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,**** 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 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 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.

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 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!

Oceans
In the deep;
In the midst of rivers of many waters
      I found myself

I sailed when the winds were turbulent
       And the waves rage

I set out on an unknown course
      Without a compass nor a map

I hurt comfort by leaving her zone
And  betraying her trust.

The bridge had fallen before my arrival
At the cross over point

Yea,I find no shelter from this paralyzing
           And contagious cold,
Neither do I find fire for warmth

I paid for a roasted chicken
   But I was served bile

I hunted earnestly for elephants
   But mongoose was all I got

Vinegar became the wine
I now savour,
And ammonia the perfume l wore

I sought for a companion
But fierce woes were those that
encompassed me

My peaceful haven became
An abode of lion and scorpion.

I became a victim of desires,
Thrown into the fire burning without sulphur
  In the name of passion,
And for the sake of the future .

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?

Visions that ripped the heart apart,
Dreams that made the soul a prisoner of passion,
     Visions that made the heart skip
And made the soul sighs.
The route that encumbers the spirit,
               And wearies the body
Dreams that made night a nightmare
    And daybreak an herculean task.
Visions that makes die
   And makes grow.
The envisioned life that requires Elephant as sacrifice and life's blood as drink offering
        Tell me this would be worth it.

To my lost fragrance,
My forgotten kingdom,
My stolen jewel,

I say goodbye,

To my lonely companion,
My friendless enemy,
My good bad buddy,
    
I say goodbye ,

To my lofty life,
And brimful days,
                                To my many laurels and accolades
I say goodbye

Maybe we shall meet again

A Choice; Life or Death
Life, Life,Life
Oh,life,
Life so precious oh, life!

     Oh, death!
     Thou art the harbinger of great sorrow,
You,a thief of joy,
  You exhibit callousness subtly!

Even in dire need nor abject poverty
Even in grave denial
And acute opposition,....

        In alienation and utter betrayal,
Aberration would it be,
         To ***** out your life
And give up the ghost.
It's not an option,
Give suicide no chance nor second thought.

Life game though tricky
And some scenario freaky,
Yea it will shatter us a little,
and tend to make us creaky,
But it will call for some period of tweaky
And in no time the darkness will varnish
The night will pass,
Ye,the cloud will disappear,
Lemon will then turn lemonade,
Grenade to pomegranate,
All strains will birth a huge harvest of grain
And all toil will be greatly rewarded,
If and only if we don't give up on life.

I may speak the language of heaven,
And have interpretations to every tongue,
I may give my wealth,all my accumulated assets to the poor,
I might even give my life, burning myself at stake,
I might have the voice of angels, all the components of orchestra in one body,
I might understand all mysteries,
operates in all the dimensions of the spirit, have access to all the portals of heaven unknown to man,
But there isn't an iota of love in me,
then am a clanging cymbal, that makes much noise and bound to fail,
Because,all things will fade, prophesies,revelations,gifts,graces,
Even Heaven and Earth will pass,
But love will never fail.It shall endure and remain forever.
