Poets Needed! by tonymaz(m): 4:31pm On Oct 25, 2011 |
I'm a poet. I want to have a regular contacts with poets,and creative giants who would crtitcize, analyse and share ideas . i have few of three of my worst poems here: i can be reached through: uchetonnyoptimist@yahoo.com LOVE What makes the world go round? Defying all scientific findings, Beating the wise of all ages, Arresting all human minds, Asking no why? Love What flows in its natural language? Making black look white? Infecting with cosmic magnetism? Respecting no status, age and color Making all wrongs right Love What spread mysterious feelings? Solidifying peace and unity Melting all stone heart Beating all imaginations Being blind to all flaws and mistakes Love What caused the Calvary sacrifice? Reigning everlastingly Fathering all emotions Directing human judgment Mixing all races and tribe Love I WILL KEEP THEM AT BAY I will keep them at bay Lest my days be numbered My battery loose charges My stay here laden with regrets I will keep them at bay Beings lions in the waist Chicken in the head Man’s best friend and foe I will keep at bay Not to go the way of Adam First father and wonderer Cloth of glory stripped I will keep them at bay You Grace! Keep the nerves in check Oh! God, quench the fire in the eyes You Bible, keep my mind above I will keep them at bay To grab the everlasting Live with infinity Dine with the king of kings WHY SHOULD MY HEART NOT BOIL Why should my heart not boil? Selection begetting the seat of power. Courts injunctions, mere tombo talk. Elective posts predetermined Appointments, stooges acting a script Why should my heart not boil? Steady electricity, utopian dreams, Oil boom, economic doom More strikes more hikes More advisers, more misdeeds Why should my heart not boil? Meritocrats forsaken, lootocrats celebrated Felony now party affairs Opposition thrown to the dogs Dews of tears flooding the land Why should my heart not boil? Messiahs at far lands, foe at home Rule of law only in the book Hyper corruption at high places The impunity of horrors more deadly Why should my heart not boil? Unemployment mounting to the peaks Real leaders out of the system Mere mediocre on the stage Custodians of law now breakers Why should my heart not boil? Hospitals mere clinics Airport mere motor parks Boarders over perforated Roads death traps Why should my heart not boil? It’s twenty naira or your life Rich in oil, top in penury Most religious, most corrupt Certificates piece of garbage |
