Lovice

To all the ladies and gents
That are scared of commitments
That are always on self defense
Due to a little bit of scar from previous events

Do not shy away from heartbreak
By putting on the breaks on anything good that comes your way
Previous relationships’ is something like a snake
It is never the bite that puts you away but the venom coressing through your veins

You might have heard bad stories along the way
That have kept you in hiding from a mile away
It is like drinking acid while expecting not to decay
Do not fall victim to someone else yesterday’s fear and miss out on the opportunities of today

Cc everyone you see on the streets
To finally see the one that will set your heart free
What type of ink stains do you want on your sheets
Or have you never thought about the type of life you want to live?

Love is but beautiful
A synonym and acronym that can never be awful
More sweet than the Belgium waffle
And so elegant, there is nothing more lawful

There is nothing to fear but the paranoia of joy
A subtle reminder that loneliness is something to avoid
And Life is nothing but a void
With so much emptiness awaiting to be filled with your love

To all the ladies and gents
That are scared of commitments
That are always on self defense
Due to a little bit of scar from previous events

Abducted Soul

Another day another crisis that befalls our soul
I know it is difficult but how do we expect to survive in this cold
Some are dying to find Tuwo
While others are killing in the name of political control

Abduction news continue to increase
An economy our country has given birth to–off its sleeve
Mothers are in tears and on their knees
Your main focus was to abduct a bird for speaking the truth

The man behind the men behind the man
You might not be one of us, but humanity goes beyond a land
We are pleading with you to not kill because you can
We are a nation that should be united not divided by politicians and gunmen

We have been wronged’ is not a license to do wrong
It is not easy but we need to be strong
For ourselves and those weak we carry along
And one day, beside the Green White and Green we shall sing a happy song

The TAOetry

To be is to be born
To live is to be alive
All things are born of being
Being is born of none being

The TAO is in me and you
The TAO moves within everything around you
The TAO is peace
The TAO provides love that does not cease

They say the road to enlightenment is always dark
The road that leads forward seems to go back
The road that leads direct has a longer path
The road of the TAO is that from your heart

The feeble minded will laugh when they hear the TAO
Should they not result to laughter it is not the TAO
The Average minded will be at a half believe of the TAO
The Superior minded will immediately begin to embody the TAO

The TAO is of everything but it comes from nothing
The TAO is a knowledge of self and being
He who understand it has wisdom
It does not come with force but it gives strength

He who is content is truly rich
He who gives himself for others shall live long
He who gives himself for the TAO lives for eternity
He who gives himself for no one lives a zero life

Elegance comes from diligence
True power they say seems weak
Steadfastness they say seems changeable
True purity they say seems tarnished

The greatest art seems unsuffiscated
The greatest love seems indifferent
The greatest wisdom seems childish
The greatest poem reads like this

To be is to be born
To live is to be alive
All things are born of being
Being is born of none being

Victim Cry(s)

A goal achieved is a goal defined

They turn a blind eye to our victim cry

Our innocence has been violated a countless times

And they expect us to keep putting the past behind

Say No, Yes I have said so

Then what next, is that enough though ?

What else do I need to do to make them know

But is it enough that they know ?

Before your title you were human

How difficult is it to maintain that union

Aside from peace what did you hope to conceive

How ironic, anti-robbery becomes freedom thieves

United we should be by the bond of nature

Nigeria lands our home, gardens and structure

We are united by a bond that renders you my brother/sister

Rather than being my killer, what does it take from you to be my savior

I plead with the humanity that resides within you

Listen to the victims cry, deja Vu

It happened, it is happening, it will continue until you change your attitude

Ignorance never solved any mystery, just ask scooby doo

I plead on behalf of my fellow citizens

The force is out of hand and needs sincere discipline

Do not go out of line, in the name of putting us in line

ENDSARS is not a motion, It is a race that is determined to reach its finish line

A race cannot be finished behind the finish line

Do not turn a blind eye to the victims cry

Their citizenship has been betrayed a thousand times

How ironic that he who is to bring an end, starts a beginning that leads to his end.

Heroes Of Shimfida

I am not dead but I was sentenced to death

Nothing criminal my offences were taking care of threats

I swore to protect until my last breath

Only to be killed in the jungle and you don’t even care

I went through the same life troubles as you

I have a family and children I send to school

Being in the army does not mean I am slaving for you

It is the love for my country that led me to put on the boot

I left my family in the name of my nation

They cried in tears as I was sent off to a distant destination

It might seem to you I don’t cry because I was trained to control my emotions

This is only because I have to be strong for you to enjoy your freedom

It might not seem much to you that I do

All the sacrifices you think is not true

My colleagues that gave their lives in service for you

Oh! I understand, It is the money that only concerns you

Your allegations of military corruption is beyond my say

As a soldier, I am disciplined to remain at bay

Respect is key, as such my superiors I listen and obey

I am not saying I am a slave but I trust in what they say

When I fall in battle, they mourn me

It pains me to hear you don’t even have me in your memory

What do you think was my last thought as the bullet penetrates me

I might not be your family, but the uniform deserves you to celebrate me

Eighteen good soldiers

We ate together, trained together, and bleed together

We might have fallen in this battle but never shall we lose the war

We are soldier, dead or alive we fight for the freedom of all

We fight with our fallen comrades at heart

We shoulder you on our backs

And protect you from those trying to stab you in the back

That is no reason for you to turn your backs on us

This is no cry seeking for sympathy

As a fellow citizen I deserve your empathy

Only together shall we unit in restoring our dignity

In the names of the Heroes of Shimfida, we will achieve our victory

Love Scuffle

My Love

I know we have not been as intended

Our relationship stepped down from its harmony

I can see you are questioning our certainty

We used to have the best love stories

Our history should not be made history

Our relationship needs to revive its glory

Your name shall remain immortal in my diary

The mornings I wake up next to you

And we cuddle On each other like tattoo

Eventually I run into you

We mourn and yawn for more…

Every morning you sun my sunflower

Every evening you are seated on my sky scrapper

Every second of the day you are my hearts appetizer

We go back and forth but we never get tired

Such a journey is far from an end

Our relationship could only ascent

We have grown beyond the typecast of Boy & Girlfriend

Not even Romeo & Juliet, Jack & Rose could out Romance us

Baby girl I miss you

I know it is only been a couple minutes since our fight

Life is just not the same without you

For others it takes hours or days, Baby it’s seconds when it comes to you

Since you walked through the door

It completely shook my core

That was the first time I heard you roar

My heart naturally turned sour

My love I need you back with me

…While writing, I heard my phone ring

“Hello babe”, she said

“Would you like me to get you anything ? I stopped to get some groceries”

My heart skipped a bit hearing her voice

Immediately I begin to rejoice

“Nothing love but my usual favorite choice”

“Hurry up baby, and bring yourself back to me”

Our journey continues

In just a couple minutes, whatever is no longer an issue

Our love built a trust that became lust

Which makes it easier to forgive the others mishap

Finally, my baby is home

Kindred hearts we are never alone

“I am sorry about earlier, It shall not happen again”

“Come baby, Let me put some ice cream in your cone”

Poeticverse

There is always an irony to life

The caterpillar needs to die to become a butterfly

It transforms from a snailly form of eww!

To a wingy form of Awww!

The Irony that remains

Is for the soul that never changed

For your limited life where do you stand ?

Karma has an irony that visits when you become sand

Search for your metaphor in poetic justice

Like a game of dice, it comes like your chances of double six

A satire in every win

Emotions but memory contains the heavy deeds

In this universe

Poetry I see in every little thought

One come and go but life never stops

Karma is a bitch and it’s never her fault

Today patience lacks attitude

Mockery has become a self fulfilling fortitude

An irony in every longitude and latitude

Am I running from every long attitude that outlast my attitude ?

Karma does not allow one to cheat life

Such an irony even death cannot cheat life

A short parody of life can be rolled in one dice

Unlike life, like the dice chances might come twice

I seek the poetry in this universe

I see the Irony that is this universe

Karma remains a bitch in every poetic parody

Thus, for the paradise in life, I claim my universe ‘The Poeticverse’

The golden Charmer

Knighted child in golden armor

Mattered not should ye be son to a farmer

A lawyer, doctor or even a Governor

The circle of life never existed in only one harbour

Yet this reality can be manipulated by a charmer

Knighted child in golden armor

Life seemed flexible from every angle in the mirror

Once away from the shadows of leisure

One would find the storm had never been heavier

Ye had only been sheltered under the family umbrella

A tradition of cosset

Shielded from all obstacles from birth

Ye’s Kindred meant no harm but good

Little did they forget the jungle is made of different woods

Some might be hard, and some soft

Ones Texture dictates the rationale behind his growth

A tradition of cosset

A facade to the feeble minded

A misplacement of value

Such tender a generation where trust weighs more than truth

A rooted foundation that warps our youth

Stories are told

Yet the truth remains to unfold

If the ultimate power is control

Then, a knighted child was only a means to a certain goal

How destructive a force yet attractive like gold

A knighted child in golden armor

Fell victim to the tradition of cosset

In plain sight is the absence of physical harm

While being ignorant to the notion of mental and emotional wants

To survive, the golden child needs to develop his personal charm

Tussle with Pressure

I know you are afraid of the stars

I can see the depression right through your eyes

It has put you down and left you with scars

I can see the pain as you blow the smokes through your cigar

I could be your angel but this journey is for one

I will be right here where you left me when all is set and done

I will always be there for you till the end

whatever challenge, it could only shake us but never break us

done are the days when a ‘say’ could come between us

A bond this strong, ask zelda about ‘Doku tree’

No matter the load, I know you will break free

don’t listen to them, your struggles is my cup of tea

if I am the door then you are the key

even when I am alone, you are with me

However dangerous, the beauty of the ocean is something to see

no matter the pain, I still see the smile in the frowns you put for me

from the roots is where we build the branches to our family tree

no matter the storm all we shed off is some leafs

remember our dance moves when we hear the sound of the wind

whatever the pressure, it could never get through our skin

Life experience has moulded us through what we have been

life lessons we witness through every scene

with time comes patience and whatever it is becomes history
