Come around
For the darkness has vanished away
Come quickly around
For the barrier has finally gone

What a relief
The morning is here
I have open up my petals
Filled with nectars of your choice

The ever flowing juice I have in stock
Withoout you ,I may not be known
Your frequent visit help my growth
Oh butterfly come around

Once the day break
I will open up for you
Neither sun nor rainfall
Would restrain me from welcoming you

I always await you
Please do not tarry
So I wont worry
And be sorry.

The ever flowing juice I h

WHEN THE DEED IS DONE

Was anyone around then?
Was there no one to caution?
When the deed is been done
Was there a person,was there no one?

I wonder where?
All the wise one have gone to
When the deed was done

When was the deed done?
Was it done at night?
Was it in the morning?
Or broad noon day?
I still wonder when

I wonder if the moon was aware
And the glowing star
When all was done

Deep in the flesh it has passed
Before we realised
Down in the bone it has penetrated
What a pity
Oh! the deed has been done

What a decay
What a ruin
Hmm, who are to pay

What can we say?
When the keepers
Were found sleeping
What else can we say?
When they are the say

That heaven will fall
Is not one's problem
All of us will pay

What can we say then?
When the wise men are ignored
When the eyes of the watcher
Have been trampled on
And the strength of the strong ones
Have been quenched with threat

The deed is fast spread
The impact kills gradually
Yet solution is  unknown

The deed has been done
Remedy! Remedy!Remedy!
We all cry for
Restoration ! Restoration!
Our land cries for.

INDEPENDENCE
TIME OF THOUGHT: 01:15AM
DATE OF THOUGHT: 22/03/2010

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Our soul cries
The thought of 'it' strucked us all
We are indeed thirsty for freedom
We compromised not
And we fought it all

Whilst other folks were feasting  
Our thoughts are always of freedom
Freedom from here to other side

Through oneness of our souls
We payed the price at once
Do not be oblivious being
For our shadows are here
To hunt all enemies of our sacrifices
Day after day

Oh! let there be independence
Oh! let there be freedom
Our splased blood on the battle front cries

You have barter and trade
All we fought for
With our hot-bitter sweat
Our sweat shall avenge
Vengeance on all enemies of freedom
Vengeance we call for

Should you forget?
Do you want to go back to slavery?
Oh! you dont want to

Our dearly father sacrificed all
Mama was not scared
Even our dearly brother went away in the fight
And the helpless sister of ours is no more
Do remember
Our shadow are  still here

Let there be..................
Don't  enslave yourselves
Freedom is honey
Honey is sweet
And, the bee that gives honey equally stings.

I will not be moved
If the rain refuses to fall
I will not be moved
Even, if the sun refuses to shine

If the moon remains dark and red
I will not be moved
If the breez turns to a statue
I say I will not be moved

I will not  be moved
All because, they are for the main time
I say I will not be moved
It is a matter of time

I GAT MY FEARS

I GAT MY DEEPER FEARS
Indeed, I gat my deeper fears
The one I will live to see
Not at all of the past
But just of the future

The coming future
The unknown
Not of the day old
But of the old age

When strength will reduce;
Vision become blurred
Kneels disengage the body
And all smartness shall be gone

When a staff
Shall be my third leg
And the smooth radiant skin
Will be wrinkle

When all my youthful flares
Will bid goodbye while am here
When the hand of time will turn
My children to my nanny

Hmm, what a future to wait upon
When all black turns grey
When my age will grow old
And turn my lombs to banana stalk

Thanks to the eastern wind that blown
Now I know the truth
Tha your smile is just a plastic one
My trust you finally ransomed

Your target I realised now
Nothing else but my trust
And the bond we share
You just broken

Where to hide?
The cloud is crystal clear
What do you have to say?
You are unmasked

Pretender!
My trust you barter
With nothing but
Your fake and rehearsed smile

Now I know why your smiles
Does not reach your face
You naught
A betrayer
You bogey

Be your own counsel
What have you to say?
Can I still trust you?
If you were me, would you?

ROAMING RAVEN
Where from here
Art thou heading to?
On errand?
I believe
Oh! Wait and hear;
I have a message for 'them'
Branch up there
Tell them for us
That 'they' have done us evil
Tell 'them' their conscience is failing
And we are fainting of waiting
Tell 'them'
They vowed and swore
Vowed to wipe our tears
Swore to stand in for us all through seasons
Not to make it flow the more
Ask 'them' why they idle up there
While our land is wasting away
With our throat dried out of thirst
And our stomach twists daily of hunger
Tell 'them'
They are the leaf hoppers
That eats up our green land
Let them know
Their body language signals red-blood
And we are angry because of hunger
And they are cursed by what they have caused us.
Tell them
Their deeds makes our women a widow mother
And orphans of our innocent little children
They can never tell
What an hungry man will do
Because hunger is a  burning fire in the  bossom of an hungry man
To their conscience we awaits to judge them
This I beg you to deliver unto them
But please Raven, do not lead the wolf to them.
