There's no such thing as
political sabotage!
Lets sow
A seed of corruption
That will propagate and
Spread in one
Cascading swoop
Perhaps lets turn
This disgraced democracy
Into a monkey circus
Take as much as we can
For these trees never stop
Bringing forth plenty fruits
There's no such thing as
political sabotage!
Lets empower them
With enough firearms
So they can throw fireworks
Anytime and build camps
On mineral-rich sites
They are like our children
We should learn to overlook
Their every wrong
Even still forgive
Their incessant spills
Of innocent bloods
Perhaps we the agbada
Hunters!
Have lost our whistle
And hold on these
Stray desert dogs
There's no such thing as
political sabotage!
Where convicted bandits
Are being bottle-fed with
The resources of the land
And are integrated
Into the arm
Meant to safeguard lives
Eliminate any foreign threat
But instead spread chaos
Like a giant fire-breathing
Sharp-toothed reptile!
Spitting havoc on its trail
Still?
There's not such thing as
Political sabotage
With the coming re-election
We shall steal your mandates
Again and broker peace deal
With your oppressors
Lest they don't come after us
Since our domesticated pets
Have now returned as
Mountain lions

Till the sky caves in
My search for deeper meaning
In life grows darker
I'm at a mid-point
Of a chaotic journey
That stretches my will
To keep living on
Borrowed time with broken arbor
Already and still
Ligament and bones
Trudging along high
And vast crackling ground
Should prosperity
Be split between two awfuls
One part foolery
Let me die alone
Than waste away in a union
Turned adversity
That tails me behind
With my weight and cross drowning
Catch a pause and breathe

The moody weather or something
Long overcooked perhaps
Still sizzling outside or worse
Like some giant red-hot steel
Needed taming and quenching
Oh! The blacksmiths of the skies
Blacken with thick smoke
And appeared somewhat
Motionless like some foamy
Caught on camera
The incessant light showers
During this month
could wash off the icing
Of a cake faster than
The summer heat of Miami
Some sipped and laughed while
Having their skins kneaded
We watched on our TV screens
How they got baked and ready
How they frolicked about
In rainbow bikinis and
Walked stealthily on beach sands
But somewhere in Nigeria
Same hour and day
Where the sun goes MIA
Where the indoor dwellers
Become weather observers
Overstaying her welcome
August rain is that mean guest
That lets her pneumonia sneeze
Get inside your shivering skin

You poke my heart
With spiteful words
My confidence
Retreats to its shell
You may see yourself great
King of all lords
I bet you;
There are more dead kings
And lords in hell
I cannot say to you
There's a speck
In your eyes
But it's mine
You see plain
To point at and
Speak ill of
The tongue you wag
Is coated with lies
For everytime you speak
The world stands still
For everytime you speak
The ocean’s tides
Empty their tanks
For everytime you speak
Those words you let out
Are nothing akin to a prank
For everytime you speak
Dense forests let deserts
Encroach their yards
For everytime you speak
The consequence of your acts
Should put you behind bars
But Obsidian—
Is nothing like you
She doesn't have the tongue
To taste a sacrificial ewe
Nor a vile and
Treacherous mouth
Transcending and true
Are her whispers indeed
A stone so mystic, yet bears
The markings of ancient tales

At mercy's feet a coward came
Revoke the spell that brand me shame
Immortal cloak, With cold embrace
Preserve this soul unlinked from grace
Confess thy struggles says the thought
A thousand deeds undo no drought
To wash thy guilt complete with haste
Anoint with almond, pray no waste
(Urge)
A past repeat, if time recall
Invoking every shameful fall
Controlled by lust, my handy deeds
deny this groin, its pleasure needs
(Thought)
Your reckon day, awaits its fate
To settle heaven's pass at gate
by night, an hour of death will prey
it's waste of time to weep and pray

My heart aches
And my senses fall
For into the Lethe River
I 've sunk
Everytime I pass
I contemplate
Drinking its waters
For the Lethe erases
All memories and pain
Frees you of the past and
All that ails you but I don't
Do you know why?
What would become of
My wife? My children?
They would still be bound
To this place as would I
Maybe one day
We will be free from it
In the world above
That is what I hope for
Happiness - real happiness
And you could have the same
Wish for felicity, and the river
Will show you
Your happiest memory
So that you may feel joy again
I know the pain that grips you
The greater the love,
The greater the sorrow
I have lived it too

Even in my troubled sleep
I'm at war every night
With some metamorphosed
Larvae drones
Oh my gush! These miniatures
Are so resilient and
Pesky as hell too
My body should ache
Most certainly
With parts slightly swollen
So much for the overnight
Acupuncture treatment
And blood-sucking sessions
But no thanks
Every early sunrise
I drink my herbal coffee black
And had my sound siesta
Mostly in my daytime job
I should replenish
Those deficient ****** plasma
And be ready for war at night
Oh yes! War with
Some tiny female anopheles
Multiple high-pitched
Whining sounds everywhere
That signal the incoming invasion
They have got some plasmodium spies
Running down the length of my veins
I feel like I'm losing the war
I should get stupidity medal honors
For bravely endangering my life
Every night and again
And now!
I'm all hooked up to an IV line
At my ward ceiling of care.

In her over-wrapping
Arm embrace
Under the yellow banana moon
My soul finds
Purity and solace
As she puts love
Medicine on my teaspoon
Smothered sunset sails
On her warmth
Breathe and cough
As I cast my eyes
Upon her mouthy rove
Frosty and sugary
Her impeccable love
Could coat my inexperienced
Heart twice enough
What an over-extension
Of my true self and being
She is; with a fierce body
And piercing eyes stare
That glitter like those
Little stars; still shimmering
Though from a billion yards
Away but seems so near
She had been cold as ice
For so many years
And could no longer endure
The long boring night
Come near and closer
Stay forever I plead her
So she may see where
My love lies

On one gloomy evening
Neighborhood stray-paws
Come to prey
Backyard roosters
Yapping and flapping
Pillowcase feathers sprout
In the color of snow grey
Got spooked suddenly
Waking slumbered bind
Still blinded
By freezing disbelief
An odd sight it was
For the dreamer
Lost inside his own mind
Horrible animal noise
Should tunnel-guide
To the light
Back to the cold
Struggling-bound world
Where deep sleep is
Certainly an obvious escape
Place though trickery peaceful
Nothing could hurt there
Except diffuse our aura
Metaphysically beyond space
Between reality and fantasy
If I'm to choose
I shall go with the latter
Because I don't want to
Take a rifle resume another
Cycle of violence noose
Knowing one day
I could forever retire
To a wonderful fantasy too

Nothing we haven't seen
Many times before
How you forge stuffs
Bending them all
To your twisted will
A kind Nurse
That you are
I shall mistake you for
Always checking on earth
That's being terminally ill
How many times
Have you come visiting
To the bereaved
You are bad omen
And not a hero
Costume embroidered
With pocket clocks and ticking
Well, nobody's counting
Till life fades to zero
Lure me not to sleep
With your sad lullaby
Nor accost me in the shape
Of an unusual passer-by
For there are a million ways
To die and bid goodbye
