CONSPIRACY

CONSPIRACY
I sense conspiracy,
what do you perceive?
Light immediately after darkness,
what was it doing underneath?
What turned into what?

The reason why they connive
is the subject of query.
Why is the light at the end of the tunnel?
Mostly, it is sweat before sweet,
why not sweet all through or otherwise?

Why must man suffer to survive?
Is this truely nature's plan
or a blueprint of an alien force?
There is a situation,
everybody thinks I'm breaking
but what have we done
to deserve this trouble making?

SECOND HALF

SECOND HALF

The denominator of a quarter in years ago,
I departed my comfort zone
for arrival at war zone,
a giant stride towards the throne.
On that day, in my Mama's face,
I saw the assortment of feelings:
joy; my boy is becoming a man,
fear; Dauda is going to stay away,
her first son will be a lone ranger
over 800Kms away from her,
I felt the motherly pull.

My own heart, heavy as metal
as for the first time I would be out for real,
time to claim Okunrin Ogun.
All the words, all the past
running through my tiny mind.
Unlike here, there I can't be blind
not at all, else I would lag behind.
Nobody to lead, it's a dangerous climb.
But then I remembered a man told me
'if you don't get lost, you won't find yourself'.

So I left and here I came,
I am here, this I always remind God.
Vulnerable as possible,
I don't want to be visible
so I hid myself inside pretense
my moves I made so intense
bearing at heart, this is not home.
Suffered all I should,
did all I could,
some believed I was crude.

In the year after the second,
I pulled my sister, blood bond
seems I am gaining momentum.
Be a doctor, be a poet,
be the best you can of a Vet,
be the best not the rest.

The usual theme of life,
friends and foes, so I made
as well acquired the syndrome,
the No Time Phantom.
The seat of the caliphate here I am
claiming my fate.
I got myself a sister,
I got myself brothers and
my point of arrival no longer matter...
According to the number of years
I have in the affair,
this is the second half
and I see enough around me ...

BI (IF) - translated

BI
Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye
Bi eda ba mo ojo ti yi o la,
eda o bati ye foni sare ola nitori ola
Bi eda ba mo ojo iku
ti o mo ojo ti o ku
eda o ba sise siseku
Bi eda ba mo ode aremabo
eda o bama ku boro
tori lojo ina eda o ni rina
nitoripe eda ti riran

Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye
Bi igba ba gbami, n ba ti ye sa gbami gbami
Bi mo ba maye, n ba ti ye waye
Bi eda ba mo ona ko ma ni sonu

Eledumare wa petemi ni ire
Bi mo ba sare tabi mo rin gbere
ki ona mi sati jasire

IF
If I understood life, i'd have stopped contemplating
If man knew when he'll make it
he'd have desisted from running for wealthy future
If man knew when he'll die
and how many days he has left
he'd have been striving not to vanish completely
If man knew his journey of no return
he'd not die in time (live longer)
because on the day of woe, he won't walk
because he had seen

If I understood life, i'd have stopped stopped contemplating
If time saved me, I'd have stopped running helter skelter
If I knew life, I'd have stopped the quest
If man knew the way, he won't get lost

God, pronoune me successful
Whether I run or walk slowly
my path should just lead to success

GAOLER

GAOLER

I am my own prisoner
I live in my own mind
I roll on my own lane
I do only what I command
I am what I please
When kismet take over
I please what I am

Besides me, only destiny hold authority
I am my own self
I am the lord of my world
I rule what and how I want
In fact, it had been just me and my fate
Together with all my perfect imperfections
As the entity in control
I am my own prisoner
And the universe is my yard
Every individual in my way is an inmate
Welcome to my world

DEATH???

WHAT COMES TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU REMEMBER DEATH IS INEVITABLE?
Here, I wish humans don't have to die in the first place but now that we have to I just wish to have a good place in paradise at the mercy of Allah cos I know I may never have enough rewards on good deeds to earn me the place. As to my presence here, I the past and what I have done is gone so Iake efforts to be good to all that comes my way that karma may fight for me positively in the end.

WRITTEN PATH: DIVERSITY

WRITTEN PATH: DIVERSITY
Bird for the sky
Fish for water
Train for the rail
Car for the road
The wild in the forest
The tamed all around
Me on my lane
You on your path
So we make impact
Separate color for each dart
Just as in their target
Diversity in efforts
be an inevitable trend
to meet individual ends
For a car on the rail
For a fish in the sky
When divinity is not compromised
It's an appreciable desperacy
But for the subject
It's an end en route to the ends
At least there will be ghastly spoils
Consciously or in oblivion
When the subject faces another fate
