"befitting" poems
What a historic day it is, that the birth of Motherland we celebrate, She beautifies herself with Independence and prides in freedom; Like a berry, Her seeds are nurtured and groomed to pomegranate, Its the birthday of Nigeria, a tectonic day of liberation from Edom. A day to celebrate Her sweet Autonomy and Ultimate Supremacy, An October 1st that marks an Independent and historic liberation; She prides herself in political Authority, Power and Predominancy, Its the born day of Motherland, a day of a feast worthy celebration. Let's all celebrate the birth of Nigeria, for Her age's a befitting feast, We must unite together as One Nation built on our Elite's landmark; This day calls for a jubilation to a lasting freedom and a vital feast, Motherland glows with honour and pride, for her birth's a hallmark. She fought like an Eagle with great might and valor, for the liberty Of Her future generation, and Hero's blood a fountain of freedom, Today we laud a Nigeria that birthed the Independence and stability Of a Sovereign Nation, that feeds no more on the putrid of Edom. Today marks the 56th born day of Nigeria, and still a Sovran Nation, It calls for a celebration, a befitting feast and a historic merriment; An October 1st that marks an Independent and historic liberation, Its Nigeria's Independence, a day to celebrate a sweet merriment. ©Vabec.

What the **** am I doing with my life There is no gain Would you like a large fry with that pain Thanks, come again She seems miserable and glowing Contoured on smile Forcing her to be happy Counter tops seem befitting tonight God, I lost my light Life seems to strip you naked Bare and thin, it's always in Lust will **** you dry Leaving you asking why She sweats smudged transgressions He pushes deeper in His ****** tension draws her sin She never was meant to win

In the greenest of our valleys By good angels tenanted, Once a fair and stately palace— Radiant palace—reared its head. In the monarch Thought’s dominion— It stood there! Never seraph spread a pinion Over fabric half so fair! Banners yellow, glorious, golden, On its roof did float and flow, (This—all this—was in the olden Time long ago), And every gentle air that dallied, In that sweet day, Along the ramparts plumed and pallid, A winged odor went away. Wanderers in that happy valley, Through two luminous windows, saw Spirits moving musically, To a lute’s well-tuned law, Bound about a throne where, sitting (Porphyrogene!) In state his glory well befitting, The ruler of the realm was seen. And all with pearl and ruby glowing Was the fair palace door, Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing, And sparkling evermore, A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty Was but to sing, In voices of surpassing beauty, The wit and wisdom of their king. But evil things, in robes of sorrow, Assailed the monarch’s high estate. (Ah, let us mourn!—for never morrow Shall dawn upon him desolate !) And round about his home the glory That blushed and bloomed, Is but a dim-remembered story Of the old time entombed. And travellers, now, within that valley, Through the red-litten windows see Vast forms, that move fantastically To a discordant melody, While, like a ghastly rapid river, Through the pale door A hideous throng rush out forever And laugh—but smile no more.

So you think you are a master of techniques of persuasion? You shallow pips-squeak, mediocrity is your mastery the obsequious hoi polloi that surround you are the pitiable averageness of conciliation Sophistry and subterfuge are your game of compromised facts syllogistic  arithmetic conceptualizing  doesn't make anything so your addition is flawed by your bungled bombast of banality and guile fortunately for you, your crowd will never study logic fortunately for you semi-literacy is  de rigueur You pompous swollen grandiose mass of hyperbolic gas Fear is what you offer, lies are what you sell your rhetorical flourish is as the stench of a waste  dump fetid, corpulent, fallow and febrile toxic half-truths, innuendos, ambiguities, conjecture and asinine aspersions comprise your specious fare, fostering rumours,  manipulating facts, you are the purported Biblical brood of vipers so extensively reviled against Your relevancy is attributable to the dull stupidity so profusely prevalent today Your "success" is the stuff of taint and treachery You'll probably choke to death on a stuck piece of poorly masticated  flesh so appropriate  and  befitting the demise of a professional liar

Empyrean Heaven, nearest to me, thy there~thee will find, beyond the heaven of the air and the heaven of the stars, no land, the incorporeal existence, carefree, know this you-human, an unpromised state is the causal residue, of actions between human to human, not thy god, irony delicious, earn it with every thought, instinct, act deserving of this, this “unpromised place” G. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was, declared Saint Basil, a certain condition, older than the birth of the world and proper to the supramundane powers, one beyond time, everlasting, without beginning or end.

I am an African, Just like you are, Here I am in Africa, From Africa, I may speak, Not your African language, But a cataclysmic African, Who speaks my African language, I am. An inferior African, You may as you do, Regard me, But still, African I am, African I cry, African I laugh, African I sing, African I live. You have made me feel ashamed, To be in this part of Africa, But never, Will you make me feel ashamed, To be African, Whatever derogatory labels, You may stick on me, No matter how unAfrican, Kwerekwere, Grigamba or whatever, But still, I will be an African, Even a much better one. African, Like my father, His fore fathers, And their forefathers, African, Just like I was yesterday, African, Just like I am now, African, That is what I will always be, And African, Forever. According to the author, we are all foreigners in any country on this earth, more like tenants. No one has any claim to any portion of this earth for it belongs to God. The barbaric, self-centered and intolerant demeanor we have recently witnessed in South Africa tells the story of mindless teaks on a dog that are claiming to own the dog and solidifies the myth that Africa is a dark continent and Africans are still stuck in the animal kingdom. How do we dispute what is becoming more of a fact that “you can take Africans from the bush but you can never take the bush out of Africans”. Fellow South Africans (the perpetrators), you have proved to be more disgusting than ***** and the most befitting place for you is the sewage dump that is far away from Africa. If there was another Africa that is not this Africa, I would have done the obvious and most logical thing – to completely disassociate my dignified African self from the brainless, destructive, inhuman thugs that you are. Today, I am an African who is dead ashamed to be African!

The attendees are told, in a manner befitting a high mass You have been finally set free, (Although, in truth, free is a very large and entirely vague word), And the message is sent forth from all comers in all corners: Vendor and visionary alike, German socialists who left university to ride boats for Greenpeace, First lieutenants doing their level best To appear at ease in civilian polos and khakis, But no matter the vessel, The message is still the same.   The tyranny of cables and storage space is dead, It is all but shouted from the lecterns, (Although it is noted, in small print and sotto voce That there are certain requirements In terms of hardware and licensing) And it is stated by Those Who Know In tones which neither brook nor invite contradiction, That they have surmounted, all Hadrian-like, The alpine divide separating mere data and magic. Two or three blocks down the street from the convention center, In a narrow storefront housing an exhibition of ether-only comics Which have broken the nettling constraints Of editors and syndication, There sits, under a somewhat opaque And slightly scratched piece of plexiglass, A yellowing comic strip of uncertain vintage, In which a frowzy cat, Free of the constraints of panels, gender, and standard grammar, Is the recipient of a mouse-tossed brick Whose flight, unfettered by physics, probablility, indeed time itself Ends striking its mark right between the x’s of the eyes The projectile itself an inexplicable alchemy Of confusion, mirth, frustration And the impossibility of an undeniably pure love.

Oh Bard, wielding a tool mighty and spiky Mightier than either the sword or rod, You reign as monarch in fancy’s domain Sketching life in all variety and mode Which with pain and strife fraught Or bright with gaiety and grace In finer yarn than the gossamer thread On a fabric of words in befitting verse You steal away from the noisy crowd Into the stillness of the cloistered cell To dwell with Fancy’s mystic charms Weaving downy dreams at will You recount forgotten tales of yore Of ****** battles won and lost, Of lovers united, amour defiled, Conjuring memories from abysmal past You hearken to the moans of lovelorn souls And sing of beauty in ditties fine Triggering sparks into flames grow In umpteen hearts that pine and whine Babbling with the brook rushing swift, Racing with the deer loping past, You wander into mysterious woods Where flowers, their richest odors cast Your ears intent on the song of birds That comes floating from the far off groves And the whir of cicadas on the bark of trees Breaking the calm of twilight eves Alone you saunter the stretching strands, Watching virulent breakers in fury heave Often your heart dancing with the tide And swinging with the rhythm of rising wave You feast on the gleam of the auburn sun And the speckled blue of the infinite skies Watching the day dying in flame And the night in a diadem of stars vies All that’s lovesome meets your eyes And commune to you in profuse delight Which you turn into rhyme and rhythm For the whole of mankind to devour and digest From your harp flow symphonies sweet Songs of longing, love and lust Of idyllic happiness, peace and bliss, Fuelling hearts with vigorous zest Though outlawed by the great sage of Greece, Branding the poet, aberrant and a fool Oft beneath the façade of his wayward thoughts, Lie heaps of wisdom for the discerning soul.

Van Gogh said he would rather die Of passion Than of boredom, And I wonder if that's why he shot himself. Because in a dark and mundane world, Where sometimes only dreamers See the light, It becomes a burden To live with passion. Oscar Wilde wrote, "A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." Maybe he understood Being a dreamer is a Blessing of a curse. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair From a dreamer's eyes, When I try to talk and say something But no one understands. And I breathe in- "They'll never understand"- Breathe out- "Could anyone understand?" And everyone's perplexed Because I cry When they say I should laugh, And I laugh When they say I should cry. Someone asked me "What's your favorite flower?" And when I said dandelions, They told me they were weeds. I said they are what you make them. If you allow them to flourish, They are flowers befitting a king. If you think of them as weeds, You won't see the beauty, You'll only see grass That won't grow, Not flowers to pick for mommy, Or what you need to make a flower crown, And sometimes, The more you try to rid yourself Of dandelions, The stronger they come back. Just like dreamers. If you see me As a **** You won't see the blessing In the curse. But if you see me As a flower, Delicate But stubborn, Ready to be nurtured, You'll see more of a blessing Than a curse.

Blessing of a Curse
It’s always Monday here with the hustle and bustle of the boisterous marketplace, Negotiations carried out over loudspeakers and hailers, It’s never without a fight. It’s always Monday here with the cries of half-dead swans and suffocating dolphins, Collateral damage is a word used loosely, Now that the main guy is here. Last night was a good night, befitting a Sunday’s catch, Rest is only for the lost and lonely on a lovely Sunday night. They brought them in, lined up in rows of ten, Nothing on but a white singlet and pretty underpants. They cowered in fright and tried to huddle, The whips flew as freely as the flies that came to meddle. It was not long till your turn came Pretty as a rosebud One man claimed Smooth as a rose’s petal Another one gleamed. It was all too real for you and you fell dead, in silence It’s always Monday here, someone said, She was so pretty... As they carried you on their back to dump you in the truck to throw away the body just outside the city. It’s always Monday here, said the man shaking his head, as he went to the playground to fish for another haul of fresh blood and good meat! It’s always Monday here... Someone said...

Always Monday
I read the book of Samuel I read the story of the Israelites Of how they rejected God “We want a king!” they demanded “We want to be like other nations” Rejecting God’s kingship. The same God who brought them up Out of the ******* of Pharaoh Out of slavery in Egypt The same God who gave them victories Over many nations and wars The same God who had fed them For forty years in the wilderness Same God who had proved Beyond reasonable doubt That He is the King of kings A Lord above all lords They chose to downgrade! I was swept away in a mind journey As I thought of how it must have felt To be rejected by your own children Repudiated by your beloved Disowned by the very people you love. My heart bled! The heartbreak was unimaginable The pain was excruciating As my mind pointed fingers of accusation I couldn’t find befitting words *“Foolish Israelites!” “Unrepentant idiots!” “Stubborn generation!”* And as my mind went awry Heaping insults on God’s people Raining accusations on them Judging an imperfect people as myself… His still small voice whispered ***“You are all the same” “You have done worse”*** Then it struck me Like a lightening of a million volts I am the Israelites I am the very people of God I am the same ones I condemn I have betrayed God repeatedly I have chosen sin above my maker My iniquities know no bounds I have trivialized His blood I have made a mess of the cross. *I am the “foolish Israelites!” I am the “unrepentant idiots!” I am the “stubborn generation!”* My heart melted into tears Shame covered me like a cloud My head was bowed in ignominy. Unable to speak or move I lay there, weeping at my wickedness No words were spoken But I felt His arms embrace me In acknowledgement of my repentance I never deserved it But He loved me nonetheless. I pointed one finger at them But three pointed back at me! © Raphael Uzor

Unable to speak or move I lay there, weeping at my wickedness No words were spoken But I felt His arms embrace me In acknowledgement of my repentance I never deserved it But He loved me nonetheless. I pointed one finger at them But three pointed back at me! © Raphael Uzor

I guess this is how it happens. When you lose your heart it just finds new legs. She's walking around with my heart in a box. She just won't give it up even if I beg. No wonder I can't find new loves. Thought the switch was gone. As soon as it comes it goes. An empty spot where my heart was keeps me alone. I can't fill up what I don't have. I want more but it doesn't feel right. Emptiness that finds me an early grave. I want my heart back give up this spite. I need a heart transplant. To feel love one more time. Something so simple won't you grant. Emptiness un-befitting in my prime. I need a heart transplant.

Heart Transplant
there's a solemn tune in my core that longs for warmth - a melodic rhythm that produces spring's blossom. though my core is in solemn mood but the mind speaks otherwise   - its a mess. still, never have i asked something great like a grand Autumn concerto just wanting his own music sheet playing the song to the one      who cares. for how long will I be patient, or where will I ever find the sign for the right notes befitting to my tunes? asking questions only time can tell. I'll wait....

music sheet
befitting of laurels, saint of the mountains, usher of calm winds. befitting of apocalypse but less than apocrypha, stepping between fish, guiding all to bliss and sleep, as the one who exist only in eclipse, pushing tides that sink ships. basements and quarries quietly mutter your name, unsure of what comes next, they who live between life, tombstone your makes fleeing your breath child your touch unknown your thoughts

Anatomically sound, befitting a king swaying alertly in the waves, I sing. Hearts, at sea, floundering and pounding against the cavity of my chest, astounding. V-Day arriving, and leaving without me swimming with shellfish and sharks at sea. Satisfying love’s unique quality, and breathlessly waiting for me to be we. Tortuously lying in the keel’s utter mist waves exploding above, below and amidst. contemplating all that I ever wished, remembering when, at first we last kissed. V-Day, a special enchanting display, lovingly speeding, though slightly astray. Wishing you love in a happiness way, throughout a belated Valentine’s Day.

And Ravana Lives Again
You require at least three similes. A metaphor or two. This section needs more sibilance, and another allegory on alliteration too. Creative writing now a standardized test where a poet seems to do slightly poorer than the rest. You receive a checklist, told bye and buy the book. Drain away the colours upon your pencil or face the examiners sickle and hook. Creative writing now a slog a convoluted use and reuse of that which "improves" your descriptions and inscriptions. You need a conclusion. something befitting a happy end. Try anything smart and a bad grade i'll be "sure to send."

Creative Writing Is Not Creative Anymore.
you dance with strangers, gifting them your smile a treasure i called mine—if only for a while you laugh at perils when your life's at stake you live the dream while i'm not quite awake you wear your finest silks, the world is your stage new faces every day—befitting of the age your beauty changes hands of those who hardly care i'm left to rue the loss, i find it hard to bear you're dancing with a stranger—wish it was me instead moved on so fast, you have—it's messing with my head don't think i'm getting back that part of me i've lost you dance with strangers—i'm dancing with your ghost

dancing with a stranger
Quenched your thirst with nothingness That final night we spoke, Strangled by the Dragon's claws Until your wristwatch broke. It stained your lips, your fingertips The membrane of your nose; The queerest shade of mushroom blue I'd ever then behold. And were it not for breathlessness That swallowed up the sound I'd found the shade befitting of The body on the ground. As children, brave, you sailed away More places than I'd go. I followed each resounding path And lived as your echo. Motivation to taste the dregs Of an oblivion Was not a path I'd trace myself Or follow where you'd been I broke off, denied the blue Before it stained me dead I should have stayed a pace behind To share the way I'd tread You're Peter Pan at twenty-two And nevermore a day I watched the stars up in the sky And saw you sail away. Your wristwatch, though broken Still clicks on in my head The last place that you're breathing now In dreams that grace your stead. I never could quite come to tell you I dreamt of drowning in one ocean For the rest of my days.

You Turned Blue and Sailed Away.
if love is a battlefield, than my mind must be Chernobyl. a nuclear war zone, befitting, I spent years developing a nuclear war head, that can find lodging in your head. it lays resident on the pillow on my bed, my childhood shed, while bad memories flow like a water drain up ahead, and may remain with me until death. maybe such a stigma on depression exists, because no one still really knows what it is hell, my mind can compute equations, spit out essays, but mental illness? to solve mine would be aimless. it lurks, it attacks, it burns left like a forest fire to churn. eats up your insides, you feel your ending coming close, with no conclusiveness a doctor can diagnose. only if life came with an easy mode, maybe i'd be better off dealing with this alone. this is for all the kids who made Adam's song their song, or find reprieve at the bottom of a **** and find life a little bit too long. can you hear the siren? three, two... seconds to eruption one... boom. no time to snooze. i wake and immediately collapse into pieces. scattered, in the people i will encounter today until i come home empty, no parts of me left to be seen. until i finally fall in bed, close my eyes, count 1, 2, 3, and do it all over again.

chernobyl
Violent rage befitting a man of noble status. Slaves and servants beaten without discrimination. Blood soaked halls echo with moans of suffering. Cracks of the whip inciting shrieks of pain. The count is pleased but not yet satisfied. Naked bodies, male and female, covered in blood. No resistance is offered by these peasants. They don't dare to defy the urges of a nobleman. "The night is still young," he says. "There's still time to **** and defile all of you. And so I shall." He laughs as his eye catches a young girl. "You my sweet shall go first," he says unbuttoning his trousers.
