F/Nigeria Mighty words
Even though you cut off the finely woven words of our communication Even though you sank the ship that once had us aboard Even though you coldheartedly drew out the map of the miles between us Even though  the hearts lost beats and stopped synchronising But still, memories of you linger in my brain Setting my soul on fire And sending warm shivers down my spine Maybe I'm hypnotised Or rather beguiled But whatever the case You'd forever be in my happenings. © Chaste

When we were still 'US'
If it's to write I'd write so much My ink would be a river Flowing under your fluffy feet If it's to sing I'd sing so much My mellifluous voice Would bring about a melody Putting soothes to your aching heart. If it's to dance I'd dance so much You'd be entranced By the swing of my jingling waist beads. And even if it's to sleep I'd sleep so much To see you, my beloved In my wonderland Where we can wander In the garden of wondrous flowers And fall asleep Under the luminous moonlight.

Entwined
I walk down this lane The narrow path of this lush dry land Where our resources avail us not nor our destiny. For every night we fight And every morn we mourn From the torment of the hands above, Hammering our vision and barricading our success. O Compatriots! It is time To live our time For our armour of clamour is outworn. Raise the sword of freedom And cut loose this ******* That has enslaved us.
