VARIATION

VARIATION
The day will soon be over
and the night will take over.
The dotless skin will get folds.
Time-smile induced
physical incapabilities.
What a transition?!
Courtesy of time.

These are the words;
while you can, please do,
while you are, please be.
The redolence or rancor of old age
shan't be tasted by all.

But then, night is not the end of time.
Again, the day will come over
bringing forth yesterday in deeds
making the cycle complete in its characteristics.
Here or hereafter,
today haunts tomorrow.

Today answers the call of yesterday
and so shall tomorrow honor today
until there is no day again when
the day and night will be dark.
In honor of Mathematics,
the mother of science,
''there is direct variation between
deeds and rewards with the circle of light
as the constant''.

ROMEO AND JULIET

ROMEO AND JULIET

There is a pain in my head.
Striking my heart so hard,
my mind aches so immensely.
I have tried but I can't blend.
The moments of ache agonizes.

It's not of beauty and the beast,
it's another Romeo and Juliet.
Love was found at the other side
of religious barrier.
Ambient situations lead to dead end.

Love is not wild
so no need to tame.
It's enough condition
to tear the boundary
only if the will
is not negative on the scale.

How I wish for fulfillment
of my friendvs desire.
How I wish we live
in a world of no religion.
How I wish we thrive
in light of The Almighty
without path partition
unto The Supreme Being.

Any moment it strikes,
it hurts my mind
just like it did the last time
all of the time afresh.
I can't deal with it,
I can only hope
that Asfiya's next life proposal
be approved by The Almighty
that her other half
may exist in religious unison with her.

SHAMBLES

SHAMBLES
Making how many messengers,
making how many prophets,
making how many prophecies,
making how many warnings,
making how many signs
have thus been sent to humanity
from the realms of supreme divinity?

Instead of choosing tranquillity
and positive quest for prosperity
and other things that shall usher the race to grace,
Humans created partitions
out of the messages received - religion,
then allowed the greed we perceive - social class
also drew line of skin color - racism
and so the natural order was naturally compromised.

Humans running a non-human race
on the greatest sphere in existence,
the track is bound to be shambles...

DANGER WITH STRANGER

DANGER WITH STRANGER

Can you shake the ground?
Will you lift the thrones?
Shall we make everything go away?

Bear the pain, will you?
Take a cut, can you?
As we make everything go away.

Devour the beast, can you?
Nurse a monster, will you?
Retain vengeance to evoke revenge, shall we?

Sink in danger with a stranger, can you?
Convenant of truth, truth of the curse,
the outer meager me and inner boundless being.

Deny thy identity yet retain personality, will you?
All the way until our days, be with me, will you?
I will squash the past that we may live in our time
as we consummate my mission, now ours
as you accede.

Along the cycle of existence,
will you elevate my path of nature?
Lets make everything go away
then let life in paradise commence.

GHETTO TEMPO II; PHOENIX

GHETTO TEMPO II: PHOENIX

The eyes that have seen paradise,
the twin brother of hell.
It's not another entity,
just another sight,
dark ere, now light.

Past, future and present fight,
the inevitably altered order
for time ahead so bright
in natural borders.

Born in the gutters,
rose to the plains,
looked out to the horizon
holding bread without butter
in worries and pain.

Is thy fate sealed or abandoned?
Even when down to the ash
like Phoenix, the fire bird
so must thou resurrect.

Attila the Hun fell in Chalons.
History went with many a batallion.
Ascension stalking descendance...
This battle is one which cannot be lost.
Nevertheless or nonethemore,
ghetto soldiers claim victory over defeat.

HEAVY FEATHER

HEAVY FEATHER
Like a cow with bloat,
they possess distended sense of person
filled with gases of harm,
thoughts with false wings
and head that takes them to the sky.
The falsified illusion of being,
negativity to worsen the likes,
celebrity in art or art of celebrity,
politician or leader by nomenclature
is what they call themselves.

Humility lightens the path itself
that the subject may know where to step,
ego raises that light and
you see your destination
but pride goes before a fall.
Ile nyo* (watch your steps),
death shall meet the (sluggish) chameleon
just as it will catch a (jumping) frog.

BROKEN

BROKEN
I see it.
I see the pain thriving in your heart.
I see invisible tears rolling down your cheeks.
I see frustration emanating at peak.

I see it.
I see your urge for liberation from the past.
I see every single feeling you wish to cast.
I see it's a mixture and that's why it lasts.

I see it, yes, I see it.
I see everything in your smelly creed.
You still wonder, ''what came in through which creek?''
You still wonder how it brought you ease, again make you bleed.

Now I see your pieces, I see it.
You were broken, I see what it is.
It's a journey, you shall meet a lasting bliss.
One that will lead and never make you hiss.
Life might just bring it, better still, go for it.

HALL OF MYSTERY

HALL OF MYSTERY
The home of irony
with blissful occupants in agony.
Every spot with different melody,
here, dancing is a compulsory affair
and thou shalt not live in fear.
Whether or not the supreme judge is fair
thou cannot declare because his judgement
just like that of a common judge
is in favor of some and hostile to some.

Confusion is the theme of the day
as there are different tunes from every corner.
Which to dance to?
This remains the question on board.

The world is life, life is a mystery
and it doesn't belong to anybody
but there is an exception,
a case in which the assortment
of tunes forms a beat
and a fellow dances right,
the fellow in question
fall into a famous and/or wealthy contention
though it doesn't last till the end
of the celebration.

We are all here,
 except the one in charge,
he chose to stay afar
and watch the party
in the roofless hall of mystery.

I CAN

I AM ABLE
There is ability in disability,
great upset in naturality,
a light that even the blind could se,
a sound that even the deaf could hear,
these are situation-depenedent phenomena.

Now, watch it well, on the average
if hearing isn't lost, the blind hears better;
if eyes retain activity, the deaf sees better;
with working forelimbs, the legless does all things with hands
and I watched one handless man cook a meal with the hindlimbs.

There is ability in disabilities that are real,
bizarre realities depending on what have we,
induced hyper-functionality this is,
in some cases of the reality.
The ambiguity of the man entity
is inexhaustible so to reveal,
the limits of humanity really seem
to have no seal,
the more it is pushed,
more is unconcealed.
If one can't do this, he may do that better.
A better world for all is all that matters.
