The Future

-
Beside the shallow river of yester days
 I sit to reckon my failures and misfortunes 
as they float on water like fallen leaves .

I watch wind escorts the sun down the horizon
On creaky tree of hope
 as the black future dangles like a jinglebell
whilst whirling wind tussles with my afflictions.

The future is a lamb reared in den of lions
the gnarls, howls and growls 
flips out the feeble courage left in me
as I quiver like a chick hiding from claws of predator.

The future is as misty as winter's dawn,
as blurry as ageing sunglasses
to the born-blind son of a leper
no string of joy, no leftover faith.

If the future glow like Xmas tree bulbs
and the past got graveled behind our memories
I'll sit to reminisce my dooms and miseries
whilst nursing tinted feelings and dyed affection.

The man in my mirror

Before the foggy dawn merged into brood daylight I stare at him   eyeballs to eyeballs He was holding his fears in his palm adopted false smiles to his crinkled cheeks he stood there with tattooed shoulder the ones broken bottles and dreary past drew to his chocolate skin and his face could make Tony trouser  wet with pee. When the sun reached its park  then smiles on forehead making sweats gush out of albinos I took two steps at a time to check up on him in his world He was there, clothed in despair nursing hurtful love, bruises and scars as he mend his broken bow with twiggy knuckles. When the sun sank into the dark horizon And wheezing wind took over the stage When trees dances to breeze melody giving night lovers perfect moisture When the moon sets its fairy tents and stars aligned up in the sky. I open the curtains of his world to see how he reacts to darkness He was shivering like a sucky duck wincing like a trapped rabbit and broken like my Superma...

EVER FAITHFUL GOD

The blinds claims they caught his sight The lame walk with him right The deaf clearly heard his voice The dumb could explain its Works • The kids called him father The kings call him the rulers The riches call him the wealth The poor plead him for wealth The Illinois believe in his healing Forever young the king ruling In ancient days and now His kingdom whiles with blessings around The king of the kings The lord of the lord The leadership that rules with kin The forgivers of all our sins • Granny once said he's the lord of Eternity Without U this life will be sanity Pains upon tears,sorrows and vanity Thanks to ur mercy the Almighty • (Native tongue) "Adaagbaa maa teepaa Agbaa oyee oba awon obaa Ateeeree ree karrii ayee Oba gbogbo oba aye" • The fateful God the ever blessing From u only we seek for blessings Lion of Judah the most high The father living above...

JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES

#Journey_Of_AThousand_Miles Hmmm.... A journey of a thousand miles Begin with a single footstep With days that was so hot to bear And night that's was so cold to bear Hunger that beat from toes to head Sufferings and pains than seems it won't end • Days that wasn't easy Road that was so rough and hectic Those days with ocean of tears shed Days with empty stomach lying on the bed Frustration and depression Ruling ur body temperature • Days that were so lonely With no friends to roll on with Because they thought U ain't fit They thought ur grade was too low to mingle with So u walk and sit alone around the street • Those bones that crack with pain Those fingers that twig wit nails Those smiles that fake the people Cuz they never know what U are going through Those clothes that turns but U couldn't sew Those slippers that cut while U get no shoe • ...
