inseperable
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
I'll walk a million miles,
In the rain and cold,
Overcoming besetting trials,
Just to get to you;

I'll sail across the sea,
Even if my boat will break,
No Matter what may be,
I'll get to you;

i'll fly across the sky,
In a stormy weather,
Even if i'll have to cry,
I must get to you;

i'll stay awake at night,
No matter what it cost,
Even if i have to fight,
I will get to you.

They say "a spell is on my mind-
it is all a waste of time,
And that my love is blind"
I must get to you;

No matter how long the time,
No matter how far you are,
If i'll spend the last dime,
I must get to you.

You are the pillar of my heart,
The fragrance of my life,
Without you i'll fall apart,
I certainly must get to you.

This girl that i'll mention,
Love her beyond expression;
They said it's a mixed reaction,
I say it's their misconception.

She came during my worst depression,
Showed me true love and affection;
saw life in a whole new dimension,
No doubt i have chosen a true direction.

We've disagreed in certain situations,
But had sweet reconcilation,
Even in sour emotion,
We maintained undeterred attraction.

Never considered seperation,
Repulsing intermittent distraction,
No rules, no regulations,
But respect and honest devotion.

A product of supreme creation,
No doubt we're a perfect combination,
May the almighty strengthen our union,
And increase us beyond measurable proportion.

There are friends who i miss so much,
it's hard to go on in life without thinking of them;
there were days in which we had fun,
so much that these days do not feel the same.

There was a world which i had to let go of,
inorder to really enjoy this new one;
and paths that i left far behind,
in order to make a vital turn.

Although, i don't alway get the company i want,
but i often get the company i need;
even though i get a little bit confused attimes,
i still allow my spirit to take the lead.

If you learn to be alone,
you won't feel too lonely when your friends are gone;
and when they leave-not based on a fight,
be sure that one day they will return.

It could be that they were to busy in search of a better life,
therefore, it is expected that you do the same;
so that when you all come back together to re-unite,
it will be celebration of success without shame.

Be happy if you are still moving on;
Let the pace not be in your feet but your heart,
so that when conditions are good or bad,
you can alway choose to be slow or fast.

Be ready for a change everytime,
for this is exactly what life is about.
and don't remain for too long where you are,
it is best you take a trip from north to south.

We could loose a loved one along the way,
but when they are gone, they ar gone;
And even though we hurt or smile behind them,
come on guys, life will still go on.

Therefore, when a man gets older,
his dependency becomes thinner,
his responsibilities increases further,
while it's expected of him to think better.

lamentation
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
I wrote a song for the world,
reminding it of it's god.
A song for the young and old,
a song for the timid and bold;

a no ordinary song,
one that makes men belong,
a letter straight from hell,
having no truth to tell;

it could revive you
and could confuse you,
keeping you bond for years,
and bringing you close to tears;

Deep inside i am scared
of the visions in my head.
Of a world that has gone wrong
all because of one song;

Parents gone astray,
friends mock and betray,
pastors cheat and fornicate,
leaders lie and dictate;

i've given men what they want,
a path to where they will be burnt;
and though they cry, they will remain,
in a lifetime of discord and pain.

blue dream
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
The music in my head-
it's in the blowing of the wind against a leaf,
it awakens the dead,
it eases the burden of grief.

The music in my heart-
it's in the smashing of the waves against the shore,
it unites good and bad,
it relieves the pain in a broken wound and sore.

The music in my life-
it is in every tinkling sound,
it takes away strife,
it lifts the fallen off the ground.

The music in my mind-
it's in the chirping of the bird,
it is vision to the blind,
and everlasting life to the dead.

The music that i hear-
it's neither mine nor thine,
it is everywhere,
so let us wine and dine.

They grow in unattractive places,
yet, they are most adored.
Like a lilly you are darling,
but you remain disturbed.

I will go down the steepest valley,
just to pick you in my arm;
i will lie next to you all day,
to have a feel of your charm.

It hurts when you cry,
cos you look broken and in pain:
why don't you smile always,
so i can feel better and sane.

What do you hide behind your looks?
Is it happiness or is it pain?
Why do you still hurt badly?
Is it of any use or any gain?

Let go of the world behind you,
seek for the goodness ahead.
Find love in the space around you
and clear your cloudy head.

in the end
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
There is a world beyond the sky
and beneath the earth;
a place where a man's soul
goes to suffer or rest.

There is a vase which carries
the curse of the world,
a vase called flesh which
men often worship as god.

There is a time when a brave
man becomes a coward;
a time when all fails
and he cries aloud.

There is a moment of truth
which we're all afraid to face;
a moment that reveals our secrets
and takes away our praise.

There is a mirror
in front of everyone,
that lies about the
true identity of any man.

There comes a time
when neither man nor trees will stand;
a time when everything dies
and man becomes sand.

There are kingdoms buried
underneath our feet;
some of which were
conquered by deceit.

There is a reason why
you and I are here;
a reason that should be,
to build and repair.

There is a world beyond the sky
and beneath the earth;
a place where having done well,
you and I should find rest.

What if a song was written for you?
Would it convey my message to you?
Would it put a smile on your face?
Or wipe off your pain without trace?

What if i said this world is yours?
And that angels would take you on tours?
Across kingdoms without restricting laws?
For there is no special world like yours.

What if i told you about your smile?
And how you do it with grace and style.
Or said that you are a special design,
and that with you life is fine?

What if every night was blue?
And the stars bow to you?
While the moon glows in your eyes,
and surrounding you are fire flies?.

Come let us swim my beloved friends,
let us swim into the depths of the sea,
let us spread our fins
and expand our gills in ecstacy;

come on let us fly my beloved friends,
let us fly from tower tops to tower tops,
let us soar like the eagle,
overcoming the downs and embracing the ups;

come on let us crawl my beloved friends,
let us crawl into the woods,
where we can find rest in moist places
and food for our young beneath the roots;

come on let us grow my beloved friends,
let us grow as tall as we should,
let us give scent to the world,
and shelter to the bad and good;

come on let us walk my beloved friends,
let us walk to uncommon places,
where we can be challenged to do better,
and hopefully find love among races;

come on my beloved friends,
let us do what we do best,
for this is what we were made to do-
to be fulfilled and find rest.

Out of the earth's belly i was born,
into the earth's  belly i shall return.
      From the belly of one of this present day,
      to the belly of one of an ancient day.
From the belly of one whom i grew to know,
to the belly of one whom i shall never know.
      Many rejoiced as i came out crying-
      quietly shall i return as they do the crying.
Weak and dependent is the state in which i came,
I only hope that i will return the same.

time
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
Time changes everything.
It changes who i am and who you are;
It leads us to moments of unity and moments of division;
It leads us to moments of enmity and moments of friendship;
time mends and time heals wounds;
time introduces new things
and it takes the old ones away;
time is good when used productively;
time is a broad field on which so much can be done;
it is a tiny palm on which very few words could be written;
time is everlasting but it ends here.

a debt paid
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
In the birth of our world,
These creatures emerged violently,
In preparation for heinous deeds,
To be carried out viciously.

An uproar from the dark pit
Like the sound of a billion tornadoes,
Quaking the earth from end to end
With disturbing alarming tones.

The king sat on the throne,
Having messengers scamper around him
While he issued orders
According to a blood thirsty scheme.

Thick clouds gather,
Lightening bolts appear and dissappear,
The sunlight blackened,
Putting men in deep dispair.

An outflow of music-
A never been heard before,
Having such melodious charm
As to lighten and sucour.

But only for a moment
Until its original purpose achieved-
To blind and lead astray,
Those who trust and are deceived.

From whence cometh this fury?
Of what reason is such anger
Invested so much to the
Fulfilment of a wicked agenda?

Now comes the subtleness of a king,
Who is neither great nor small,
Holding out his golden scepter,
So that men would taste its gull.

With sweet voice he draws men close,
With open arms he gives men all,
But one thing he kept from them,
The truth that should keep them tall.

Off goes the adnihilos
From the throne of slavery
To fulfil the oath
Of bringing men to misery.

Here he stands upon the hill
With outstretched hands,
Claiming ownership of the universe,
Its kingdoms and lands.

Merry making here and there,
Fortunes lost to drunkeness,
Passionate pleasures being fulfilled,
In extravagance and wantonness.

Now is the war,
The streets are desolate,
The survival of any
Isn't by strength but faith.

Bright gory eyes lighting the dark,
Silent progressive steps emerging from afar.
The wailings of the bruised and maimed-
The smell of rotten blood like tar.

Hiding behind a wall,
Watching our open wounds bleed.
Skulls and bones scattered around-
Remnants of the dragons feed.

The kids around me-
Shivering in the cold.
Some have lost a limb or more
And have lost their old.

Maggot crawling up my legs,
Heading towards my sore.
The stench of my rotten bone-
My sacrifice to this war.

I assure this kids of safety-
A lie from my darkened heart;
In hours we'll all be dead,
And our members torn apart.

Within the ocean sits mother,
Or that's what she is called.
Dozens of maidens surround her,
Worshiping her as their lord.

Unto these we sold our seed,
Through lusting and whoremonging.
We could not but cast a second glance,
Which has ****** us for everlasting.

The kids are gone,
Smell of fresh blood fills the air.
The grunt of the beast from behind-
My heart is filled with fear.

Didn't they scream atall?
Where could I have been?
Was I carried away by the beauty I saw?
The same which caused me to sin?

Then comes the requiem.
From the kings choir;
Hmm, a captivating symphony-
One everyone would admire.

"Come unto me my friends,
My lost but stolen ones;
Come unto me blind ones,
Let us drink and dance."

How close could inferno be?
The smell of its smoke fills the air.
Or could it be the breath of the dragon,
Staring at me from the rare?

Oh phosphorus,controller of venus,
You have wiped off paradise,
You have crept in cold places,
And have devised subtle lies.

You have searched deligently,
For a companion to share in your pain.
You have wept concerning our freedom,
Hoping that we loose so that you'll gain.

Oh hades, why betray thine inhabitants?
Through pain have they come to you.
As an abode to find rest.
But with a spear you pierce them through.

On my knees I go,
Too weak to stand on one leg,
Not that I bow to you,
Neither am I here to beg.

Black creatures gliding in the sky,
Too far to know what they really are;
Four-footed beasts staring from the dark,
Having eyes that twinkles like a star.

Candles lights glowing in the dark,
An indication that another still lives;
But who could possess such boldness
As to knowingly alert these thieves.

Aren't these the priests we once knew?
Shouldn't they be hunted at all cost?
What price could they have paid?
Maybe saving their lives by ensuring that ours is lost.

They have chosen dishonor in place of honor;
They have chosen slavery in place of freedom;
They once gave wise counsel to the confused;
oracles of the dark they have now become.

Now they drink and laugh at our downfall
Taking warmt from the fire place
Having maidens sit on their thighs-
Whoremonging in our worship place.

Oh the river of tears that flow
Prompted by my broken heart through weak eyes;
As I remember my folly and arrogance
Of rejecting love and one free sacrifice.

Oh how clearly I can now see;
How they made my body their abode.
I see how they took my soul,
Making me heartless and cold.

The darkness never ends;
The daylight will never come-
A sign that a government is gone
And a new one has come.

I remember the unprofitable riots and wars,
That caused men, women and children to bleed.
A fight for dominance, land and power-
An exhibition of strife, hatred and greed.

Where are the men of power?
Aren't they lamenting in belly of hades?
Where are the slave masters?
Aren't they also in the belly of hades?

Where are those kings, rulers and masters?
Who thought that their throne is a life time abode.
Where is their power to command one or the other?
Aren't they in the same place as the children they sold?

What is thy duty abaddon?
Is it to guard or torture?
Is it to ensure severe pain?
Or is it for us to suffer sore?

Where is the great babylon?
She was so beautiful,
No one stood against her-
She was so powerful.

Where are her children?
They were properly fed,
No one compared to them.
Today they lack bread.

Finally, I surrender myself,
To a battle I cannot win,
To him who rules now
To this evil being.

For I am dead anyway-
We have made him ruler anyway,
When we harkened to his command-
When we sinned and stayed astray.

I want to be a king,
Not the king who wants to boast with the title attached to his name;
Not the king to whom only exercise of power and authority is his aim;
Not the king whose work is only meant to bring him fame;
Not the king who will blame others but himself will he not blame.

I want to be a king,
The kind of king whose heart is broken when his people are in pain;
The kind of king who considers the comfort of his people as great gain;
The kind of king who will ensure that his people are never slain;
The king who will encourage love among his people but hate he will restrain.

I want to be a king,
Whose interest is to search diligently to find something vital to do in a man’s life;
A kind of king who will fight immorality and would not desire another man’s wife;
A kind of king who will encourage peace among his people by authorizing that they put away strife;
A king who could deprive himself of comfort if it means providing his people with a standard life.

I want to be a king,
The kind of king whose desire is not to be served but to serve;
The king who will not withhold the wage of the poor but pay every man exactly what he deserves;
The king who would rather die than see others starve;
The king who will not divert or misuse the funds in his nation’s reserve.

I want to be that king,
Who will win the trust of his people only by being trustworthy;
Who will place the interest and livelihood of his people firstly
That king who will always represent his people by acting and speaking justly;
The king who for the sake of the innocent, bring to judgement the guilty.

death-a common end
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
The coolness of the ocean breeze,
And long moments of peace;
there was laughter everywhere
and joy filled the air;

But who could ever know
that when the next wind will blow,
our joy would disappear
and sorrow would appear;

In every eye hung a tear
and in every heart a deepest fear,
for everyone knew
that this story isn't new;

everyone will drown-
when the boat sinks down
terrified by this,
everyone knelt down on their knees:

Moments ago,
were neither enemy nor foe,
kids played on every deck
and lovers leaned on a lover's neck;

yet moments ahead,
everyone would be dead,
even the young and old,
the timid and the bold;

At last only a few people will say,
"come on let us pray
that unto these souls should peace be,
And our hearts be cleansed of this tragedy";

In life,
put away thine strife,
accommodate one another
like a brother;

because when death comes,
it would be like the thorns,
that hurts both rich and poor-
it will knock at everyone's door;

It could be today or tomorrow,
in the midst of thine merry or sorrow;
only bear it in mind,
it comes in an unguarded time.

horror conquered
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
I have seen the blood of my loved ones, spilled on a dusty road;
Seen the fall of kings, powerful warriors and the bold;
The skin of mothers and little children, broken by cold;
The ancient landmarks of the fatherless, siezed and sold.

I have heard the cry of the homeless but no one there to save;
Heard the wailing of the deserted, seen the tears of the brave;
Many driven from their homelands, now hiding in caves;
And a father toiling night and day, treated as a slave.

I have heard of dreams of many, still unrealised;
The ****** daughters of priests, lured or defiled;
The goals of youths, swallowed up by pride;
And the future of generations, poorly discerned.

I have read government policies, unfavourable for the common man;
Heard of national resources, expended without concrete plans
Communities connive to eliminate a defenseless clan;
And a nation sold into modern slavery, by reckless polititians.

Many tears have droped, sweat and blood everywhere;
Many races have been run but the end seems nowhere near;
Many have waited hopelessly for a better year;
Many have stood up but crawled back for sake of fear.

A day will come when the oppressed will arise;
Like Martin Luther King Jr. did,though his blood was a price;
Like Nelson Mandela did, even though his act was termed a vice-
For the freedom of the enslaved and oppressed but the wicked's sudden demise.

A thousand years have come and gone,
A million more around the sun,
A molten magma flows from my soul,
My spirit and peace is what they stole;

a billion galaxies to travel in space,
The temple of dagon still in place,
They try to extract me before i wake,
My siLver cord, they try to break;

the waters above and the ones beneath,
And where exactly is mercy's seat,
I am torn and beaten each day,
The reason why i have gone astray;

six hundred and sixty-six years have gone,
Six hundred and sixty-six knees before the sun,
A beast external is now within,
I've been transformed-a new born being;

A single day and it's now occour,
A thousand years around my door,
I recall falling from the sky,
I 'm now given wings to fly;

A billion miles across this sea,
A journey towards eternity,
My angels waiting to carry me,
To a life of immortality.

sour adventure
uzzi obinna Oct 2015
Out in the sahara is a dusty sea,
shockingly,it's where you want to be,
Instead of right here sitting with me,
Another unexplained mystery.

Out there is a scorching heat,
Amazingly, you desire the heat,
Instead of here in my cozy seat,
Another mind rending filth.

A warm embrace to you wouldn't do,
Nor an unconditional love to you,
But the pleasures that are untrue,
That is sickening too.

on top of the mountain is lonely me,
Dreaming that you will return to me,
To rekindle our ecstasy,
O, what a fantasy.

Though torn and broken, i still care for u.
All because my love is true,
only return and i'll reach out to you,
For the value i still recognise in you.
