I fear no evil
I see no evil
I hear no evil
****** is just a word
Family is overrated
Infact,it makes no sense
Whether I wish to be gay or bisexual,
It's upon me, after all it's my life
Culture is just a fallacy
I can be all I wish to be
Man is a free creation
Man is made with will and freedom
Age is just a number
The heart wants what it wants
Thoughts of a Dead Conscience
Emanzi Ian Jan 2022
People be,
People be talking I'll about you behind your back but in your face they are smiling
They want you dead but you're vibing
Losses and losses,for you,they are wishing
But when you are winning,in your face,they are jubilating
Meanwhile,deep down,they are dieing
They wish you could be sinking
Evil and envy are relatives
In reality,all they wish for you is negatives
Fake smiles and fake hugs
Pretence,faking and acting
To their cold hearts, your wins are hurting
They don't really love you,they just be acting
People be faking
Fake-loving
People be evil,acting saintly
Yet innocently,we give out our love to them so insanely
People be so undeserving, yet acting so entitled
People be wolves in sheep's clothing
Loyalty is rare
Anytime, the wolves might devour you,beware
Closely watch when you offer your everything
People be fake-loving

People be,
People be hurting
Their hearts are bruised,
They are bleeding
Yet for their love, sometimes we are pleading
You can't give what you don't have
Relate with such a human and it's from such a hurt heart, they'll pick something like love to share with you
We give what we have
Hurt people,hurt people
Let's all learn to share some love
The world is gradually being deprived of love
We need more love
War here,war over there
People be hurting
Let's share some love
The world needs more love
I love love and love to be loved,
But with whom am I gonna enjoy this love?!
Yet the world is gradually but steadily being deprived of love!!

People be,
People be so hopeless
Their troubles are countless
The prayers for their needs to the Almighty are also countless
But still,they don't feel blessed
Some still feel cursed
No Wonder,they act so reckless
Her body,to her is a shop
To him, his body is made out of metal
They both use their bodies for survival
They need revival
But with the way they are entrenched in their vices,only divine intervention will be their redemption
Their lifestyle so dire,all because of their life condition

People be wishing
For a change of life they be wishing
People be.

The pain of being in pain and then you land into trouble
They slept on empty stomachs,and the next day,the son is arrested and locked up
He has been caught up in this,all in pursuit for a meal for himself and maybe some remainder to spare for home
The mother has no other source of income apart from doing small odd jobs on the village
The small wages she earns can hardly afford her all the basics
But despite that,she still has to take care of the family
And now she has to spare all of it to bail him out
And his siblings will have to skip the day's meals
The father left them,for he felt they were too much of a responsibility
And now the family situation is a calamity.

This other one drinks to numb her pain
The 'morning dose' kick-starts the day and she goes on through it
She sells her body to fend for the basics
Sometimes,she does it to just get a little something to quench her unquenchable yearning for the drink
But many a time, it's to fend for her 2 kids, whose fathers she's not aware of
Today,she just found out that she's *** positive

The Pangs of poverty
Emanzi Ian Jan 2022
I am that flower that sprouted through concrete and blossomed
My attitude is strong like for a Shaka Zulu warrior
My heart repels fear
Demeanour of a beast
Like fine gold,I triumphed through the furnace
Like ice,my words chill flames of hell fire
Am a conquerer,through all trials and tribulations,I'll sail,only to rise higher
I was made for greatness,no matter the setbacks,I won't give up
I won't tire
At my final destination,I long to arrive
The throne of success,I must achieve
It's within reach,so I believe

I am that flower that sprouted through concrete and blossomed
Life is a journey of constant lessons, this,I have fathomed
Every setback is a comeback,I won't hold back
Hit me,kick me,with a herd of stallions, trample upon me,but still,I will rise
And still,a new life lesson,I'll realise
When I finally begin winning,the minds of doubters,I'll paralyze
Throw lemons at me,and out of them,I'll make lemonade
Negative energies,I blast like a grenade
With impunity,soil my reputation
But am a rare creation
And my gifts,my maker made with precision
Heart of stone,no,I won't be hurt
For,even then,my share remains clear-cut
Am cut from from a special cloth, uniqueness is what my designer intended
With the average,my breed can't be blended
And all this,an average mind can't comprehend

I am that flower that sprouted through concrete and blossomed
Concrete flower
That flower that sprouted through concrete

We all are uniquely gifted with talents,mine manifests in words
I can craft words to slit a throat like a sword
Well-thought out,my words can make milk go sour
I can craft words to startle a bear our of hibernation
My words can dance in the air
My words can levitate
I do not need to imitate
For,this am blessed with, it's in my stitching
It came with no teaching
My words shall surely place me at table with Kings and queens
Princes and princesses
Royalty,Nobel and the clergy
My words can shift moods like a switch
Nun to a *****
Sombre to sad,sad to hyper
My words can bite like a viper
By the power of the toungue,I can repair and restore burnt bridges
And from then on, they'll last for ages
Still,by the power of the toungue,no need for keys,
I can free caged birds from their cages
For sworn enemies,I can turn pages
And from then on, they'll shake hands and share hugs for ages

Poet and his poetry
Emanzi Ian Jan 2022
Right from the start,
You received the news with rejection
And that hurt me to the bone
When I shed those tears, I knew that my baby wouldn't be born
When you finally revealed that it was already done,
I felt my heart sink
But still,I wanted to be with you
Even when I was weighing the truth of all you had previously told me
I was blinded and didn't wish to have my sight restored
For,your charm had put me under a spell

He didn't live to see the sun
Emanzi Ian Jan 2022
Maybe we are meant to be
Maybe we are just messing around
with each other and this will be nomore before the new day comes
I feel I want to be with you,but my fears keep bringing up doubts in my mind
I was in a kind of comfortable state before I met you,with my singleness
You came through and revived my heart and gave me all this excitment
I think of pulling back abit just to rethink all what we are experiencing together
Just a few days without a call or text and it makes you feel like maybe am gone
Yet within those few days,you are constantly on my mind
I am weighing in on all the options and hoping that this only gets better
How I wish I could just find the perfect words to exactly express what I feel for you and how I feel about the way you make me feel loved
I kinda doubt your loyalty over a reason I don't even have yet I think you are easy to trust
But all I know and am sure about is that am ready to be with you through whatever ups and downs
This what we are willing to build with each other is something am ready to see to it that it blossoms
