12 LIVES

-




To the Mother shaking head to her son's cries

watching anxiety and pains glints like fireflies

retying the knots of her blue-turned-black wrapper

as she meandered on dreams higher than skyscraper


Can you listen to this song I am about to sing?

You have 12 lives to live no matter how life stings.


To the Boy on his swing of loneliness

mending his worn out trousers of dreariness

on curvy slopes he tripped over years ago

whilst trying to lift the burden behind his ego 


Can you take your time to read whatever I write?

You have 12 lives to live no matter how life bites.


To the Girl on her pyjamas of pains

waiting to wash away the blood when it rains

the claws of predators on her silky skin

and the miseries she swept into sticky bin


Can you walk out of your hollowed lair?

12 Lives are fabricated for you, so live with care.


To the Father on his superhero expression

basking in muddy pool of depression

overdosed drugs,green bottles and flying flames

shuddering to life theories and wrying blames.


Can you perceive the scents of this words?

You have 12 strings left in your life chords.


To the blood flowing in this bleeding Pen

and the eyes trailing the loose lines like a hen

I and YOU still have creamy butters in our jars

Let's eat breads while reckoning the visible scars.

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 • ...
