I AM MY OWN LONELINESS, MY OWN PURPOSE AND MY OWN LIFE.

I am not confided in my own perpetual illusion

As it was told of me that I am

I live in a world only which I understand

Full of illusion on the other hand

It is like playing a guitar with one less string

Feeling a nonsensical rhythm from the west wind

Quite truthfully I will love to be alone

Without more than 7 billion people

And a family fully condescending prone 

Alone is a mindless thought and feeble

Maybe not really achievable

At a point in life one only can be ones' own family

Freeing oneself from the helpless conformity  

Of those who made others their baseless gods

Striking out the facts and sticking to biased odds

I stand alone for myself

Whatever I owe anyone I shall pay

I am my own vision

My very own dream I obey

My own correctional facility

I am indeed my own purpose for my own life

I shall speak otherwise of nothing

If what I want to be doesn’t turn to something 

The END Of It All (Part 1)

On this lonely road
It's hard to get by
With so many years of lies
Lying unanswered behind
Beneath the cloudless skies
Hopelessly plots the lost mind

This Emptiness is meant to be enjoyed
Within the walls of my heart enclosed
Spirits of nowhere unknown
Welcome to the finished life unseen

Longer are the treacherous miles
Shorter are the lovers smiles
The truth that were never spoken
Led to those hearts that came broken

How then it all turned out
What beautiful life never came about
For the hate that led to journey
Will bring fought the end quickly

I AM SORRY.

Sorry
A word I know that heals
A word I know that cures
A word that settle scores
A word that washes the heart pure

Sorry
I have known thee for too long
I have known how love became strong
I have known how hate hits the gong
I have had my friendship with you wrong

Sorry
Find an unused part of your heart to forgive
Then and there my mind shall know relief
For far too long your thought in me was branded with grieve
This made our hearty mind know each other with brief

Sorry
When and where will I find a friend like you?
That will tell me how much life and love is true
That will tell me friendship is one heart not two
That makes me smile when the skies chose to be blue

Sorry
I have said it for the world to know
I said it with my heart willing to show
You are a friend that craves my life to grow
Time will not bring us apart not even low.

No Perfect Man...

If you want a perfect man

You could build him yourself

You could think him into existence

How handsome you want him to be

How flawless and regal you want him to stand

You could make him not white, black or coloured

Since he is going to be the perfect example of perfection

His existence does lie in your mind and imaginations

If you desire a perfect man

Who shall not lie in the course of his life

You could spring him forth from thin air with your own truth

You could make him the required age of your standard to be his wife

 So you won’t have to worry about feeding him the forbidden fruit

But if you can’t by any means create a man

Love the one you have found

And if you haven’t found the one you can love

Wait till the one who will love you finds you

There is no man without his own share of mistakes

In fact the percentage of mistakes are equal the population of man

There is no perfect man

All you could get out of the best of them

Is your own joy and happiness

When lost, I find things beyond what I could comprehend

A Christmas Of Love (1)...

Wake, Wake, Wake, me first
The jingle bells of Christmas burst
If for this awesome day I truly thirst
The birth of Christ is right and Just

Merry, Merry, Merry, let me find
In this season let smiles and love have me bind
Joy, Joy, Joy untold in my mind
As Christmas looms and other days now behind

Up, Up, Up, The hill
I will find some beautiful souls a gift
These is my solemn Christmas will
And that if I find another fallen heart I will lift

Whence, Whence, Whence, will I go
Where Christmas songs are not sang so
Trees, Minds and Smiles cast a glorious glow
The birth of Christ has indeed brought a wonderful show.

Our Lives Matter!!! (Black Lives Matter...)

Maybe its time to tell

Maybe its time to speak

Keeping silent degrades us

Making us feel unknown and less powerful

They are deforming our essence of existence

Our complexion is now becoming the crime

Maybe its time we get serious with our lives

By standing up to demand for what is right

Not allowing superior complex to weaken us

Our strength lies in our words

Our words comes from our heart

For so long we have watched our lives been toyed with

Too far long we stayed behind unclosed doors

Scared of unknown plagues that could harm us

Its time we speak without holding back

Its time we fight back before it gets dark

We will uphold our strength and fortitude

Then it will be said of us that we never back down

Our names will be carved on the stone of time

Read and re-read by generations to come

We never did the wrong they said we did

We did the right thing we knew we should do.

THEY LIED ABOUT ME!!!

A lot of things I didn't say

But they say I said it

Many things I didn’t do

They say I did it

There are more I don't know about

They made it known to you in a shout

I am not worried about them

I am not bothered about what they have told you

My concern is about you who knew me and still believed them

You listened to them; you trusted their words of shame

They reformed your mind to misunderstood me

Your thoughts when you see me is now negative

They made you seize your smile for me

Helplessly wanting to love you, they have made you hate me

I didn't do anything wrong

Neither did I say those things they say I said

Their intentions is to have you misled

I will not hold my truth back for you instead

It is you I know, it’s you I love

Whatever they say about me doesn’t come above

Psalms Of Penitence (2)

For where I have gone wrong

Let it not be where I pay for my wrongdoing

For the sins that are monstrous and I got away with

Let it not be the little ones I pay dearly for

Those lies I thought will put my life together

The lies I thought will shape my fame and fortune

Forgive me those sins that are addictive and seeming uncontrollable

Let not my future be a representative of my past

By the steps I have taken that is similar to it

Let not my present be a definitive conclusion of my wellbeing

If I am to pay for my iniquities

I will come to the world 10 times over and perish at each coming

Without atonement that will suffice for each entering

But I have called out in tearful agony

I have knelt down on ageless burning coal

That YOU should hear me

Hid my plea

Save my soul

I am way past my deliverance....

I am way past salvation

I am due for MERCY.

 

to be continued...

You're Worth More to Many...

Do you know who you are?

Have you even thought of those who want to be like you? 

Those who want to live like you, dress like you and think like you

There are some who smile because they see you

Some derive happiness in knowing you are still alive everyday

Some work so hard because you are a source of inspiration to them

Do you know how many are now helping others because you helped them?

Did you know who saw you and felt loved instantly 

Those who speak greatly of you without knowing your name

Some describe you by your smile and loving heart

You have made Angels direct some to your path

Some are now reaping fruit of love because of the seed of care you sowed in them

No!!! You don't know who you are to them

No!!... You don't know who they are

These are the people you know.... 

Those who call the beauty on your face ugliness 

Those who told you your clothes are now common and you try to buy new ones

The people who leave crumbs for you and make you feel you are worthless

The same people you think have something to give you

You associate yourself with disrespectful minority neglecting the fact that you are great to majority

The very same people who laugh with you at dawn, they make death plans for you at dusk 

Your standard does not lie with how big or successful someone else is

Your existence is enough to signify you are worthy of greatness

You Fear them and they can't give you the air you breathe

Your life is yours as long as it’s yours...

Be inspiring with it. Be genuine with it.

some still pray for the little you have

some still wish they have what you want

because they believe in your choices 

be real. be you.... you are worth more than what people say.

Psalms Of Penitence ... Part 1.

I want to fall down in your presence

I want to gravel at your feet

To feel you gracious unending fragrance

O LORD I want to have your mercy to meet

Your breathlessness is wholesome to my existence

I desire to worship you beyond what defines earth

You cannot change yet you change things that seem unchangeable

You cannot die yet you give life to what is dead

Enrich my soul; feed my righteousness with everlasting grace

My sin has overwhelmed me beyond tears

I have willingly neglected righteousness 

I seek no other means of life than to bury myself in your words

My heart is empty

My vision is cloudy

My goals are aimless

My dreams are void

My feet are lost

O LORD hear my cry

A relentless plea for revival

A sinful soul clamming for survival

I am drowning in the ocean of my regrettable past

I am waiting helplessly in the labyrinth of my non rewriteable present

O LORD hear my plea. Save me. 

My reproach is stench even unto me, let alone you.

I .... am ready to be saved. Hear me!!!! (nakedly weeping) ... 

To Be Continued....

Beyond Life.

Beyond unique

Unfound is the word that describes me

Beyond earth

Unknown is the grounds that fits me

I am crafted beyond the imaginations of the greatest sculptor

Beyond the greatest words that defines mankind

I am spelled by the awesomeness of greatness

Every line that lies on each of my finger

Took a thousand years to make

Every strand of hair on my head was tendered to by time and art

Beyond what your mind believed is beauty

Is the word that soothes only the opening of my smile

What is proven to be a lifetime of happiness by man

Is the very same happiness that is felt in a second in my heart

What has been said to condemn my existence by man

Has been refined, reused for glory to reborn the same men that said it

I have knelt down to whisper jokes to Heaven while others prayed

God has a sense of Humour; He smiled through the winds and waves

He laughed through the strike of thunder and lightning

You see: I am not your average minded man ungrateful

Beyond what is of this earth is what makes me fruitful.

Beyond this life is my love

Beyond this love , is my peace. 

Silence Our Survival

Silence is survival
Those who spoke up
We attended their funeral
Those who look up
We question their countenance
Brethren, Silence, I regret to say, Is survival.
Those who kept quiet
We see them tomorrow night
Those who are granted access to the corridor of power
Come out to tell us we should be calm
Everything is under control
In their pockets we hear the jingling of coins
Brethren, Silence, shameful of me to say, is survival
A friend of mine said ‘’too many keyboard activist’’
The revolution we wage is from our electronic device
I wonder what you will tell you children’s children
When they ask you where you were when The Country was failing
I know what i will tell mine, on my dying bed
Children, silence is survival.
We are here today because we kept quiet.
WE ALL KEPT QUIET!!!
WE ALL WATCHED!!!
*fading voice* we made Silence our survival —

Let Me Grow, Find me Home

Oh! Let me grow

Please let me bloom

I have my heart unwrapped for education

Not this selfless, mindless humiliation

Don’t take me from my home

Where i still weep for what I am yet to know

Don’t take me from my sisters with whom i play tic tac toe

I am fresh out of play grounds;

 Mother is not even done with my growing yet

How will my fragile life cope with your act...?

My dreams are scary enough already

I can’t even tell mother what i dreamt of

Don’t make my existence a living nightmare

I have painted pictures of rainbow over my books

While reading them has brought me endless joy

Let me live, let me grow... i am just a child

I am just a child. 

It Is Time.

Maybe its time to tell

Maybe its time to speak

Keeping silent degrades us

Making us feel unknown

Deforming our essence of existence

Maybe its time we get serious with our lives

By standing up to do what are rights

Not allowing superior complex to weaken us

Our strength lies in our words

Our words cometh from our heart

For so long we have watched our lives toyed with

Too far long we stayed behind unclosed doors

Scared of unknown plagues that could harm us

Its time we speak without holding back

Its time we fight before it gets dark

We will uphold our strength and fortitude

Then it will be said of us that we never back down

Our names will be carved on the stone of time

Read and re-read by generations to come

We never did the wrong they told us to do

We did the right thing we knew we should do.

#BringBackOurGirls #BringBackOurDaughters 

Responsible For Yourself

The human mind crafted with selfless beliefs

Beliefs that gave it a choice of its own

A choice that became a decision

Decision that turned into reality

Regret and reproach seldom apprehends our decisions

I feel sorry for those who gave advice to those minds

‘’it’s your fault i turned out this way’’ blames fired on both barrels

‘’you told me to chose what i never wanted’’

Responsibility becomes an emptiness filled with darkness

A darkness that comforts the mind of the blamer

Thinking his mind would have done better judgement call

For the choices it once had, for the options it once possessed

You gave way to what happened to you

Your foolishness was wisdom to you then

Your trust for another human to make your choices for you

Happened to be the gullibility of you been incapable

Not fit enough to wield responsibility...

You were stripped of the captaincy of your own heart

And handed the role of a janitor in your own life

Your incapacity to control your state of mind

Turned you into a viewer while someone else fine tunes your life for you

 Each of your tears is one night long of a nightmare

You will not wake up to reality until u control your dreams

Until you take responsibility and accept that what happened to you is no one’s fault

But yours and your choices that led to your decision.

Wake up and live on, fight on ... love on

Your heart break is your state of mind

If you have moved on and wise up let that be for you alone.

Correction to your mistakes shouldn't toughen you up

Correcting your past shouldn't make your life a military zone

You are alive for a second chance not revenge plan

You have the right to take control the right to create a new you.

Missing in life but not in Heart (Flight MH370)

Where else to look

Our souls, our minds, our conscience

They say the world is a small place

Where then in it is a big plane

With hearts united across the world

We are running out of tears

Our minds is filled with increasing fears

Prayers are now letters with no postal stamp

Sent to heaven but sank in the depth of the ocean

Where else to look where else to search

Our past, our ways, deep unknown

Endless array of gruesome thoughts

If could be handled but which could be fought

Time and time again each brick that lays a foundation of hope

Sadly breaks and turns into another disappointing clueless slope

The smiles of those helpless souls on board

That can’t be described with ordinary words

I never knew man could still be subjected to a mindless mystery

Where science seems a year old beside long term history

What crime is there to say goodbye to a loved one

What sin is there to wait for arrival of the long gone?

What goes up nature proves must come down

Flight MH370 we are waiting for you in town

Our thoughts of you have increasingly grown

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.
