21/F/Nigeria I Write. / Deep thoughts restructure the mind.
It's death. The dying sleeps And dreams her way into death. I'm alive But I'm mourning forever 'Til I dream too It's death. Chooses who gets to leave Ungodly hour, But a destined event. I'm alive Hoping to be taken But not caught unawares It's death. She knows what exists In the great beyond Chooses how we explore. I'm alive Making earth a home Until I'm taken to the unknown.

PRINCE OF PARTIAL
What kills a curse If not a curse. If not the curse of prayer If not the curse of death If not the curse of a confession If not the curse of a new birth what else will it be? The truth can **** a curse. Start from telling it.

WHAT KILLS A CURSE?
The time to wail has always been here Every day we suffer the consequences owned by the heirs Not for once have they worn our shoes They have refused to please our clues Yet they devise new means of sitting on the throne Without giving in to our daily moan. Hypocrites Meetings upon meetings Agbada upon dansiki Designer upon latest trends Convoy upon macho guards Yet they proclaim it’s all vanity. Hypocrites! In the end of the fashion rally at the house, Worthless Nothing of importance is established But the cake is diminished And then they blame it on poor rats. Hypocrites! Blame them and no one else! Because it’s their selfish interest they fight for and not us. From the doom by boko haram To the slaughter by herdsmen. Hypocrites! Don’t we see it! The people get to die But they live to see their greatest grandchildren While their billion dollar ready made coffins rot in the backyard. Hypocrites! God is the ultimate judge Only God can make the evil one right in his sight.

NIGERIA’S BIGGEST CULT
Obey the nations call How do we serve our leaders right When They stand for the worst Then we say “If I be in power I will work but I’ll steal a little” Shame shame shame How do we Help our youth the truth to know When our friends are on their laptops defrauding Shame shame shame In love and honesty to grow When only killings and kidnapping we sow Shame shame shame How do we live in just and truth When We fight for equality But the spirit of rivalry Has overshadowed the objective Great lofty height attain But Religion is like scales in our eyes “It is well. it is well” Faith without work is dead Double standards is the life we live Shame shame Shame Hopefully peace and justice shall reign. Awake O hypocrites With fluctuating morals Shaky beliefs Awake O hypocrites And fight for the Noble cause

AWAKE O HYPOCRITES!
There was a man in black, He confessed his love but she was cajoled by his wealth and so she fell for his charm There was a girl in black She confessed her love but he was ignorant of her trickery and he fell carelessly for an impostor There sat mother earth. She turned a blind eye to the mishaps and called it extraordinaire

EVIL LOOKS GOOD
Light the candle of love, And love the light you have lit Give attention to the fire Let it shine, don’t let it tire Don’t give way to the wax Its pride lasts longer than the candlelights' Don’t give way to death For then, will be the beginning of revenge Light the candle of love Love the light while it shines

CANDLE OF LOVE
God chose you Not a “mere man” He did not imagine being abandoned Although he envisioned it But he called you back God chose you Not a “mere man” He whispered into your ears the truth Hoping you’d “hearken” But you refuse God chose you Not a “mere man” His kingdom isn’t for them He placed a crown on your head But you refuse coronation God chose you Not a “mere man”

MERE MAN
Your touch is invisible I see it clearly I feel it deeply You light up my life With a whisper in my dark mind. I experience glory You are not a man But a friend to many. It’s undeserving You love me Excessively. Am I worth it?

Today I am not me I sat with a scoundrel We shot at the birds effortlessly We shot at the guys accurately We laughed codedly like a snail in its shell Today I am not me I walked with a rebel We stole money deliberately We fought politics criminally We rejoiced openly Like a dragon unleashing hell Today I am not me I dined with Giselle she taught me inappropriately We sought for men judiciously We did this secretly Like a rat stealing a morsel Today I am not me I fell for Joel We kissed intentionally We loved unconditionally We unveiled our reality Like a man revealing his jewel Today I am not me Tomorrow I will be me

I AM NOT ME
I have procrastinated love I have hindered your affection from sprouting I postponed the nights we’d be together; For the truth I was scared to share. I have procrastinated love. Now, I wake everyday feeling empty I thought you would have waited But you left me and my thoughts to moan You have procrastinated love You too deserve the blame You promised to return but like procrastination You kept me in your mind With no actions to back your vision
