The optimist's creed
Drunk poet Jul 2017
Fate has choked on us
Our life driven by wind on monstrous sea
Conquered by our friendly foes
Invoking death and tears accompanied with plague
On our fatherland
.
Tonight, we bury our deads
For the they have joined our ancestors
Let us dress up our wounds for our visit
To the ancestors has been postponed
Let us sharpen our blades and smoothen our spears
For this is just our prologue
.
May fear not be the guest
But the gods in their very best
As we sit round the fireside,
May the gods ignite the fire inside
Sing! For this is the last dirge our lips would sing
Lay the young ones to sleep and sing them sweet lullabies
That they  may take shield in their tender dream
.
We fight back
Like Herculean with strength on
We write fate with ink on the clouds
Commanding death on our foes like rain on pastures
No one tell our story like us!

When night comes
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The sun has been put to rest,
He must have be tired after a long hectic day,
He has gone to sleep, to his wife,
So darkness begins to crawl on the
Surface of the earth.

The birds too return to their nests,
Singing for their young ones,
The songs replace the debilitated bones
But the evil ones say behind,
To harm their their prey.

Fireflies show their beauty,
Their light illuminates my path,
Overcoming my lover’s, Lucy.

Fireworks in the sky,
Celebrating a fair departure.

The moon made it easier and
Stars made it comprehendable,
But the night came too soon,
I never had the chance to bade Lucy
Farewell!
Can’t sleep at the same moment.

The night came too soon,
I never had the chance to tell
Mother I would be coming,
I hate I did not tell my daughter I
Would be leaving.

So I woke up right before a gate,
Something told me this must be the gate
Men speak of,
I tried to knock like a common gentleman,
But it opened and my name was mentioned,
Then I heared “come in son”.
Live like no one else,
A life you would remember!

Solid thoughts
Drunk poet Jul 2017
My feet move me
Like a sailor determining the
Fate of a ship
Kilometers I move, away from my hut's threshold
Where I battle in thoughtless thoghts
.
Solid thoughts,
Roaming on my mind like hawkers
On the streets of Lagos
I felt the tears of the cloud
Drenching me with knowledge on
My only piece of "ankara"
.
Where would fate lead me?
For I fear it's forces may ******* into
The forest of unfulfilled dreams
Will I end up like my fathers?
Who had many wives with shorten lives
Ha! I need the compass of life
.
Let me excrete myself on the platform
Of golds not of the gods
Not reality in an invidious thoughts
Yes, I decide my fate!
Not the gods, reality or some stupid thoughts!

Blah blah blah
Drunk poet Apr 2017
They said my grandfather had seven wives,
So came the story of their predated lives,
Their troubles and pains led to his ornamental hunch back,
Resulting to his death from an heart attack,
... Blah blah blah.
.
They called my father an oaf,
Poor him! He couldn't afford a loaf,
His destiny was surrounded by black birds our village,
He only hoped and hoped till his black bears became grey across his age.
He barely paid half of my mother's dowry,
And hardly had himself to father me,
... Blah blah blah
.
But this time I chose my path,
I drew my line,
I followed my mind,
To a radiant, like Venus raising from a foam-flecked sea.
With you I want to see years go by,
To you I will sing sweet lullaby,
Only you I would love or go blind
... Blah blah blah.

Speak man, speak up

Tell me why art dou cruel?

Protects me from my worst behavior
Said he improve my thoughts
He challenges my gallantry!
Fears gives me  bravery!

Death
Drunk poet Jan 2017
Death

The ominous wind

That blows from the north

Collector of women's wrapper

Exposing their dangling breast

To tears

.

Death

The mythic Eagle

That hovers in the sky

Abnegator of mother's cries

Scaring off children like “ojuju”

In the dark

.

Death

The shadowed beast

Giver of tears

Lurking in the dark

Laying ambush for innocent souls

.

Death

A blessing to the old

A cause to the young

Messager of light

Servant of the dark

He hunts at night!

Feasts by the day

A bite after satisfaction
Drunk poet Dec 2016
The man I met on my journey
Around the the world
His Shadow at every corner
A voracious being, dexterous with his teeth
His ears only obey the demand of his belly
Mouth litterd with unchewed crumbs
From previous meals
.
A sluggard gait he had
Plumpy and grumpy
Each meal jumping in ready anticipation
A heavy-handed aspiration for his unsatisfied hole
.
"I won't choke"  He stereotyped
I must have it all! I will have it all
Man and his vain aspiration
Only for the profit of the mouth

An ode to imperfection
Drunk poet Dec 2017
Sometimes I beat myself up in your glory,
And sometimes my tears flow like river Nile in your honor.
Your wonders on me are misery and dolor,
And starting over is your judgment.

I know failure is a tool in your hands,
And pain is your mercy.
You are a warlock, who conquers hearts and lands
A general you are, that breaks one in pieces.

You are a pause in success,
And disappointment is your surname.
A predator that preys on even lions,
And auguish is your mercy.

But I know you a soldier that matches me on
Keeps me alive to push harder and harder,
Makes me go further and further,
To struggle, until success is my slave.

Liquid songs
Drunk poet Jul 2016
The bell from that church makes me sneer
Barks of those dogs makes remind me of something
Schoolboys arguments thought me something
Concerto from the piano that sleep on the sofa makes me feel lost
The piper's pipe I think of
As these new songs writes my name on the breeze the blows
Reminds me of colourful moments
It reminds me what I am!
Drunk poet Jan 2018
I've met maggots in my jar of salt
Boomerang they say
But quite interesting I found them
.
Like cattles, evil had roamed in my thoughts
Devil they called me
But really adventurous I found them
.
I had copulation with entangled women
With barriers on them, like mango trees embargoed by landlords
But more pleasurable they seemed
.
I tasted the venom of snakes
They touched my soul like an airplane
Because above all these,
one kind of death will surely **** a man.

Heartbreak
Drunk poet Jul 2016
It was an heartbreak,
It was like an earthquake,
That which I ponder on day after day,
No more smiling, no more play together in the hay.

My aim of loving turns nothing,
Our future turns dim,
My feelings turns dim,
But am still breathing.

I am sober,
Recapturing my past,
The withered flower,
Iron remains cast,
So pathetic,
That love did not last,
I love you that's why am emphatic.

Feelings that can't be measured,
You were the diamond I treasured,
Life without you is would be solitary,
For now, it doesn't change anything, feelings unnecessary.

Raw beauty
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Queen sheba  will rise,
Seeking you with pearls and Diamond,
Just like the wisdom  of Solomon.
Your beauty is the greatest phenomenon
That have ever cross the Horizons.

The beauty that blind can see,
This beauty can set free,
It makes that passer-by(sun) to
Stop.
It makes the fastest runner cease (wind)

Kings of the world lust after it,
The Princes want to have it,
The Queens of the world jealous it,
The princess of the world  envy it.

Beauty that boycott the law of gravity {old age}
The antidote for wrinkles,
An island for dimples.
Drunk poet Jun 2017
It seems like yesterday
When I crawled down from my mother's
Womb
Drenched in blood and covered with nakedness
Compelled to cry,to give smiles and laughter
That I may not run to my fathers' tomb
Love and warmness were the embodiment of my first breathe
.
Soon, am employed, to chase away goats
And fowls in the neighborhood
I recited poems and my lips sing songs
To the moon and the beautiful stars
I danced in rain and played in the hay
With flowers not rollercoaster
.
The thought of life being all about
Rainbows and unicorns cling to my mind
Failure must be the treasure that is hard
To find
But the sun laughed at my ignorance
Now,I heard a call!
Echoing in waves through my childhood
The call of the future itself
.
I climbed hills and Cross oceans
Wilderness and valleys hosted me
Lion and tigers I battled
In the forest of rare determination
Looking for the bed of roses
But still lingering in my dream
And for I fear I might be woken
Soon enough

Power of words
Drunk poet Jul 2016
Oh! Jack my good lad,
Know the good and the bad!
Remember the tale I told you,
When you meet the tale in you,
Remember HE!
Don't forget me!
When HE said "let there be"
He that created things,
He made me raise you in peace,
Even when things come to the worst!
But through his words "there was"
The egg that comes from your mouth!
Don't be afraid to spit it out!
God is the word,
And HE is your world!

In tale we remember you
Drunk poet Aug 2018
Aduke fear befell the sun
She knelt dreadfully before your succulent eyes
Fright encamped the stars
as ur beauty overshadowed their shines

The gods gazed down from their huts
To have a glimpse of your paradisaic beauty
Aduke mi, kings give their thrones away
Just to spend a half of second to witness your smile

Adukeeeeee, my dear old nation
Now children gather to listen to the tale of your beauty
As they catch warmth of fire
Made by wood from the forest you were buried
Drunk poet Feb 2018
Listen,
I wish to spill my thoughts on the papyrus of your heart
And to Crest my love on the skin of your emotions
I want you to be the dream I will never wake up from
And the only rain that will ever kiss my soil

Listen,
I wish to dive into the pool of your love
That I may be drown in your deepest emotions
I want you to crush me with the rock of your sympathy
And from your fountain of desires I wish to have a drink

Listen
I wish to have my heart beating in your hands
That my fingertips and ink will poetically publish our love story
And have men praise me for my heroic love stupidity

Listen,
Just like Romeo, I wish to be breathtakingly foolish enough
To die for you
Because I know love is a little slice of insanity.

Sabotage
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Somewhere between lost and totally lost,
There we became unconscious,
Indeed! Really lost,
Daunt like an evening shadow,
Then my breathe seemed shallow,

But, we poor men in our poverty,
Carried away with ample manifestos,
I objected to that saying,
Very naive like a girl in her puberty,
Who know only how to wash her toes,
On the contrary, she is dying,
So I strife,
Striving in our emaciated life.

Then just like a cow
Led to the abbatotior,
They ruin every sector,
But we were fools in mere ecstacy,
They made us believe colonization was necessary,
But it was a foul,
Now we beg leniency,
Unlike spendthrift of our currency.

Now we cry for antidote,(change)
Disregarding That oat,
But through what doors?
The west?
Perhaps East?
Probably the south?
Or from the graced North?
What doors?

That which no writing could criticized,
No satirical work could correct,
Indeed! The best materialized,
But speaking of the change, what earth?

But pray a calmed storm,
Even after our hypocrisy,
And false democracy,
When will the truth come,
All is well, the mother had told,
But I guess sometimes the truth is best left untold.

*Not today, not ever!*
Drunk poet Aug 2018
You are back?
Again with your perfumed lies like roses
To tell me you are wrong and probably sorry
To lick up my tears with your apologies
.
You are back
To pour me lies from the same lips I love to kiss
Again to pin me to the wall with your lovely punchlines
Reminding me of the world awaiting us
.
But today I will sit on this cushion
And watch you use your magic on me
I will wait for your lips to stop pouring out the lies
Then I will say "get out! "
.
      To her who conquered my heart with beautiful lies

To a lover downtown
Drunk poet Mar 2017
The memories of the shooting
Stars
Clinged to the wall of our souls
Putting out the old wounds and scars.
As we watched the sun set, embracing the soft air at twilight
Enjoying the tales of when we first met.
Pointing at the beautiful stars at night.
As we hoped for dreams to come chase us
After we've shuffled off this mortar veneer
.
Dearie, I see the dawn of pellucide in your eyes
The shining of pearls on your skin I remember.
Be well! My adeiu isn't forever
Maybe if am lucky I will end up
In your arms

...make it stop
Drunk poet Apr 2019
It's almost a decade now
But it seems like yesternight
Stone blind giving up his life for me
Deluged in the abyss forever
A part of me he took with him
Though gone,but I sense him
He seems so real,so evident
He is everywhere I think
My imaginations ****** up of him
Insanity getting better of me
I'm an embodiment of illusions
Powerless,my life shreds away
How will I make it stop?

pain, pain go away
Come again another day.
pain, pain go away
Let this agony fade away
Because my eyes has emptied the water in my body
My trangular life preaches pills, potion and coffee
Tell me, can you make it stop?
Like tattoo the scars wont stop from showing
And like Mississippi the tears won't stop flowing
How will I make it stop?

I'm swimming in my pool of tears
I can hear the reverberation of your voice, of how you cared
You gave me love, then you added pain and despair
I feel like tearing my heart into pieces to stop it from aching
I'm on fire, no amount of CO2 can quench
If there were a soothing balm, I'd rub my heart with it.
I want to heal.
How do I stop this misery?
How do I make it all history?
How do I make it stop?

Drunk poet Jul 2016
The clouds were covered with darkness,
The thunder strikes hard with no kindness,
There comes a great lightning,
People said it was made so by God almighty,

It strikes hard like a renew sword,
I wish I could stop it with my with my words,
Fear encamped me on my bed made of muds,
I was a stick and couldn't move,

It sounds so awful like an empty drum,
It was horrible affecting my ear drum,
It rained like the the time of Noah,
We wish we won't hope for more.

I finally took my linen that is almost torn,
We became friends on the floor,
The I realize that is almost late,
That day was superb and great.

TRAIL OF OUR AGED BONES
Drunk poet May 2017
Let me have a bite
Beside the shaped ancient teeth
From the mythic kola
Where only wisdom dwells.
.
Let me have a smoke
From the ancient pipe
Pulled out from aged toothless mouth
That smells our untainted heritage.
.
Let me have a sip
From the curved horns and cultured Calabash
Filled up with ale and undiluted palm wine
To intoxicate me with our heritage.
.
Let me have  a seat
Amongst the white beard heads
To play the "local game" with stones
So that I may be taught the bounds in my thoughts from
From aged bloods that flows like euphrates into the garden of our motherland.
.
Let us have some music
Sang with dry lips that echoes from soundless cave
Infuriated with flutes, gongs and talking drums
That we may dance-off our ignorance
To see the chain left by our ancestors to be drawn.

Drunk poet Jul 2016
Dear mother,
I hope you are reading this letter,
I hope it met you in joy,
I would I have tell these,
But I was too coy.

For all the time that you
Made me feel strong,
Even I when angrily broke your
Favourite mug.

Mother,
Many things you faced
Because of me,
So that in the aftermath
I shall be free.

Mother I remember,
Usually during December,
Making efforts to get me the best,
Mama would never rest.

Dear mother,
You seems to always protect my interest,
Interest around father,
We all wanted the best.

You once asked me
To be a good lad,
And not to keep company with
Boys you told were bad!
Mother will never starve me.

Do you remember when you lock
Me indoors?
Compelling me to have no flaws.

Mother would cover me during thunderstorm,
Kissing me and seal my sleep,
Covering my legs against every storm.

Thank you for piloting me,
To life and to a good life,
Mama pray I have good wife,
Not neglecting things you gave thought me

If tomorrow never breaks
Drunk poet Jul 2016
If tomorrow never breaks,
If the sun protest to shine,
And **** at your backyard
Cease To crow,
If the clock stop ticking,
And if mother will not wake you.

It the future seems to be delayed,
If goodness never beckons,
If the couch is empty,
No more for morning prayers.

Left alone the dark,
Not afraid of the dark,
Rather being alone in the dark.

The future seems dark and hold nothing,
Then you pray it should be a nightmare,
Plead to somone to wake you.

But tomorrow is  coming,
Sun will shine,
Mother's **** with crow,
The clock will tick,
And trust me mother will wake you,
No one can thwart it
Because the past is the key to the future.

They both play the villain,

That they both fathom,

They see each other flaws,
He engage more in thinking,
How would she be impressed?
Who will be the hero?
Am I love with a poetess!

There was a man blown in by the east wind
He was never late for a feast
His liquor always at his heartbeat

He walks clumsily like the wizard of the West
His clothes filled with holes in their

He sought comfort but hunger precedes him
His hope is charmed with the light Of the sun
He dreamt  of chasing the sky into the ocean
He has no friend to lean on
Alas! He would put a smile on
.
But his soul chirps like a cricket
A complete waste his life has been like water in a basket!
So he died! Who is to be blame?
Oh! It's such a shame!
Only that his laziness was too phat and lame

When testimonies are left out,
And you sing in distress,
Your hope and fate worn out,
With a sarcastic smile around folks,
Your worries like a cloud of smokes,
You wanted to touch the best.

Thick drop of rain from your eyes,
As your happiness dies,
Eyeballs dancing in moisture field,
Your soul in distress where she hid.

Thick drop of rain in your eyes,
Oozed out due to sympathizes,
Then you Think nature has turn against you,
The world too big for you,
Or perhaps only when the sky is blue,
Who is that pilot? your pilot, you don’t know who.

The rays and beams of the sun seems unfriendly,
Smiles on other folks seems deadly,
The world is too complicated for you.

After your tears on hard to rocks,
Your cries and your sober reflection,
The Sowers grain fell on my Palms,
You claimed blessings, even psalms,
Where is your opportunity,
Are you not a liability?

You pray for a better chance,
Cause He once path way in the sea,
And yours? Or can’t you see?
You shall have that breakthrough,
And you shall dance!

Lessons from my father

Father was an acumen,
The doublefold of Solomon's wisdom
Resides in his words

Father and his sarcastic smile,
Hardly seen through his coughs
When pulling out his pipe from his mouth
.
"my son"  He said frantically
As he chuckles through his wrinkles
Look at me!  What do you see?
I stammered, I chuckled, became confused
.
Life is a puzzle! He muttered as His mouth
Reached out for is pipe again
Asking me to pour him more of mama sodiq's Palm-wine
Strength and might are weak to solve this puzzle!
But great wisdom is stronger! He said
Grow up son! Grow up!!

Dead, even to the sensitivity of nature
His presence was patched with uncertain aura
Epilepsy at a time, later turmoil in saturation

And his beguiled compliments on my velvet lips
His reckless talks of treating me like a queen
And the dexterous hold my hips

His hands could bear witness that night
As my breath shuffled away
"be gentle! " and for your own good, "be quite! "
He did it like he had been born for it
... And my silent groans and moans died unheard

Now I only forward to my friend karma
But shhhhhhhh

That which I can not qualify,
Away and beyond all because of her.

She is an epitome of beauty,
A very good source of writing in literature,
That which could face reality,
Adorable, even to the immature.

I had a clear chance, so I moved close,
And the more fascinating,
It was unhatched egg, my heart being enclose,
Her smile very charming,

My heart now skips to beat,
My eye couldn’t see,
I couldn’t move my feet,
Cause her eye has blinded mine

I know you wield the beauty of flowers
And sweet scent of roses you emit.
Yes, you dwell in a city called love,
In a region we call emotion
... But please tell me, who are you?

Your eulogy has no end,
And your praises know no limits.
For your "ode" is someone else's "elegy".
Sometimes you bring tears, sometimes smiles
... But please tell me, who are you?

When will you visit me?
At my dusk or my dawn?
Today or tomorrow?
No need be, I beg of you
For my eyes are unworthy to behold your beauty
... But please tell me, who are you?

She replied me and said
I  wield the Beauty of  black roses
The madness in hearts of men I am
I  wear prettiness, but a monster I am!
And tears is my signature!
For I am pain!

That echoes vehemently through
The dept of my solemn soul
The call, of which I must answer
O crier! Bearer of the voice of the ancient ones
Calling unto me, to come have a seat amongst the ancestors.

I fear that I might be gone
Too soon to give thee my " adieu "
I fear that you might be the hands to wash me in my death
I fear I might be gone!
Far gone to share in your "kola" and "palm wine"
Oh! I fear that My lands,barns,wives and Concubines would fall in your hands after my Exit from this naked world.
.
But I would smile
When my soul gazes down
Seeing myself in the round circles
Of your unending presence
I would dance to sweet dirges from you lips
I would smile when your heads shake for me
My cheeks enchanted with laughter in the tale
Of your ignorance.

For now, I decide your fate
Of your dreams I now have a tale
Your voices,I a carrier
The ancestors seat now my dwelling.

Only through memories
.
It was not far before long
When our stares would meet all night long
Your little smiles I would see, when my lips
Sing you a beautiful song
.
It was really brief before far
Together at the right side of our sofa
Sharing dreams of being called Mama and Papa
And our love be of this dream's ladder
.
It was not far before now
When our love began to go down
Like a stormy rain that receives a peaceful
Calm
It went puff like the smoke of tobacco
From the tender balm of our palm
.
It won't be soon after a long while
When salty rain from my eyes will follow this Last line
I see you only through memories, as days begot day
And it comes and go like menstrual pain

Sister Mary's necklace
Drunk poet Sep 2017
I have been caught by her beautiful beauty
Like a fish in the neck
My heart becomes a mortar and her eyes a pistol whenever I gaze around her neck.
Sister Mary's necklace
Whose ornament of trinket captured my timid eyes
Causing my lips to make soundless sighs of grasping twice
Whose ornament rolls in a valley subdued between two mountains
Or perhaps towers of grace
.
Forgive me father, if my description of her turn you on
Maybe I read too much of the songs of Solomon
Only heavens knows the treasures that lies in the
secret Place beneath her habit
Her  smiles I love, plus her caring habit
Her gentle gaze caused my mind to race
Into an unknown land I can not trace
Causing hands movement into the darkest of places
Even in the presence of solemn praises
.
Oh sister Mary, how can I describe your tender embrace?
Warmer than a cathigan made of fur
But too rapid like the space in between my pace
Your celestical dove on the chest I first admired,
When I was four and all I remember was that
My heart became dim and somehow blur
It caused my the meshing of our souls in circles
.
Sister Mary
Who makes me scream "holy Mary mother of our savior"
For the thought of her savors my tender sins
For her body I see, even I my dreams
For  here I am at the confessional,
Forgive me father  for it has been a day since my last confession
Yet, it feels like a century

A city called home
Drunk poet Jul 2017
It's been over two decades
Since I was evicted from my mother's womb
Naked I was, like the world herself
Clothed with tragedy and couples of disdemeanor
.
I become one of the grasses
On which two elephants vindicated
Suffering from the friendly smile of the sunlight
And the  fair hospitality of the wretched moonlight
.
Then my thoughts sat me down
I know about poor luxuries downtown
And big fishes now drowning in Mississippi
Hmmm.... Vague world with little clarity!
.
But news came to me
Like hurdles and puzzles of past years
A place beyond the moon and the stars
Where I will **** from golden *******
And listen to tales from the  mouth of "countless kola"

Altered altar
Drunk poet Sep 2018
. ... again tonight?
Just like other thousands of faded nights
Against the floor or the wall at the view of tender eyes
Well, maybe to the bed if am so lucky In silence darkness, dead!, literally
.
Then I'd moan at your every breath To avoid another bruise with colored artwork
You'd kiss me with your alcoholic soaked lips
While my eyes stay dead open
.
Tracing the mole on my body Or the mole on my scar?
My soul curses the youthful exuberance that made you my nightmare
.

Reign of insanity
Drunk poet Aug 2017
My people,
Deprive not your eyes of it's sight
That we see the flames, dancing on our huts
Like a stripper in a club night
For here we are, bleeding without a cut
.
Listen people!
That we may ear the roaring laugter
Of the big boys at our own handed damnation
For the shame is sweet and our tongue compromised
We are pathetic, yet, we call ourselves a nation
.
My people,
The seed we planted, has grown branches
The calamity we dreamt of has stopped by, to say "hello"
Corruption and his brothers seem to have come to stay
The big ones laugter grows more as we fight this flame with fire
.
Sons of a shoemaker,
Walking barefooted in the woods
May Heavens come to our rescue,
For our shadows has come to hunt us
And our herbalist has no clue how to make the  concoction to heal our insanity.

No place for my dream
Drunk poet May 2018
I've been gifted with the curse to wield a black skin
In a society where dreams metamorphosize to nightmares
Boarding a taxi of unfulfilled dreams
Dancing around the edge of a razer blade

Misery and pain kiss my dreams
As they all queue to take turns on me like humans on ATM
Hope disappears like **** in a fan firm
And my head is stuck between the pace of my legs

Achievementphobia strikes like cholera
And anguish jets on souls like ebola
With millions of dead dreams and thousands hospitalized

Today I will pack my Shattered dream
And move on with the littlest crumbs of hope in me
To journey through valleys, mountains and ocean
That I may find a place for my dream somewhere

That night
Drunk poet Jul 2016
With your charming smile on,
In that gown hung there,
Lovemonger’s work done,
hatred made mere.

That day, full of beauty,
Ceremony and ovations,
For your pride and dignity,
And I was full with emotion.

You enamored with me,
And I with thee,
Head over heels,
You understood how I felt and feels.

With ecstasy dark cloud,
Beneath the pouring rain,
And farewell to be made a woman,
Without duress or pain,
Forever my woman and I thy man

Do you remember?
Drunk poet Jul 2016
When I couldn’t help Stalking you,
On that narrow path that leads to the stream,
Full of dry leaves that your feet would rustle them,
Do you remember?
Sure you must have forgotten,
When we ran into each other,
You poured the grind tomatoes on
On my linen,
I nearly broke my mama’s jar,
Then you smiled.

The well at the backyard of your mom’s
House made it easier,
Always seems to be a date,
Do you remember our first hug?
We were both nervous,

The time I helped you with your backpack,
Leaving a trail of good tidings,
Do you remember the series and
Collection of poems?
I mean the romantic ones,
Like the one I wrote you last night,
When the candles went off?
Do you still remember the last stanza?
Using the vocals I learnt from my
Favourite English teacher,
They weren’t left out in my scheme of love,

Do you still remember?
Your sister, she hated me,
She even pour water on me,
From that bowl over there.

Now do you remember why am
Remembering you?
Because you told me my
Fishermen was unlucky,
Unlucky enough to catch you,
Today am placing your head drink,
On your papa’s table.

Sabotage(2}
Drunk poet Oct 2016
Like a flight of thousands,
Innocents in their innocence,
Through seas and lands,
By our our hands we made them
Pilot.
Conscious and sane,
Whey flew us with hidden plot,
The sky speak to us.

The whom we trust,
Called to serve us,
They made us carry their cross.

Like fortress with self-destruct,
And when it goes, they never go down
With it,
They, they are corrupt!
Channel golds and pearls beneath.

They sabotage our economy,
Made us peasant,
They sabotage you and me!
They want every pleasant.

Unfaithful masters,
I charge of faithful servants,
With their bad characters.

Looting things for their unborn generations,
The have no heart,
Booting our generations,
But will they say after earth?

Father!
My daughter called,
When shall be free?
When will we eat on the
Dining table

Another sad love story
Drunk poet Dec 2017
ANOTHER SAD LOVE STORY
.
Let me tell you a tragic romantic tale
I won't bore you with Shakespeares
Not with Othello's tragic flaw
Nor with Romeo and Juliet's melodramatic flairs
And definitely not with the stupid love adventure of Prince of Tyre.
.
Let me tell you another sad story
Not Jack's hypothermic death in Titanic
Nor about my beloved Lucy whom I lost to the shadows of time
I won't make you snore with these
.
Love has lost her value with us
As she sits on the couch of poetry
I watch her sob, soaked in her own very tears
Because we have forgotten what she  means.
Yes, we no longer know the meaning of love
... And this is the sad love story

Treason
Drunk poet Aug 2016
The pathetic woman,
Miserable than a clumsy man,
A widow far as I can reckon,
To her goodness never beckon,
She's without ecstasy,
Her dream turn out to be mere fantasy,
She lost her honor,
Overwhelmed with dolor.

So she seeks several sources and Lords with her heart,
She knew them not, never! Not on earth,
They made her believe all was necessary,
With lots of loads to carry.

She became a congregation,
Sitting helplessly without motion,
As she sobs and sobs with all her mind,
And cry and cry with all the ability she could find.

The church re-echo her petition,
Like a church favorite hymn,
All this seem like a kind of mimickery,
A real hymn,
Her blessings with a lot of imagery.

When my feet moved toward her,
She looks around from her chair,
She must be a widow,
And I was her husband’s shadow,
She seems barren,
Alas! Her son were caged like n hen,

Her husband alleged of treason,
And killed for that reason,
She now left with a hope,
He wish he could at least whisper “cheer up”
She needs a refined hope,
As she will one day drink from my cup.

World War III
Drunk poet Jul 2016
I found the àrókò,
Somewhere around someplace,
Of many weapons.

This must be war,
Could this be Armageddon?
Obviously without surprises,
After the one in the “45”,
This must be the world War three,

I saw nations
Each with her own objects,
Testing like sumptuous meal

Many alliances,
Could this be Armageddon?
Over there must be antichrist,
Is that the sun moving down?

Up there must be the Savior,
Learnt he died on the cross,
Could this be Armageddon?

Could be the chained dragon?
I heard he was let loose,
Let loose from the abyss,

Who are those two?
Look like elijah and moses,
Aren’t they turning their backs?
The Constitution and ruler,

Behind you!
Is that not the two edged sword?
I hope is not facing you and I,

Is that not the beautiful gate,
Are you willing to take the risk?
Do u wish to see the other side of the gate?
Hang on, you must wait,

Aren’t those the elder?
They must have been really old,
Beneath me the flames?
I heard it burns with sulphur,
Am I really talking to you?
Nations will perish,
The world War three!

My country, an harlot
Drunk poet Jan 2018
I saw her head graciously sitting on a spike
And her blood meandered through the edge of a pike
.
Her whole parts divided into a lesser whole
The rain of truth pummeled and pull out her pole
.
An ingrate who has no regards for the gift of the gods
For the ******* and well structured buttock without odds
To produce a great nation
.
But she lust  after the beauty of corruption
And slept with cultures of other nations

Alone with everybody
Drunk poet Aug 2016
I seemed to have been a curse
on  this world
For sometimes now, my soul has laid
In darkness
No hope of seeing the light
Even the sun has a hint of Devil in her
I could hear whispers, barely void!
Will this agony ever end?
Hatred did grow, day and night
And I watered it with my tears
I came face to face with my fears
My foes beheld and shine
Am alone friend, and the agony seems
Never ending.

Shadow
Drunk poet Dec 2016
Shadow
The mythic spirit
Lurking behind every unconscious soul
The dangerous confussionist
Giving various attributes to geniue personalities
.
Shadow
The numinous spirit
Darkest shape of every man's glory
Handler of the two edged sword
That pierces into the light
.
Shadow
The enigmatic spirit
Collector of the mischievous souls
Greatest villain and lover of light
Killer of dreams and visions
.
Shadow
The arcane spirit
The faceless being
Prince of deception
That gives us nothing but a vague life
.
Shadow
The cryptic spirit
Clothed with darkness
Brought to light by its brightness
Master of one's darkest self
The beast in all spirits
.
Shadow
my muted companion
My secret tormentor
My faceless self
Drunk poet Aug 2017
Arise, O ye unworthy sons
Conceived in the belly of an harmless zebra
Raised by fathers of gutless mind
Who dug our Graves with golds
Gotten from their unquenching cravings for dusted
Fantasy of our shoveled dreams
.
They battled with the ones in white skin
"heroes" they were called, cause they fought
In one anchor
The sang of songs from the lips like birds
Defending their territory, lyriced freedom.
.
But the corpse of shame litters our gaze
The injured hearts with withered hope of greatness
Bleed our progress
So we weep  heavily in saddened outburst
Cause we failed and our blood has turned black
For we "unworthy sons" they begot
.
The black bird of woes cries in a desolate
Place
For even the bones mourn us for their odds
We are!
Of what now be their heroic deeds?
Of what scores now be their victory?
For we search apprecia-fun,
When our little knowledge is torn.
