"ezewi" poems

I found a place:
Where plagiarism fears its
license.
A place where works attracts
its audience.
It is a place of publicity:
Where reviews encourage its
own.
The assemblage of legends.
It is a place of refuge:
Where works standout.
A place of honour:
Where applause exchange
glances.
It is the latest place:
A very safe place
Wherein we say 'hello!'

Back in the days
People see city as the way out
But recent happenings
Had proved diaspora
As the messiah.
Moulding lives beyond the awe.
Crowning efforts made
With beautiful payments.
Giving meaning to lives events.
Dignifying the last jew man.
Beautiful diaspora:
Thou art so colourful
In your own ways;
Exhuming your challenges and rules
Which flaws men that violates your orders.

We are united by lip service
Yet claims we are being serviced
When all we get is agony
in a country that is meant
to be united in love.
If we claim to be one,
We are supposed to be duly
serviced by the share of our
oneness.
We can't be warmly expectant
when all we get is negligence;
We can't be claiming oneness
when our supposed lovers
throws our love to the retch.
Let this oneness be redefined
for us to know our stand;
Let the best we can be satiate
our amiable positions to
prove our oneness.
We have soared above
this mess and needs a prove
of our oneness:
Let it be recorded that we are
in love by the way we treat
ourselves;
Let our love be seen and not told.
How amiable we ought
to have grown instead of hate
and bigotry;
How prominent we look
yet plays around like kids
without direction.
We are endowed to be emulated;
We have gone too far to miss
our ways:
Let the love we claim be resurrected
And let our oneness be practiced.

I heard them call Kofi
When my sugar turned coffee
At the presence of a thing
Called coffin.
I know the living Kofi
Who doesn't come late
But is now late at the
Expense of a call called death.
The peace movement resound Kofi
Who couldn't respond from a coffin
But his legacy resound peace
That could not be bound.
Here is Kofi
Whose presence bespeak peace
But the day announced requiem
As nations sounds plaintive.
Goodbye Kofi,
Africa will always remember
That you united nations
Before your exit.

Searched all over the globe
By his curious brethren
Who craves for a trace
On the minute of a sign or symbol.
Coast to coast has he sojourned
In search of this settlement
That baffles all.
Yet so symbolic to be identified.
What prompted the African search
Brought a bloodline to Nigeria
To view the striking identification
Their brother left behind as an easterner.
This mysterious remembrance has
Launched a helping hand to the present
Generation, intending to wipe the tears
Of a populace who hails from the east.
Having found the tribes of Gad emerges
A reunion of East and these westerners
Who vowed to find a brother whose position
Is the seventh in Jacob's court.

What is not seen might be
bigger than what is seen;
Since families decided to agree,
They are no more separate but one.
The reason for this extension is for the purpose of procreation, companionship and etcetera which must be respected and honoured.
If one is bigger than one,
It shouldn't affect relationship but solidify.
A helping hand from one could fortify the two families from generation to generation.
If one is bigger, it doesn't mean another will not grow later.
It means the other needs the help of the bigger if they can.

Give it a chance in Africa:
For the dawn knows the blossoming grain.
Give it a chance in Africa:
For the moon brightens uninvited.
Give it a chance in Africa:
For the mother earth smiles on you.
Give it a chance in Africa:
And support the effort of every child.
Give it a chance in Africa:
And listen to that child when he is making sense.

We eld daily not knowing
Who will take care of us
Until the time comes.
If we care for one,
Another will care for us
Even when the beneficiaries
fails to reciprocate
Because we are also benefiters.
The things we do counts.
The moves we make presents
there costs.
Our decisions records our fate
in the midst of all.
Echoing the promises of our
deeds,
Before the counsels of time
Whose duty ensures that we
savour the fate we deserve.
Wherewhital our conscience
Who sends us on certain errands?
Will they be able to exonerate us?
Before the unusual timing
Who stirs at our actions.
The children we bore
may disappoint.
Our expected saviours fails
But the help we render
Stands the test of time
When nothing else counts.
They come as visitors in
different forms.
They come surprisingly
Putting smiles on our faces.
They come as rewards for
Jobs well done.
They are the now!
But we are the things we do.
We are the things we see.
We are the time and season
Yet we ask: "how?"

Some are destined to marry kings; some are destined to marry senators; some got married to presidents; some settled with mayors; some are happily married with ambassadors; some ends up happily married with business moguls; some ends up with promising futures and etcetera.
Marriage does not end at the ceremony of one. It's continuous. Life has it on timely dispensing saturation. Get ready for yours and make it happen or get caught up in the hands of fate or sudden love stories that kept saying yes...!

You kept people on their toes
All through the year
With a ridiculous preparation
That kept them believing
That you are getting ready for
The date appointed;
Only to wake up on this sure date
To announce the cancellation.

What if you fail?
What if you succeed?
What if they mock you?
What if they applaud you?
What if they reject you?
What if they accept you?
What if they say no?
What if they say yes?
What if you lose?
What if you gain?
Don't disqualify yourself when you haven't tried.

This is a country we live in: a country that is quick to imitate the foreign soil without considering its environment.
This is a country we live in: a country that imitates without checking if the time is right.
This is a country we live in: a country whose banking sector obliges its customers to adopt a verification system without adequate security.
This is a country we live in: a country that is quick to start an elephant project without completion.
This is a country we live in: a country that has a lot to learn about maintenance.
This is the country we live in: the country that considers the rich before the poor.
This is the country we live in: the country that swims in abundance yet, lives in penury.

Marry the woman or man
That supports what you do
Not the one that jealous
Or plots your downfall.
Marry your friend
And playmate
Who knows your flaws
And corrects with love.
Marry your confidant
And spiritual backup
Incase of rainy days
Wherein you get confused.
Marry who will not run away
in your trying days
And suddenly show up
To tell you "I am sorry"
When you finally conquer.
Marry your like mind
In other not to quarrel
In any little argument;
You will listen and enjoy yourselves.
Marry yourself
Wherein you treat
Your partner with so much love
Like yourself.
Marry the spouse
That won't sell you
To your enemies
Even when you are not in good terms.
Marry your fun
And your laughter.
Marry your own
And be settled.
Marry your appetite
And your satisfaction;
Marry your cynosure
And your wink.
Marry your complement
And your admirer
Who loves
And cherishes you.
Marry your compatibility
To avoid third parties separating fight.
Check your genotype
To avoid stories that touches.
Marry your love
Not your regret;
Grow in strength and
Build your home.
Marry your comfort
And your peace
Whom you remember
And go home to.

I heard that purpose brought her to this
earth:
Stationed in the vision that navigates her
moves
As diligence summons celebrations to be situate at the corridors of grace who will never cease to amaze Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Learn not to be scared of anything
Because it is a sign of weakness.
Learn not to allow people push you around
Because you are not gullible.
Learn not to allow people draw words out of your mouth
Because you are sensible enough.
Learn to be strong
In other to conquer.
Learn to stand firm
And become you.

It drops daily like an oil
full of sweet fragrance and blossoms made in heaven
Lingering on the sofa of the
seraphic heart of mine
with ardent reception on a
daily basis
Screaming peace and love
to mankind;
Expressing the ***** of sagacity
As the wind of mirth writes
on the sand of time.
Your love is evergreen
and unremitting,
assured in the midst of storm
conniving the peace of all ages.
My love for you
is made in heaven
because you invented it
in a garden and commanded
me to do so.
you taught me how to love you as My Father,
Trust you beyond measure
And stand with my hands lifted up.

She is beautiful
When her knees gives you
Direction.
She is beautiful
When the words of her mouth
Keeps you calm.
She is beautiful
When the look of her
Embroidery keeps you warm.
She is beautiful
When her smiles
Makes you comfortable.
She is beautiful
When her compelling force
Gives you peace.
She is beautiful
When the steps she takes
Honours your name.
She is beautiful
When the smoke around her
Keeps her refined.
She is beautiful
When her actions keeps her Attracted.
She is beautiful
When the fire in her eyes Quenches your worries.
She is beautiful
When you declare her
Beautiful.

Frustrated in the midst of affairs
Wherein men punk and junk.
Becoming overbearing
Wherein you couldn't take it anymore.
Adopt a smile
And mean it.
Alarm for help
And pour out.
Become a big mess
With your tears.
Become a big boss
In your mindset:
Create a beautiful future
With a fantasy;
Create a list of survivors
And include yourself.
Forget the pains
Even if it is for a moment.
Reborn yourself
And start afresh...
Do all you can
But don't write that suicide note.
Do all you can
But don't take your own life.

You have not gotten that:
Celebrate life.
You are yet to get married:
Celebrate singlehood.
They mock you for being poor:
Celebrate health.
For the gift of life:
Celebrate God.

Humans:
So unpredicting
Filled with character so perturbed.
Humans:
So unfulfilling
Filled with insatiable needs.
Humans:
So snoopy
Always snooping around to find out.
Humans:
So lovable
Depending on whom you met.

We know the criminals
But couldn't point fingers.
We know the rouges
Because they are notorious.
We know their tracks
But couldn't ply through.
We know their pranks
Because it is full of lies.
We know their heights
Because they are high and mighty.
We know them
We know them.

I have known you as a land
Filled with natural sweetness,
Fertile to the point of Willingness,
And productive to all.
You have been under the management of great leaders
Whose echoes resounds out of your reach as either bad or good managers.
You are a land to reckon with
But the torment of the old brigades
wouldn't let you go.
They call you Nigeria the great
But I call you the great land of nobility
Whose resources satisfies generations
Unremitting.
You are the land I hail from,
The land of my fathers
Whose greatness abound.
Sooner or later you will stand
To defend your name again,
You will ***** your glory in victory,
You will stand without lurch
and display your greatness.
You will wipe the tears of your inhabitants
who have learnt their lessons.
You are indeed a land of peace,
Designed to redoubt your citizens
In other to awaken your redound
But your redoubtable sculpts and scuff.
Your violators will crumble on their knees in astonishment
Seeking peace.
The unimaginable will surprise them soonest
Because peace refits itself.
This land must soar in glory,
Her people will rejoice again.
The land of my fathers is Nigeria,
Rich in culture and overly blessed.
This is that great land I hail from.

If I have ever been broken:
It is because I allowed it.
If I have ever been trampled upon:
It is because I didn't react.
If I have ever been delayed:
It is because I was foolish enough not to know where I belong.
If I have ever been stagnated:
It is because I stayed in the midst of the wrong people for too long.
