Molten Magma
There is nothing after no more
And no more after nothing
When a rock get crushed
When a mountain turns powder
When a bone is broken
When the baoba is fell
When monument burn to ashes
When the land rupture
Giving way to fiery fury
And chaotic chasm,
Then there is nothing after no more,
And no more after nothing
When the beginning takes off from the end
And the end from the beginning
And a poor soul at the receiving end of their tyranny,
Then there is nothing after no more,
And no more after nothing
When a poor soul had been poured
like a drink offering,
He becomes the cup and the drink,
He is a product of time immemorial and
disruptive transformation,
He becomes the fire and the ice,
The wind and the whirlwind,
He becomes the roaring thunder
And the thunder roaring
Argh,he becomes the molten magma,
Threatening the foundation of the cosmos
*Fell (transitive; to strike down,kill or destroy)

Circles of Peace,of careless abandon.
Circles of love,unadulterated agape.
Circles of sweet dreams and great intention.
Circles of brotherhood and kindred spirit
Circles of umbilical trust and faithful souls,
Circles of impactful influence
Circles,oh circles of camaraderie
Circles of joy,of gospel that gladdens,
Circles of brimful moments,
Circles of memorable times,
Concentric Circles of fulfillment,
In the middle thereof have I pitched my tent !

Be happy,
Just smile,
Don't forget to laugh out loud.
Don't scurry through life,
Take time to wait and stare,
Have no care,
Be happy,
Be your best.
Life does not debate your best.
Make your best.
And change the epic portion of your story
To a happy epilogue,
Live happily ever after.
Don't take your life.

Dark
For the night
is dark
And full of terror
But what do we
Say to the God of fear?

The night is young,
morrow's afar off.
Oh, there's time
Tick tock, tock tick
and the year has gone by
again.
Another season with
no bounty.
How long will you
squander the great
equalizer, oh how long?

The Almighty Curse;Ancestral Flaws!
A Tribute
To the great beyond,
we shall all go!
The pathof Sheol,
shall we all thread!
The land of darkness,
sojourn we must!
So great an unfaithful fate,
we must partake!
A yoke so severe,
we must bear!
A debt so great
we must pay!
In the fullness of time,
we shall revert to earth!
And heave the last sigh!
But we all want to befriend time
And wayfare the edge of eternity!
The eternal realm,
we all crave!
But the debt must be paid,
The curse must be bore,
Because the fruit had been eaten!

The Song of the DEAD
The Dirge is about to begin
The banjo is heard from afar off
The intermittent sound of Ìyá-Ìlù has arouse curiosity
The dead will begin the song at twilight,
And gyrate through the night
Because this would be their last feast,
After which they are muted forever!

The letter of the depressed soul
I always want to love life,
but it seems am an awful and unforgiving lover
And it seems life herself is grossly unfair to me,
Always frustrating my labour of love and very many commitments
I always get more than I want or ever deserves,
of the many struggles and pains that life serves
Maybe she forgot the concept of fair share
Or maybe others were made with iron
And I with soil.

Who can sing me the abridged version of the ancient songs so sweet,
Songs of victory,of feats so great,
Carve with passion and sealed with love,
Tales of greatness,of unabated doggedness in the dark face of tumultuous hailstorm!
But what song shall I leave in the
mouth of earthlings,to chew like the crispy lyrics of old,
Or would I just be a shadow of an ancient monument?
