Sing a Song
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
Sing a song
For our heroes past
Our wars they fought for long
Our cries fuelled their thirst
Oh young lads, mourn and beat the gong
For death came for them all at last

Sing a song
For our ***** friends
Our pains they felt
Broken hearts they mend
And with their radiant smile
For us they could walk a thousand mile

Sing a song
For our daring mothers
Nine months they strived
Death, they might have bribed
Watching us crawl brought tears to their eyes
And their only goal, is to watch us rise

Sing a song
For our now leaders
Promises they made before gotten desires
Our sweats for cars, villas, and empires
Oh ye children are the leaders of tomorrow
But still, we are inflicted with pains and sorrows
Greed comes with a blind fold, disguising who to follow
But let's just keep calm, and hope for a better tomorrow

Queen of Theives
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I saw her first under the sunlight rays
Her beautiful face, sparkling like a silver plate
On my bed I counted for days
Sometimes daydream and fall asleep late
Crucify me, for her sins I will pay
Oh!, what has befallen me, an ill luck fate??
She stole my heart, and for that I won't cease
To stop calling her the queen of thieves

Good Deeds
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I did good by the lots of you
You might deny this, even when it's true
I went down to raise you up
Fought against odds, to reach the top
Though the road was rough, we didn't stop

I gave more than I collect
Not a friend did I ever neglect
I tried my best to please them
But you see, that was a problem
Not every soul deserves a helping hand
Not every soul helps a friend drowning in quick sand
I've given my last
I'm leaving the past
And might you deny this, even when it's true
I know I did good by the lots of you

The Lingering Darkness
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
It's dark, it's cold, it's lonely, it's home

Lights turned off, locked in my room
I stare with smiles, at the absence of the moon
I get familiar once again with the lingering darkness
It eases my pain and takes away this sadness
And as I stare into this oblique blackness
I think of bad and all beastliness
Devouring up every soul, giving up no kindness

In darkness, I find solace
In it, I find peace
In darkness, I plead no case
In it, I find me
The darkness is here
And it's come to stay
Do not be scared my dear
For if you're with darkness...there's nothing left to fear

Cupid's Mistake
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I lost your trust
You lost mine
The distance was much
Our love couldn't fly

Broken promises
Broken hearts
We told lies
We said byes

I miss your touch
Do you miss mine?
The touch of your lips
When it meets mine

The Monster
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I came as a friend
She doesn't need a friend
I came as an helper
She has lots of maids
I came bearing gifts
She threw them all out in a swift
But then, I came as a monster
And with her soul and heart, she took me forever.

The Dark Void
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I am not aware of my being
I sometimes drift into a void of darkness
Moments soon, paranoia kicks in
I manage to bring out a smile
From the remains of what I call a mouth

Loneliness fuels the fire of sadness
My happiness refuses to quench
Moments later, I get lost
Not in the void, but in my thoughts
Thoughts as to why i'm not aware
Of my being??....No!
But the reason to my sadness

Crimson's Demise
Emmanuel Coker Sep 2014
I always knew you had it in you
Driving a man insane with words of abuse
A note lies on the floor stating my demise
With reasons why I did this for you

I heard them banging at the locked door
Stepped into the bathtub, time was up
The water was cold, the blade was rust
Hands stretched as I took the first cut

1,....2,....3, I was gone!,
Never to feel the pain of a lost cause

— The End —
