Welcome strangers!
But lie intentionally before entering Roberts International Airport
Let us take a scroll through Liberia.
A place where corruption wears a
smile, speaks with the elders, and
authorizes the kingship
A place where crime is
charmingly celebrated and known to
be the most brilliant celebrity
A place where teachers are
underpaid
Deservingly serving sex for grades
A place where love has departed on
a long journey to an unknown
destination
A place where rape has become a
culture sending mama's children
on a mission to the grave
A place where the doors of
employment have been locked by legislathieves, excuthieves and judiciathieves
A place where our libraries are filled
books that teach us 'What to think'
and not 'how to think' making
beautiful confusion
Welcome strangers!
These are the ills that sleep on the principal streets of Mama Liberia
While a woman called "HOPE" continues to crawl steadily

What is the formula of love?
Is it written on a woman's lip
Or hidden within a man's thought cause
Some relationships are like coordinate and plane geometries
While others are advance differential calculus, it is full of mystery and clouded by major and minor characters
Some lovers are like "X" and "Y",
Blend together thoroughly in a simultaneous equation,
Deservingly giving birth to a positive or a negative number
Some words behave like fraction
Gently taking part of a whole in someone's life
But it is either proper, improper, like, unlike, or complex
Some kisses appear like trigonometry
Determining an unknown angle or side
With the ideas of Pythagoras
Some relationships are arithmetic
Addition means to add
Subtraction means to take away,
Division to divide and multiplication to times
Though life is a library of many experiences,
But how can "Love" be defined,
Is it the compilation of feelings through written notes or words

Some say they from a broken family
I’m not but nowadays its broken anyway
punished when in trouble had to take responsibility
picked apart by my troubles stripped of masculinity
punishment not found when a parent ups and leaves
in all probability it took the confidence from me
labelled a cluts my fails they made me see
at 11 brother went to university
my sister moved out unhappy
so in my family unit I was on my only
funny as now my siblings disowned me
my parents are peoples they don’t want to see
I’m stuck at home reluctantly
one year over 33
let the bird fly free his nest his destiny
let him find his kids his lady
they label me lazy some say crazy
stuck here deservingly deserve living desertedly
as I’m not searching assertively,
I’m not from a broken family
just one that lives far openly

"Lots of thoughts in my head today,
Of those who are special and far away
I am careful not to think to deep,
And wonder; which will affect my sleep
Better to keep it light,
For that is right
So what’s this motion,
Your arms wide open
Are we measuring the width of a door,
Or an exercise to strengthen our core?
Is it to signal how much to back up,
Or a playful “airplane” strut
To bring a smile on a little one,
While in a park having fun
Is it the beginning of a ballerina twirl,
Or the pose holding a flag unfurled
I think it’s a sign of acceptance and trust,
One has confidence, a must
To let life be,
Beyond what you see
Unselfishly,
And deservingly
For a heart needs to be free to chose,
Without the fear to lose
What you want to hold so closely,
Better with your arms open you see
A basket over a light,
Is not right
So to the beauty,
Should shine through
Of those you hold so dear,
For me it is perfectly clear"

I never thought I'd be back here to love,
Ive gone through so much hurtful stuff,
I never thought I'd love again like before,
Yet again I am to love one guy more,
I totally so scared of tomorrow to come,
But I am so lost drunk in love some.
He only wants me like this
He loves my laugh funny
He loves my hands touching
He loves my smell intensely
He loves me happy happiness
He loves me deservingly
Each day I look happier of him,
Tomorrow wakes me up of him,
The nights not lonely cause of him,
And yesterday give memories of him.
I love him so much it hurts,
And he loves me to death.
Its gonna work out fine I think
Love my Danny Boy

i like to tell stories
that bring glory to me
no one i know
is more deservingly
at this moment you think
i am up on myself
but at this moment
isn't everyone else
with self centeredness
being the thought of the day
in the i want it all
and i want it my way
i can honestly say
without skipping a beat
i, me, and mine
are my top favorite three
so listen closely
to the stories i tell
interestingly about me
and nobody else

I wrote this unaware, exposing my true vulnerability
Conversed with my pen to halt its ink but paid me no mind as it showed off its ability
Quarantined my heart from further pain exploitation, blatant immaturity
Questioned my ability to forgive since it's you again making my tears fall on this paper uncontrollably
God has given you nothing but time as I wait on you agonisingly
Add any word from you in this love blender and I would have forgiven effortlessly
Love is weird because weirdly it falls on individuals not deserving, that's the policy
I can't question God's ability; he replaced my verbal quality with a pen deservingly
Dad!........yes you, the reason for these squeaky sounds on this paper
I hate the sore existence in me of this anger
Your pride has lost us years plus this pen should be capturing something else
Instead I beg for our souls to reach an agreement before we reach God cause that will be something else
Creating a family without you has this picture looking obscured
Just by you saying "you love me", best believe I will be cured

Today I think I deem it fit,
Strolling around her beauty skills,
Controlling so many on thoughts to eat,
Alas! She's firmly on her feets,
Traveling through the comfort of my thrills,
Patience my mind ultimately sings,
Fragiility is how she has learnt to fly,
How often does she intend to overlook certain things?
she'll do all it takes untill she touches on the sky,
Her glamour generates her a slogan modella,
When would she oblige to deservingly earn a treet,
Understandably under an authority of restrict,
Yearning hearts are waiting to end their cry,
Ultimately i seek to find an adventurous Ella

I mourn the day I lost all hope on you,
as delicate as you are, it has been rough loving you,
no road can go farther than you have taken me,
yet it was too short of a ride,
how beautiful you looked in the morming,
as the sun compliment those eyes,
the birds chirping away;
as if they were announcing your arrival,
day after day they announced,
untill one day you never came;
yet the sun still shines,
and the birds still chirp,
confused because i can feel your pain,
but my heart doesn't hurt,
clearly it's your pain,
and deservingly my gain,
i lost part of myself because of your departure,
yet realized who i truly was,
as life can not be changed or given back,
i can not regret,
only mourn for the angel that you were,
you are no more,
only a memory, lying in the depths of my mind,
thank you for allowing me to love,
your welcome for i allowed myself to forget.

Off in the misty distance
I hear a hungry woodpecker
Hammering with his head.
This omnivorous, opportunist
Breaks the silence of the morn
With his rat-a-tat-tatting
As if knocking on a door.
His persistent pecking
Will end with success
When he excavates
The hapless insect
A meal deservingly gained
But the silence won’t remain
Because he'll begin all over again.
