@ Palmer "Do not search for love Becos "LOVE IS DEAD" Search for the living And not the dead LOVE is among the dead". Now why do I have the feeling that this was written while you were swimming in the sea of heartbreak? LOL Eloquent expression of heartfelt disappointment in Love. I like it. ![]() |

Hi all, just thought I'd share another poem with you all, if you like it and would love to see more pls follow the link at the end. Cheers! PS: Comments woul be appreciated. Citizen of the world Khaleefa ©2005 I’ve heard the winds howls Countless bells’ chimes Far in the Savannah, Lions growls Crossed many rivers Slept in the wild, endured many shivers Skiied and snow-boarded many a slope Surfed, rode the waves, oooh, how dope I’ve travelled the world From Jersey to Johannesburg Lagos to Luxemburg Heard its each and every word I’ve stood under the stars Marvelling the vastness of space Wondering the day we’d make it to Mars I’m a son of the Earth ‘Been that …right from birth I’ve eaten its fruits, drunk its wine Read its poetry, line after line Its tyrants, its statesmen, their story word for word Held its daughters in carnal embrace And celebrated the beauty of their body, their face Yes, I’m a citizen of the world http://poet-khaleefa..com/ |

@ Orikinla You should get this published in The Guardian, Millions of Nigerians and friends of Nigeria would benefit immensely from it. I know I did. ![]() |

To be honest, I've always been a poet. As a child I was painfully shy consequently I loved using a few words to speak volumes. In my adolescent years, I found joy in summarizing the world around me into a few colourful words. My voracious appetite for reading only served to fuel the process. As an adult I developed into a fine public speaker, MC, and part time TV/Radio presenter. The poetry was never faraway though as all my speeches resembled the ladies miniskirt: Short enough to be very appealing, yet long enough to cover the subject matter. ![]() ![]() My first collection of about 250 poems was lost back in '90 but since then, I've penned some 500 poems some of which are published on a number of internet site under my pen name. |

@ Jesusfreak Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like the poem and it'll be my pleasure to share the rest of it with you. ![]() @ Orikinla *Taking a bow* Thank you sir, you're most kind ![]() @iice So glad you like it @ All Ok folks, here is the whole poem: If I Be a Poet Copyright Khaleefa ©2005 If I be a poet I’d write many a beautiful sonnet Paint with words a colourful utopian world And make come to pass every single word If I be a poet I’d write about a moment In time, when hunger is in the past And in the heart of men, I’d pen Brotherly love, black, white, yellow all as one If I be a poet I’d write praise and devotion To the Lord who called me to that vocation I’d seek the gift of persuasion So I can reach into the heart of man And quench his flaming obsession For wanton self destruction With my perfect verse I’d pour oil over trouble waters And with its soothing rhythm silence the guns and mortars And put world decay into reverse If I be a poet I’d write a magical verse It’s every word erasing hate And tell the adults it’s not too late Tell the kids the future is theirs Show them they can make it better I’d write tomorrow a letter *I also write under the pen name Don Abdul |

Hello Nairalanders, Pls is there anyone here who can help with the following info?: 1) What Airlines run flights from Lagos To Nairobi (Kenya)? 2) How much does a business class Return Ticket cost? 3) Do I require a Visa, and if yes, any ideas on the easiest way to get one?
