PHOENIX99: POEM BY MANY POETS

TO THE LORD FOR MY WORDS...

DAUDA ONAWOLA:
To God, Lord of all worlds
I pray for my pen to utter such words...

That listeners in the crowd
hear her whisper so loud

That assume the critical dimension
which on perception ease hearty tension

That reach receiving minds
in same form it left behind

That open the eyes of the blind
painting feelings in cornucopia with lines

HASSAN TEMITOPE:
That doctor the ill thought-house of cynic Thomas
to let-off inferring not as rass

That cause genocide to the soul of morons
to seek refuge in the land of Solomon

SALAKO SIJUADE:
That which with great tiding
In it coming the timing

ANIMASHAUN NASIRUDEEN:
That strike love in the heart of the heartless
not forgetting to inspire the motherless

DAVID ADEDOKUN:
That places hope side by side with clouds for eyes to gaze on
That sprouts out so green on the field for mouths to graze on

AYUBA MUHYIDEEN KOLAWOLE:
That renews the mind of man for long life
That bangs the ears like a toned fife

KOMOLAFE JOHN:
That pierces the heart like a two edged sword and leaving the cure in a pleasing word.
That strike the deaf with lethal touch seeking a meaningful world.

YUNUS ABDULWAKEEL OLAWALE:
That makes a thunderous silence in the art of penning constitute a stormy debate in the heart of readers
That shall update the obsolete on the reality of life

ADEGOKE TAOHEED:
That shows the thirsty blind man the gurgling ocean in the desert
That makes hypaethral  the problems that solution defect

The form in which we live our lives
Breeds in the midst of demon hives.

THE FRONT by Dauda Onawola

THE FRONT
Going to war without weapon, I am not safe, I am conscious.
At the front, even the stones be tantamount of sword.

SHALLOW SHADOW

Light casted darkness
The reality of our illusive fate
Power of the amaranthine lone son of the day
