Letter To My Future
Matthew Edeh Mar 2021
Dear future,
You will be born as an answer to my dying world,
Your coming I will patiently anticipate.

Dear future,
You possess the voice of my liberty,
Your coming should save me from captivity.

Dear future,
You are the dreams I pictured,
Your coming should reshape my lost hope.

Imagine
Matthew Edeh Nov 2020
Imagine the world without music
Pipe no Piper
Beat without rhythm
Immure flows of joy

Imagine the world without love
Peace will hiss
Diss will fizz
Miss and care will be unkissed

Imagine the world without men
No Adam no father
Void of toil and invent invention
Mockery for quest of knowledge and discoveries

Imagine the world without Time
Callous and untrammeled
Laziness in stability
Instability of late instant

Imagine the world without women
Fussy ornament devoid of beauty
No mother no children
An island of insipid love

Imagine the world without food
Gnashing of teeth
Enzymes jostle in anger
High taste of silly hatred and threat

Imagine the world without you and I
Good for nothing
Nothing for good
Stale and stink of extinct.

She is gone
Matthew Edeh Nov 2020
She was made for the same purpose
Birth to breath and feed
Who stroke the hive and rattled it's bee??
Imposing pains flowing like the spring
Now enslaved in a world of her own
Treated like a thorn on one side
A tool for making riches and satisfying libido on the other side
She is gone
Bored with agonized sorrows
Casting her freedom to the dungeon
Sting by betrayal
Her weakness a point killer
Regardless like an outcast
Sealed with silence
Enduring every victimizing pains and violence
Will this discriminative secernment ever be dumped in the dark??
Saynotorape, save our daughters

Call of fate
Matthew Edeh Nov 2020
Ten thousand mouth
Stand laughing at your grace
Hundreds of fingers
Poke calling you disgrace
Enface with the mark of fear to join the race
Placing you on a mile space from the embrace of your ace
Soaked with thoughts running through
Looked like the river is dying of thirst
As the legs of believe pace on leave
Lace in the lonely cell of your palace
Dancing to the songs of contemplations
Replace by trace of quitting for days
Solace in weakness
Her cry is heard loud for rephrase
Resounding like heartbeat
Give her your ears
Bear all the dares
Still many harden their heart not to hear
Leaving her like a wounded deer
Oh dearly was the path she choose for all
More still drinking at the bank of shadow
Widows of purposes proposed
In her hurt she build a hut
Shut against all fault
A halt for all bout
For her own to carry alot of clout
As she unveil the garment of wealth and riches
Reaching the itching of outpushing and distinguishing
Her rewards are only for those who answered her call.
She's calling

Playing with the devil
Matthew Edeh Nov 2020
Death to conscience
Booster of ungodliness
Playing chess with the devil
Dropped in his den of evil
Sold the soul for pleasure
Shadowed by greedy desires
Dancing about with satanic attire
Commanding  demands falling in other
Unlasting joy in the pit of sorrow
Inhaling smokes of abomination
Proud in their delusion
As though they own their lives
Casting spells
Swimming in concoction
Due to fear of the ancient enemy
They are diabolic dancers
Submissive to the devil for answer
Enslaved in time and after
Their days as short as second
Their existence will be wiped out
Their memorial stories wiped away
Yet their miseries are eternal.
Sold their souls for pleasure

Hurt
Matthew Edeh Nov 2020
Proposed never to love another
So I gave out my all to no other
My desire was the aisle
To seal our love with splendour attire
Tied my hope and world round about you
To care and cherish you
But you sold me out to pains and depression
Smash my heart without consideration
Folded my dreams and aspiration
Am dying in silent everyday
Woe to love and affection
This wound you created will take time to heal.😥😥😥😥😥
Depressed and wretched by love

Twenty twenty
Matthew Edeh Oct 2020
I will ever remember twenty twenty
When peace was stolen
When sadness unfold her arms to harm
When frustrations gush in troop alignment
Like fierce battalions array with armament
When confusion revolves around the globe
When death strike without mercy
When the earth fed on souls
I will ever remember twenty twenty
Rest in peace fallen heroes

Success syndrom

--- Your success depends on your mindset. --- Start from here to get there. --- The easiest way to success is the path fenced by resistances. --- Nobody needs everybody to be somebody in life. --- Discovering your KNOW saves you from much NO. --- Be careful for deal can deal...

Dying World
Matthew Edeh Apr 2020
The world is old and Grey,
Things concurring to the fact that everything is subject to change except change itself.

It is a dying world,
Where the unusual is seen as usual.

I gaze at her every day,
Instead of getting stronger, she kept fading away continually.

She have been stab with a knife,
And like a ball, she is letting out her content.

I remembered the old tradition when she was still young,
When there was a stand and fight against evil practices but now she is a place where only few mostly stand against evil.

I remembered the ancient days when she was still young,
When there was high rate of modesty but now many are in the **** knot under the wing of fashion.

I remembered the old tradition when she was still young,
When virginity is protected and honored with the medal of pride, loosing her is like loosing the jewel in the crown but now her pride have been puncture, she has lost her place and regards walking the streets.

I remembered the ancient days when she was still young,
When diseases are less and curable and illnesses, infections are controlled and endemic but now immense incurable diseases of different species epidemic and so pandemic.

We are trapped in a dying world,
Faced to faced with numerous abnormalities.

Death
Matthew Edeh Apr 2020
You know no kings, slaves
Rich nor poor,
Greedy as a hog(pig)
you're never satisfied,
So powerful as a lion,
making both the strong and           weak,
hardhearted and hardbitten,
sober and mourn because
of your presence.
    
       Invisible as the air,
you've become regular as sunrise
because you're felt everywhere,
you've deprived millions of            achievements,
unreasonable and blind as a bat
you took without considerations.

       As restless as the sea
you kept roaming without             destinations,
inflicting pains,sorrows and            damages,
your hands are soaked with           blood of both the wicked and        innocent.

      Senseless as a stone,
  Lazy as a toad,
you kept reaping where
you didn't sow,
     Soon your secret will be
made naked as the night,
     Oh soon,
You will be made lowly as a            slave,
harmless, helpless and powerless
  as a baby,
A laughing stock among those
you caused pain,
and as low as a grave,
you will be cast away forever,...

Time
Matthew Edeh Apr 2020
Time is neutral,
Yet everybody has it,
Somebody can use it,
Anybody can abuse it,
And it wait for nobody..

Time is time,
It can be week and days
It can be years and month,
It can be seconds, minutes and hours,
Meants for shifting through strategies..

Time is Seed,
It can become ripe,
Fresh and attractive like tomatoes,
Though when wasted and not harvested,
It cannot be regained.

Time is Memories
It can be past,
glancing over what we failed to do,
It is present,
glancing over what we've done.

Time is Precious,
Avoid the long thought and wariness,
Don't starve it with confusion,
Escape as you can find,
Maximize every moments.

Time is Reflective
A deeper need of meditation,
Engaged in moment by moments,
Quietness of heart for regurgitation,
Conscious to remember the lives we lived.

Time is a Room,
A place located within,
Where all the past lives as the present,
Where the dead are alive again,
Where the living are alive with them as well

Time is......
Invest well with time

Corona
Matthew Edeh Apr 2020
We saw her coming,
We hear the roaring of her voice,
But still she took us unaware,
Because we took her for granted,
We can't escape but bear her wrath now.

Her sting is as poisonous as that of a viper,
Dreadful and ruthless her out stretch wreck havoc,
Spreading easily and faster like the speed of light,
Her verdict is so draconic on the rich while parting the poor with mercy,
Yet she is manner less and regardless in dealings.
