There is no way that something
that’s dismantling humanity
is a gateway to the stars.
I count it that I’ve once again won
For being fifty one:
On this day, the 15th June
High my stereo with tweeters tune;
In noise–prosecuting quarters to Victory ululate,
In advance vowing to not later vacillate,
For only a just-caught-and-now-brooding criminal
Or the fast-wasted by a disease terminal
Would to the Euphoric say “Nay”
On man’s caution-depriving Birthday…
Really, the day to puff up one’s chest for boasts
With paid filled glasses for appropriate toasts,
Save for the life-jailed already gathering dust
And facing a tomorrow of inescapable rust
Or the piteously dying with his graveyard space
Reachable with not so much as a long pace…
Happy Birthday to the Gemini
Here in Nigeria but very sure He is in “Germany”
Already ambitiously eyeing Fifty-two years,
The prayers that should take him to it selecting all their gears!
Today, for me is similar to
my birthday.
I learned to live again, on
Valentine's Day, fifty- one
years ago.
God was watching over me
and scooped me up and He
saved me.
He sent angels in human form,
with steps to follow, made of
rainbows!
I was taught the biggest gift
of all, to accept me as is.
Without these angels, neither
my soul! nor my pen would glow.
I learned how to love and live.
Fearlessly and gloriously.
My rebirth, today, indeed,
fifty-one years ago...today!
........ Thamk you, Angels....

Where did the time go?
Many hours, many days, many weeks, many months,
Years of working to pay the bills.
Many years raising the kids.
Many times packing and moving from apartment to apartment to house to house to house.
Many times solving problems,
Big ones and small ones and the in between ones.
Where did the time go?
Many sickness some were easy and some were hard.
Many problems both small and large,
Some were hard to solve.
Many years that have past,
So very, very fast.
Many memories that will last.
Many, many years at the last,
Here we are fifty-one years that have past.
“Happy Anniversary”
Date: 7/3/2019
If you wish to taste
divorce then savor leg breaks
as appetizers
