Great Expectations "Out of my thoughts! You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since - on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with. The stones of which the strongest London buildings are made, are not more real, or more impossible to be displaced by your hands, than your presence and influence have been to me, there and everywhere, and will be. Estella, to the last hour of my life, you can't choose but remain part of my character, part of the little good in me, part of the evil. But, in this separation I associate you only with the good, and I will faithfully hold you to that always, for you must have done me far more good than harm, let me feel now what sharp distress I may. O God bless you, God forgive you!"  |

UC WEB... Unless a cryin' cub can lie n' play no ploy with a lyin' antelope *Chai, my chi, yeh, me an herbalist! Nibo, you treat no trudgin' guillotine a stupe. Where's that that that titchy-some dull? Thrust me, yes, yes, yes bring it here *kekere awo Emergency demise, need makin' an animismic being, leave, flow, go *Badamosi o, this calls have grown to three times, wreakin' the head of this dull *orunlaala, leave this world o...! Chai is one of the many exclamatory remarks we have in #Nigeria... Kekere awo is an or may be called alias and in this piece he is a young boy, an acolyte of the herbalist that need to do evil again... Nibo means impossible... Badamosi is a name just like John, the name of the figure the herbalist need to butcher with his charmed dull for... Orunlaala, meaning here, place of the dead... 1 Like |

Prisoners at Will I am a prisoner in my own home The only difference is that I have the keys My bars are cut to exactly to my size The walls I built with my own biceps The Parish priest blessed the foundations Even my enemies celebrated the completion I am the hunted in my own jungle A prey to the mouth I fed with grace Edible game to the spouses of those I freely give Their dane riffles, I polish with my tax The pallets we casted in my fathers foundry Now like I chicken I have gone for the roast Suddenly, I am told to lock up My jailers thousand of miles away but, Sit in your cell! He screams, or be fed to the desert dogs The fear of the dogs or the screams of the jailer Both the source of eternal fright Just last week the dogs eat them all in onak! Now I have to dig my borrow deeper With a thousand escape routes to puzzle the hunters Down! Down!! I dug till I found myself in the zoo At least, here the hunters are out of bounds But thought of the forest still makes me wonder How many prisoners at will will ever get their freedom!

chinnyness122: Sorry, ma'am. |
| Re: The Poets' Café : Chat Room! by Mynd44: 7:37am On Dec 25, 2014 |
chinnyness122:You are money, Bewitching is not your purpose Fretting is not our either but both happens We fight because we need you. We die because we have been lied to That we don't truly live without you You don't create quarrels, we do that ourselves Our enmity arise from our innate selfishness Our greed the fuel that drives us Our hunger the fear we flee from Our security our destination And our humanity we forget in that quest Your value is all we want In that is treasure hence our hearts Our eyes blinded to all else As our brains turn on in a different way when you are mentioned Amuse you don't but you make smiles show Impractical as it is, to some happiness you bring You are captivating We look up to you like a god A god we cant do without A god that leads to our destruction A god we can burn our world for Yet you are simply money An invention of ours It is so beautifully ironic That we worship something we created We die over something so inconsequential We base our life on something so immaterial We ignore the important things And chase after shadows Oh money. Punish me not with lack of you Fill my stores Yes my heart is poison with your need and I know it But this addiction I cant fight And a fight with you I cant win Blame me not I did not make you a legal tender I did not make you a god My fathers did And I am but a creature of instinct Money I wake up to see another sun Yet I don't admire the sun in his majesty I chase an invention so intangible |

Wake up every morning with the same dream Get out of bed for the same purpose Leave the house before the Apollo does And hit the streets to get paid Walk untill your feet curse you That is the curse we all share out of We lie plunder and sometimes murder We loot, kick and bribe We supress our conscience with the end point And we master our games like athletes We starve ourselves happiness And we ignore the little things We look to the future and we smile This hustling must pay Will pay Has to pay Else we will die trying We are following a tradition We have signed our lives over to paper We chase it with diligence We dream about it We think about it We have plans for when we get it Because that is our job It is our life It is our purpose We cant do without it Just leave us to this And we are happy Our pride We have to get the paper Those of high value Those we buy 'em jewels with And we make the world notice us We will not rest until we get it And not rest even after we get it. This is a religion If you don't have the faith you won't understand It is a a way of life Our priests are set And our prophets known We are who we are. Paper chasers they call us Ambition is the game Money is the end result And wealth the over view Give us the money Or let us be Our lust insatiable Our purpose infallible The results invaluable And what do we do with the rewards? Invest the money And get back to hustling The paper chaser's creed |

The beauty of thoughts lies in words Else our race is lost Our hopes to dust In a world with woes as vast. Hoping to get signals from this mast. I greet u all! |
