HAPPENING NOW by Dauda Onawola

HAPPENING NOW

I never saw this reality coming,
So it started like a myth.
Tell my sister, tell my mother,
Somebody started a war in their boy.


My imaginations were well beaten,
Crushed and hushed, by an angel though;
It takes that much to defeat the Fire Bird.
Hello Phoenix, you've got company.

I don't know how but this is happening,
For the first time in the chronology of Phoenix,
Hell is flowing into heaven.
Hi Fire Bird, I hope and pray it be the last too.

It started with that moment of mysterious pull
In which I couldn't control the strange zeal...
...I got something to worry about...
My instinct wasn't wrong afterall.

My heart is twisting, my mind is shaking.
The path of my cerebration is breaking.
Outside the inner circle of my making,
No one ever made it this far in my head.

In no time, you gained strength in my life;
You must be the super angel that I mentioned to God.
You are a perfect being, not sure you're human
Because what you're causing is too great an upset.

The picture is getting clearer,
All I want is all I want to say
And all I want to say is ..................
