Our Sacred Choices
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

If you choose to bow to your believe
And I choose to stand
To my believe
Why should we fight?

When I chose to stand
Before my Maker in humble
Adoration
It was my choice.

When you chose to bow
To your believe
It was equally your
Choice.

My orientation thought me to Stand or genuflect
While your orientation
Thought you to bow.

Why should we fight
Over our choices
When it was not imposed
On us by anyone?

If I don't force you to stand
To my believe
Why should you force
Me to bow to your believe?

Is this believe not meant to be Amicable?
Why should we fight over it
As if we own it?

We all came to
Embrace it,
We will all leave it
Behind.

If I call you brother
Why can't you call me one?
If I crave for peace
Why can't we live in peace?

Is it not what we preach?
Is it not what we strive to
Achieve?
Peace be still.
This poem questions the disagreement in people's religious beliefs.

We Want To Go Home
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

If we say we want to go home,
Who will lead the way?
If we say we want to go home,
How united are we?

We will go home
Only when we start agreeing together:
Loving each other,
Helping each other.

That is when we will go home:
When we are ready to give
Each other water on our way
home,
When we won't spite ourselves.

We will hold hands together
Singing a new song:
A song of hope,
A song of victory.

We will love without blemish,
Laugh without hindrance,
Hug without stabbing
And walk down the aisle of unity.

We will celebrate our heroes past:
Acknowledge our rare gems,
Appreciate ourselves
And celebrate home.

My Audition Days
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

I believe by Yolanda Adams that the audience will 'Listen' by Beyonce because 'We Are Here' by Alicia Keys that 'Man Down' by Rihanna 'Ain't It Funny' by Jennifer Lopez ft. Ja Rule that it's too late to 'Apologize' by Justin Timberlake whose 'Future' by TY Bello said we should sing 'Halleluiah' by Alexandra Burke and 'No One' by CeCe Winans stopped the 'Fireworks' by R. Kelly that made the spectators to 'Stand Up (for the champions)' by Right Said Fred because 'I Look to You' by Whitney Houston and 'Thank God I Found You' by Mariah Carey, Joe, 98 Degrees because I love you 'Just The Way You Are' by Bruno Mars: let's 'Heal the World' by Michael Jackson.


And if I were to go for any audition now, I won't forget to 'Sip' (alcohol) with Joeboy even when I don't take alcohol.
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Soldier go soldier come is the reason some people miss angels.

What will people say?
Is why some people ends up in hell on earth.

He will change; she will change is the reason some people landed themselves in bad marriages.

Although some carefully selected still cries because they brought in the pretending story that later unfolded into their true nature.

Marriage decision is a very delicate one.
We all need God's help because He sees what we don't see and knows what we don't know.

While we are still warming up: He knows the end from the beginning.

Challenges Hits at All
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Challenges falls to spread
Exempting non in all.

Hospital is not a taboo
But the diagnosis
That refers and cures.

Humans should be kind
With words

Just like
Coma demands sanity that heals
With words,
Not the insanity that mars
With words.

Mocking the challenged is like laughing
At someone whose car broke down
On the way when you haven't reached
Your destination.

Beautiful life cares;
Challenges come and go.

Grooming Endeavours
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

As a child, I saw people being criticized because of their various endeavours: the society sees lawyers, doctors and certain white-collar jobs as the only dignified jobs.

Although some lawyers and professors could barely feed then but respected in their professions.

Most youths didn't help matters but thank God, their eyes are open to the beautiful reality. They have gone ahead to garnish most of the jobs they detest to suit themselves, thereby showcasing it with style.

A certain woman called me recently and asked: "what do you do for a living now?" I replied, "I am a sales representative." She started hooting like a shunting trailer. I asked myself one thing, so some people still has this mentality of looking down on people because of their endeavours?

I started representing reputable foreign companies from teenagehood. Travelling from state to state, showcasing some brands wherein business owners welcomes me with open arms. I wasn't doing it for the money then but for the fact that I make great sales for my company even when the products are new. It was fun for me.

Business minded, don't care how some people look at me until I went back to school. As a diploma student, you can hardly catch me in class if the lecturer is not there but nearby, transacting from one company to the other. Until I decided to focus fully at a certain level in my degree days.

I wonder why anyone should be ashamed of his or her endeavour. I also wonder why anyone should mock someone because of his or her endeavour. Success could be very mysterious. The endeavour one left behind today could break another through, tomorrow.

If you are a mechanic, tailor, carpenter, Barrister, doctor, teacher, engineer, contractor, trader, sales representative and etcetera. Be proud of what you do.

What Should Be Called
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

When he calls himself a god
Who couldn't be reached.
Call yourself a vessel
Who should be honoured.
This poet asseverates that individuals should present themselves the way they want to be treated.

Rescued
From destruction.

Angels
On guard.

Defended
By His Words

Sealed
In His Blood.

Makes me

Thanks For The Main
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

You are not yet married
But you are a graduate:
Give thanks.

You are not yet married
But you have money:
Be thankful.

You are not yet married
But you are healthy:
Appreciate God.

You are not yet married
But you are not raving mad:
Be filled with thanks.

You are not yet married
But you are alive:
Thankfully trash that frustrative thought
because it is the living that gets married.

You are not yet married
And they are bent to frustrate you
Excuse yourself from they all
And be a happy being.

Before It Becomes Late
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Love me now that I am living
Than to write the epistles that doesn't exist
When I am gone.

Help me now that I am in need
Than to offer a piece that might not be noticed
When I am made.

Save me when you can
Because life can be an ordinary shadow.

Precious Children
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Born precious
In a world you don't know
What will become of you.

And cherished
At some points.

However tossed you become
You are nothing but precious
To various families!
This poet avers how precious children are to various families with the intention of wishing them: "happy children's day."

Israel Israel
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

I love the land called Israel
Cause I'm a physical manifestation
Of thy gene.

Come rain come shine
I cannot be detached from thee
Because I am thine.

A seed sprouted from afar
Yet unto honour.

Despise me not
When I see thee:
To feel thee more
When I view thee.

Yeah are mine,
I am yours:
Let not the distance
In view separate us.
This poem portrays the mood and view of a child who traced her root.

June June
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

June, June!
Jolly me as you go,
Breaking throughs in your flows,
Keeping me in your peace
As jolly good fellows
Sniffing around for jolly good vibes.
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

There comes a time in some people's lives when they think life *****. All they need from you is care, support and etcetera. You can keep that mockery to yourself if you intend to mock them. Sideline that blame you intend to apportion and seek for rescue.

If you happens to be a victim of mental illness: wake up from your mental ill state and look forward.

There is a brighter side of life
You will surely wake upon
Once you conquer.

You Are Free
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

You are free
To love or hate me
Because that doesn't define me.

You are free
To smile or repel with a scowl
Because life left us with so many options.

You are free
To appoint or disappoint me
Because there are many opportunities waiting for me to harness.

You are free
To agree or disagree with me
Because opinion offers itself as a freelance sailor.

Heroic Health Workers
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

To all the health workers out there
Who placed their lives on the line for this challenge:
you are like the soldiers, fighting and falling for their nations.
You would have chosen to resign;
You would have chosen to go on leave
But you stayed to put in your best...

We just want to say: "thank you!"

The Hospital
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Standing as a gate
Open wide for various beings
Seeking ****** remedy
In different wards,
Accommodating janitors
Who cares to care.

Erected as welcoming structures
During emergencies and non
Administering to payments made.

As flashes of Whites
Goes round to care
With the options of handing over
At the time appointed.
Singing lullaby with series
Of administrations through
Syringes and plates of tablets
Giving instructions.

The hospital:
Thou art so accommodating...
Passing human and spirits
To various destinations
As thy size speaks ginormous
Expanding in wards,
Treating cases of empathy
With faithful expectations.

Victimized Hunter
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

There is a limit to every fear:

The limit you chase most individuals
Wherein they look behind and see there is no where else to run to but to stand and fight.

Be careful, because that moment,
You the hunter will fall victim of what you have done to them over the years.

The respect they have for you will be no more; all they want is their freedom and happiness.

The names you called them will pounce on you.

Because in every broken being, there is an inner strength they are yet to discover and if they uphold it: the unimaginable plays the keyboard of game up for them.

While you still have the time: be nice.

Unknown to Who
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

While some men deceitfully comes to lewdly hit and run with some ladies who equally responds with the intention of procreation unknown to the donors.
These men goes with the shoulders of "I have done it" and results to gossipry with their cliques.
Whereas the ladies in question goes on celebrating the beauty of the seeds growing inside their wombs.
If the men involved finds out about the aforementioned and expects to be chased about for marriage: they might end up wasting their time especially when the ladies concerned are financially enabled.

The table doesn't revolve around one option anymore.
The motive behind the acts speaks in riddles these days.
Let's learn to respect ourselves.

Thou Art Watching
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Locate the people you want to help
And reach out to them directly
Because that bridge you are constructing
Might not cross you over
Neither will your subjects smell it's footage:
Thou has seen it;
Thou art watching.

You brought the money
To be used for all:
They told you your people
Isn't good enough to partake of it:
Thou has seen it;
Thou art watching.

When they are not representing one sided
Why should they be one sided?
Thou has seen it;
Thou art watching.

You brought the money
But they are using it to buy the favour
Of the upcoming what you thought:
Thou has seen it;
Thou art watching.

Together We Can
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Churches, organisations, individuals, etc.
If the government fails us, let's not fail ourselves. Extend a helping hand to:
whosoever you can,
In whichever way you can
And wherever you can ( people are helping already) to assuage this challenge.

If they offer us a lip service relief;
let's offer ourselves the real service relief based on our capacities; from where we art.
We will not sink in this.

Together we can walk out of this challenge, leaving the scars to fade.

When they are creative and focused:
Support them.

Playfully discovered fulfillment
In skills:

On the streets of carelessness
Some findeth skills;
In the rooms of focuseness
Some findeth skills
Which accompanied some naturally.

Support drives so fast
When honing makes it clear:
Clearing the ways of diligence
That keeps every talented child going.

If You Can

You might end up pacifying the anger

If you can be able to relate:
You might break the silence of bitterness
Standing against you.

If you can be able to relate:
You might ward off some senseless wars
Unknown to you.

If you can be able to relate:
You might end up enjoying your peace
Not knowing how it's being settled.

If you can be able to relate:
You might see the root cause of it all
Being at ease.

What Do You Expect
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

We were locked down in hunger;
Left to survive in pain:
What do you expect?

We weren't considered afterwards...
Mandated to pay duties, out of the blue:
What do you expect?

We heard of the bill notes
That were meant to locate our accounts
Dancing through the fire unseen:
What do you expect?

We left the down unlocked
Still in the drama that caused us pain:
What do you expect?

A pacified beings or
An irate crowd?
The unexpected unlocked itself.
The poet declares the reason for the peaceful protesters who took to the streets to make their voice heard.

Unknown Awe
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

We were left unaided
But it turned unjellied:
Breaking our walls;
Distorting our peace.

Who could have known
That our hospitals would
Be politically passive?
Let alone, active.

Maybe you knew
But they wouldn't have imagined it
Because it is an awe
That showcased itself unknowingly.
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

It might be very convenient for some people, which I haven't come to condemn but at the end, let's ask ourselves some questions.

Using rice to repair a phone might be rapid, amazing or whatever. The fact is this: there is a give and take between the subject and the object.

What transpires between that grains of rice and the phone is like liposuction. Meaning that it took something from the phone which is not good for consumption.
I haven't said that you should stop repairing your phones with rice. No! Choose between taking your phones for repairs or discard the grains of rice after your experiment in other not to endanger your lives and that of your households.

There is a word called "accumulation" which stores the damage without your knowledge and then suddenly releases it as a critical condition.

Beforeness
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Before them:
The culprits parades around
Without fear or struggle
Because they are strangely backed.

They divert the fingers meant to be pointed
At the culprits to the innocents
Whom they think will do nothing
But cry for help.

When the main thing sits before them
Chatting and snoozing around
For the next mission, accomplished in assurance.

What is Love
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Love is a feel you explore without regrets:
A sense you forget when you love foolishly;
A cheque you sign as if you are Charity.
A state you wish it never ends.
A caption of a thousand years, sparkling good and fine.
Love is a straight A's: omitting its errors.
Love is what you give and take.

The Conjugal Band

The pains: we might bear
Like candle wax that melts away.

The route of love we plied
Overshows the fault that sinks.

Your light I need to wax
Stronger with you.

The band on our fingers declares us
Free to feel.

The isle, the guests
Ends a day

But you and I
Can sweet to bliss.
Written to describe a particular photograph. It's a response.

Lock Down Hunger

Are they locked down
To die of hunger
Or curb Covid whose nineteen went viral?

Street of crime
Some people went
To tame the worms digesting meals.

Lock down! Lock down!

To crush the weakness ruining their strengths

Because drugs works with nutrition
Which cannot be ignored
Except you want to replace a harm with another harm.

Driving Madness
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

"I know my right. We know."
But it is more reasonable for you to give way for the major madness on the roads.

While driving, some people gets carried away by the mechanism while some are more cautious.
When a reasonable man sees raw madness on the route, he tries as much as he can to avoid it, even if he is on a first class right. It is only a living being that talks about right.
When the unexpected takes over the scene: drive for your life. Don't allow it to happen if you can control it. To avoid obstructing the route with accidental grammar which includes the aforementioned.
Forget right, be at fault to stay alive.

The Powerful Village
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

The powerful village
Who looks deserted
And accommodates more.

This village has more children
Outside her province
Toiling for survival each day.

She keeps calm and expectant
Wishing to see them at the end
of the year.

Some pays homage to her
While some calls her evil
And still denies the fact that they ever came in contact with her
Thereby calling a civilized soil
Sweet mother.

This powerful village produces
the best anywhere
And still looks timid in some places.

The powerful village where all
and sundries comes from
Who still accommodates them
at the point of retirement

Even when she had been neglected
She still welcomes them at the
point of exit
Giving them a comfortable
Portion of farewell.

The Humanity Saga
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Bad representatives of humanity...

They are like our guardians
But they treat us like
Their serviles:
Bad representatives of humanity...

Lies and deceit flows in their speech
As if they no more feel ashamed:
Bad representatives of humanity...

Who could have imagined that
The heart of a nation could be broken
On a peaceful note singing her song at a toll?
Bad representatives of humanity...

To the extent that green kept it
Memorably reserved on a white whose
Twentieth doubly flagged it on an
Evergreen doubled twenty for October.
Bad representatives of humanity..

What more is up?
Peace is a good representative:
Can't we live in it?
Love is a good representative:
Can't it be shared abroad in our midst?

We want to be treated better.
Are we asking for too much?

The In-depth
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

Sacrifices we make in life has in-depth meaning we might not comprehend:
Some keeps us healthily elongated.
Some opens up strange financial doors for us.
Some rescues us from destruction.
Some speaks good to our generations unborn.
Some keeps us preserved.
Some tears down the walls of barriers standing against us.
Some pays our bills at ease.
Some honours us when we least expected.

That is the power of sacrifice: it keeps speaking even when we are not aware.

It's A Girl
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

She cried before she started smiling
On a date wherein she came forth.
Becoming so many things as time goes on
Yielding to the will of her Maker

As:

Poetry became her forte;
Dancing became her fun;
Music became her lost;
Yet artistically performs in art
Leaving no stone unturned
In the world of fashion creating beautifully
As if creativity accompanied her here
Because she is made of more...

Touching lives her way;
Growing wings without fear
In the midst of fierce challenges
Looking forward.

Unbeatably making waves in places
Yet to be unfolded.
Sealed lips: breaking limits.

Jenny, the unbeatable Soter
Rolls in Royce wherein no fear is
To sink the insurmountable levels of servitude
Playing pranks: as if life belongs to them.

19th comes every January to celebrate her
Even in the luxury of 2020 whose echoes
Resounds: "happy birthday Jennifersoter!"
This poet aesthetically avers her day.
By Jennifersoter Ezewi

We were separated by diverse
colours from different nations
whose ethnicity and languages
immune their walls.

Compelled by oneness of
unification which checks and
balances our pride.

The strength of our gifts and wealth speaks louder in the affairs of our economy standing straight to define our scope.

When pride calleth, purity
defineth, thereby sanctifying the
proximity of defence between us all.

Oh God of impossible cases!
Save our nations from this deadly pandemic called corona virus.

Come to our aid and show yourself mighty
In this time of trouble
And take your glory in full.

We humbly bow to you
Because you said we should call
Upon you in the days of trouble
And you will answer.

Let your name be glorified
As you go through our nations
With your carriage of mercy:
Showing yourself mighty
In this impossible case.

Nullify these massive death grip
Ravaging the lives you created:
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
The Son of The Living God!
Amen!
For the nations!
