I SALUTE
For all my comrades in the struggle lending their voices, Viva la revolucion
This is for you willing to make sacrifices for the oppressed people’s liberation
This is for all fallen heroes who pay the supreme price for peace in our nation
This is for every youth who is willing to fight for his rights without hesitation
This is for the courageous who will never back down no matter the intimidation
This is for the enlightened liberals who know the struggle is for our redemption
This is for the righteous interceding for us in prayers to God for His intervention
This is...

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
(Book of Instincts)
You needed a role model and a father figure but the man wasn’t there
You looked up to yours moms but she left you without love and care
You feel like you are all alone in your darkest moment of despair
Nobody seems to understand your daily grievances and plight
Depressed and lonely most times you can’t find sleep at night
You contemplate suicide but deep down inside; you know it ain’t right
Everyday life for you is like a battle and you’re getting tired of the fight
Fasting and praying while the pastor keeps asking you to pay your...

MIND PHILOSOPHY
I’ve studied the blue print of Africa’s forgotten and unsung revolutionaries
I spark conscious thoughts of revolutionary ideology amongst my contemporaries
Always setting in motion a train of thoughts that reawakens heroic tendencies
Self liberating words interwoven explicitly to enlighten minds in my sentences
Blowing off dust settled on facts as I’ve searched deep quoting from lost diaries
Of war veterans, true Pan African heroes revealing tales of the past centuries
In my mind voyages I’ve been to the era of noble men who...

PIERCING YOUR CONSCIENCE
So many youths nowadays would prefer keeping up with the kardashians
Than knowing the truth that affects them due to misconduct of politicians
They would rather spend hours on queues to get a celebrity’s autograph
Than show up for a rally supporting a revolutionary change across the map
Some peeps don’t have a mind of their own, except imitating some crap
All new fashion trends and lifestyles alien to our cultures they easily adapt
Every day I see ignorance becoming widely accepted as a social norm
Kids nowadays seem to know everything but lack discipline in every...

CRUCIFY ME
Crucify me coz I choose knowledge and skills over mediocrity
Crucify me; I refuse to be silent over the precarious state of insecurity
Crucify me coz I see no transformation except people dying in abject poverty
Crucify me coz I stir deep resentment against any corrupt system passionately
Crucify me coz I refuse to be enslaved, I choose freedom, over mind captivity
Crucify me coz I’m ready to die in my beliefs for better lives for all humanity
Crucify me coz I reawaken the consciously dead to face the facts of reality

THE BOOK OF INSTINCTS
Chapter 1(The Parable of the King & I)
With power similar to lightning and thunder bolts my words take form
Whatever I utter has the power to create or calm down a raging storm
Like Moses parted the red sea I raise my pen towards the gloomy sky
Bright sky appeared; misty clouds of ignorance hovering above all disappeared
From far and wide seekers of knowledge, about my great tales they hear
Following cosmic signs like the three wise men before me they all appear
I speak words with healing power that can make the blind see and deaf hear
Cynics...

DEEPER THAN RHYMES
It’s another beautiful day for me as I get on the internet
With a goal to impact lives for better that’s all I represent
With educative conscious lyrics not just for your amusement
I engage minds with conscious words that give succour
To souls whose lives are stagnated due mental impairment
Revolutionary building a fan base many believe this movement
Take every dosage of my words to see positive improvement
I’m far from timid every line is explicit with bold statement
Living a quiet life without voicing out your mind ain’t simple
Brainstorming I...

THE DINNER
I remember it was on a valentines’ day February fourteen
Had a blind date with this lady I admired but had never seen
We met some time ago on one of em social media platforms
A fan she was, always liked & commented on my status & photo albums
Patronizing me with adorable messages her intent I really didn’t fathom
The online friendship progressed the feeling was mutual as it blossomed
There was no reason for me to deny her request for meeting on that day
Got myself dressed in my best outfit hoping to impress and make her day
It was late in the evening...

OGA POLICE
The season of open letters is past
But I guess I saved this for the last
Words meant for any police officer in charge
How come most peeps don’t trust your badge?
You claim to be genuine & a friend of the masses
But so many folks can testify as victims of your brutal excesses
You claim your job is to serve and protect lives without excuses
But when a crime is going on you don’t show up within the axis
Or you arrive late when the evil deed is finished in most cases
I’ve seen you arrest innocent citizens without any incriminating reason
You...

MY ANONYMOUS FRIEND
A couple of days have passed my dear friend since I last heard from you
Couldn’t reach you either on your mobile coz it’s not always going through
I can’t boast of many friends but for those I’ve got you’re rare amongst a chosen few
It’s never my humble wish to write you an open letter but I couldn’t help worrying about you
The last time I checked your facebook wall it’s been some months ago since your last status update
Though I know I’ve never met you before but we always kept a mutual relationship driven by fate
Once in a while we chat...

VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
Written January 8, 2013 at 2:10pm
(Dedicated to all innocent victims of boko haram, political & religious violence across Northern Nigeria. May the souls of the departed never rest in peace until all the evil perpetrators of such heinous crimes against humanity are brought to justice and an end is put to such acts of terror)
Waves of panic sweep across the north driven by devastating currents of dreadful horror
Hell is loose on earth; innocent souls are lost brutally & violently in an unchallenged face of terror
The fear of boko haram is...

MIND POWER
In my mind I am the greatest of all time
In my mind self expression is not a crime
In my mind I know I’m blessed with a gift
For selfless service for the good of all mankind
In my mind I know I’m unique and I am the best of my kind
In my mind I know I’m light years ahead of this present time
In my mind great ideas are conceived with words
Possessing power that can give vision to the blind
In my mind I know knowledge is infinite
The more I seek deep the more I shall find
In my mind I know someday I’ll be immortalized
