You Don't Know Anything
Born Dec 2014
Your soo lucky you look beautiful
and I bet you didn't know am your favorite cloud, yeah, favourite cloud

                    Me running towards the sun to shade you is just a normal thing.
               The heat, my face falling
scorched skin , this is me preparing for the theaters
             You see, am a good actor, the one who just likes to cry at night and eat ice cream in the morning

             Ice cream in the morning! I know that's strange, but I have to freeze my heart so that I can run to  the sun
          when poets melt then romance fades
inspired by wicked hope

Life's options
why am i such a lost seed
my world crumbling on me
life has never seemed darker

I stepped outside to seek some refuge
air,breathe, brother grasps something

I've been thinking  alot lately
some days of the future
i hope am being an impressive ape
my story a decade from now
is my latest obsession

Sometimes i want to understand why
we create our own future
why our fate is in our own hand
why life's journey is the longest with thorns
*and the devil's shadow clung to us

There's light at the end of the tunnel
This is what you've been taught
This is what you hope for
This is your wish

Wish
Wishes don't came true
this is just a fairy tale
No huntsman to save you
Never was a Superman
No Arthur to pardon you

Your sins are your own
Your vessel to wear
your skin
they feed on you
Define you
Leach on your soul

You opened the gates of hell
now the devil is upon you
not us
Upon you

So you turn back to God with shame
but he wouldn't talk to you
you seek more
Weep more
You hope for mercy
You wish for heaven
but heaven!

Heaven is already gone

Heaven doesn't exist
Heaven didn't exist
heaven was never here
you opened the gates of hell
now you wish for heaven
but wishes!
Wishes are just fairy tales
There never here
they were never here
Should be read very fast and intense

You chose a high life
and we paid for every dollar
it didn't matter if we crawled in the mad
your joy was our price to pay

Over the years i tried to love
or maybe just reason with you
but you were already in too deep
a life without bottle, is no life for you*

I've had bumps and commas while searching for an apple
An apple for my hollowed  heart
a smile to cover my despair

Like a wish you appeared
her beauty not seen in millenniums
her laughter is like a soothing tone that creeps peace in me

It feels like the sun is gonna shine here forever
if this is a dream ,i don't wanna forever wake up
if this is an illusion,I don't forever need reality

This ain't a fairy story
am not a fairy tale

without doubt he has fallen (whispers from gossips)

Kings will proclaim it to be a holiday of regret
the one veiled with kisses that hurt

These stars sim darker
These heart was just massacred
These thoughts are forever taunting
These life is worse than death

Tell you something you don't know
these soul can be thistled
keep, keeping running and landing on thorns
your stared with thoughts of being devoured

decades ago
he sang you tales of stealth
but darkness, can be stronger
this is war
and cowards, are the only ones who are possessed with fear

They will write anthems of your courage
sing songs of your strength
perform poems to your broken widows
your progeny, will know of your suffering and sacrifice
'a beautiful dalliance indeed'

You armor yourself with solitude
instead of golds they offer you
they are gone
but they took you with them "it Sims"

The bishop says
your just a devil among angels
but deep, deep down
he knows your an angel among demons

Hello Poetry
Born Oct 2014
When am on hello poetry
I feel different
like am in space,floating around

This is my comfort zone
I get to be me without worrying
i know I have a family here
they want me in the Ark
far from waves and storms

What I write is just my world
My unwritten story
A diary that I share with everyone
i voice my souls long sufferings
and my triumphs

Am not a good poet
you already know that
but there people here with magnificent talents
Joe Cole being the father of words
musfiq the guy with delicious words
Patty m one of my favorites
Pamela Rae is definitely a highborn, can't ever be on her level

I write down my emotions
things ive kept in for centuries
this is how i get to express myself
in real world
believe me when i tell you in real world am like a rock
you'll never see this side of me

*am a very quite person and I definitely keep everything to myself

Dear earth when I told you I liked her more, I wasn't kidding

Dear earth, time stopped  whenever I saw her.

Dear earth, tell her if I could go back and change everything I would

Dear earth, the pain is real, the pain is so much real I can't even breathe this words out

Dear earth, your so strong and patient, I wish I could be like you

Dear earth, they say wisdom comes with age, mine came with pain

Dear earth, I would have loved to love my father

Dear earth, what happened to heaven on earth. All i see is hell on earth

Dear earth, am melting into lava

Dear earth, you've swallowed kings and the mighty, be gentle with me

Dear earth, am still holding onto this dear fragile life

Dear earth, why is this poem so empty

So i meek with destiny for my own

tell me why we never changed
tell me how we always go back
tell me why we are still tamed
tell me if there's good in badness that
we aspire

change is a difficult deed
your only required to decide
though the puzzle is their to 'slug'
you behind

don't let your spirits and confidence
be undermined
with void and vanity of this world
protection comes from your lord
So seek guidance from greed

I told you about betrayal
cause I once clung to some nobody

something about it cools my heart
i 'm only beneficial

i sing about destiny
what do i know about it?

I just wanna use you
cause love is all I steal
i  know something about strangers
Sometimes they fill the void, and maybe execute your wishes

a man came to me and said
Revolution was the most painful thing that ever happened to him

I didn't see it
We hardly noticed the tides changing

With our unwavering conviction we believed
with passionately believed
nobody warned us
We blindly went all in

But that's just it
We believed the half baked truth we were given
we believed the compassionate lies we were told
we utterly feel in love with the "truth"

We could see change and hope
we could finally see the dreams of our
sons and daughters
mothers and fathers
coming to light
we could taste victory and the sweet fragrance of freedom coming our way.

But we couldn't see the destruction and annihilation that it came with
the pain and suffering awaiting us
The void and ache that would envelope us
That the price was going to be catastrophic and dreadful

Play with,tune with and then dump with

You think my best days are behind me

You got a bright future behind


Did you ever...

Don't touch my gold,you know I dont like it
penning about life the way i like it

I sympathize with hoes,and drug addicts
Forced by the lords to circulate it
Even though, they don't matter, they still dislike it
Victims of circumstances where's humanity
We cry blood as tears but nobody gets it

You strive for gold,but can never have it
You beg for storms with low spirits
Why cling to the unknown and be a *******
I know, it's impossible to escape sadists
I feel for you that's why I wrote this
When love was blessed and that's it
this is for those slave girls
a life of no choice but many consequences

Am so happy we can live a lie
without worrying about the cracks
without knowing they exist

I had a  fight with the devil
just to bring you flowers
I had no idea that you were unhappy
you could have told me
that you were unhappy

                     I had
                                                    a heart  
                              when I
wrote this


I gave my heart to this girl
but I guess she purposely hurt me
I feel angry for nothing
I barely go out in the public

If only they know
what I go through
they wouldn't judge me
I bet they wouldn't judge me
no they wouldn't judge me
No more!

I find light in the darkest places
am immune to struggle
just like am used to  losing people
who'd say I love you

You chewed me up

I rose again

They wanna push you
They wanna see you fall down
So many ****** went down the wrong road
you can too
who's going to catch you if you fall down?

Life is a gamble
I hit my joint and roll the dice
That **** you trynna do, I done it twice

When it seems your faith is broken
Don't lose hope

Born Jul 2015
My local is not for the faint hearted. Lovers turned~haters brawl. People get poisoned, cops are beaten and a reveller once fell and died after a nonsensical fight with a friend he had been boozing with

It is the sort of place you keep one eye open. Your wallet could be swiped from your hind pocket, carjackers could trail you and work on  you right at your gate

Anyway due to all this shenanigans, security is paramount. The first line of defence are watchmen who spend the whole night preventing people who are too drunk to fight, from attempting to make a nuisance of themselves.

Then we have bouncer the clubs elite commandos. When idiots start clobbering each with broken beer bottles, it's their duty to raid that corner of the pub and fling the villains out

But you know what the bouncer does. Every morning, without fail, irrespective of whatever time he eaves the pub tired like a dog, he holds his little girls hand and walks her to the bus stop to catch the school bus

Every morning, without fail.......

Born Sep 2017
When nobody thought that your words
Were worth a dime  
still remember that
The world needs poets

When she lost her child
But still Clinging on her remains
and the once beauty eyes are now pale
and words stuck on her throat
You'll remember that
The world needs poets

When you got down on one knee
and the look on her face
rendered you speechless
You'll know that
The world needs poets


When the world is burning
democracy on trial
and your rights assumed
You'll wish that
The world knew a poet

When your heart bleeds
and memories suffocate you
cause every season is like winter without him
and a voice inside you asks
"did you think being a lover was easy"?
then you'll know that
Only a poet can answer that question

So she’s been reading depress


Don’t ever take the vice that was great advice mama
Retired teacher but your words still got me evolving

We stopped talking about dad
That ***** still in the club
Call him after we get off the phone
And show him some love
That guy loved you to death
He made mistakes throughout his life that he still doesn’t accept
But he still wants our forgiveness
And **** look how we living
I’m content with this story
Who are we not to forgive him

I wondered
What if the blame fell on me
stretched on my hammock
Feeling the despair of the fading dawn
and the striking of the sun rays on thy sagging skin
a sky encaged by darkness

Wheeling the blame as I mourn
the loss of my heart was a blow
reminiscing on the nights you moaned
the feeling of love and ecstasy reborn
peeking at the tales to most unknown

A potent heart
Confined to her social being
Glittering it's tales
Which laid her oddity
Blue iced eyes
Irresistible

As Days screamed into years
a once exuberant face dimmed into darkness
Nostalgia of those withering days
ailing into a feeble poet
Collaborated with the voyager

Walking on the badlands
secluded darkest part if this planet
My heart melts, as I relay this dreaded tale

She crawls with a dwindling hope
Her worn out feet couldn't carry her any longer
HELP ME, she says
With a fainting voice, low parched and raspy  
that's dying from existence.
but the society dares not to blink
From the mare that stares with great fright

She drags her feeble legs
Holding on to chair next to her
While attempting to stand up
Trading her life for mercy
RESPECT ME, she yells
Am I not a human being
for without my womb
Would any if you exist.
A man paused
and paradoxically stared at her
with unquenched thought  of great irate
"what is this thing doing here?"
A glimpse of what women of today go through.

Born Jun 2018
Ever thought your inside a simulation
that your reality is constantly changing
Your narrative written for  a certain purpose
Your heartbreaks
the pains youve  endured in the name of life
Was nothing but a programmed reality

Ever thought of the people you've crushed while climbing up
Because of that pain you caused her
She went and cried in that office corner
But he came and offered, sympathy, empathy
Whatever she needed
And her love story begun because of your crush

Ever thought the misery you keep experiencing is your own doing
that your on the verge of damnation cause you want to
Because the puzzling emotions are only here
Cause you want them to be here
Holding onto illusive memory
that once was, but isn't anymore

Ever thought of visiting Berlin, I think we all love Berlin
Or maybe the pyramids of Egypt
What about Paris, the food and the warm friendly folks
Can't forget Abraham Lincoln, we all have a little bit of linc in us
Brazil and samba dance, that, I wouldn't miss

Ever thought of writing a poem about writing a poem
Spilling your gut but in an eccentric way
Puzzling thoughts about everything
like this poem ever thought it'll ever exist
if it's even  a poem

When love is enough

When greed is vanquished

When the tears of the homeless are wept

When we can  feel the winter in there bones

when we stand by our fellow beings in there darkest hours

When we leap with lepers

When we eat with the poor

When you're frustrated, all you hear is the opposition that, the government here, and the people t h e r e

When you know that your yesterday was worse and nothing is being done to assuage your pain today

When we refuse to be ruled by heartless tyrants

When we explore more on creativity that is being drained

When  we shake the system back to its rhythm

When the line between right and wrong becomes blur

When she's the reason you suffocate

When heaven is a little farther and hell a little closer

When poets stop writing and their inks clot with sorrow

When fear turns into rage

When your soul is turned into  ashes and you know your fate is certain

When silence is all that exists

When you cannot distinguish
between love and hate.

When curse taints the saints

When you can see my tears in the rain

When you realise she's not the angel you were after but the demon you've been running from

When your in the dark for so long,light feels like an illusion

When you still cling to the way things were instead of letting them be what they are

Would you rather I fill you with fallacies of love
Or speak the truth
For years we dwell on what is sweet or easy to bear
for years we dwell on what is sweet or easy to bear
let that sink in
Whatever the truth is , it most certainly has never been easy

Hypnotized to accept what is
But in reality, it isn't
And what isn't  leave us salivating
for that beautiful dalliance with life


We are hooked
Subconsciously slaving
Inventing picnics in the name of innovation
high on rugged ideas puffed into a void

remember to let them know
that
talent
is not a luck

so when you
paint words
that are impossible to craft

or

sing a high note
with
so much passion
and confidence

let them know it is not by luck

Poor you
Born Oct 2017
It either 'coronation'
or some truths shoved down your throat
with no regrets
that launches the world into a dizzy subtle hate
that pecks the reality of peasants
wearing his masters shoes

And your fate is choked and weighed down
and the world keeps pounding, hating, drowning your existence
cause there's no love or Justice
when you're a filth with no worth  

Your master believes
submission is your natural state
cause your ancestors taught you
why would an ant  quarrel with a boot?

Here you are
afraid to have dreams and hope
crying for your progenies impending peril
and there's no knight or a hero in sight
