First time around, I slowly locked
him out and threw away the keys.
Memories of him fell like Autumn leaves.
In reality, he was a father that I thought
I really knew. But in reality, he was also
a father I never really knew.
It was when I was shown a different view
that he became someone entirely new. After
years, and not a few. After years of dismissal
and irrelevancy; years I found nothing in him
of use to me. Long after his demise, he had
become someone unattractive both in my
mind and deep inside.
Things changed when a younger sister revealed
to me a father who made me feel good inside.
He became a father who was no longer a thorn in
my side. In a very real sense, my life became a dance
when I gave my father another look, a second chance.

Graduate with mission and purpose,
Focus on financial breakthrough
But get a financial slavery...
I have the skills, qualifications
and personal strength align with your
need and mission,
I am the right person for the job,
remains the anthem....
Labour market with labour without freedom,
Life schedule becomes dissipate,
Remuneration with commission,
Referrals with workload,
dreams in feeble..
Time consumption without liberty,
In-depth review to decide fate..
Irrelevancy engulfed,
You're no longer needed,
Disesteem devalued..
Faded without glory..
That's just our Story ..

To Soil.
In a few years, precious few, in the
irrelevancy of time,
The grave will reach out and find us
wherever we are.
Encompassing our body and soul,
our mind dead to its reality.
Our body so embraced in its
soil from our toil.
Our spirit well in its great beyond

Is luck a myth or reality
likewise karma
Are they false entities we've created
or are they just a realm of superstition
but I ponder not the facts
nor these questions so why do I care
Why do I persist to dabble in irrelevancy
to distract my mind from the evils outside
When did I become on the list of the punished
What have I done so wrong to be on the receiving end
of such a terrible robbery
Why are you robbing me of my luck, my home
of everything I love
Why, when I finally fit in
Why, when I've finally found my place
I have to pack my bags, say 'Au revoir'
like I didn't care at all about anything I've gained
Would it be wrong for me to say I want my life to end
or has it already
My pen shares my grief as it allows a heavy cloud
of black rain
to dance along lines of blue grass
in a melancholy connotation
an expression of mourning for its distraught author
but I decorate its work with malice and confusion
Treat it like a canvas and decorate it in red
to say 'the rain gave truth to what's in my heart
but my heart is as black as I am red'

To vanish from this impious era i
mind less
conceivably recognised as a vain
guest
To the toiled years i duly reminisce
as futility proved my paramount
best
To this world i pleaded with a wail
upon my arrival on its terrain
To serve me right till my departure
but this it did did in miniature
To this world i pledged my
prospective days
but this it shattered in various ways
To my exertion i'll personally extol
if no being cites and applauds my
effort
To another realm
i'll get deposed unceremoniously
To what awaits me in the
subsequent world beyond
i remain optimistic
To the fatalists i now resign
as their belief obvioused in my
instance
To this notion i duly adhere
perhaps my irrelevancy would be
remedied at death

Madam, you think you know
When knowing not you think no more
The surface speaks and shows
But the ignorance of those who come
By rules, or anxiety's sweet conceit
To find what they did not plant
But yet would reap from me.
Language is all our fault, the way
We borrow and use one another
Conforming to a simple drip
Of irrelevancy. I bring new meaning
Where sentence pause at broken lines
With unbroken multiply of new meanings
I bring fresh interpretations
To haggard images, metaphors are now
Conotations. You see, madam
You are superficial where I am
Full of respect for learned ignorance.
ii
I beg you read more of me in better prose
That which, languishing, I contributed
On genre and aesthetics for rcher light
Two faces rubbing nose to nose
Have desires greater than a kiss
And yet can get nowhere without
Literally opening a literal door
To returned cathartisized
To the place their tongues went dry before
You too would naked come again
And shine the candle on a milked breast
