Unforgiven .

They don't want me to shed tears but
They intend to spill my blood.
The house is dusty,
the rails are rusty,
My sights are cloudy.
You can’t have a sight at the scene.
In ur absence they torment me,
What mightiest of them cannot dare in ur presence.
They threaten me; your words of forgiveness cannot strengthen me.
Their conjuring has caught me deep in my sleep
The trap they set for me has caught my feeble bones of innocence
Forgiveness is for the righteous
Whoever said I am righteous
In my silence I have slain those I love
In my quite time i have waged war alongside the demons of hate
They praised my resilience in blood shed
I refuse to engage in any peaceful solemnization

I will not forgive he who shot me down
Right in my prime of glory
I will not forgive he who burnt my offering
Right in front of Baal’s altar
I will not forgive those who plot my death
Same people who watched me at birth
Shaking my father’s hand for he hath a son
I will not forgive those who showed me a toothless vengeance
Gnawing at my flesh and drooling on my veins for survival
I shall not forgive she who broke my heart like China
The broken pieces of it could pass through the eye of needle

Timely Greeting.

The sun is to rise soon
Before it does
Let me say good morning to you
Through the day I will toil with strenght and mind
But I will keep you in my heart.
And if before any other man I sight the moon
I will be the first to say good evening too.

Homely friends

friends that i've lost.
i'll turn the world upside down if i must.
to bring you back to my life at all cost.
your memories were once like a blazin' fire,
burning hatred along with all worldly desire
but in the cause of ur absence it all turned to dust.
Friends,ready i'm to pay the price
and if fate shud cast the discouragn dice,
never will i give up but try again twice.
Losin' you made me empty, renderin' my dreams useless,
makin me feast with unknown faces of horror.
Lost friends i'll find you all. Verily, before night falls.
And when your ears become deafnin' to worldly lies,
you shall hear me call 
and whoever or whatsoever that took you away from me
at the reunion of love and trust shall fall
 we shall remain united while we stand tall.
 I love you all.

A book Unread

A book unread
a knowlegde unknown,
a world untraveled
a discovery unfound.
a man unwilling
a lot undone.
a path uncreated
a brigde unbuilt
a people unknown.
a peace untalked
a score unsettled.
a civilization unheard,
a ground untilt
a plant ungrown,
a food unknown,
a stomach unfed
a drug unreaserched
a disease uncured
a death is certain.
a tongue untamed
a word unheard
a culture unpraticed
a unity at large...
a love unfelt...

The Ending

The smile of a widow
concealed by the grave of love
the laugh of an orphan
fostered by jokes of the new home
The journey of the homeless soul
sheltered by the skies of million stars.

My Pain knows me

I have dealt with pain in ways unknown to man

I have shed tears where men find laughter

I have journeyed into oblivion of shame and reproach

I lost count of times when my heart didn’t give up on me

I have lain on the bed of sadness with my troubles as dreams

Even sadness had a glimpse of happiness when i walked in.

My complexion is as dark as my future ... i see void

My tears are the sweetest drink quenching my thirst.

Hope they say lies ahead, for me, rope i see hanging abreast.

Pain kidnapped me and after so many days

Pain felt so painful with itself for the cheap ransom

My life would offer for a painless freedom.

Head cast down i walked away from pain embracing nothingness

Then i saw death clad in black        

With the rumoured devilish grin

So it’s true, the picture of death painted in human mind.

He was grinning, am sure he hasn’t struck in a while

It was a grin of deadly defiance in the moment

And death came charging towards me. Still grinning

And then i smiled and ran towards it. Still smiling

The look on his face changed from grinning to grimace

Death must have thought i was deadlier...

Then he stopped...

But i didn’t, this was my last hope of leaving earth

And i will not let it go.

I have never seen anything or anyone ran from me

In such a way that death did. He ran as much as he could

So fast that i was sure something was chasing me

That made death even afraid of me...

Death felt fear, than the fear upon my life

If death can’t kill me, i ponder, what can take my life

I knew God wouldn’t take me, so no point in asking Him to.

And I couldn’t ask God the question that accustomed the revelation

Of defeat, denial, sad, sorrowful and neglected human ‘’God, Why me ‘’

My Heart In Africa

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

I've no reason to lie

And many reasons to love

All because of you Africa

You’ve given me friends I can keep

You’ve given me lands that I should sow and reap

All efforts are fruitful and no cause to weep

Oh! Africa more and more of you, I pray to see

I've one hope in life

And that is to make heaven

I've worked, prayed and strife

For its in Africa God is dearly worshipped

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

I've no reason to lie

But countless ones to love

And I can do that for Africa.

By my skin they should tell

by this vast lands they should know me so well

Nature is alive here and it cast a glorious spell

By my tongue they should know

By my blood like rivers that flow

By the moon, only on this land, it gives a glorious glow 

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

No reason to lie

And countless ones to love 

Africa you own my heart

You’re my land, my life, my house

Why won't I love to tell of your story?

Why won't I want the world to share of your glory?

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

No reason to lie

Many to reasons to love

Africa in my heart you come above

I don't know of lands faraway with miles

But in Africa the sun does have a beautiful smile

They know of you, because your children are bright

You have told them tales by the moon light 

I might have a reason to die

Only two to live

None to lie

Countless ones remain to love

All in you My Africa
