NOSTALGIA OF GOD’S LOVE Scuffling through the List Grumbling for a Release Not knowing what to do Waiting for Doom Longing for an Ecstasy of Love Just like St Theresa Waiting for an available Pacer Just like a Racer.[/center] [center]Embodied by Pain Juxtaposed by Vain Satan Raging in his Tantrum The world crumbling in a Misery Phantom Everything seems Hopeless Man explicitly Clueless Divine attention needed Who will settle the Rancor? Who will Anchor the expected Glamour? [center]Suddenly! Christ came to ease the Pain[/center] From heaven’s Bound To Mary earthly Womb Customized by Calvary All the way to the Tomb A man without Sin Died for men Sin’s which is visibly Seen. A Gift is given! A Life is taken! Aeon of Peace emerging Eternal life assured Carnal pleasure extinct A bridge is constructed Man and God united: Through the Cross Satan at Loss Hell in Chaos The King is come’ Life is liberated! 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Naija, scam of a country Country that's a product of accidental arrangement Arrangement made by foreigners Foreigners that ruled with whips and chains Chains that still acts as barrier Barriers of party, tribe and religion Religion that should unite remains a seed of division Division of the country seems to be the easiest solution Solution that'll land you in irreversible incarceration once voiced Voiced complaints terribly frowned against and totally discouraged Discouraged the Sowores, Seuns, Felas, Falanas, the rich and poor Poor me, what can I do but to worry, wonder, watch, and wish? 73 Likes 10 Shares |

Blessed Mother As I beheld from above; With no choice of mine; Formed and lived within you; A sack that nourished me; Kicked severally; Desperately I wanted out; A swim of a life time; Find myself between life and death; Soon the ground I touched. My eyes, I beheld a new world. Heard of your nine months travail; It was just like a day. Option you had to put me in a trash can; Abandoned forever. Love flowed through the reddish liquid in your body; Sweat like thick emulsion. Push the midwife said; Tears like the ocean; The floor overflowed. Silent whispers; Crowded clinics; Congratulations the home front; Hand waves from the four winds... Smiles quickly drove out tears The honour of a lifetime do you deserve. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Midnight_Blues Jó Night You whom a melancholic heart speaks of Who taught me our love song in the comb of the wind And shared our dreams in the shadows of the dark Speak the night to be O'er And free my soul from the nightmares of sad realities. Jó Night The cold breeze hums our blue love song, The shadows stirs an unfulfilled lost dreams This tears will last much longer as it takes memories to fade. Speak thyself out of wonderland And free my soul from wander land Jó Night When morn comes, to whom will I cling? Is a turbulent night storm enough reasons to cringe? O night-in's-gale, O morn lily Speak that thy velvet voice May awoken the euphoria of a joyous dawn 1 Like |

Slumber and sleep no man ever profiteth from From dusk to dawn 24 hours count Count each second as gold Gold and silver, cometh to only those that sweat Sweat of vigilance, dignity, labor, thoughts, actions Actions that speaks louder than words, thoughts and dream Dream on your feet and not on your bed Bed and pillows and sofas are the beloved habitat of the poor and little Little sleep, little slumber so doth the poor man gradually slip into penury 12 Likes |

Down the riverbank I met her Her witty eyes clouded my thinking Thinking if she was mine Mine... oh, mine only. Only if she was still single Single at heart, character and body Body that has not been defiled Defiled by the strangers. Strangers be blind to her Her King is right here to take her home Home we go to be my queen Queen... Queen of my life. 15 Likes |

I hear the cry of mother Nigeria As her drowning ship sails through the shores of the Niger area Her tears overflows with agony Her once fruitful land, now a harbor of melancholy Her sons and daughters weep for their sinking sailing ship The captain is deep asleep He is oblivious of the stormy wind that leaps.

He walks With nowhere to lie Unattached to something Everywhere looks drab Tending towards hopelessness Temptations there to end it He walks But he walks Continued on unplanned paths With nothingness in mind He walks But to almost end As if an hour glass Measured life and near death Silence over time Time unlikely to overlap Time hid the about to ![]() Sprout an unexpected life Unveiled beautiful habitats Life awakens when almost end Pains go away As new born The beauty of life arrives He walks He never stopped walking ...Never get depressed. |
