GENIE May 2020
The ways you see life determines what you value,
what you value determines what you learn,
What you value determines what you live for
What you live for determines how you live
So if you see life as:
A poem, you learn words
A problem you solutions
A relation,you learn communication
A game, you learn tricks
A battle, you learn to  fight
A job, you learn duty
A race,you learn speed
A marathon, you learn endurance
A study, you learn logic
An act, you learn emotions
A music, you learn notes
A dance you learn steps
A beat, you learn to dance
A community you learn people
A weather, you learn shelter
A storm you learn strength
A turn, you learn patience
A trade you learn money
A jungle you learn survival
An ocean, you learn to swim
A mountain you learn scaling
A valley, you learn graceful descent
A commitment you learn honesty
A death zone, you learn killing
A mystery, you learn adventure
An adventure, you learn living
A fashion you learn dressing
A competition you learn scarcity
A cooperation you learn abundance
A team work you learn networking
A lie, you learn to the truth
A truth, you learn freedom
The goal to being free is to learn your lies, challenge and face them
A job you learn duty,
When you see life as comparison, you learn envy
Destructive envy leads to priority misplacement,
This leads to value misplacementzthe root cause of shortsightedness and selfishness
So, see right to learn right to live right
See right to live right

Bleeding for nothing
GENIE Feb 2020
From the day I told her I was crazy about her,
She did all to hurt
Fell in love with a mutual friend
To keep me at bay
If only I had my way
I would make it end
Not their relationship which is hot,
But my love for her
Cos I'm I bleeding for nothing

It hurts
GENIE Feb 2020
Dear love,
         This wasn't our agreement
We agreed to stay away
We agreed to enstrangement
Why then did I find you this way
In my love-tight compartment
I was safe in this fortress
Why then do you bring duress
I'm falling for the wrong one
And it hurts
More than a stun gun
Yes it hurts

EVOLUTION
GENIE Aug 2021
I know it's only a passing phase
But I wish it could stop now
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I've given up on giving up
I know am slowly evolving
Becoming a better being
But this pain is too much
The pain of purification is the strength of sanctification.

STUPID(2)
GENIE Feb 2020
I was stupid to have believed you would help
Too stupid to see you needed help
I was stupid to think you'd never betray
Stupid to call you brother
I was stupid to think you selfless
Not just stupid,a little helpless
No more will I ever wonder
If friends,friend waylay
I was stupid to take you a friend,
Stupid enough to overlook your shortcomings
I saw the signs,yet I had to pretend
Or I had to be stupid
Thanks to you I'm no longer stupid
I hoped to feel hate,but I feel nothing
The pain is gone,but the scars remain,
The scars are my certificate,
I faced my trials,
Faced my demons,
Fought my battles,
Yes I died out of my stupid trust
But wisdom found me
I passed life's test of stupidity,
I've finished my course,
I've passed out,
I've moved on.
I forgive you,
I forgive my stupidity
Not because you deserve forgiveness,
But because I deserve peace
Only stupid people hold grudge,
So I forget you
I'm not stupid anymore
Dedicated to all who had my trust betrayed my easy trusting heart.
You've been forgiven and forgotten

Spark a flame 🌞
GENIE Jan 2021
Let love be a candle
And our every act a flame
For everyone helpless you cuddle
You spark a flame
Everytime you help someone in a struggle
You intensify the flame
For when darktime comes and you struggle
You will know no shame
Cos the universe will spark you a flame
That bears your insignia and name
You'll never be the same
All because you sparked a flame☀

TRUE WORLD
GENIE Apr 2021
Where is it gone
The true world
Where truth is like the sun
Liberal, a formidable lord
I dare not call this world a lie
But as days goes by and by
The fountains of truth dry and dry
The spirits of trust die and die
And I can't help but wonder and ponder?
Where o where, is the true world gone?
It takes unconditional love to make the world true again

My phone almost crash
But even if it crashes, it gets back up
Let's get back up, More than we used to
I feel like am dying
Is not like am afraid of death
You're worth going to hell for
But then my only dying wish will be,
To die, smiling in your arms
Grant this dying man one last wish
Cos only then will I rise, a champion in paradise
Champions In Paradise
Champions In Paradise

Dear God,its been so long,

father u know how much I suffer,
pour blessings into my quarter.
have you left me to rotten,
have you your mercy forgotten,
have you lost your sympathy,
Look upon me,I pray,with pity.
Find me lord for am lost,

seeing am made of dust,
Find me now at all cost.
I have been through so much pain,
Lord my morale is slain.

unless u gimme some rain.
Its a dry and tough terrain,
I'm getting more than my bargain,
pls father send me some rain,
That I might live again.

The Pain Philosophy
GENIE Apr 2021
HERE'S MY PHILOSOPHY ON PAIN:
If your daily bread is greater than your daily goal,
Constant pain tames your wild soul
Some pains are brutal but necessary evil
If you're to conquer the devil
Be careful, be careful still
Some pains are completely avoidable, unnecessary evil
Arising from lack of will
IT'S JUST A Philosophy, JUDGE IT AS YOU WILL.

I LOVE POETRY
GENIE Apr 2021
Its my life and passion
My dream and nightmare
Its my storm and calm
Its my best and worst
Others may live for love
Or whatever else they want
I live for poetry
And it lives in me
GENIE May 2020
I long for my old guitar
I'm no rock or pop star
But a broken soul
Seeking to be whole
I long to play my old guitar
Alone on the road with mud for tar
In the shack building I'll stay awhile
Where life is no more than a mile
I long for my old guitar
Nothing wrong with the new one named peter
But I'm one with my old guitar
My excesses cannot be shun by peter
I long to play my old guitar
It's old tune still without mar
Tells me if I've come this far
Just a mile, I'll touch the star
I long for my old guitar
My old friend and adviser
Whatever it says, I'll say yes sir
And it tells me to find glory in my scar
Though the storms around me roar
Though the waves against me soar
Though life be cold as Mars
Though I be falling from the effiel tower
Though u be caged with a wild boar
Though strength fails,and I have no power
Though I have A newer better peter
Though life breaks me with terrible shatter
No matter what, it's no matter,
Even if condemned as a matyr
I'll still long for my old guitar
Whose tune unlike that of Peter
Says truth that's bitter
Life's a mile, then hereafter
Checkpoints are chaos and disaster
No more than a millimeter
These checkpoints may your character alter
Or even make you better
How you handle them,says what comes after
If you must win and become master
Defy these gods here, and hereafter
FEAR,HATE,MISTRUST,EGO,PRIDE,ANGER
THOUGHTS THAT MAKE OUR MIND CLUTTER
THOUGHTS OF ESCALATING DISASTER
THINGS THAT MAY HAOOEN, BUT SURELY NEVER
If we think positively time and time after
Think right now, you'll do right later
Think wrong now, and you're a time rigged disaster
Which happens sooner or later
There are things you can't alter
So beware what you sacrifice on what altar
Find what your will always muster
Your life depends on it like water
Never forget God, never ever,
A brother, foe, or sister
Who helped you in disaster
Disaster may be but a nanometer
Many miles it has shattered
Many more it will shatter
Still it can make you better
If only you listen to my old guitar
It's tunes sweet, truth bitter
You will emerge better,
Now and in the hereafter.
I love my guitar though I know not how to play it well yet.
I love poetry,and hope to master its every set

THE DYING MAN
GENIE May 2020
This isnt a poem of my thought,
Its a deep lesson life taught
In the darkest wees of the morning,
I woke feeling like ****
The previous day drowned me in defeat,
Weakness overtook me without  warning ⚠
The dawning morning was no better
Rats had eaten my drugs
I've never felt such bitter
I cursed them little thugs
The shouting and horning came within warning
In the background, groans of pain
I happen to be a staff of accident and emergency
Where we treat injuries of utmost urgency
Someone was dying at my gate,
I let them before its too late
All who brought him were more tensioned than power lines
I only had to look to understand their deep worry lines
A man's gut was outside, dripping red
This ain't just red, it's blood
Being military born and bred,
Emotions never Flood at sight of the red
Kidney, intestines, liver and all
Whose for rhymes sake i call paul
We're torn, even his bladder and gall
My legs shivered, I almost took a fall
My body shivered despite engine heat
I searched for the nearest seat
At the sight of man's raw meats
My heart skipped 10 consecutive beats
What made it even more touching,
Was what he kept moaning,
What he kept asking
He'd been climbed by a tow vehicle engine,
While sleeping,
His tow vehicle engine
A trailer that tows trailers
He'd been virtually killed by it
Partially killed by it
Yet he kept asking of it
Praying nothing happens to it
My eyes almost broke in tears
Something that hadn't happened in memory long years
Despite everyone's fears
This man had different fears
This was something he didn't value before
But as he laid on death's dark shore
He valued it like never before
This made me feel bad, then sad, then mad
Realizing I don't value enough, all I had
Always complaining things are bad, times are hard
But not anymore,
I won't get to death's dark shore
Till I appreciate, give thanks even more,
What I have now even before,
Every single scrap in my life store
Life is a gift I realize,
A gift, a trophy, a prize
Not by chance or a game of dice.
To live is divine consent,
Every second, years, every moment
It's a gift called the present
Life's too short to resent
Be thankful sister, be grateful brother,
And please share this with another
This isnt a Made up story,
It's a true life story.
Moral lesson:value what you have now,
                         Look at your life and say wow

**SOMETHING ELSE**
GENIE May 2020
They say no one survives the devil
They were wrong
I survived you
They say man's heart is evil
A place no good belongs
That describes you
I survived the devil,
I became mysteriously strong
I survived true,
But I became something else
A legend everyone tells
Mystifying,casting spells
It's good being something else
Living my dreams,not of someone else
It's great to live your dreams
Something I'm privileged to achieve

Win-Win for us
GENIE Nov 21
Good morning
Ways open for us
Doors open for us
Mountains melt before us
Rivers part ways
Storms hold no sways
Why?
cos we're children of the most high
Above whom there is no one else
We're not afraid of the storms
Because we have the prince of peace in the boat
We just worry the boat won't hold if he doesn't wake up soon
But then, he can make us and all that's ours walk upon the waters,
Ride the storms as we would ride our boats
He owns the storm, he'll teach us to pilot it,
He'll give us a ship for the boat we lost
Make the hurricane the vessel that takes us to where we need to be
Anyways, it's win-win for us
Cos we have JESUS

Spreading LOVEz
GENIE Aug 2020
I feel it coming
I hear them calling
The silence is breaking
Their whispers less confusing
The darkness,its voice soothing
The abyss, its voice  compelling
The void seductively inviting
The dark calls my name
The abyss my eulogy proclaim
The void sweetens my nickname
I long to answer and turn
But there is that which i must do
I must this cold brave,
and this war win
I must this light shine,
and this heart share
I must spread this LOVEz
Maybe after doing this, I will answer them
But i got a LOVEz to spread

Tale of a survivor
GENIE Jun 2020
They broke my legs, i learnt to run with my hands
They took my hands,i learnt to fly
They broke my trust
I learnt to believe
I gave them love they gave me pain
I discovered that pain,
Is the fuel passion demands
They blind my eyes,i learnt vision
They blocked my ears,i learnt to think
They took my body,i engaged my soul
They gave me scars,i saw the stars
They left me broken
I evolved molten
They left me for dead
I learnt to survive
And now i can roar
As i soar
I am a survivor
And this is my tale
Just reminiscing

SPLIT SECOND LOVE
GENIE Aug 2021
In a split second, I had it all and lost it all
In a split second, you kissed me and bit me
In a split second you built me and destroyed me
In a split second you healed me and killed me
In a split second you made me and marred me
In a split second, you showed me love and blinded me
In a split second you gave it all and took it all
It takes a split second to hurt, how long till I heal?
Does healing take forever?
Does healing take forever?
Or another split second.

WE ARE POETS
GENIE May 2020
The light in us make the sun dark
Wherever we go, we leave our mark
The cold in us makes death hot
If not,
why do we recycle our hurt
Standing next to the sun won't stop us from shinning,
Fighting the devil's champion won't stop us from winning
Wars are won by guns and swords,
Hearts are won with right words
That's why we are poets,even more,never less
We are poets, above all else
This is to every poet dead, alive, and yet unborn

So, I never explain
They can't stop my campaign brand
Neither can the pain

A Poet's curse
GENIE Feb 2020
The curse of pain
The curse of overflowing tears
The curse of paralyzing fears
The curse of true love
The curse of being different
The course of dejection
The curse of joy
The curse of pride
The curse of self-expression
The curse of resilience
The curse of soul baring
And
The curse of immortalization
All these are a poet's curse
To these curses I am doomed
But I need no cure
I am blessed to be doomed
I am doomed to be a blessing
Cos I am blessed to be a poet
Dunno about you though???
Being a poet ain't child play
Respect them
If you think otherwise
You're welcome to try

I CARE
GENIE Jun 2020
I see them and I feel
Like am one of them
When people look they see
Torn barefoot battered people
When I look I see
Resilience,strength and determination
To be absolutely free
They are called different names
Coz they are the different ones
Lunatics,saddist,psychos,wackos
But deep inside you something echoes
All this could have been avoided
If only someone cared enough
Once upon a time they were well
With no one to tell
Their struggles and hell
And cos no one cares enough
They were consumed by that hell
If only someone cared enough
I see them and I see no condemnation
But I feel an obligation
Like an alpha to his pack of rabid wolves
To seek their redemption
perhaps if I cared enough
if I loved them enough
There can still be redemption
Albert Einstein said"there is no genius without a hint of madness"
So if someone had cared
All madmen could have been
"Mental  geniuses"
I see them and I see hope
Cos I TRULY CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
It's about time someone cares
Away with the "I'm fine" template"

Colorful shadow

Of what I used to be,
I'm now a shadow
Yet the brightest rainbow🌈
Compared to this shadow,
Is a shade of what colorful should be
Better to be a colorful shadow
Than be a dull rainbow
I set out to be a colorful rainbow
Hope and survival magnified
But I became a colorful shadow,
Hope and survival personified
So fear not if today I sorrow,
For tomorrow,
I'll be happy to the marrow
All poets are colorful shadows
I wrote this thinking bout all I thought I would be, yet happy to be me, what I'm really meant to be

POETIC RESPECT
GENIE May 2020
Poets are something else
They stand apart,in a world torn apart
They see beauty in ashes
Who does that?
They understand the grasses
They see nature in magical glasses
That's what their mind are made of
So they see beauty in ugly stuff
No one understands pain more
No one understands love more
Their honesty is incomparable
They are simply God's miracle
Their imaginations are vast
Larger than the very universe put togther
They are never stingy
For they share their soul
They are messengers of hope
They should be enshrined as gods
Yet no true poet wants that
They simply want to share
Not for glory or immortalization
Yet they are born immortals
Whose words alter the course of time
They bring healing to a sick world
Relief to a pained world
They're God's treasured ones
If you doubt me,
Read the psalms of david
And the proverbs of Solomon
Read the Ecclesiastes
And see how God carefully planned them
Treasures them, and nature's them
This fills the devil with envy
And he sends trials their way
They're often torn, rejected, dejected
Beaten time and after
Yet they bring beauty to sufferings
And touch the core of your very soul
Poets are really something else
That's why they're often misunderstood
Once, I wasn't much of a poet
So it was hard to see,
How a fellow man makes suffering desirable
But since I began the journey,
I now understand why poets are something else, different from the rest of the world
RESPECT  to every poet out there,RESPECT.
love poets,respect poets,

Away from you

TOO MUCH PAIN MAKES THE SOUL NUMB WITH STRAIN

A TRESHHOLD TO NEVER CROSS
ITS THE ANCHOR AGAINT VIOLENT TOSS
ITS THE ROOT AGAINST THE HURRICANE

FOR WITHOUT IT,YOU CANT BEAR THE PAIN.

A DESPERATE LETTER
GENIE Aug 2021
Dear Genie, where are you. Please come back. I seem to have lost it all. All that you earned. The jobs, the morale, the charisma, the devil may burn for all i care, the energy to exercise, thr passion for God, the passage to God, the craziness, more painfully, the love and respect you earned and commanded. You were what i would call "THE PERSONALITY"

Dear Genie how did you ever do it? At a time when we had nothing no money, no love, no charisma, no morale, no passion, overcaring, zero respect, no vibes, nothing. You came like a storm and took over.
You changed the climate and changed the landscape, you showed me what could be where nothing had been.
You dared to dream, you dared anything that dared to threaten our dream. You went for it against all odds, till you achieved what i once called "THE IMPOSSIBLE"

Dear Genie, you were never weary, never tired. Never gave up, never surrendered, never angry, never intimidated. You were what people would call "THE PERFECT STORM"
But then i felt thought I'd take a break find some peace and start to care. The little i gained, i thought I'd share and i thought i could do without you. I thought i could be "THE BETTER ONE"

Dear Genie, Its better said how dearly i paid. The pain i faced for loving, the hurt i endured for caring, the loss i faced for sharing. Beaten, disgraced, betrayed, framed, tamed. I became "THE DEFAMED"

Dear Genie, Its been a long and tiring journey. I feel lost and alone...worse, lonely. I need you badly. I'm sacred to dare to dream again, afraid. I feel broken, worse, shattered. All i loved and trusted have betrayed me. Even your God seems silent. I feel like "THE ABANDONED"

Arise again o Genie...arise i pray thee. Let your energy course through me again i pray thee. Not through some external stimulant as before, but as an inane genius within.
Come as a hurricane and tear apart my fears. Build again my fort, and cut my losses short.
I've still got one thing though the music which you birthed God's gift to us back then. I have fed it nurtured it, and now it crawls and calls me "THE FATHER"

OUR SON NEEDS YOU BROTHER, OUR MUSIC NEEDS YOU, OUR FUTURE NEEDS YOU. I WANT TO BE CALLED "THE LEGEND"
Desperate times calls for desperate letters.

Its that time again
To hope and dream again
To dream so big it seems mundane
To echo my  dreams so much and look insane
To fiddle pain and heartbreak again
I don't care what spirits lay atop the mountain
I will climb again
Cos up there is a fountain
I must drink again
And should I fall ten times again,
I'll rise twelve times again
Till every loss becomes a gain,
I will dream again
Hey guys, thank you all for your support

And when I think am healing and getting it right
Life shines a blinding light
And then absolute darkness
To find my way, I grab a pen
Its inks mark my path
Each time I get twice stronger
Life gives double the strength
Life oh life
Can't you teach me in another way?

GENIE Feb 2020
Its better dead than to be,alive
Wondering,
When will this pain end
And peace will arrive

Could Be
GENIE Apr 2021
This could be me
Holding your hands walking naked in eden
This could be me
Kissing you deeply for every step of ten
This could be us
Our love boundless, Our passion bottomless
Turning deserts to Gardens
And Hell to Eden.
Yes it's us, but only in my imagination and pen,
Sure it's us, but only in my poems.

ON GOD
GENIE Feb 2021
I AM LOST BUT NOT WITHOUT FOCUS
I MAY HAVE LOST MY WAY BUT NOT MY MIND
AS LONG AS I REMAIN IN GOD'S LOCUS,
MY WAY WILL FIND ME AS SURELY AS DARKNESS FIND THE BLIND
AM ON GOD

Silence
GENIE Jun 2020
I donot trust the noise, it hides so much
I donot trust the silence, it knows too much
I trust the silence, it keeps so much.
I trust God

Alone moments
GENIE Jun 2020
When life leads us through deserts and mountains alone
It's for self discovery,
It's for healing and victory
Alone moments are self defining moments eg--an unborn in the womb

HELL
GENIE Feb 2020
Hell means a lot
A place for the condemned
Burning fiery red hot
A place God's wrath descend
Hell scares a lot
No one wants heat
Life opened the gates of hell
I had to walk through it
And I actually liked it
Hell is where legends are formed
The greater the heat,the purer the metal
The purer the metal,the rarer the metal
The rarer the metal the greater the value
The purer the metal the greater the heat
Hell is a refinery
Its destiny's greatest arsenal against life
Life opened hell,and I found destiny
But first I must be refined
After being melted
After being broken
But I won't remain broken
I won't remain melted
Like a Phoenix will I rise
Leave behind the ashes
And soar to destiny
For on the other side of hell lays destiny
In a beautiful land named destination
On the wild journey called life,
Beyond the training zone called HELL.
Life opened the gates of hell,and I found solace in the heat,away from the cold that is called the world

Hell
GENIE Jun 2020
Hell is not a bad place after all
It sure does enlighten
It won't be for long afterall
We'll get to heaven
