Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 2:34pm On Jul 17, 2006 |
Was thinking if we cld all put our heads together to write a poem.to make it as long as possible. it has to make sense though,and make i rhyme. If u have to start a new rhyme,add the next line. most importantly,it has to be relevant to the topic. I'll suggest a topic that every Nigerian can relate to. "Leaders we have,leaders we want, " Start, We all look to God to give us leaders we want forgetting we did so before,but it all came to not. Leaders we have are leaders we deserve, |

Any takers? |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by leketoye(m): 11:38am On Sep 09, 2006 |
Bad start. want, not, deserve are not very good rhymes to me. Guess we won't get anywhere with this. It's a failed project. |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by gwatala(m): 11:38pm On Sep 09, 2006 |
What do you mean Seun, I don't think my eyes make jest. I posted my lines here yesterday, at the Poser's request So what happened? Is it a knock on my/our scoff of the idiotic topic that you would deign to take it off I still don't think you got a right topic for this project Maybe if you suggest another, we can see better prospect. Don't just take off all you do not like, talk's free, no? The fun is really in the talking, not just blind follow follow. Let's rhyme. Let's put our words to use. Let's flow But don't let's begin with topics that're way too s/low. "The leaders we deserve", was that what he said we'd send? Ptuah. We'll never get them anyway so why pretend. Abeg talk something better o jare, well I won't suggest. It's yours to do, we'll just write, or we'll just protest. KT |

We all look to God to give us leaders we want forgetting we did so before, but it all came to not. leaders we have are leaders we deserve, they pull of an air of grandeur, they flaunt a mansion, butlers, diamonds on their (wo)men, a yacht, all for them, that is what we preserve. Should God take away our self-determination, lead us to the leaders we desire but won’t aspire? Look at each other, the world is ours to form. |

Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by somegirl(f): 2:49pm On Sep 21, 2006 |
TO EACH LEADER (reim dich oder ich fress dich! ) AND TO YOU indeed! we will bleed, if greed does lead. with speed, its seed will succeed if we cede. don’t heed its plead; there’s no need for this weed. we’d be freed if we did impede its misdeed. |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by gwatala(m): 5:06pm On Sep 21, 2006 |
And for each lost word, each vain spat in lure for our well deserved voice will not again go unclaimed, unasked for, ignored - that for sure. We now see clear. And we will never stay low. No more, no more. Yes, no more. Give us leaders, but not like we had before. |

Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by nanaboi(m): 4:12pm On Sep 22, 2006 |
I could swear I had a rhyme here someday Where is it now? Anyway, Our land is a LovePeddler steady switching beds. "What she needs" they conjecture, "is a good head" But she needs much more - good heads to bear the head. She had one once, yet she got him sore He lasted 7 months and he was no more If she were to have just one more she only but So from today onward Let her stare reality in her callous face: She cannot afford a good head For a good head sits on heads She has no heads to bear up a good head. |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by teno(f): 12:23pm On Sep 23, 2006 |
we're doing great, but enough of the negative side of the'' leaders we do have''and concentrate on the qualities of the ''leaders we do want'' leaders we want, leaders we need whose desire to rule supercedes the want of greed but leads in deeds of noble breed [/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by teno(f): 12:42pm On Sep 23, 2006 |

Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 1:19am On Nov 02, 2006 |
I started this topic as a way to express my feelings on the way this country is being run, its good to know others feel the same too a lot of the poems here are so good,if not for the msg they express,they can be used in any poetic competition. but u and i know,wat the leaders we have will feel about that, because, [b] leaders we have,sweat and strive to make sure their regimes survive. they'll intimidate,harass and incarcarate, till all opposition capitulate. with one view point and one only, oppossing will be a folly. EFCC,ICPC potent tools with which opponent are stifled and some even impeached. draconian laws meant to subjugate the masses, cause soldiers they are,but without khakis. public funds stolen and invested in private ventures, wat the future hold for us,we are not sure. now 2007 is here,where will they take us next, they'll kepp things as they are at best. so i'll just sit at home and bend my head in shame, cos i know,come 2007,it'll just be more of thesame.[/b] |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by teno(f): 2:21pm On Nov 03, 2006 |
at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. where have u been?i was beginning to think we"ll wrap it up w't out a single contribution from u imomoh.u'r rhyme is good too!thanks for the thumbs up. but then even if they don't like it .i am determined to make it public so all nigerians should see it. any suggestions? maybe we should send it to newspaper house. but then they might never publish it. |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 11:43pm On Nov 03, 2006 |
sup Teno been down with pneumonia.dat explains d absence. trying to take the msg out, hmmm i'll be careful if i were u though. newspapers will want money before they'll publish,thats why i dont believe anything i read in them only sure truth in papers are adverts,comon they are an extention of the system which we are talking about. so i'm not suprised. let me step aside a little for others to contribute. cheers |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by teno(f): 10:55am On Nov 06, 2006 |
that is true talk. thecountry is rotten. maybe we should write a poem on the piple too.well, nairalanders will see it for sure. |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 11:58pm On Nov 06, 2006 |
yeah we should, guess we should not underestimate the nairaland audience. walking around everyday as if in a daze, submitting to the antics of our leaders. with 2007 around d corner,here comes the next phase. possible culpability can we be accused of, accept things as they are regardless of what, guess of this suffering, we can't get enough. Teno take over let's see how far we can take this |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by charlyP1: 5:31am On Nov 09, 2006 |
Leades we do not hav 2day; Leaders we shal hav some day. We shldnt pick our leaders in a hurry. Doing so in d past has made us sorry. Leaders we do not hav 2day. Leaders we shal hav some day |

Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 9:27pm On Nov 30, 2006 |
Travo Teno. was wondering if u had deserted us, guess ur game just gets tighter with every poem. like ur passion and enthusiasm. Only wish we had more of ur type around, things would hv been a bit better. [center] whether we despise their lies their game wont change their excuses may be lame, having no shame. they are still the same, trying to elongate their reign. wish they'll strive for greatness, only then will they steal less. and worry more, for what they'll be remembered for. be that as it may, I'll suffice to say, that if we stand up and say nay, it'll be difficult for them to stay.[/center] |

IMHO, the best verse came from nanaboi. But then, a quick spit. . . Good leaders? Street dreams, street~dreams!, with the masses like street urchins, to feed we lick~bins, while they floss in 26 inch~rims, as a common man, always had dreams of making it big in Vegas, then i woke up and suddenly realised my ass was still Lagos, hustling. . .bustling, flies off my body i be tossing~ 'em, sweat pours down in bullets, toiling while see that politician livin' life to the fullest, we all wish for what's supposed~to~be, but reality contrasts my thinking, so it's opposed~to~me, like a class of dullards, we live in failed promises, strivin' to make a living, delayed promises, but when the night's done, the morning comes, cos even the Moon has to step down for the Sun!, |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by gbadex1(m): 9:49am On Dec 02, 2006 |
Was kinda bored. Oh, well. . . From tha G-man, another freestyle session, i pack more rounds of heat than a Smith 'n' Wesson, life in Naija, we toil and sweat acids, a politician's sh*t talk's much, but the looting's ever massive, from the military, with rogues disguising with tha shirt o' a Colonel, the flames ne'er burning, no light at the end of the tunnel, Work~in, Slave~out, Opression drummed~in, Submission came~out, if we live for today, n tomorrow we cry, then why crack a smile today, if we livin' to die?, but i keep my hopes up in Christ Jesus, believe him not, but He believes us, from the streets of L.A.G, it's the G-man, spittin' words that'd in turn elevate me, |
Re: Can You Put In The Next Line To Rhyme? by imomoh24(m): 10:52am On Dec 02, 2006 |
