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.

NIGERIA BIRTHS INDEPENDENCE
Sometimes I wonder About all these screens Reality captured and controlled Designed and refined Groomed to an idealistic state of too good to be true Making it a bit too easy to day dream Sometimes I wonder About all those moments Those times so clearly photographed With a piercing sting behind the camera Fantasy proposing the changes that can't be made For those moments that you can't forget Sometimes I wonder About all I haven't seen Billions upon billions of molecular possibilities Shown through animals, forests, seas, circumstances All going on beyond the length of my perceptions Giving me a yearning for more than before But... Sometimes I know Despite all the anxieties of self perception The hindsight consumption pressuring pointlessly And the necessary humility in a world that is small itself That there's a lot I can do to find contentment in life And plenty of time to do it

Sometimes I wonder
we hail from synonyms replicate those isles of dirt jagged colossal terrains of earth which sprouts to scrape the wisps of pearly clouds where marble and stone splintered scorches of gnarled bark where the soft paws of preying lions roam within the sea of swaying golden grass where each stroke of a feathered wing flourishes the air with its mighty swing and the threshold of mysterious beings idle in mischief of deep blue seas and those salty shores swallow the iron hulk of ships and ferocious savages of nature's call groaning in mourn for her body her crevasses and pools of spilling crystal cerulean water where the malachite moss sits in stone of endless time and trees groomed of wind and sun prideful beneath the drink of the setting morrow she yearns for the claim of her shape for the purity of her waters like blood her parched throat of sandy desert lands amputated into wells of gorging oil she suffocates from her very existence a poison to herself and as the days wan to a fast massacre to her own suicidal mission to feed our negligence we label: humanity

Motherland
A wild man is not a boyfriend, he is a force. Can you love me in the blinding heat of a birthing star, when I shower warmth on distant moons? Can you love me in the hole of the cosmic Black, where no one can reach me? Not even you? Can you love me then too? Can you love me when I drag buffalo skulls through the dirt for days, to the rhythm of an ancient drum? Will you love me if my beard hides the scars in my heart, from battles I cannot explain? WIll you love me when I lack courage, when I am defeated, when I won’t let you patch my wounds? WIll you trust me when I smell of sweetgrass and sage, and when I stink of whiskey and sweat? When I drink from the cup and play in astral light, will you anchor me to Home? What happens when my words don’t work, and I can speak with only my eyes? Can you love me enough to let me go, without asking me where I’ll be? I am no poodle to lay groomed on a leash at your feet. I am the wolf that fetches the bones of truth. A wild man is not a boyfriend. He’s not built for animal husbandry. He is a force. He is a cause for an effect. He is a mission. Are you afraid to let me inside you? Not just my flesh, but my soul. The wild man is neither burglar or vandal. I will not take anything from you. I will not trample on sprouting seeds or pick flowers as a trophy. I am the sun on flooded fields and the fire for tangled webs. Don’t be scared, lover, mother, maiden, crone. Take me as I am. Even if I have the power to destroy worlds, I will not destroy you. A wild man is a protector. A father. A warrior for all that is good. When the chaos seeks to obliterate you, sheering your flesh from bone, I will hold all the pieces together in love, until you are ready to reassemble. When your seas boil, and your winds throw cars at corn fields, I will wait patiently for you to catch my eye, so that both of us can laugh. When Hell opens up the fiery gates, and sends all the cosmos against you… I plant my heels deep in the ground. I lay my shield low. My sword is sharp then, my love. The steel sings sweetly. With a smile, Hoka Hey! My last breath a farewell kiss. Today is a good day to die. For ours is the oldest love affair. The greatest story ever told. Cupid and Psyche, Shiva and Shakti, You and I. Same same but different. Would we have it any other way? A wild man is not a boyfriend. He is a force.

A young girl is walking on a sinuous and rough trail. Wounds and scratches have found its place in her body, so frail. As she reached the end of the pathway, she began to feel decrepit and impuissant that she wanted to discreetly skreigh. On a cloudy dark night, a boy appeared in the fog. He said Everthing will be okay.. Don't worry.. Just take my hand.. He took her to a place that is very bright, dazzling that it hurts her heavy eyes. They both sitted on an evergreen well-groomed grass. She noticed the beautiful scenery that appeared. It calmed her mind, her heart, her whole being. The sun shines, the water by the river is crystal blue, the breeze of the wind blows her hair. She have seen the skies, the birds and the flowers surrounded by tall trees. This place is filled with love, joy and happiness. This is the place that she can choose to be with or she can be in another world..                                           - Ella Salvador

Paradise
I don’t really like to play the victim, But I'm being failed by this system 7 hours, a hostage to cinder block rooms With nothing to do but let myself be groomed Into someone's labor source If I don’t have money, I cannot live But nobody seems to have a thought to give To my Life being turned into a commodity Something to be owned, taxed, a luxury   That sometimes I’m not able to afford. So much stock is put into democracy But we don’t matter to bureaucracy Unless we use the paychecks earned From the Liberties we burned To fill their empty promises They call us ungrateful and lazy For recognizing that this life is crazy And resenting all the thought and time Spent in the Pursuit of a rich man’s dime Instead of our own Happiness

‘Shadow of the day’ Play and play and release the locks of this attraction. Sway and displace the diamond sealed in the concrete. It shone and sparkled immense value. Could’ve never ended and remained in your zone. An amazing soul, rare and simply beautiful. Replace this with thoughts known, You pure gold, wish forces could entwine this desire not a norm. Came packaged in a lovely form. I viewed your sense and values and even butterflies fluttered and passed out from your flood of casual injection of euphoria. Seems too futile…sadly the world hardly awards love. Will it sub-side, found a real prince of note…maybe it could’ve been groomed and grown with the days. Is it possible to remove such a being from my rooms of thought? Will it get better or worse with time? Hardly unreal when lips only recite our memories. Make what’s engulfed me in your aura die, It’s not needed, not happening again. Why is it now…over and over again. The stenches of my lust for you, My longing to be in your presence. For once, can I be blessed with treasure like you. Shiny and rare…beautiful and valuable. Regrets of loving so easily has now become a punishment. Again I need to mend the pieces, The millions of pieces broken by heavy disappointment. Why did those words you said colour my ears, How can you have made me feel liked yet you saw past me. Haven’t my feet walked this hurt before. Seems things are too heavy… Never golden or maybe their lame gestures have rusted my heart. Hardly any good in the possibilities, I hate these realities. I’m fed up with these warriors who easily pull on my heart-strings. Where shall I rest? Find comfort and acceptance from the evil rest. I saw sanctuary in your eyes, Pictured a loving soul and felt a honourale being from your touch. Loosen my grip on what will never happen. Too raw…yet the heart has become immune. Now mind and energy drowns in gloom. 20years of living…still I believe in love. Still I want to believe there’s one for me. Understanding and equally loving. But…sadly there’s been no luck. Maybe, just maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I reveal too much and have them regretting they laid eyes on me.

Wander of a Summer's night whilst swimming in the energy of neighborhood folk playing at the park in a bathe of warm dusk air, Nightfall blankets the chatter and laughter of friends a like with whistles fluttering off thy breath to the tune of their pitter patter against the mat of green grass all perfectly groomed... For soccer matches and picnics, plus the occasional BBQs or to this present moment an evening dog walk, tails wagging.

How beastly the bourgeois is especially the male of the species-- Presentable, eminently presentable-- shall I make you a present of him? Isn't he handsome? Isn't he healthy? Isn't he a fine specimen? Doesn't he look the fresh clean Englishman, outside? Isn't it God's own image? tramping his thirty miles a day after partridges, or a little rubber ball? wouldn't you like to be like that, well off, and quite the thing Oh, but wait! Let him meet a new emotion, let him be faced with another man's need, let him come home to a bit of moral difficulty, let life face him with a new demand on his understanding and then watch him go soggy, like a wet meringue. Watch him turn into a mess, either a fool or a bully. Just watch the display of him, confronted with a new demand on his intelligence, a new life-demand. How beastly the bourgeois is especially the male of the species-- Nicely groomed, like a mushroom standing there so sleek and ***** and eyeable-- and like a fungus, living on the remains of a bygone life ******* his life out of the dead leaves of greater life than his own. And even so, he's stale, he's been there too long. Touch him, and you'll find he's all gone inside just like an old mushroom, all wormy inside, and hollow under a smooth skin and an upright appearance. Full of seething, wormy, hollow feelings rather nasty-- How beastly the bourgeois is! Standing in their thousands, these appearances, in damp England what a pity they can't all be kicked over like sickening toadstools, and left to melt back, swiftly into the soil of England.

Who here loves ******* I mean, dogs Obviously… Immature people. I love ***** shows. Seeing them all groomed to perfection, not a hair out off place A shame some cute faces will just go to waste. While some may whine and some may resist, If it’s not monetised, well… does it exist? Lined up in a row Look at them go Praying and hoping to win best in show, just for a itty bitty wittle headpat, while the owner gets useful things like money. Cause a dog can’t use money, that’s just silly Nails perfectly trimmed Intelligence dimmed Watch how they walk with a little trot, so proud of themselves, its like they forgot they only have the same rights as their owners in 6 countries. But dogs don’t need equal working rights, that’s just silly Look its absurd When they whine all their words Clogging up space with their frilly likes and their silly ums that totally like inconveniences like everyone because they have to um like listen to a ***** talk for um longer than they like totally like um have to like *** But they aren’t so bad, especially when you’ve had A ***** that wont behave, a ***** that’s gone mad Howling at the moon with their wandering wombs It’s like there’s no party, only balloons. If a ***** wears pants, do they go on all fours Or do they get sent home for showing more than their paws. Gasp at how they growl, protecting their hairy bodies, which, silly them, they don’t own. They must be culled Anger dulled Knock in their thick skulls they are nothing but a ***** We all love ***** shows, we love the ******* even more. So come on ladies, get down on all fours.

The sunset is beautiful I only wish you were here to complete the evening If you were what would we do? Where would we go? Perhaps we'd just stay here sitting on the steps standing over the water leaning on the buildings by the docks simply talking about how life has been individually, several miles apart Familiar our exchanges might be, no small thanks to our fancy flatscreen devices, I'd still want to hear each word while we do whatever we desire because you'd be here and we'd be together at last in person again laughing, smiling, jesting holding and stroking each other poking and patting in this place and that all while looking out at the sunset although I wouldn't want to look away even if I could from those deep brown eyes flowing with the tone of your soft skin and the groomed lines of your elegant hair; perfect as a pristine painting whether afar or in the details. I only wish that you were here beside me.

She is beautiful She is important She is the future See her tender heart Yearning for love Hear her voice Don't take it away She is to be valued She is to be groomed Hold her hands Lead her to her purpose She is a womb In time she would birth life She is much more A mind full of ideas Soft yet powerful She is a leader She is a supporter She is a true friend Invest in her too Why make her feel any less Why hold back her rights Why the hate Why the discrimination She is a girl Celebrate her

Day of the girl is Everyday
The teacher's eyes gathered colours about The cultured garden scene she knew so well; She likes the section flowers nicely sprout Her hidden world where varying colours jell. Achievers pride she takes with all her heart; Like outstanding pupils she proudly groomed. But scrappy lazy ones, never seems to start, She wished them luck and left alone to bloom. The sun regardless shines on all juniors. The bright ones, the brats she pitied a lot. Through years and wise by age she remembers, Oft visiting her those she had forgot, Those she loved and cared have whittled away. But strugglers now trees they weathered to stay.

Red Poppies grow Upon lapels Telling of War's untold hell Of green hills Pristine and groomed Marching crosses On the tombs Marching crosses Star of David Where Stars and Stripes Fluttered and wav'ed Of buddies lost Buried in cairns Of brothers. Sisters. Thus disarmed. Of need for morphine To end the pain Of bandages To staunch red stains To honor souls Under white snow Upon lapels Red Poppies grow. SoulSurvivor (C) 5/29/2016

Red Poppies
When the struggles and grudges of life weakens me down to my bones and marrows, And l have none to strengthen me; The grace of praise l embrace will quicken and be my strength. When the devil fires an arrow of sorrow towards me, ln order to narrow my passion for the vision of my mission in life; The grace of praise l embrace will be my shield. When the challenges and pains of life groomed in fears, Strains my heart to rain down tears; And l have none to comfort me; The grace of praise l embrace will be my comfort. When life seems so tough and my challenges becomes too hot to bear, And l have none to bear my burdens with me; The grace of praise l embrace will be my refuge. When my enemies channels their weapons of destruction and distraction towards me, ln order for me to leave my dreams, visions and life ambitions unpushed, The grace of praise l embrace will shield me and inspire me never to retire until l am discovered. When l am frustrated, distressed and stressed in the battles of life, And l have none to console or encourage me to move ahead; The grace of praise l embrace will be my fortress and my solace. When my feet becomes feeble in the faculty of life, And l have none to uphold me to be strong; The grace of praise l embrace will be my strength and shelter. When temptation, trials and tribulation engulfs me like a mother hen engulfs her chicks, And l have none to unveil me; The grace of praise l embrace will unveil me and announce me to my world. When l am battered, shattered and scattered in the battles of life, And l have none to come to my rescue; The grace of praise l embrace will gather me up and put me together. When l kneel before the creator and maker of heaven and earth in prayer, And l know not how to present my matters before him; The grace of praise l embrace will speak on my behalf. When l am knocked down on my feet by the struggles and battles of this life, And l have none to raise me up; The grace of praise l embrace will raise me up.

I've seen bodies aching, freshly groomed, seeking to fill the void with touch. Sleeping under vibrant bouquets of drowsiness and lethargy. I can see the figure in my future He's drowning in the plants of lust But I should wait until that time. I must, I must, I must.

Bursting Bouquets
Bang! Bang! The sounds of gun shots mid-day on Thursday, Sirens getting closer to the crime scene, Just two weeks ago a man's life was terminated for a cellphone, More thugs and more gun fires, the tragedy so bad it even appeared in the news. But today i can feel fear creeping in my vains, Another man shot dead today, why do i have to live in this community? For i am afraid. Few months ago it was just like an action movie, people running and rolling while the loud sounds from the police guns aiming over my roof top kept on going Bang! Bang! I see the police patroling the streets by day, having picnics in the park while they watch their horses eroid away the soil. They feast to some take away outlets filling their sagging bellies by night. While they letting the just go unpunished all year long, Oh! It hurts. I feel a bullet on my chest, Oh! It hurts for i cannot look through the dark night anymore. I sit on the side of this wide classroom window, And i wonder, What if one bullet comes straight to me. (God forbid) Oh this township that i loved, you are not safe anymore. Where can i run to for i called you home? There is no distance further gone  without any loud sounds; Bang! Bang!      Oh mam' ngiyalil'      ngililel' labo abangasek'      ikakhulukaz' imphil' yam'      umphefumul' ongenacal'      kungab' sewabayin' wena             dolobh' lami. I called your name, with so much pride and bragging, but now i cannot even say your name for you have groomed thugs, gangsters, vindals, drug addicts and drug dealers, harlots... And what else that we do not know? Could it be blood sacrificies, are these the 'EndTimes' proclaimed in the book of Revelations, Why should i bother trying to think when all i hear in my head are ecoing sounds Bang! Bang! All i need to do  is to find a way out,     Nyawozam' ngibeleth' !     Ngob' inhliziy' ayisahlalisekang'     qobo when will that day be, when crime will be stopped for good, and police do justice to the community?

I called your name, with so much pride and bragging, but now i cannot even say your name for you have groomed thugs, gangsters, vindals, drug addicts and drug dealers, harlots... And what else that we do not know? Could it be blood sacrificies, are these the 'EndTimes' proclaimed in the book of Revelations, Why should i bother trying to think when all i hear in my head are ecoing sounds Bang! Bang! All i need to do  is to find a way out,     Nyawozam' ngibeleth' !     Ngob' inhliziy' ayisahlalisekang'     qobo when will that day be, when crime will be stopped for good, and police do justice to the community?

My bathroom, the bedroom, my living room and the kitchen are all spying on me daily, seen my nakedness, more than enough to describe every bit of me, records my every moment and daily visits, day and night. I'm not ashamed to display my nakedness even **** without decorum. My bathroom mirror is the first to see the show of my new dance steps, and i allowed it to see and record the secret of my life. So shamelessly I displayed my secret acts in my bedroom, doing all sorts of stuff, things my mouth cannot freely talk about. In there in the closet of my beloved bedroom I committed all sorts of crimes that even you will be ashamed to watch if you know what I mean. In the privacy of my bedroom no holes barred. What do I say about my kitchen. I became an alchemist and a herbalist taught, groomed and approve by my mother. On the cauldron as a herbalist I mixed up all kinds of herbs and spices and come up with my alchemical concoction to help entertain my family and friends and also to feed and condition my body. My living room now turned into a theatre where I became an actor to everyone who cared to watch me display my prowess. All these I do in quietness of my small enclave where my bathroom and Kitchen, the bedroom and living room witnessed and spy on my follies. Did I tell you about Palomar the parrot and Kelly the German Shepard. They can tell you my story if you asked them. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

THE SPIES IN THE HOUSE
I get home, to a hand crafted note, one you wrote, with the old calligraphy pen, that sits at grandfathers writing desk. You even used the envelope, sealed by candle wax, stamped a red wax, my initial, touching, folded paper, a kiss of brass. The art of, manliness, unforgotten left on the pillow, of this grandiose four poster bed, mahogany homemade, the resting place, for weekend affairs. You refuse to kiss, ruby covered lips, as I remember the calling card, you used as a formal introduction, perfectly groomed, you entered my life, unregrettably. You, a man learned from his, grandfather his own father passing away, whilst away at sea, that cold and distant war, my tears fell as you pursued his path. You looked so debonair, a tuxedo, measured to fit, all alignments and as I stare at you, eyes connecting all I wish for, are sweet kisses. I want your arms around me, softly whispering, of how you will gently caress, each and every curve, kissing my thigh. The letter, quite simply, hand typed, reads; Florence Rose, will you do me the honor of marrying me? I flush my arms around your neck, tears fall, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. He embraces me, kisses those lips, lifts me to the bed, ********** me for minutes moments and hours, he makes love to me, and I know, I know he, is the only man I will ever need, or even know. © Sia Jane

Unforgotten (manliness)
In a world where salvation and restoration swaps my darkness to light, there the grace to glory in praise and grace l will embrace. In a time where invitation and visitation from above sweeps my groan(bondage) to grace to glory(freedom), there the grace to glory in salvation and restoration from sin l will embrace. In a season where manifestation and expectation becomes my hunger and thirst, there the grace to glory in meditation and supplication l will embrace. In a period where the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit becomes my meal and meat, there the grace to glory in repentance and independence from sin l will embrace. In a moment where revelation becomes my feast and vision of heaven my yeast, there the grace to glory in salvation and ressurection from death l will embrace. At the throne of grace, there the grace to glory in my salvation and restoration from ******* l will embrace. At the shone of salvation, there the grace to glory in my happiness and forgiveness from sin l will embrace. At the stem of restoration, there the grace to glory in my freedom and depletion from sorrow l will embrace. At the realm of freedom, there the grace to glory in my redemption and petition from shame l will embrace. In the day when my feet is lifted up above the sky and my eyes groomed in white robes, there the grace to glory in salvation and restoration l will embrace. Twitter: @ValentineMbagu

Grace To Glory
Too many eyes watching Too many ears listening Too many ideals capsizing Too many thoughts sinking... And dreams drowning. Too many drops fallen Too many smiles forsaken Too many times beaten Too many hearts left shaken... And promises broken. Too many questions asked Too many answers hidden Too many faces masked Too many hands bitten... And people forgotten. Too many words said Too many pacts fade Too many boundaries laid Too many rules made... And games played. Too many secrets entombed Too many feelings consumed Too many ill thoughts bloomed Too many enemies groomed... And hate campaigns resumed. Too many... A plethora too many Too many... We choose not to see Too many... Taken far too lightly Too many... There's just *too many, too many...*

Too Many, Too Many
*Glitzy gowns, crisp suits Dainty personalities, well-groomed gentlemen The crème de la crème of society Poised reveling in an aura of importance Flex their financial muscle In the name of philanthropy. Handing out gifts to hoi polloi Their hands gloved Smiling from ear to ear Their noses twitching Apparently un-accustomed to the “smell” of poverty Has poverty…a smell? Self-aggrandizement overwhelming their souls Having warmed the hearts of the downtrodden It’s a deal…sealed Effortlessly*

Opaque Transparency.
# Forgiveness is as forgiveness  does and I have fallen  short of breaking through this family thing this family, fling This family hold from days,  of old This family-fed, smiling, waving puss-pocket, ****** Head-in-the-sand adrenal gland Death-bonded hold this fungus-laced mold holding you down by your choice to choose Nothing, but them And out of the ashes reaches up a hand that strangles the ************ aptly called because  his ******* of your mother..   his daughter, groomed her to bathe her pure, firstborn daughter in order to offer her, back to him as a living, breathing sacrifice-- Pure.. Holy.. Blameless; without spot,  or defect   to him,        the destroyer of worlds but mostly,  just yours -- his dearly, dearly Beloved. #

on love.. beauty.. and the metabolization of the word, fail
The view outside, looking in, fills you with envy. The feeling living it, working in, fills you with strange uncertainty. You heard of the stories, the hand-me-down rumours. You thought you were prepared, ready to take on the world in your armour. You get a taste of the flavours of the world, yet drowned by the spices of your own. It's not the world you're afraid of, it's your own that wouldn't condone. You know you wouldn't let it pin you down, it's only as long as it last. You'll walk out there,dressed with pride and all that happened will surpass. The world may make you feel small,from time to time but the world wouldn't break you. You take on the world with much professionalism and you'll eventually grow away from new. You'll constantly have your spices of surprises, every time you wait in that room. But these spices can only make you stronger, remember, those girls you saw dressed with pride and well groomed. You wanted that pride, to walk with that honour. Your feet's in that shoe now, go, and take on the spices and the world.
