Only I trust,
The beating of my heart,
Been with me from the very start,
Right through six feet ******, and dust.

Better times are with us,
That fresh green lawn,
Is right here before us,
For it is darkest before the dawn.

Odoodun l'a r'omo obi l'ate,
The sun shall rise above you on the next,
Alahurabi ko ni se e li agutan, pa'so esi da,
Eat, be merry, age is but a number.

Away with the angels,
Mandela, he flies away with brilliant wings,
Joyfully smiling with heavenly beings,
He leaves behind, hypocrites, and crocodile spells.

This land flows with blood and tears,
For a hundred years,
Vampires and Gremlins,
Have made love to werewolves and cretins.

Out of will,
Handcrafted, discovered,
Or prayed into existence,
Every thing invented;

Nothing ever created,
To shorten, strengthen,
Or make easier,
Ever turned out better.

In the darkness there's a weakness,
Terrifying shadows that feed on fear,
But in the light, it is very clear,
That with brightness comes immense greatness.

Fear  wrapped itself around the hearts of the children of state,
Daily cowed by hunger, starved of enlightenment and forced by repression,
The horizon is widely bleak and uninspiring, spirit anchored to a hopeless future,
Chained to empty promises, they float aimlessly in airless skies;

The way out is obvious even to the unsighted,
That in one accord lay the keys to soaring freedom,
Taking the seat of power by force,
And daming the consequences to achieve the ultimate utopia.

Better it is today,
My life to lay,
For a cause worthy,
Than a cowardly history.

A ******* estate of,
Might is right where,
Gentleness is weakness and,
Violence takes it all.

I have offended many,
That did not deserve any apology,
And attracted a few,
With loveless methodology.

Coming closer to your fire,
Makes my resistance tire,
All my denials surrender,
To your fiery, wonderful thunder.

Comes to them naturally,
And we gobble ever so stupidly,
Every four years, this tradition,
Carries on without emotion.

The cat's ****,
Thumps the rat's heart,
"Mom, she's been here?"
"Charles, don't play there!"

The People of State with fettered willpower,
Can only exert authority on the lowly and weak,
Deriving power by force,
And wailing by right of entitlement.

Constantly you set me tests,
And everytime I ask, why?
Tongue in cheek,
You keep me in the dark;

You reach out into my past,
To ignite dead flames,
To stoke old affections,
And dig up buried affairs;

This box of trouble,
Pray I, you can handle,
These entities are powerful,
Relentless, they stop at nothing;

Once upon a season,
I made a wrong turn,
It is the same road,
And the portends have not changed.

So you ****** your way,
All through to the top,
But you could have knelt to pray,
And never suffered a decent drop.

By the hand of blood,
Life is taken,
For the sake of humanity,
A bond is broken.

Had it up to here!
Allow me be myself!
Yes, you brought me here!
But now can take charge of myself!

Before they come,
Let me clear all doubts,
You'll make a wonderful mother,
So do not bother;

There to welcome each one,
To assure and give you strength,
Will change diapers,
And bring them slippers;

The nights when they bawl and bawl,
Your man will rock and rock 'em back to sleep,
So, earth's incredible little angels' mother,
No worries, they got a super, super father!

And the day you gave me ten naira,
With love;
And made the most delicious fufu with okra on Christmas day,
With more love;
And sold all your crates of soft drinks just so we could feed,
With inexplicable love;
And although you would baby this man and annoy me! Gosh!
All with undying love;
I deserve no other mother but you,
And I love you, mummy.
GOD bless you everyday of your selfless life. Live forever, mummy. Muah!!

Happy Mother's Day to Mama Dada <3

The ruler wields absolute authority,
He tramples upon the minority,
With ferocity, he goes out to conquer,
And lays waste upon the weak across the border.

A sliver of grey,
Peeking through the ashen sky,
Then all turned crimson,
And the world hushed in unison.

Selfish ******* that cry for ****,
Wombs that never tire to be filled,
Do not stray across the block,
This field, daily, must be tilled!

Here we are,
And the next no more,
In through one door,
And then out in the cold.

For this could be the last,
Time, I hold you, mother,
So, let none put asunder,
This love, in blood cast.

The days we had nothing,
We went to bed smiling,
Never did you make me feel unwanted,
Thanks, mummy, heaven's most blessed.

I keep hope breathing,
Never fearing expiration,
No matter the present condition,
I shall never cease hoping.

A few wealthy men,
Running around with power,
Laughing in the face of poverty,
Dressed in green and white and green;

A few powerful men,
Strutting around with fat wallets,
Sharing promises to the hopeless,
Allocating lies dressed in dishonesty;

A lot of angry people,
Hungry for something to believe in,
Never known a life of meaning,
Desperate for the chance of a lifetime.

The staleness of your emotion,
Irritates me much,
No bearing on my condition,
Enough of such and such.

Will hell freeze over if I left you,
Or the heavens fall?
Would time never stroke the hour,
If I said my last goodbye?

She belongs to someone else now,
Why give yourself high blood pressure?
She did not see you in her future,
Curtains! Take a bow!!

For every hand you withhold,
My heart has grown stronger,
I can fight longer,
You don't need to be told.

She flutters **** eyelashes,
And makes tasty sandwiches,
And when she said YES,
Every other became less.

Oh, well, here we go,
You call one clueless, coconut head,
And the other cannot remember his phone number,
Oh, politics, what a ****** game!

Her decision could have been,
One way, or the other,
But she brought forth this being,
And none else would I call, Mother.

Mushy, mush! Mush!!
Emotions twirl and slosh,
Pack it in for the day,
And go frolic in hay.

But why are women like this?
Mother never wants to let go,
Wife wants mother-in-law out,
In the middle, without a clue.

He gave us the good,
But I must find better,
For years I misunderstood,
Why he wasn't a goal getter;

Now a father myself,
I see with different eyes,
Be true to thyself,
Even if others see lies.

Some lines were never crossed,
Like staying out ridiculously late,
Or going out on a flimsy date,
These two were clearly stressed;

And they shaped the future,
Becoming a recluse of sorts,
By the widow, acknowledging social reports,
At forty, contemplating a life tour.

All I am,
Today, yesterday was made,
For tomorrow, by him,
Out of love, and humble foresight.

A Master of many things,
And Jack of most,
A handyman's man,
And envy of all;

By the time,
I was old enough,
Our laundry days were classes,
He taught the lesson of independence.

Wait, when was she hardly a pillow's length?
As she lay asleep, curled up, now several feet longer,
Then I reflected on the miracles of this life,
And how awesome such moments can truly be.

Beautiful one; oh, see her shine,
Gracefully, she struts like the gazelle,
Gifted, with proportions that are divine,
This one, she is more than the belle.

Someplace, around the corner,
There, where my mind struggles,
Trying to make sense of it all,
Many questions remain unanswered;

I remember receiving that call,
Out of the blue on that fateful day,
They called out to you, severally,
But you had answered a higher one;

Not a day changes from sunrise to sundown,
That I do not reflect what could have been,
How thoae last minutes actually played through,
Where you in pain, or really felt nothing;

Rest on, my mother,
Friend to all,
Enemy to none,
A beautiful soul like no other.

Be true to your heart,
Let your head rationalise,
And your intellect theorise,
But you knew right from the start.

As worthless as it becomes,
Increasingly is hard to get,
The struggles of stable incomes,
Stacked against the failed goals set.

Unfit women deliver,
Babies to be sold,
Into any fold,
Just for some paper.

A good heart,
But in the wrong place,
That beautiful face,
But how did this start?

How easy for men,
To fall prey to the guiles of women,
Abandoning proper critical processes,
To simply thinking with their phalluses.
