POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
it controls my step by the day,preoccupy my mind at night,keeps me busy in my dream and wakes me up like a king.
Ennui
Is this what life's all about?
Misery,loneliness,poverty and tears
How many more years before i get to the promise land?
Where did i fail?
God is this my destiny
To live in penury and solitude
This's mere existence
Nothing heroic,nothing poetic
Life's a trap for a broke black man
God is this the plan?
Is there something responsible for my lack
Or I'm i just another victim of a demonic attack?
The message's meaningless
To a man who's not substantially blessed
I try to smile,but behind the smile
Is a broken heart,
a broken spirit...

This's what it is
Even though life's complex
simple i'd be
Even when i cant speak
i would communicate
Even in the dark
i would illuminate
In sceptical times
i would stay positive
Where men see no chance
there i would advance
They say the strongest's the conest
i would stay honest
And even though the world's no peace
In perfect peace i would live
Life in devotion's bliss
and this's what it is
simple i'd be
Even when i cant speak
i would communicate
Even in the dark
i would illuminate
In sceptical times
i would stay positive
Where men see no chance
there i would advance
They say the strongest's the conest
i would stay honest
And even though the world's no peace
In perfect peace i would live
Life in devotion's bliss
and this's what it is

Mistake
You make me cry
You make me look stupid
You make me feel I'm nothing
You make me lose everything
You show up uninvited
You cause a havoc
I wish i could help it
But most times i can't
The more careful i try to be
The more of you i make
How do you even come about?
What's the way out?
They say it's natural
They say its normal
I'm tired......
Henceforth,from my life
you are fired
You make me look stupid
You make me feel I'm nothing
You make me lose everything
You show up uninvited
You cause a havoc
I wish i could help it
But most times i can't
The more careful i try to be
The more of you i make
How do you even come about?
What's the way out?
They say it's natural
They say its normal
I'm tired......
Henceforth,from my life
you are fired

Euthanasia
My love,
the only thing i adore
The girl after my heart,
the only star in my sky
The only feeling that flows in my spine,
the secret behind my weary smile
You are my sickness,
these tears are my witness
There's no way out of this bondage,
I am helplessly hopeless
It's killing me,
the doctor cant help me
How can i stay away from you,
when you're the only remedy
They wont call her for me...
They rather bother me with the syringe
The nurse says i'd be well
But without her,my life's an empty hell
As i lay on my...

Apology
Im worried cos its like you're worried
and i feel so sorry
Its bad you're sad
I wish I never had
To use your name like a game
In my little play
I never meant to disrespect
I expect no rest Cos i suspect
You are nursing a plan to underhand
My true sound would stand
If only you can understand
Obsession fated my stylish appreciation for destruction
Misguided notion and now commotion.....
This reality was simply far from my vision
Or Im i just a prisoner of my fear
cos i hear your silence speak in tones unclear
And I...

Monster lover
Look what you've done to me
look what you've made of me
I cant look in the mirror
A complete horror's what i see
Once i loved you with a passion
A sister,a friend and a companion
Now payback is the magnetism drawing me close
Repeatedly I'll sting,until the venom's overdose
Did you make me suffer much
just to see my sincerity?
Or was it just a callous urge
To gratify your saddistic streak?
What a pain you exposed my fragile heart to
Too late for humour now Mrs Game
Naturally,having you at last should bring a sense of...

Idryad
I read your comment sometime in November
in the deep underground
then i was barely a member
A bizzarre poet in the making
Typing with hands shaky
Taking that first step not sure of what to expect
Its true....
Every man loves love and respect
Then my first little pet
In its shabby little dress
Made from fabrics of deep emotions
From you got its first caress
You read what was written on her chest
With your words....
You made an opening like a game of chess
In my mind's eye i was the king
under the magnifying lens of an all powerful...

The Light
It's shining
brighter than ever before
Can you see it?
There's so much pleasure in the pain
there's plenty in nothing
So much meaning in the meaningless
and so much comfort in all the stress
It's time....
The time has come for the wretched of the earth
To rise and take our place
in the comity of nations
Time to forsake our father's ways
They sold out
in ignorance albeit
They carried us along in their unworthy course
of purposelessness and self-serving greed
Now we've seen the light
Now we must agree
to do what they have...

Canaan's Curse
Butter's for bread
Poverty's for the black race
In the midst of plenty
we walk about in grimace
Morality's eroded
Integrity completely lost
Ignoble philoshy's upholded
Materialism a racial curse
Butter's for bread
Poverty for the black race
Scholars blame the others
clergies blame it on mr lucifer
Is it a mere coincidence
That all in black skin face thesame
socio-economic and political travails
Using the name of God to disguise our silly games
Leaders are myopic in conception
The followers are completely...

PERFECTION
Raised out of dust
could have been just a clay pot
But He gave us breathe
and the image of the Father
Disobedient we was destined for God's anger
but Christ paid the price now we sing a song of redemption
This's our journey;
journey into perfection
We've been chosen from birth with divine ordination
We are light illuminating the Nation
And we'll be raised up with Christ as rulers of God's kingdom
This's our journey;journey into perfection
We may fall seven times
seven times we'd rise back to action
Wrestling against the forces of...

The vow
She was fourteen and i was seventeen
Call it juvenile deliquency
but we found love as a teen
We were ignorant but we were determined
We loved our relationship and cherished everything it meant
Stubborn,beautiful and smart
she'll do anything not to lose me
Egoistic,possesive and jealous
i'll do anything to keep her for me
But in a world with no assurance
and time a constant enemy
We had to do what we had to do
if we must savor our little dream
What can be stronger than blood?
Once we agreed there was no going back on our word
