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.

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.
