My Generation My Poems
My generation my poems
Everything I love don't matter now
Cos I keep up the fire burning
After all it doesn't matter how
I live or die
Just pray for me if you care
And I wish you all Out there
The next generation
to read my soul to the world
Cos I keep up the fire burning
I never hurt no one but my heart
I never let my pen sleep
It is not Intentional but
I can't run away from my shadows
How can I be young in vain
What are mine resting for when
Yesterday's tragedies keep speaking on our todays reality in Nigeria
So now nothing matters any more
Cos I keep up the fire burning
Feel me if you got a soul
It is what always it is
I stay up all night just to keep bleeding
Noon after noon I keep working out
Topics after topics
Epic after epic
My pen keeps bleeding
I keep my mind on focus
Cos our realities are clear
Don't tell me you don't see it
Cos am not here to make you so happy
We must grow up
The times don't wait
If we must live
Is now cos nobody is sure of tommorow
hope for peace
When their is war
Don't pray for war
When their is peace
Maintain your spirit and mind
Be focus for all hopes
Are not lost
As long as you live
My generation my poems
To the next generation after us
Be wise be outstanding
Don't grow with out your mind
Don't forget to live with your heart
Go out there with courage
Refuse intimidation refuse abuse
Dignify your right
Purify your spirit
Be sure of who you chose to be
I tell you the truth
Your destiny is in your hands
When you decide your move
And don't stop till you see
The changes the realities of your dreams
Go together my brother's my sisters
Cancel every form of isolation
Abolish tribalism
Kill racism and chase tribal wars
Away from Africa
Yes you can do better than us
You can always be who you chose to be
Your destiny is in your hands
For now nothing matters any more
And nothing surprises me any more
In a dying world
So remember my soul
Remember my poems
Remember my love
Remember my calls for humanity
And let it spark and bless your inspiration
hope for peace
When their is war
Don't pray for war
When their is peace
Maintain your spirit and mind
Be focus for all hopes
Are not lost
As long as you live
