5:31 amI’m losing a battle I did not choose to fight in,
I have waited nearly fourteen years for freedom.
There is still no stopping him.
I lay next to someone I adore and
He still clogs my thoughts like hair in drainage.
I glance at my love as they sleep,
Peaceful and snoring softly,
And I wish I could...

I miss my momI miss my mom.
I don’t remember much about her,
It’s been over a decade and a half since
I last saw her,
Before she faded into
The person she’s become now.
But I remember when she was kind,
I remember when she loved us,
I miss my mom.
I miss swingset rides,
Her pushing me,
Higher and higher,
Into the sky.
Snapshots, memories,
A blink of her smile,
I...

A MAN TO KILL MENHere is a man who sub-dues the com-mon,
He rears an ar-my to keep a grim weap-on,
He crafts bombs that scare,
All types meant to tear,
And kills in the streets till the dawn, on

Electric Summer MistIn summer's heat, where vibrant blossoms sway,
A storm awakens, darkened clouds align,
The thunder whispers secrets of the day,
While lightning's flash reveals the past's design.
Beneath the tempest's wrath, my heart takes flight,
To memories concealed in shadow's veil,
Each droplet falls, a tear of lost delight,...

I am the mirrorI am the mirror of truth
I am the reflection of accountability
That will show the shards of what is, not what's not
I will reflect their own darkness back at them
So they can feel an ounce of the pain we suffered through
To confront the truth of their own inferiority
And be trapped in a room full...

A Statement May Be a QuestionHe slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?
I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.
So, this could be a question.
Or is...

MaskMask by Adejola Joseph
Mask
Where does it come from?
What?
Delusive rationality!
Are we out of mind?
Senses drained and dried?
No!
What do you capitalized on?
Neutral ambition?
Stop writhing in pain
It halts not the rod
Good ambition...lofty ideas
But...sees no sun
Because it's all masked!
It's all choked...
Brutally masked;
Dreamer ponders
Where do we go?
So much confusionist now on this solidity and compound mass!
Pitifully roaming the streets and...

MouthlessI have seen a lot in this life,
The only thing I haven't seen is that which doesn't exist,
I have seen a lot in this life,
That which my mouth cannot explain.
Tell us what you saw Mr. Stephen,
What is it you saw that Troubles you,
Did you see the rainbow or seven colours of madness,
Tell us Mr. Ekemezie...

What doesn’tagree to disagree
At a young age, I started to realize that the only way to make my mom happy was to agree with her.?When you agree, everyone is happy… right??But no.?I was so busy thinking about keeping everyone else happy,?I forgot to ask myself what made me happy.
It wasn’t people.?Wasn’t drugs.?Wasn’t love.?And it damn...

I'm floatingI'm floating in the sea of emotions
Like the waves I'm crashing to shore
The storm that is raging within me
I don't think I can take anymore
The howling wind that is blowing has taken me Miles out to see
I can't keep my head above water this is
A dangerous place for me.

Mother nature's FuryMother Nature’s Fury, It begins to rain
Rivers overflowing, roads begin to flood
Devastation everywhere as homes filled with mud
Loss of life and property, oh the heartfelt pain
Mother Nature’s fury, as the story goes
Wild winds begin to roar all across the land
City and towns ravished by deadly tornadoes
Loss of life and property we're dealt a lousy hand
Mother...

Protesting sound of music2025.07.09 Wednesday.
Ludwig van Beethoven wrote
"To play a wrong note is insignificant,
To play without passion is inexcusable".
I have been distracted and emotionally affected,
By this particular shop. Therefore,
"To be served by a bunch of unlady like women
Who screamed, and yelled so loud at one another,
At their shop in food court of the shopping centre
Would be like to...
