THE DECEIVER
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
He manipulate his friends
and eliminate his enemies by
his cunning craftiness.
And he thinks he has won.
He cries wolf before he falls.
There's a mountain between us,
and he can never be like you
for he is darned.
He is not worthy of your friendship.
He belongs to the circle
of the dreaded assassins,
head of the herdsmen,
their creed is deep,
terrible and terrifying indeed.
Fear the one that is horribly terrifying
for he is after your life.
How does this whole thing landed
within you and what shifted as a result.
Run for your life,
he will not have mercy.
Wickedness is wrought in him.
The gull of bitterness and
hatred surrounds him.
He will be consumed by the same
fire he has set.
There's no freedom for the
one who enslaves anyone,
his weakness is made manifest
for he is a coward.
Professing to hate corruption,
he fights it with a slack hand,
and a lying tongue,
a deceiver not to be trusted.
He eats corruption as a bread of sorrow.
Woven around him as a spiders web,
he seeks destruction for the naive
as well as the elite.
The one who cannot publicly address you
but only through another to get
his messages across to those
he proclaimed to rule,
hiding behind the iron curtain,
surrounded by deadly killers.
Never will he rule again even as a
weakling that he is.
He will woefully fail as always,
for he is not knowledgeable and
has no good plans for you.
Wished he's smart enough to see
how dumb he is.

APOPTOSIS
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
Our nation is
a living organism.
Alive with biochemical
pulsating cells.
Apoptosis,
a cell death
of our nation
are set and
already unwittingly
programmed.
Takes a
multicellular effect
if not checked.
Cell changes and
death is eminent.
Changes includes
blebbing,
cell shrinkage,
nuclear fragmentation,
chromatin condensation,
chromosomal
DNA fragmentation,
and global mRNA.
Apoptosis ,
a falling off occurs.
Our nation is
threatened and going
through same
process as above.
Our acts must
be put together.
There is a
suffocating,
crippling misery,
and destitution.
We are desperately
sliding both into
chaos and despondency.
We must get
out of this
cloud of frustration,
with a profound
physical presence of
sour people grieving
daily,
Don't let them
become too rotten
to infect everyone.
It may be
contagious.
All ships must
sail in one direction,
Or very soon
we all go down.

GUARD YOUR HEART
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Jealously guard your heart
from the troublesome tempest.
Preserve your heart for the
good of your soul.
Your body is the only temporary
house that you ever have.
For your own good nurture
and protect both the heart and
the body from any form of abuse
from those who don't value you.
Carry yourself with dignity and respect.
Never allow anyone else or anything
inconsequential to get the better of you.
Come from a place of power to
handle your daily affairs and activities.
For in dealing with lots of individuals
you encounter many different types
of people with all kinds of demeanor
and characters.
Some will stretch your nerves,
most will test your patience and others
will want to prove your mental strength,
while majority will bring out your vulnerability.
Stand firm in your beliefs and convictions,
but listen with the ears of your heart and
know when to let understanding and
compassion play it's part in the role
you are called to partake.
Be a fair player at all times and you
will find there's nothing you cannot achieve with love.

Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
You are full of it
when what you plan
to do did not include
other people's interest.
Are you playing with
yourself all alone,
when all you needed
was just lovely friends
who will gladden your
world with their lives.
These loving friends are
actually the flowers in
the garden of our lives,
they decorate our lives
with beauty and adorn it
with fragrance of their
loving smiles,
bringing to us that free gifts
of love and friendship.
Their presence is more than
a balm of Gilead.
A true friend is like a rose
and a beautiful flower in
the vase of our lives worthy
to be nurtured and watered daily.
We need each others touch to
survive and thrive.
Love is about inclusion,
doing and acting out our lives,
and letting others into our world.
Even though some might be a
pain in the ***,
still you can't do without them,
they make up the textures
of our lives.
We need all of them both the
positive and the negative,
they help bring us to a better place.
Unwittingly helping in an
uncanny way to learn about
love and forgiveness,
accommodating and acceptance,
patience and endurance,
Wellness and healing.
They bring pleasure and delight into our world.
How I wish we could be good loving friends.

THE HEART FORGIVEN
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
The Angels surrounds
the heart of the one
whose heart is broken.
No one can feel
or see the pain in your
heart but only you.
It is hidden away from
the mortal eyes.
Only your essence and
feelings can reach out to
the one whose heart is
disturbed and confused.
No one can touch or
understand how you feel,
except through the power
of love that heals and forgives.
The spoken words of love
are understood by the heart
that is so touched by the
spirit of counsel and
of love and forgiveness.
Only it's breath can cause the
heart to flutter to feel the warmth
of the bliss it exudes.
Can anything be as sweet and
lovely than a forgiven heart of
a wounded soul who has regained
freedom from the nightmares of the
tormented life conquered.
A sureness of a soul set free is glorious.
That is the impression of what the heart
desires for a free spirit unhurt by
unfortunate circumstances.

NOT MY PASSION
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
I'm so broken by this gory sight.
Children smashed on the wall by adults,
who I'm sure are also fathers of children,
all because of religious sentiments.
Is it related to religious and ethnic cleansing,
I cannot say and do not know exactly,
but whichever one it is,
it is actually not allowed and,
you have no moral justification to **** a child
or anyone at all for the sake of religion.
Whatever reason any religion
have in order to **** so I can be
converted into believing in your God is totally
and completely out of place.
So wrong in all its ramifications.
There's no law or reason for you to be
forceful  in winning my love for your God.
You messed with my faith which is my strength.
You took away my dignity and my pride,
my culture,my tradition and my language.
My whole life fizzled out because of you,
I can't remember my past
because you changed my name.
Your religion becomes my pain,
and not my passion.
Forced to be a follower not of my will.
That is not who I was but who you
want me to become not of my choice.
You want to take my history,my identity
and my humanity with violence.
Let me hasten to tell you something
you probably don't know,
as long as God is on the throne,
that will never happen.

I CELEBRATE YOU
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2018
To a love that will never die,
a love to be desired always,
my friendly lover and
my most loveliest friend,
my darling dear.
I celebrate you
and all that you are today.
You are a beautiful soul.
The best gift life can
ever give to me.
There's nothing I want more,
than to be with someone like you.
Spending my life time
with you is my desire
for you are my world.
Because of you,
heaven is within reach.
Your heart is where
the angels gathers,
for bliss is there.
Your smile is sunshine
to my world,
it revives and gives new life
and meaning to my being.
Your touch heals even
the most painful hurts,
the hardness of heart
your love softened,
and the pain melts away.
Pleasurable are your words.
You are impossible to resist.
Immaculately beautiful,
with exquisite behavior,
you have an instinct for the
right and wrong things to say.
Never heard you make a faux pas.
Your care nurtures the
weak and afflicted back to life.
You are a virtuous woman,
not tired of the pesky ways
of people around you,
you endured their unruly manners,
with your generosity and kindness
you win the hearts of the irracible ones.
You made the best of each moment.
Everything and all the ***** chores
seems so easy to handle.
Because you are here,
your presence is comforting.
Thank you for letting me win your heart,
I'm so grateful for all that you are.

THE WHISPERS
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2019
The whispers of
a lonely old man
heart rending words,
muttering,
sitting all alone
in the dark.
The small room
lighted only by
flicker of a
dim lampshade
on an old
soiled worn out
side table,
with a few
old books,
a writing pad
and a pencil.
His only companion
a parrot chatting
as if to
tell him to
speak louder.
A deafening silence
overshadowed by the
weariness of the
dark quiet room
made it a
bit scary.
The old man
nurtured with cereal
made by an
old dumb maid
living next door.
Loneliness had almost
consumed him,
except for the
sparkle in his
deep sunken
dark sad eyes.
His wrinkled face
full of wisdom,
smiling softly so
subtly as if
he had no care
in the world
at all,
but the secrets
of the sages
within him.
Such is the
heart God dwells.

SAND OF OUR ANCESTRAL LAND
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Just looking for
words to describe
how this strange
evidence is made
because I'm baffled
by the way the whole
burden of it has been.
An ultimatum was
given to catch the
monsters that created
the ruse.
You will have enormous
power of life.
Immortality will be yours.
Invincibility accompanies you.
What you have seen is what
lies within and beyond
the veil of death,
but life eternal is in you.
Bring back the chosen
to make our lives right.
Sand of our ancient
ancestral land,
come to our rescue
and free your people from
this *******.
Wind of the spirit divine
engulf our being and
saturate it with your life.
Heaven,release us from this yoke.
Earth,tremble and swallow
them so I can have life over death.
Water,purify and cleanse us.
With this sacrifice you
shall become a god.
Whatever life remains,
you are still a man.

GIFT OF LOVE
Emeka Mokeme May 2019
She gathered
the common but
beautiful flowers from
the garden,
the road sides
and the backyard
to decorate the table.
With so much
love in her heart,
she sang the
song of pure love.
The newly blooming
camellia are large
and bright red.
So much beautiful
with the roses
growing by the side
making it extremely
quite unique and
so exquisite reminding
you of the
alluring flow and
beauty of the
symphony orchestra.
With a gift
of beautiful fragrance
to the senses,
the nostrils
adorned with
love for the
heart to rejoice
and resonate in
remembrance.
It is quite
a breathtaking feeling
that puts a smile
on the face.
It is just a
gift of love
from a beautiful soul
with a lovely heart.

MOLDED BY LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
The fastest way to feel
or get hurt is through
the path of love,
though it is not threatening,
it only beckons the worthy ones.
It is a joy-pain road to the
miraculous and the mysterious.
The unknown forces of
the spirit divine is hidden within it.
Though fearful,
it is still safe and secure,
with the ability to heal
anything it touches.
Full of bliss and joyful tenderness,
intriguing and captivating.
It is a rock of offense,
if it hits you,
you just gotta fall,
and be in love,
it crushes and squeezes you,
so you can give all,
and when you fall on it,
you crash and fall in love.
I know the way to eldorado,
I know the way to Ionano,
I know the way to your soul,
Yes I know,
Believe me I know.
It is only through a heart
full of love,
a heart molded by love,  
a heart that can love again,
even when bruised
and broken by love.
A heart that can find love
in the unlovable places.
The heart that can forgive
the hurts however deep.
A heart that can pass
through the narrow gate.
The one that can believe
it can do the impossible.
The one who sees with
the eyes of God,
for God dwells in such heart.
Such a beautiful heart knows
the unexplainable mysteries of the
invisible road to the abode of love,
full of lovely memories,
memories that never want to let you go,
a little hug, a little kiss, and little gifts
are all a little something
that makes me want to cry,
wishing it would last forever.
Honor such a heart and soul
that can love you anyway.
Such heart has truly found God
for God is love.

THE NEXT LEVEL
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
Whosoever will
come with you
to the next
level must be
fully persuaded
and prepared
to confront death.
You must
weather the storm,
confront the cyclone,
survive the tsunami,
beat the wild wind
and the tempest,
the holocaust will
mean nothing to you.
Even the catastrophic
Armageddon will
be a child's play.
You have to
be strong hearted
to walk through it
the second time.
Hades will be
waiting for you.
The first time
is a happenstance,
the second one
is a coincidence,
and the third is
the enemy's action.
Don't be deceived.
Refuse to be used.
We have become
the laughing stock,
the hyena is
moving in our
midst stalking you.
Hunger among the
people ravaging
everyone.
The punisher said,
follow me to
the next level.
You better run
for the thunderstorm.  
The final destructive
level of our destiny
is coming with
brutal force.  
The latter will
be worse than
the former.
How can that be.
Which level.
The final level
of destination
to hang you.
Can the living dead
move to the
next level.
This wickedness
has to stop.
Change is in
your hands.
If you know,
you know.
I can't go
with you to
that next level.
The mason has
measured the final
level and i choose
to follow the
path of my destiny.

SHOW ME
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
We are all strangers
here and must band
together for survival
in this bizarre maze
of a place where
deadly surprises lurk
around every corner.
Surveillance is mounted
to track everyone who
tried to escape
from the pack.
All these seeds of
discord and attacks
against each other
and people of other
faith is very disturbing.
It is really very
discouraging to know
that you have nothing
tangible to offer me
in particular about your
beliefs so I can
believe in your notions.
Your approach shows me
there's nothing in it
but hatred,
my heart and soul has
no place to harbor
or condone hatred.
Show me the beauty of
your heart so I can be
attracted to its light.
A happy soul has a good
and beautiful heart devoid
of anything evil.
Pure in itself with divine
effulgence that touch and
change lives with love.

PYTHON DANCE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2017
The python crawling
and winding through the land,
decimating,annihilating
and choking lives
out of our youths,
there's fear in the land,
stench smell of blood
from the calamity spreads
through the land.
We must stand firm,
hold the line,resist them
and vehemently oppose them.
This monstrous tragedy
is dreadfully depressing.
weeping of our mothers
whose sons are taken
heard from afar.
There's no war but
there's war in the land.
Who is next to be taken.
This python dangerously
dancing it's way
among the people.
The young men bruised
and wounded by its venom.
Dance of this python scares
the little ones in the hinterland.
They attempt to break,
demonise, belittle,
vilify and wipe us out
through intimidation,
disinformation, mass ******  
and ethnic cleansing.
Can the elders magically
unleash the anaconda
to swallow up their python
just like Moses did to
his adversaries.

CHANGE MUST COME
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
Change the change,
the pupa became
the butterfly.
The cocoon became
the carcass.
Change must come.
Darkness must turn
into light.
The victor in battle
became the victim,
and the weak became
the dominant one.
Change is needful,
for the weak
and frail one rules
the mighty.
The elites and the
influential became dumb,
walking around
without directions like the
zombies.
They became like the robot,
a methodical machine
without a heart.
There must be change,
because the generality
of people are ignorant.
Change your acts and
priorities to allow
change take effect.
Change has arrived,
to mend the errors
of the ignorant ones.
This change must change
hands to restructure,
and restore.
It has come to rebuild
with your help.
Articulate and obediently be
useful to make it right.
Be the change you want.

I AM PECULIAR.

Yes,
you don't know me.
You just think that you do.
I am the mysterious one,
elusive and highly talented,
unassuming and modest,
a bit of a recluse,
an object of mingled awe
and revulsion,
simultaneously revered
and abhorred,
a misunderstood soul,
yet lovable.
I am the noble one,
with a beautiful Soul,
The one created in Gods image.
You just don't know me.
You think you do.
Your opinion of me
may be right
or my be wrong,
depending on the platform
you stand to view.
I am a healer,
a seer,
I am unique,
I am Special,
I am an enigma,
the Called,
the Justified,
Predestinated,
the odd fellow.
I am the Chosen One.
The one the Holy Spirit
is Pleased to dwell in.
I am a Prophet.
The joint-heir with Christ.
I am many things to different people.
And because I chose to be peaceful
doesn't mean I don't know how to fight.
I may have a gentle touch,
but I am not at all weak.
I am principled.
I respect you,
and I ask that you do too.
All I ever want is for you
to remember me as loving you.

To share with you this

But I know i can never enter,

For surely everything heals in time.

intricate words
of clear speech
and poetry.
Complex in nature,
convoluted and tangled,
complicated and twisted,
ravelled and ornate,
labyrinthine and winding,
maze-like and knotty,
serpentine and sinuous,
circuitous and detailed,
daedalian and involute,
mixed up and fiddly,
byzantine and Gordian
mind blowing words
that are arranged
in a delicate way,
to soothe and smooth,
correct and mend,
comfort and bring
solace to heal

These killers are
closer than your
breath and a terrible one,
very disturbing,
so devastating and is
dreadfully depressing.
Like the northern wind
coming down with fury,
this aggression is so scary
and terribly terrifying.
Looks like evil lives here.
Grave secrets hidden
for ages resurfaced to
haunt everyone.
How can you leave your
home land in their hands,
even the home land securities
can't guarantee your safety.
You may be afraid to be
left alone in that creepy
place with no one around.
But mercy is rendered
and nothing shall harm you.
Do not worry about your fate,
enough wisdom is not yet
in you to predict God's plan
and purpose for you.
Yield yourself to be lead and
be guided by the light of
its pureness.
Be satisfied with its promptings.
Everything is working perfectly
well and equipped with all that is
required to bring an expected end.

THE STORM WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
There is a storm within,
raging inside the head
and the heart cannot
describe or understand it.
The soul lay still and calm,
quietness and tranquility within
bears witness,
the inner conviction
strengthened and
set to win this battle.
There is a multi-choice
to choose from.
Make your move with boldness,
unless the mind really still can't
decide which way to go.
Deep-water horizon is in this
joint venture of the mind
and the spirit.
An escape plan must be hatched
or this would be the last frontier.
That's the funny thing about fate,
it pulls you out powerfully
towards the realm of your destiny.
The choice is now entirely yours
to be the cause of your freedom.
This freedom will get you through
to what you want today,
tomorrow and the future.
Nothing can stop you now.
The most important thing
is to be prepared and ready to
confront and take it back by force.
It has to be done the right way to win.
That's the lifestyle and struggles
of the furious.
Can you feel it within.
The inside of you knows.

SYMBOLS
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2018
There up in the galaxy
are symbols wrought.
Symbols are the secrets
of life encoded in nature
which man inhabits
and must decode to survive.
In deciphering symbols of life,
man needs wisdom.
Hidden within the
framework of our universe
are sacred symbols telling us
about the infinite powers of creation.
Deep beneath the ocean,
even down the darkest
depths of the earth,
symbols speak.
Within the forest,
Signature symbols of
the plants are made manifest.
Every single thing about
our lives are coded symbols
with profound hidden message.
Below the earth are hidden symbols
of the precious gem stones subtlely emanating their secrets to help mankind.
Within the tumultuous ebbs of the tides the surf searches the sand for symbols.
Our lives are symbols of the almighty scattered all over the cosmos.
Symbols are everywhere if we can but only look for it.

Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
This new song you have
dropped into my heart my mouth
will shout out to the world.
I will praise you for you
make me shine out of darkness,
different and best among the best.
Those who don't know will
marvel at what you have done,
will do and continue to do.
Remember your promise oh God
of my heart and God of my realization.
I will stand in the congregation of
your people to show forth your praise.
In worshipping you my heart will
speak of your love.
Your strength and your kingship,
and your Majesty is supreme.
Your healing power is at work here,
for your spirit the Joy of heaven
dwells among us.
Now my heart magnifies you king of glory.
My love for you knows no measure.
You called me your beloved and accepted
me as your very own.
I am overwhelmed by your love.
You chosed and picked me for this very
sacred work and I yield myself to you
for i am on your Majesty's sacred service
accompanied by numerous company of Angels.
And now I go a fishing.

PLAIN TRUTH
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
How can you not talk about
death when it's just a world
only slightly beyond,
which soon must definitely
invite you home.
Being alive and yet dead,
and being dead and yet
fully consciously alive,
which one is more glorious.
The spirit within will always
take control of our being,
making sure that life is
sustained while in our earthly
body for the allowed
period of time,
whether healthy or sickly.
Being conscious of this
fact is very vital.
The visible and the invisible
world are like the pendulum
swinging circumspectively
overly spiraling around you
in precision at perfect synergy
in unison to the cosmic rhythm.
Perfectly interchanging
themselves in their diversities
and unique roles played
out in their own ways.
This is a plain truth for anyone
who approaches the world only
slightly beyond with an open mind.
With gladness the whole universe
responds to such a one with
assurance of a glorious life
free of ignorance.
Nothing is gained here really
only experiences to fully live
in the after life.
In that world beyond is
our lives made perfect.

BE MORE TOLERANT
Emeka Mokeme Jan 2019
When you witnessed
and survived war,
seen villages destroyed,
lots of family
members dead,
lost the people
you love
and care about.
You know a
part of you
died with them,
and you will never
be the same,
then you will
understand why
it is good
to seek peace.
You will understand
diplomacy.
You will negotiate
with the assumed
enemy to find
the right way
out of the situation.
You will never
do anything that
will cause your
people to go
through unnecessary
harrowing experience
and nightmare or
cause the annihilation
of your tribe and
communities and children,
women and the elderly.
You will respect
and value the
dignity of your
people's lives and interests.
You will learn
tolerance and discipline
to deal with
the most difficult
and complex people.
Be more tolerant
in handling difficult
situations.
You will be
convinced and know
that war is not
just the solution
or the answer
to any problem.

NEW DAWN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Awesome and beautiful
is the beginning
of healing in our lives.
Like a new dawn and
a new seed that sprouts
in our garden,
so is the freshness of a
morning breeze to refresh
and bring succour and healing
into our lives.
To bring back Joy into our
being with such purity
and caring is what makes
us stronger and better.
Pain has changed into joy.
Hurt is gone and replaced
by goodness.
Violence is not necessary,
for it is not normal or allowed.
Catastrophic as it is,
is now replaced by serenity.
Peace has returned to our hearts.
Chaos is banished and grace speaks,
for it is definitely not welcomed
within our hearts where it takes root
to destroy the world.
Never give it a place to dwell in,
for it will bind you with
unimaginable force.
It's ugliness can mare the beauty
of your heart and mess with your
sense of self.
Strength of Will is needed to confront
and overcome it's brutal force.
No mercy is shown when you
come face to face with the harsh
realities of life.
The force of the spirit exact its
influence on the mind to
overcome the crisis.
Conflicts of life abates like
the raging force of the ocean tides.
Our hearts is now settled and the
peace which is profound reigns.

NATURAL ORDER
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
In this bizarre
world of confusion
and violence with
so much brokenness
and misunderstanding.
We must comprehend
the deeper order
of the principle
back of things,
hidden within the
fabric of our
daily lives
Understand that through
chaos comes order.
Without ruffledness
there wont be
any order in
the scheme of
things spiritual and
physical.
The unruffled things
brings stagnation
in nature.
Death of things
occur in nature
to usher in
a new sequence
and another chance
of a new beginning
to suit different
seasonal circle and
cross current
into another phase.
Light overrides darkness
and darkness turns
into light.
Continuity allows the
spiralling of negativity
to positive effects.
Error reminds the
heart to forgive
unconditionally.
The night brings
closure of natural
order to usher in
the day light.
Both are working
in synergy to
bring desired balance.
Natural disaster comes
to cleanse and
reshuffle and recircle
all things good
and bad for
our edification.

SO STUCK ON YOU
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
Can't you see I'm
so stuck on you.
This heart beats
for you for sure.
Endearing and
captivating,
a happy soul,
with a voice like music.
The sun in her heart
radiates into her face
creating the alluring
beauty with the light
in her eyes giving it
an illusion of magic.
The sun in her subtle
smile will always
illuminate my life.
With her presence,
my life is better.
She touched my life by
the same fire burning
in her heart and now
she has taken over.
I am aflame and aglow
burning up for her.
Change has come

beautiful happened.
Magically she has
transformed my heart into

SOWED LIKE A SEED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I came from the unknown
And have entered the world
full of complexities,
known and the unknown,
Seen and the unseen,
hidden and fully manifested,
unfathomable and
incomprehensible mysteries.
I have entered
the deepest path of the earth.
I did enter so that I might be
preserved till the end of time.
Sowed like a seed,
That I may sprout again.
Do not look for me here,
For I will not return as you know me,
But different and changed.
As a light waxing
stronger shall my soul be,
In greater duty of
a higher calling than this.
I shall now rest till
the sanctuary be cleansed,
And I will enter.
For the days of
my appointed time is near,
I will wait till my change.
Until then,
I will say,
God speed,
you all who understand.

Help us through this

Be the guide to a blissful

Encourage us spirit divine

Beautiful night,
vivid with magical
clear full moon
hanging in the
dark night up
in the sky.
It brings thoughts
of restlessness
as if you
want to explore
the galaxy
all by yourself.
Beautiful as it may,
calm and quiet
with sounds of
the deep silence
of the earth
talking to your soul.
The heart is
so at ease
and peaceful.
All around you
are not going
to be the same
as time alone
with nature nurtures
and engulf your
being with the
power of love.
With your soul
you feel the light,
even when your
eyes only
see darkness.
The soul opens
up like the
rose flower that
unfolds itself as
it blooms and
blossom to share
it's fragrance
to cheer the
brokenness of the heart.
Washed by its
purity and adorned
by its pureness
the heart is
renewed and regenerated

BEYOND THE SURFACE
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
Open your eyes
and you will
see the answer.
Look again with
the eyes of
your heart but
deeper beyond
the surface.
Be still and
view as if from
the mountaintop.
The ordinary is
deceptive and
so confusing.
What you see
with optical eyes
are actually illusions
and not quite
usually true.
For the heart
knows what is
in the mind
of the spirit
The secret is
revealed but yet
not too open.
Until you seek
with a sincere
heart it is still
not yours.
You must with
effortless effort,
completely yield
yourself in surrender
to it's biding.
There is a sacrifice,
to be paid,
a perfect one,
the one that
empties and drains
the soul in need,
but certainly and
fortunately it has
been paid and
eternally you are
justified and redeemed.
Because you overcame,
you are now,
the freed forever.

ONENESS
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2018
The Cosmic,

all of them bear witness
of your coming,
of your existence,
of your purpose,
your destiny is shaped,
your path ordered,
predestinated to rule,
configured to win.
You are not of the earth,
for you are born of God,
alien in the world,
resident in the earth,
the spirit man,
with heaven within.
The firmament,
and all that composes planet earth, water,air,flora,fauna, soil, people,
human creations,
is needed to be in harmonium,
live in harmony, respect, love,
and oneness.
We must connect lovingly to mother earth,
all living creatures,
human and nonhuman,
physical and nonphysical,
intelligent or without intelligence,
containing a soul or not housing a soul.
We must respect the planet earth,
the water, the trees, the air, the animals,
and other humans.
We are all of,
and from,
the same source.
Just for today,
Be at peace.

RESTRUCTURING A MUST
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
In other to have order
restored by the power
that be,
the elites must have a
message to harness
the rule of law to affect
the public and protect
the people they govern.
Restructuring is a
prerequisite for a
time such as this.
The states must be given
more power to handle affairs
of the people.
True federalism is to put up
a structure for the sake of
posterity and the benefits that
comes out of it for the
people involved.
As simple as it is,
we as a people must be
ready to confront all the
rigours of austerity of which
some amount of sacrifices
are expected regardless of the
outcome and results from our
collective decisions.
Restructuring is a must for proper performance and perfection for
a magnificent and excellently
successful unified progress.
Balance must be restated and restored.
A valued economic recovery and growth
is expected to reach its peak at the end.
Our lives as a people must be valued for all this to work and marvelously manifest itself.

Restructuring the Nigerian states is a call to end marginalization and a prerequisite to an economic growth and lasting peace.

A STRANGER IN THE RAIN
Emeka Mokeme Mar 2019
Don't hold me
responsible for the
rainfall tonight,
it comes to
reveal how much
i hurt and
the way my
tears flows because
of my brokenness.
I am really
a fool being
the way i am.
For the rain
and the darkness
of the night
makes it impossible
to reach you.
I am still
standing at the
corner with the
thunderstorm in
the rain waiting
for you while
you stood
under the shade
of a tree
kissing another.
Do I blame
the rain for
coming down or
my heart for
foolishness or
you for not
loving me.
Should i blame
the thunderstorm
because i didn't
win her heart.
But there,
also standing in
the rain stranded,
is someone
calling out to me,
a stranger.
Maybe love has
finally arrived.

ANGEL BY THE RIVER BANK
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2017
ANGEL BY THE RIVER BANK.
I saw the ancient winged one
Descending from the clouds
With his horn-like trumpet in his hand.
His sword sheathed in the
girdle around his waist.
He stood there within
the clouds as if by the river bank
looking down and watching.
As he stood majestically
in silence with solemn
calmness watching the world go by,
observing our acts,
and our follies.
Oh how I wish mankind
would change before
the trumpet sounds.
Opportunity is given
to remedy our lives
before he strikes out in anger
to our destructive ways.
Peradventure our
inward change genuinely
comes from within,
Our mind renewed,
Our relationship with
all creation improved,
Our downward living upgraded,
Our evil ways changed.
Maybe he will have pity
and show mercy.
Maybe he will forgive.
Maybe the ancient one
will turn away so that
our land will be blessed
and the people save from
the calamity about to befall them.
If our people only knew
what will soon happen.
Oh ancient one forgive our ignorance,
Forgive our unknowing i beg of you.
Plead on our behalf,
have mercy ancient one.
Don't judge my people out of anger.
Bring us out of this dilemma.
With your loving-kindness save us.
Help us out of this predicament lest
we be destroyed.
Have mercy on your children.
Even our Elders have fallen away,
and your children
scattered in disarray.
Don't forsake us.
Show us a new way.
Guide us to the path of
righteousness that we may live.

THERE IS SUCH A MAN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
You're an individual.
You're unique.
And it's important that you
create the space to
express your uniqueness,
and become the fully expressed,
fully unleashed,
fully unlimited vibrancy that you are.
There's a stage in a mans life
when he will keep
every other thing aside
and stand alone without fear
to confront whatever obstacle
that stand in his way,
even intimidation from
the most powerful
or care that beset him
and infest his life,
his inadequacies he will confront
and challenge them with boldness.
Even when the
demons of hell be invoked
and conjured up to come forth
and do their very worse,
he knows they shall not pass
and neither shall they prevail,
because he has been through a lot,
he doesn't really cared
anymore what happens to him,
he has come a long way
and he's here now,
that is  all that matters.
He speaks the truth
that only him can speak,
so profound and will so piercingly hurts
the ears of the guilty ones.
he will boldly stand on the edge
of the mountain top
and let the wind of life pass forcefully
through and over him.
he becomes a determined soul
who confronts the odds in his life,
with the help of the almighty,
he attains the consciousness of the cosmic,
his spirit is now so awakened,
he becomes one with universe,
so enlightened,
he is now an adept to
help in the down world,
carrier of the divine light,
protector of the weak,
full of vigor,
always ready,
a doer of the impossible,
he now becomes
the keeper of the flame,
his back bent from the rigours
of suffering and pain,
showing the marks of
the whiplash he received,
his brows so wrinkled with
inner wisdom that comes out of the
time spent in long hours
of fasting and meditations,
calm with the inner beauty of the spirit,
not intimidating or forceful,
he commands authority,
exacts influence and check anything
that's not edifying from
influencing his environment
and atmosphere he created for himself
and then allow others into his world
to experience the realm
of power bestowed on him,
he is indeed now,
a peculiar fellow,
a workman that needs not be afraid,
one set apart for good works,
for he has chosen the path of his destiny.
Yes,there is such a man amongst us.

THANKLESS ERRAND
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2019
What truths
will you
set free
before you
are set free.
Do you
think you
could actually
discern and
figure this out.
That we
have no
forever because
our heart
will meet
next to never.
I have
fought vehemently
to become
the emissary
of truth
all my life.
It’s a
burden and
a curse
that i
wish no man.
It's a
thankless errand
for only
the called.
The road
within that
leads to
a lonely path.
A road
less travelled.
But what
really is the
actual truth.
Truth it
seems eludes man,
for the
mind of
man is
weak and
not made
up and not
so good.
Even though
the consciousness
of the
mind of
man cannot
be deceived
for man
is born
in soul goodness.
Some of
the acts
of man
are a
disappointment
and disheartening.
And man
at the
final stage
will find
out that
he is
an exulted
and an
enlightened being.

Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
Memories of the heart,
the ones so indelible,
as if it happened
just this moment,
memories the heart
won't easily forget,
memories my heart
holds so dear,
engraved so deeply
in my soul.
Unforgettable and full of
special times spent in life.
The world I carved out of
nothing for myself.
An invisible world I visits
at will and relived daily.
Memories I watch like a
movie in my visions,
recorded for my view,
no external interference
or disturbance.
******* for only one
audience but can be
interpreted and filtered as
a story for different audience.
Memories are made
of these countless years
spent in discovering the
treasures and mysteries
of self in living among
strangers around the world.
Absolutely nothing can
erase these emotionally
motivated thoughts of
all the beautiful time
and joy it evoked.
There are so many of
those beautiful moments.
I owe enormous gratitude
to the individuals that
made it possible.

AS I WATCH
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
In all these rising in status
why do i feel so small
as if i know nothing
Like I'm just a beginner
in the toil of life
Why do i feel so empty
as i watch my accolades
on the wall.
Like i really don't deserve them
I'm just a mole in the moment of time
Living a life of illusions
on which doors upon doors opens
before me as if it's not real
I'm toiling in vain to meet up
something that doesn't exist
I know somehow it's not real
but i just can't stop or help myself
Running a race to meet up another day I can't seem to reach
A day that can't be fulfilled
or be satisfied
All are just empty
I feel like one fetching water
with a basket
And ending up right just where I started
Going round and round in circles
When will all these end
It looks like the end is the beginning
and the beginning is the end
I really don't know

and your heart
with my words,
to infect you
and brighten
your day
with my smile.
I arise
with love,
I arise with
beauty that
will melt
your heart.
Take my
moments with
you to
touch your world
with love
as you have
touched mine.
Let my
love bring
heaven to you.
Let me
bring healing
to your soul.
I want
to be the
first to say
I am sorry,
so you will
never hurt anymore.
Let my tears
wash your sorrows,
let it
wash your feet,
to cleanse it.
It will
bring solace
into your bones.
Let me
rise to the
sky with you
on my mind
and in my
final moments
to touch the sun
and be absorbed
by his love.
