Realizing the pain of your heart deep inside,
Seeing through the subtle lies,
No longer speechless when intimidations rise,
Seeing the assumptions are their justifications to hide,
When the truth comes out, the pretend defend,
The accuser attacks the heart on the mend,
And so it tries to reverse the healing and just reignites and proves,
It's just more confirmation that God has shown them the truth,
And denying it won't change it, it just sweeps it under the rug,
And so then how can they mourn it and pray out of love,
He said in the end what is right would be wrong, and what is wrong would be right,
What is hidden in the dark room will come to light,
Seeing the deception, the avoidance of the truth,
Knowing that you must face these things in order to heal you,

"Better to die fighting for freedom than being a prisoner
all the days of your life "
Bob Marley
In life
What has the beginning
can also have its end.
In life
What seems tolerable now
Can become intolerable in the future.
Many African countries had been bullied
for many years by some super powers.
It was difficult for many African countries
To speak loud about some atrocities
Because of intimidations of loosing
some western benefits.
How life is about,
Now there is popular political intimidation
of South Africa to loose some western deals
because of filling a genocidal case
against Israel.
I don't think it is fair to continue keeping
quiet while Israel government continue committing
crimes against humanity in Gaza.
I don't think other African countries
will support some oppressors
and let South Africa down.
In life
Speaking the truth
Is always my wish.

Great ideas are eternal
The brave once said
Kill me but you can't kill my spirit
Cos it will multiple to alot of bodies
You can't stop the truth
Even with or without my existence
The love of my people will live
Above your intimidations
Cos the sun can never be cover
Either can the moon be hidden
By the mere hands of men
So let change be
Let my people free
We are at the point of no return
Great ideas are eternal
This days from the house
Of a coward we point the empty house
Of the brave
From the fence of the coward
We show the grave of the brave
Is not an obvious new news
why they die so sooner
Cos the truth is always a big crime
No wonder the brave never fear
To change the wear of the human body
They see it like a cloth
Cos the ideology of the brave
Live after even when they are gone
No wonder
Great ideas are eternal

I believe in time
I am not worried
About what I don't have
I believe in time
I am not moved by the
Intimidations of life
Cos I know who God is
He moves with time
He never fails at every point
He is always and ever ready
To be just on time
When am in need
If not I can't be among
The existing existence
Of the universe
Once move
I am not worried
About what I don't have
I believe in time

Among the wounded and underrated entities,
Lies an enigma,
Handsome, softhearted but torn,
This is wrecking havoc in my soul.
The Nigerian society made me,
But I forged my fists and spine with a steel,
To withstand and defend against a coup de grâce,
And also conquer religion and politics.
They are watching but can't feel my pain,
And the bleeding on my wounded sensibilities,
Because I smell so good in a dirty water,
Flowing to the next chapter of my life.
Cloaked by insecurities, fears, and intimidation,
All I'm doing is to make a living out of the tawdry life the society gave me,
Today, I love the way you sit there,
And barely notice me at all when I rise.

Is when you know you have done it all
Is when you have reach a point of no return
Is when embracing who you are is not a question
Is when the knowledge you have is not a doubt
Is about knowing the directions without having a map
Is about knowing the obstacles without assessing
Is about knowing the solutions without knowing the problem
Is about knowing who you are without compromising yourself
Is when you know that completing is for jealousy individuals
Is when you know that promises are meant to be kept
Is when you know that what is yours is yours
Is when you know that hard work paves the way
Is about helping those you love without reservations
Is about everlasting friendship without dishonesty
Is about growth without moderations
Is about being yourself without intimidations

HOW HIGH
Mountains and Mole hills,
Intimidations or Simple Contemplations-
depends how high you wish to fly !
When Neanderthals transgressed the land
it was wonderous to meet each meal-
yet, now we dine in a minutes time.
Watching the birds fly about,
for many years we desired its convenience-
until we walked up on the moon.
Mountains and Mole Hills,
Intimidations or Simple Contemplations-
depends how high you wish to fly !

THE UDDERS OF LIFE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I’ve been told by some that I need alter my attitude
That I should mingle more and eschew my solitude
So hard to do when I see constant acts of ingratitude
Mayhem, deception, infidelity are a few that I include
Violence, racism, hate, lead me to spasms of lassitude
Infringements of rights grow disproportional in magnitude
Simple words spoken now twisted and misconstrued
Open opinions, squelched in fear of public seclude
Contrarian positions demonized, forced to occlude
Threats and intimidations causing a sense of ineptitude
Discipline and respect are needed to restore rectitude
To destroy notions of entitlements and servitude
A nation can never reclaim the loss of pulchritude
As long as it permits and harbors disquietude
Elisium praeteritus
