Don't try to!!!

Flickering flame stood stout
Dancing wildly  in the darkness
Like a star that glows up in the sky
My heart sings out its sorrow
Judging whether this is real

Real as a flying dragon?
Or built up on lies like a walking stone
Wild jaguar I am,  Refusing to be tamed with words
Only when am shown the shell,  will I believe the yolk is no more

Different stroke,  for different folk
With a bounty on my hairy head
I am not to be won,  like a trophy
Like a raging fire,  fighting for its prey
I fought, for my liberty

How do I blush, Like an overripe tomato?
When the eyes are as cold as ice
And the mouth as hot as lava
How do I sit or squat?,  when I -
Swallowed the mortar and the pestle

Embracing the reality
Am a soulless, three headed crayfish
Is it a reality,  that I doubt
But already instil in me,  never erasing
Like words engraved on tombstone

HAIKU OVERLOAD

So says the tree birds
Fly, fly,  and glide through the wind
Right errs,  kith and kin

Talk through the hat?,  No
I beat everyone hollow,  
With pearls of wisdom

Sour face filled sorrow
My nerve reeks with self disgust
Rolled over mats of pain

Rusty,  dipped in oil
Path lead to non savored quest
Unreal,  yet lethal

Duel not with me,  poet
My pen's tip never like yours
Mine do bled crimson

Hurt me,  love me more
Cease wallowing in pity
Break me till am dead

In bony fashion
"My version of tomorrow"
Live through thick and thin

When Life  gives you lemon, you make lemonade

A Duet By:
Thee Thermodrasly Khensil (south African)
Fuad Opeyemi (Nigerian)

When the worms cries out
And our stomach churn painfully
Life gave us more,  
All we do is move on,
wasted and rotten away,   are Africans
👈 Opeyemi 👉

Africa,Africa
We came from starvation
We have pride of working
That is why we were made slaves
Because when life its tough we handle it
👈 Thermodrasly 👉

we drip of sweats, Covered in mud
Surrounded by terrifying oceans
But we dig not further,  
We could have found more
Indeed,  life gave us lemon
👈 Opeyemi 👉

Our Ego wavers,  reeking of fear
Like stagnant water,  we sat
African,  we move not forward
Gold buried deep under
But lay down,  uncovered
👈 Opeyemi 👉

Someway some point life can be hard
Life its like a wheel that  rotates
Life needs wisdom
Life needs maturity
And that is what we lack,  Maturity
👈 Thermodrasly 👉

Sheltered under the shade of tranquil
Life throws fishes on our scrawny little hooks
Filling up the potbelly of ours,  Nature gives us more
Greed kicks in,  our mouse attempts to rob more of house owner's
Life then plunge us into hell, thrashed in the pit of dysphoria
👈 Opeyemi 👉

Theme : Darkest Pen
Genre: Dark poem

Hand itches to rip out my heart
Maybe,  I could tame my troubled soul
Couldn't bring my self to rest
My pen runs on my dark blood
And the cart rode on my bony wheels

Hurricane of depression -
Threatens to eat me whole
I fall onto its gnaws,
Biting off chunks on my dried bones
Leaving my hairy head hairless

I became a brother with sorrow
Eating on the same plate with grief
Covered with claws of pain
I cried out loud
"Take me to the land of the dead"

Anguish subdue my loving soul
Locking it in the freezer of agony
Dragged down to hell,
Washed away by flowing river of-
Regrets and throe

Opeyemi Fuad (Gemini)

Theme: "My Version Of Tomorrow"

The lion may roam in the jungle
The bird may fly alone in the sky
While I will be great
Carrying up the flag of my country
To a massive a stage
Which they never imagine
My version!!
👈Mr sophy👉

Oblivious of any danger
Never scurrying in daylight
With our head up high
And the shoulders not deflating
My version!!!
👈Gemini👉

Many may block my way to get there
While many may suffer me before I attain if
But no matter what you plant in the placenta
It will finally grow and liege the dark Pen
That's me!!
👈Mr sophy👉

Three square meal is secured
Having more to our fill
Our deer no longer afraid of hunter's headlight
Skin radiates of glory,  eyes shining bright
My version of tomorrow!
👈Gemini👉

My version will be a prodigious one
Flying around the world
Am born to make my country great
That's my version
👈Mr sophy👉

Youth sat behind high desk
Controlling the destiny of nation
The country at its best
And the fate of the economy restored
My version!!!
👈Gemini👉

My version is to be a ladder
And evident thy bad practice
practice  by bad people
Sooner or later I will get thy bus going
👈Mr sophy👉

Our cups filled up to the brim
Collar of our cloth,  non stained
Techs at its peak,  
Making up for our year of loss
Tomorrow!!
👈Gemini👉

My version is my country
And my country is my version
And I will definitely change thy races
To a better one
I promise!
THAT IS MY VERSION!!
👈Mr sophy👉

THEME:  INJUSTICE
A Duet by:
Hassan B. Hassan(Mr Sophy)
Opeyemi Fuad (Gemini)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

An unsung warrior I am
One that serve his homeland
Now left to wallow in shame
Betrayed,  with no treacle -
To my broken esteem
What an injustice!!
👈Gemini👉

We doff our hat to them
Rubbing and cleaning it with their hands
We attain them the power
But they all create new edition
No to injustice!!!
👈Mr sophy👉

Preserve the nation's flag
Yet,  thrown into cell
Never to see the sun rise
merry-ing with Legless rats
An unproved innocence
Government's injustice
👈Gemini👉

The baby cry out when put to bed
The dog cry out when given birth to
But we all cry out when the molecule changed
But no reaction took place
Why?
Let Justice reign!
👈Mr sophy👉

I thumbed down,  on the papers
Still,  my worth doesn't count
I served the government
With my heart and soul on the platter
Staked to uphold their stand
But wronged,  injustice!!
👈Gemini👉

We put down our lives to save theirs
Yet they flow us with their power
Oh!what an injustice
fox government  with fox Power
Justice reign!!!
👈Mr sophy👉

Thou did nothing
Than bruise our humanity
And rub it on our fresh wound,
With pepper of your injustice
Oh,  an insolence!!
Despite our sacred deeds
👈Gemini👉

Indigent we are today
richer we are tomorrow
They are to keep the flag flying
Yet they make the flag vapid
No to injustice!
No to fox government
Justice we want!!
👈Mr sophy👉

Sovereignty
©Gemini♊♊♊

When the wind still roar
And the sun eat the skin
With the fire licking their wounds
Hopefully,
I will be left standing

My partridge climbs,  sitting on ridges
With the moon hung over its crest
The winds drag the whisper of my name,
Closed to the entrance of the ear
For I will be sovereign

The birds clap their wings
Singing,  melodious tune with beats
We are but left to enjoy
But the waves of wreckage,
Strike their ill luck ship,
"What they deserve"
