Poems For Review / The Madiba Of Africa by pauldesimple(m): 2:53pm On Dec 11, 2013 |
Death, I envy you Of you, Madiba gave an envious view Your fear, he never submitted to And at his time, he smiled and embraced you Goodnight Madiba... Life, never again will I trust you Never again will I feel secured in you For with the good Madiba did in you Still you gave him up for death to pierce him through Goodnight Nelson, our great hero... O mother earth! I fear you more In your belly, lies the rich and the poor The mighty And the lowly The old, the toddler Now it's Madiba, our beloved leader Goodnight Mandela... Heaven, welcome the sojourner Earth, goodbye to a great achiever The Madiba of Africa 1 Like

Poems For Review / God Save My Nation by pauldesimple(m): 8:40am On Apr 11, 2013 |
God save my nation From its' leader's transformation For he gradually make destruction The best profession Having caused so much commotion With their unholy presentation And offering gory transportation For unsuspecting souls too many to mention Who had no intention To journey yet to their heavenly mansion Our Government favours the adoption And granting the perpetrators of this bastardization Who had refuse to embrace round-table discussion Amnesty with mouth-watery compensation Their intention They will stop this aberration But they see not that their action Will only give birth to further sects creation With destruction As the sole aim of their formation Since there is no condemnation But commendation And compensation For havoc creation So I beckon on our 'oga at the top' in Aso mansion To consider the opposite reaction Of his reversible decision Before it gives birth to an uncontrollable situation And spells greater doom on our nation

Poems For Review / Rape by pauldesimple(m): 11:04am On Apr 04, 2013 |
Raped And abused Now she is miserable And highly unstable With low self esteem Driving her to the extreme ‘It’s your fault’ was the response ‘Why do you dress like that’ they said in their defence But is there any justification For this bastardization? Any basement For this debasement? No wonder the victim Continues to swim In silence For her story makes no sense Like that of her mate Who had suffered the same fate No wonder she continues to live with the guilt Of what was never her fault Let’s continue the fight against rape By spreading and replaying the message like the tape And by being a listening society Where victims can confidently recount their adversity

Poems For Review / War Zone by pauldesimple(m): 11:20am On Apr 03, 2013 |
Sola was disowned by her parent Because she is pregnant How she came about it Concerns them not She had brought them shame She had destroyed their name The only daughter of Otunba and Iya Aafin Folorunsho The custodians of our culture Is about becoming a mother Of a child with an unknown father But how soon they forget That traveling is their pet And she is always at the mercy of Uncle Abass A professor of abuse And whenever they return To find her on They shower praises on her uncle Who had shown that he was capable Without asking How she was faring Now she is pregnant Their failure to keep their covenant Still she is to bear the brunt alone Oh! what a war zone Where you face the music of your mistake And in others punishment you'll still partake

Poems For Review / Goodnight by pauldesimple(m): 1:25pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
My pen refused to write Even after doing everything right And going down to plead Still it refused to give heed 'Let me lie That I might dwell with him on high Let me journey with the soul Who made for us a gorgeous stole Chinua is gone Why must I leave on?' But I beseech you o pen Listen before you depart from men Hold your breath That you might hear the solemn truth Chinua is dead But his course loses not its' head His legacies abound Even though he now dwells beyond He did his part Before things fell apart He is gone But his pen lives on Adieu Chinua Achebe Till we meet again at the glorious bay Goodnight! Goodnight!! Goodnight!!!

Poems For Review / God Heal Our Land by pauldesimple(m): 11:56am On Mar 21, 2013 |
Our land needs healing Its' soil needs cleansing Oh! Lord come to our aid Evil is carrying out a raid Daily we see blood on screens Daily we hear if flows at scenes On our waterways Or airways By cultists Or terrorists The right to peaceful co-existence had been defiled Old and young had been sacrificed But instead of the witch repenting Every labour produces another female offspring Another offshoot of more evil Oh! God save your people Heal our land For evil had made on it its' stand

Poems For Review / My Ordeal by pauldesimple(m): 12:25pm On Mar 20, 2013 |
My light nearly went dim Thanks for the holder of my dream I won't have been alive to tell the story By now, I would have been at the topmost storey The ground of no return But for God who held me on The cart would have been on course Long before the horse 'Tele...Tele...Tele' That's all I heard them say As I took to my heels To avert more ills I turned the fastest man on earth That my breath might live its length An experience I prayed not for my enemy Not to talk of another member of my family But are we not tending towards failure With a greater number of our future Now miscreants And secret cultists?

Poems For Review / The Good Old Days by pauldesimple(m): 4:17pm On Mar 19, 2013 |
Gone are those days The good old days When mothers were still girls Then there were angels But behold The centre no longer hold Today's role models Are the greatest ills Gone are those days The good old days When men were still boys Then maidens were never toys But behold Things are not the same with this fold Of every twelve Judases enjoy the better halve Gone are those days The good old days When marriage was at heart Till death do us part But behold That art is old In good times sweet shall be the chorus But in bad we go for divorce Gone truly are the days The good old days If only we can make a U-turn Then will they surely return

Poems For Review / At His Feet by pauldesimple(m): 10:20am On Mar 19, 2013 |
I hate love stories They bring back memories Old tunes Turned sad tales The more the patch up The more the bitter cup The more the hold on The more evil takes turn The once angel of my life Is now the cause of my strife My loving companion Is the new uncrowned W.W.F champion With the promise to care and cherish Now residing in the fertile soil of vanish And whenever I think of leaving My memory keeps singing Till death do you part Nothing should keep you apart But how long can I bear it? How long can I remain at his feet? Maybe today, maybe tomorrow |
Poems For Review / My Religion Is Of Peace by pauldesimple(m): 12:16pm On Mar 18, 2013 |
If your life means nothing to you Don't snatch breath away from those it means much to Don't cut their lives short Don't kill their dreams with your shot Because they accept not your way of adoration Even the father of creation Allows for free choice of religion So to the warlords The battle, if any, is of the Lord's Let the holy defend what is holy And men strive to join the perfect family Islam is a religion of peace Not of violence but of bliss

Poems For Review / I Love My Mum by pauldesimple(m): 2:45pm On Mar 10, 2013 |
Besides nature Man shares another feature With God his father And maker So dear to God's heart is this feature That he regarded not man's sinful nature But choose to be born of a woman Among the dozens of ways he can Share in our humanity And show us the way to eternity Mothers are God's gift to humanity Of them comes the human entity They are great treasures With no match for their measures They are rare gem Let us honour them I love you mum And I'll continue to whatever I become

Poems For Review / You Are Dust by pauldesimple(m): 11:50am On Mar 09, 2013 |
'Do you know who I am?' Asked Mr. Sam 'Do you know who you are talking to? It's obvious you don't and I'll put you through The president is my brother His wife the daughter of the closest friend of my father The state governor Was once my neighbour The speaker house of representative Is a close relative The inspector general of police married my sister And the attorney general was once my school mother Still you are dust And that you shall return at last Of what use is your connection then When it can't hide your name from death's pen? What is the benefit of you pride When against death it can't be your guard? What is essence of your ego When the state is as ditto? So remember always that you are dust And that you shall return at last

Poems For Review / Don't Be Knocked Down by pauldesimple(m): 2:33pm On Mar 07, 2013 |
Till you see the light Keep up the fight Knocked down anytime Stand and remain firm Refuse to be knocked out Quitters don't win the bout Winners are zeros Zeros made heroes They are never afraid of struggles And if they fail while trying to jump over hurdles They don't give up Their goal is the top So join the winning train Find no comfort on failure plain

Poems For Review / Love Is A Risk by pauldesimple(m): 1:09pm On Mar 05, 2013 |
Love is a risk For you know not what I seek But it remains the most interesting Of all that is existing Living without loving is never fulfilling Living and loving is truly refreshing Yes your good had been repaid with evil Instead of an angel you had dinned with the devil That is only your learning process At the end of the tunnel lies you success Bill was once a failure Today his name brings joy and pleasure Same is Thomas And most of our living and past heroes Living is a risky adventure It is nothing but a dicey venture So is all its' composition Love is never an exception So let out your feeling I might be the gold you are seeking

Poems For Review / Old School by pauldesimple(m): 9:45am On Mar 04, 2013 |
Do you listen to old music? Do you listen attentively to each lyric? Their beats Were indeed great hits Their notes were arranged in agreement Little wonder they make joints glow with excitement Come ask my father That was one of the tricks he used to woo my mother Their lyrics were carefully selected Melodiously arraigned and well cemented No wonder today's artists re-visit them for fix All in the name of remix Kudos to those old musicians They are better than today's tacticians Kudos to them for good melodies Better than today's harmonies If only they had today's gadgets They will out shine these present sets Old school songs are pleasant to the ears Listen to them and hear what you are missing all these years

Poems For Review / Waiting by pauldesimple(m): 3:10pm On Mar 03, 2013 |
Waiting is never friendly Are you prepared to follow faithfully? Waiting is a risk Are you prepared for the task? Not always does it pays Are you prepared for such race? If you coin falls on the tail Is that not a double failure sail? Tom once dwelt on that side At the end he committed suicide Kate once tread that path But for the quick intervention of Faith Thesame road Endurance took Today many long to read his exciting story book Same as Patience She was rewarded with her marriage to Lawrence Waiting is dicey Are you ready to swim in such sea?

Poems For Review / My Hand-over Note by pauldesimple(m): 12:06pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
I came into your life for a reason Now it's the end of my season And I must leave For you to continue to live Though my mission is incomplete I can't wait another minute With the trumpet in the mouth of the blower I have to hand over But my happiness Will be to see you match into greatness According to the will of the creator In this era of my successor Learn from every made mistake That your future may not be at stake Surrender all to God in the highest Still you must do your best Remember that it's work and pray Not pray and stay Thank you for allowing me into you life Thank you for the opportunity to journey with you especially in strife Though we will never see again I shall always remember our times of pain and gain I will continue to pray for you May God see you through Congratulation for making it into March 2013 Your beloved friend February 2013 HAPPY NEW MONTH PALS

Poems For Review / Beat Her Not by pauldesimple(m): 12:36pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
She is your wife Your better half Not one of your slaves You punish if she misbehaves She is your helper Given to you by the maker Don't be a boxer And make her regret being your lover There is bound to be misunderstanding For your relationship to be interesting Being brutal Will only make things abnormal So stop the brutality Give her vitality

Poems For Review / It's Pay Day by pauldesimple(m): 11:16am On Feb 28, 2013 |
It's pay day There shall be a goat to slay And lots of beer At bar for my peer So feel free ladies Feel free to join and enjoy the goodies There shall be no dull moment Tonight shall be full of excitement Even if you are committed You are cordially invited We are not new to the game Commitment is merely in the name So feel free to join the party Your security we can guarantee But keep in mind that for every action There is an equal and opposite reaction As for us, we have no fear It has been a monthly affair On every pay day We go home with a little fraction of our pay

Poems For Review / Fear Not by pauldesimple(m): 11:03am On Feb 27, 2013 |
Fear not he who intimidate you because of your writing He who can't stop you message from spreading Even if he keeps you behind bar He can't stop your piece from going far Even if he keeps you at distance Your work, he can't stop from reaching your audience You are a bearer of truth Let nothing stop you on earth Though you will battle with liars And untiring evil doers Their hearts they will block to your word Trailing the path of king Herod But you must not keep quiet Write on for you are a poet Don't let it be Cry out till the truth all will see Then all will stand upright For the truth is clearly at sight Fear not he who call kill the body But can't keep the message from being steady

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Barcelona Vs Real Madrid- Copa Del Rey (1 - 3) On 26th February 2013 by pauldesimple(m): 11:41pm On Feb 26, 2013 |
Has the mighty Barcelona Forgotten their winning formula Or why is the mighty falling? Are they rebranding? Just last week Their arsenal went to weak And tonight nothing could stop their bleed As they were white-washed by Real Madrid Is this the fall of an elephant The depature of another giant? |
Poems For Review / My Pen Is Crying by pauldesimple(m): 11:22am On Feb 26, 2013 |
When shall there be true freedom When shall justice prevail in our kingdom My pen is crying My ink bleeding When shall evil seize on our land And blood stain on our sand My pen is crying My ink bleeding When shall the first person singular Stop being the basis of every relationship's formula My pen is crying My ink bleeding For there to be national development Obligations must enjoy fulfillment Whether from the leaders Or from the followers My pen is crying My ink bleeding Our country shall survive Only when we overcome the evil of our divide My pen is crying My ink bleeding

Poems For Review / What Wll Be by pauldesimple(m): 11:48am On Feb 22, 2013 |
I heard you cry When he said good bye When he shut the door Never again to step your floor You sobbed Because you had been robbed Of your heart's pleasure A dream future Heavier than you is the tide And you felt like committing suicide 'Paul, it shouldn't had been you' But if not him, who else will do Dear, if a door closes Another's key looses If he says it's over He opens the door for a better lover What will be will be Soon the truth you will see And when it shall appear You will be glad it ended and you stayed clear

Poems For Review / You Have The Moment by pauldesimple(m): 1:03pm On Feb 21, 2013 |
If you are a president Lead well now that you are present Yesterday you were not there Today he is no where Tomorrow the cock will crow Then judgement will follow If you are a legislator Remember that minor And that senior citizen in your community Who placed their trust in your ability To speak for them at that height Fight against being deprive of their right And represent them well Especially when ills quell If you are a judge Misuse not your power at your lodge Remember your oath To stand for the truth Your commitment To deliver the right judgement In every situation In accordance with the constitution If you are in government You have the moment But tomorrow belongs to the father of creation And the least citizen of the nation 1 Like

Poems For Review / I Love Writing by pauldesimple(m): 11:08am On Feb 20, 2013 |
I love my pen It had saved lots of men From men's cruelty And their wicked superiority I love my ink It always provide a link To access situations And proffer lasting solutions I love my paper It is always around the corner Never tired of my disturbance Always patient in my annoyance I love my words They are my swords Sometimes I punch it Other times it is soft and looks unfit But I am always on point With the message in front I love writing It is my calling 1 Like

Poems For Review / Missing Valentine by pauldesimple(m): 10:18am On Feb 13, 2013 |
I had looked for her everywhere And couldn't find her anywhere I had searched for her in all corners If you see her please call any of my numbers For it is few days to her anniversary And she is nowhere around the storey Jokingly she said she was going away Never to come back for moon play For men had destroyed her name Their female folks had turned her to a game And when the consequences come She becomes the sacrificial lamb 'It happened on valentine's day' That's all they will say 'They had taken away my true identity And celebrate me with unholy activity' So if you see her around your structure Clothe with her true nature

Poems For Review / Nemesis is close by by pauldesimple(m): 1:45pm On Feb 12, 2013 |
O man of corruption Doom is yours when caught by Economic and Financial Crime Commission But blessing becomes your lot When charged to court O expert in misappropriation Shame is yours when nabbed by Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences commission But the story changes When you face some of our judges But listen o pen robber Listen o corrupt officer Nemesis is close by Vengeance will never pass you by And that judge who covered your shame Will be unable to delete you name From the book of sufferers From it's wailing chapters He who saved you from imprisonment Will be unable to avert your punishment

Poems For Review / Police Is Your Friend by pauldesimple(m): 4:51pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
We saw the bottles flying And the cutlass sucking As it separated hands from their joints And legs from their fixed points Everyone took to their heels Except those watching from the hills Then came to the community Men commissioned to protect with integrity But they made our night darker And our pains bigger They did a general raid That spared no maid They filled their locked room With men who had no broom While the real culprits Enjoy in their haven on their streets 1 Like
