What happened here?

The four letter title that follows for eternity
To tell every man who can read,
every man who is still
That one was once a dweller of the patched land.
Be it clothed or ragged, it stays before the earthly name
Before we all attain,
humility should be our compass

Yesterday israfael came again
Took a lovely soul,
and made earth weep
Rest well Josephine,
give that blissful smile to the Lord.

I yearn for the dark
Life to be still
Magnificently Mysterious
Look death in the face,
and life turns a blind eye

I yearn for the dark, I say
Glow to be gloomy
Faintly Fantastic
The graveyard tell it's tale
It receives all, no matter where from

I yearn for the dark
To be still and have none to lay beside
To see it all and know them all
Final Farewell
To be darkened by the Lords light

I have it all
I know them all

On my mobile are all my friends
Since the real ones stab without remorse
On my mobile I lend my trust
Freely I give each morning with a loving 'Hello'
I have none around when life kicks
On my mobile are people who, freely, they give a facade of what not
I am all to none and none to all
I live by me for me and with me

For

I have it all,
I know them all.

Our love was hard to maintain so we broke it
The little things ****** us off
We craved what the flesh wants
And listened not to our hearts
We stay mute when alone and talk louder when we're with friends
A façade we gave to those who wanted
You taste much bitter than you used to
Our lips don't lock but we've got keys to part
Our love was hard to maintain so we broke it
Mutually
Only thing that made us keep our numbers was the ***
Mutually
We sold our soul to it times after times

What will we be remembered for
When Tis due our time
To give our sayings to the Man above,
of all our deeds?
Tachycardia hits when noughts been done
Like Table d'hote, are all our acts
   To the homes we brought joy
   To the hearts we mended
   To the hours we spent saving souls
   To the pains we soothed
   To the plans we duly executed
What will we be remembered for
when Tis due our time?

Sshhh!
A minute silence to the departed,
be it faithful or sinful, let's observe
The beautiful lieu of the ones who were before
The new home of those who've said goodbye
Sshhh!
The eerie feeling of déjà vu hits again
The sun rises not in this marble arch
The loud silences that deafens all
Sshhh!
Another is laid to rest on the east wing
A fresher to tell new tales
Many dressed to bid farewell
A fair lady screams to Israfael
Sshhh!
Tell all to prepare the initiation rite
A newcomer to make all look good as dead
Sshhh!
Someone looks here, staring deeply
Sshhh!
Tell all to lay still till dark.

"I want take another direction, but no road" I said to a friend
"why do you want to do such" she inquired.

If only she knew the demons within
If only she knew how it all began
The troubles, the wars beneath,
everyday I come alive sore
The pain in my heart, the curse given to it
The soul is not within anymore - a living corpse -
Something different I want to be
Not to bear offsprings, they won't agree
Not to be with the opposite 'cos nothing loves
Not to shed a tear 'cos I've gone dry
Not to eat 'cos there's no flesh to feed

To feel my pain, its his only gain
The demon within..
Do as you wish but hurt none within reach
Anyone who knows me, see for your self
My heart and soul hangs at his window pane.

You seen it?
You get the picture yet?

Get along and join the others
Go out and search for it
Be with men of various hearts
Let your mind be poisonous to evil
Let your heart welcome good

Get along in the search for it...
What makes a man, a man
What a woman desires in a man
What makes the world respect a man
Be brave and never back down
Its hard to find, you must search, search I say

You seen it?
You get the picture?

When it all began, we blossomed
twas happiness all the way
knowing life ain't a bed of roses
I had Faith kicking me on
"The perfect ones" we were called
     Faith told me to live
     cos' you're the one true being
     Faith told me to believe
     cos' nothing was going to come between us
     Faith told me to be weak
     cos' you're strong for the both of us
Now that tis over
what's thy Fate, Faith?

A day to sit and remember
A warm night i sat in November
Out on the front sit we drove to the beach
Downed bottles to make heavens reach
Almost, i got drowned with alcohol and salt water
The thought of my family, my dear brother,
flashed as i took in a nice amount of water
The Lord's lariat held me through to shore

A day to sit and remember
A warm night i sat in November

Years spent in this great citadel
Lessons learnt & time depleted
Out into the real world I go
The Lords grace with me till I'm old
A father who i owe my all,
too soon he lost his only ally
A sister, who took up the mantle
too soon she learnt to be a mother
A brother to soothe & calm the father,
too soon he became a man
Thank You all for the inspiration,
and being my driving force.

A frame dating back
The nostalgic feeling of a former home
How we all stood and watched
How we all wondered how it happened

Why does it hurt again?

The three offsprings looking down
In the cushioned box whence she laid
Tears, free flowing
Mouths agape, a child cries
Its the end of the road Ma,
Pray under the bossom of the Lord
You Rest.

Before it started I thought
I had won the battles I fought
Before I go in really deep
I had only learnt the word creep
Before she decided to use her fist
I had brought the devil to out midst
Before I put on the holy vest
I had sprayed hades lovely pest
Before it all happened
I had seen the end glistened

Tis been long I got something down
All day everyday I walk with a frown
To give meaning to what holds me back
All day everyday running round the school's track
I guess long walks do help the mind
All day everyday I thought to find,
What holds me from writing
All day everyday I go to bed with the craving
A phase... The phase is finally over
All day everyday I'll give a new on proper
Do have a nice day wherever you are
All day everyday....

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
A woman's heart I took out
my emotions in chains again
everything done, no gain coming
Alack! In me a clean tout
Bless me Father under the rain

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
A tabularasa is all that I need
my soul, Israfael takes to his master
a leviathan in disguise, I know
my heart like a tide goes yonder
Bless me Father when it starts to snow

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
The monumental choristers are ready
when I asceed the rafter, Father
please let me through heavens gate steady
I hope I did well on your errand
Oruku's first son morbidly ascends

Tis now I know
Tis now I can tell
Thinking all in life will glow
Everyday we gnawed in pain
Worry Not She Would Return

Tell Momma life been hard
If ever there was a ray of sunshine
Momma left,
In the land she bore me into
Her Return Unknown

Oloruku, the days of solitude,
the pregnant sky had to give
Each day repeating itself to torment
Sunday, the day not to forget
She Would Return You Said, To The Tent

The child is now a man
Without you there's profusion of sorrow
Though I write, momma i don't know
that which took you away, no return momma
Remember, Remember You Were Once Human.

Live a life people will want to have
Stop existing and start living
'cos tomorrow is unknown and our father
Knows already how it will end.
Love more and hate less, but don't be stupid
In all, Learn to Live Life Loud.

NIGHT
Our introduction while pasting
a walk in classes with haste
started shortly with the lovely greeting
tis being planned, our meeting by sire fate

MORNING
Close your eyes, the event day
never fathomed the meeting will happen 'gain
"finally we meet, your number so i'll buzz everyday"
up in the mountains and valleys our kingdom reign

EVENING-NIGHT
The hidden desires, free outburst
fire meets gasoline, the match
both want our whole and not the crust
the demons in us, play a game of Russian rematch

As the bells ring for saints
to go into heavenly slumber
At sunset the grey-haired lay
in the box proper
Away from the moist air they'd
love to take in longer
Acute heartache stay, hours into days
as brothers go beyond the border
A chunk of charming choristers
sing hallelujah
A once happy home goes silent, a
loving sand goes yonder
Aaah! I, scared to go in now
pray to you merciful father.

Why do we go to church?
To show our devotion
Or a dress-up to match the chapel?
To listen to what the preacher says
Or to sit next to a regular crush?
To go with one mind of worshipping
Or to make people worship your wears?
I ask Again
Why do we go to church?
To exalt the rich
Or to pray for sinners?
To oppress with chunks for donation
Or to give the last of ones own?
Why do we go to church??

That I loved many with a heart
That I did more when I shouldn't
That I told Stephanie she was too fat
That I told Ola to give up & not fight it
That I didn't pray like my mama did
That I show no remorse when wrong
That...that I don't know how to Love.

I wonder,
Why we thrive to attain much,
And it ends with eulogy in church?
Why we struggle to make ends meet,
Praying fervently at his holy feet?
Why we choose to live,
And make others believe?
Why we must know love,
And not given a handy glove?
I wonder,
When I go in six feet
Will I be in thy holy kit?
I am for the Lord
I wonder if he'll send His holy cord?

Pray
The feeling, I consume hate
The thought, I get it all late
The grace, I know little of my fate
The movement, I move, stuttering towards
  the gate

Amen
To the thoughts I own
To things I'll achieve
To the fact I'm grown
That nothing will make me grieve.

On the day I go in
A band of dancers, around
A drum of wine for guest
I have lived and caroused life, will be said
The journey to the great beyond
begins,
With the loss of air
No tears, No dark linen
A debt to pay is death
At the end, we credit our Father

A curse I say, the thing of the heart
Must one love and be loved?
For the sunset and sunrise we lay
Tis growing high like a seed in clay
Say, must we hold on no matter
The reverberation of Earth pulls apart
For better No worse, is it love?
A curse I say, the thing of the heart.

That I am the brilliant one I know not
Walking to school, back home to my abode, my fort
Say, give An explanation, handwritten on the board
Close to the white blackness, I look unto the Lord..
