I haven’t been seen in space
and cannot be seen on faces
Because I dictate the pace in races
And stand distinct in places

Am not seen when dressed up
Neither I’m I seen on make-ups
But I’m the peace that men hold
Not what they tend to behold

Although silent, I’m heard aloud
And often I’m hidden but seen around
I’ve stayed up high as lighter
Shining only always brighter

I’m beauty not on the outside
But that right on the inside
I’m therefore beautiful,
Because I’ve got character

On praying i kneel
A dream what to be
the life i want so free
my love oh yet to see

Like feathers from two birds
duet love songs are heard
but twisted in history
is the borrowed mystery

who mirrors and out reflection
debt only the deflection
a price there is that may
my all could not but pay

the fate less strong
faithful done wrong
where art thou beloved?
i pray indeed my love.

Sequel to my poem " Snap shot"

Like gun, I hold my bone tight
Overwhelm with power I’m high
Fierce and angry at other dogs I bark
And to their heels I see their backs

As talent, I guide my bone jealously
Like egg, I carry it gently
Prepared and planning others await my fall
Ready to attack they come for all

Distracted I’m engaged I n battle
As though bitten by a rattle
My bone is lost to a third – party
Although not a part, he’s gone to party

Down cast I go in dismay
My bone has gone with no pay
And tomorrow too late for amend
‘Cause, my bone has come to an end.

I saw two of my puppies fighting and it inspired this poem. Stay focused on your course or dreams in life and stun distractions, you can attain much more than your life goals.

Toasted on the board
so unnoticed as bored
i am given as a gambit
to be but a bait

Bait with a void
that defines avoid
we are the soldiers
we know are sold outs

I admire the king
desire to be queen
require my shield to be seen
and acquire no shied in me

The warrior, the conqueror
the pawn i was
a queen i am
Kingdom the finish line

What is here so fine!
    What does Nigeria define?
    True democracy?
    Mere literacy?

    Good old days we praise
    Today's faith we raise
    Happiest beings on earth
    Survivors, yes from birth

    The world's awaited invention
    Four Hundred and Nineteen(419) injections
    Immune is the world, oh corruption!
    Awareness a skin deep innovation

    Rich geographical virtues
    Hospitable family values
    Wealth, milk and honey
    Our destiny how sunny

    Our hope the pride we know
    Fulfilments the future we show
    I applaud greatness oh!!
    I hate Nigeria, No!!!
