We all woke up in hope of the new dawn, Never were we told of an impending agony, It was a promise of water in the basket, Vail of tribal enthusiasm beclouds the sights of many. The chants of “EMILOKAN” pervaded the air, As thoughtless youths uphold an empty mandate, Though not without temporary pleasuresContinue reading “Sunset at Dawn”

REFLECTION!
The reality of life crows, It’s echoes filled the belly of the dawn Never a life lived longer, Than the chilly rode of death.

What bores you? The present despicable state of my country, (Nigeria)
THE PITIABLE STATE OF A STATELESS STATE!
How could I walk down the street, where tears and pains rule with fierce anger, How could I preach the gospel of peace, where hunger and anger stand with dagger.

NOTHING ELSE !
What makes you feel nostalgic? The cost of appealing to my pen to wake from deep sleep Pleading to have him back at his full potential, That he might paint the marbles with a touch of sapphire and onyx, And the paling walls of words might be reinvigorated, As the downcasts find some words ofContinue reading “NOTHING ELSE !”
