Orphan you poor thing
Orphan you poor thing,
So you are all alone now, no mom, no dad, just you
I know dear, I know that in this point in time life seems meaningless
I know you feel rejected, unwanted,
Could it be because of the people around you?
Orphan you poor thing,
There you are sitting in a dark room all by yourself,
Swimming in a pool of salty water from your eyes
Wishing mommy and daddy were there with you.
You sit there alone, you fear the dark, and you fear the night,
Each night brings you a new terrible reality of nightmares.
Out to hurt you? Out to rip you off you who know? They just might.
Child, you know by now that all that glitters is not gold,
People you thought loved you, will live you out in the cold,
The love they had for you when your parents were still alive,
That love has suddenly grown old,
And like all the old things, the love will vanish into thin air without a trace.
And in no time, they will even forget about you child,
Worry not my dear, weeping only last through the night,
Happiness will come in the morning
Soon you will forget that you too were mourning.
Poor Orphan
When the sun rises, go out there,
See what can do, deal with your fears,
Wipe away those tears,
And see what lies ahead
Use your head
Think, use your brain, use your intelligence,
That my dear is something they will never take away from you.
Poor orphan
You will work hard and build you old legacy
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, hard work surely pays.
When they see fruits of your hard work, they will be in pain,
They will remember all the bad things they said to you, all your hard work wont b in vain
Beyond their expectation, you will be successfully rich,
Then they will call you names, among others, they will say you are a witch.
But worry not child more insults will come, so will more accusations.
They will call you a thief and say you steal,
But worry not child for you will heal.
You will heal from the low self-esteem, low confidence.
Soon you will forgive them because a great future lies ahead
Don’t stop working hard in every possible way
And you will see poor orphan things will go your way.
Remember Poor Orphan, you are not going through this alone
There are millions others going through the same worldwide,
Self-pity won’t help.
Get up and work hard.
Look at the floor of heaven
Laid with patterns of bright gold
For us, they are but little orbs
But in his motion
Like angels, they sing
So many songs of harmony
To the souls of immortals
And while this muddy vesture of decay
Does gross in them
We mortals cannot hear it.
Hold your fortune for your bliss
A gentle scroll
A diamond ring
All gone
Loss upon loss
Life upon life
Death upon death
Pain upon pain
A man of the people
The villainy the beasts taught him
That he executed
Until things fell apart
Judge him not
And mourn him as a legend
Chinualumogu!
For whose sake
The Arrow of the gods granted justice.
Christopher Okigbo called them beasts
David Diop called them vultures
For me
They were weeds on our soil
Colonial masters
Who awakened our sleeping lions
Achebe threw the bomb
And died before it exploded
This cooled his friends
And awakened his enemies
They laughed at his losses
And scorned all his gains
He sought no revenge
Yet his silence scrapped all nations
Thwarted their bargains
And with two heads of fools
He repaid them for one
And then There was a Country
He chose not what many men desired
And rejected the barbarous multitude;
Crystallized the inferiority complex
And fought back to back
For Africa.
No ill luck stirred at first
No tears but of our shedding
No sighs but our breathing
Various creditors sprang
Enemies arose
Yet he'd give up nothing for the wilderness of monkeys
Nor for the generation of wolves
An ambassador of love rarely seen
His pleas were for the taunted and corrupt
And with his graciously seasoned works
He obscured the shows of evil
What damned error!
But some superior would bless and approve it with a text
Hiding the grossness with faint ornaments.
Look on beauty
And you shall see
It is purchased on the weight
Often have you been told
That all that glitters is not gold
Farewell, the hope of Africa
For now, your suit is cold
We love and miss you
But our prayers with you shall be
Oh, Lord!
Arise and await
For his gentle spirit
Unto you dear God
Commits itself to be directed
The Beautyful ones are indeed not yet born
But the born indeed are most beautifully precious
Adieu Albert!
Many men today will walk away
from a plain rock that they may come across
but unlike most men, I know that there's beauty within
and will keep it while they suffer a loss.
A diamond to most is reason to brag and to boast
because it glitters and is lovely to see
but I'll tell you what, a diamond uncut
would be passed by most easily.
A woman to me, is like a diamond you see
men go for those that other men would like to meet
but many a guy will pass right by
a plain woman that is just as lovely and sweet.
I've found that a plain woman can truly love a man
so can an obese woman or what ever the case
if men were truly smart, they'd search a woman's heart
and not just look for a beautiful face.
The beauty that men see could lead to treachery
if true love is not involved
to find a good women men must look for love not lust
and truly love her, then their problems would be solved.
A plain woman you see has inner beauty
like a diamond that's trapped in a stone
however, many men hunt a shine or nice body design
wich is why many men are always alone.
Let's just face the facts, unless this is how she acts
there is no such thing as an ugly woman to me
men, we should not judge in haste we all have different taste
besides, ugliness is in the heart, not in what we see.
All that glitters is not gold so I've been told
therefore, I never judge a book by it's cover
a woman with no shine could still be made mine
and I wouldn't care how she looks to another.
Women likewise, pass up on good guys
for the handsomer men that they long to hold
but they should look twice for there are men just as nice
they are just harder to see, like burried gold.
All men and women out there should take heed and take care
of your love ones whether they are pretty to you or not
for there's plenty of others who'll see the beauty in your lovers
and will steal what you don't know you've got.
So when out on a date or seeking a mate
don't pass up the plain her or plain him
look well before you leap, for that rock you don't keep
could indeed be an unpolished gem.

And to all those I have wronged
I am remorseful
For my life is an enigma
And at times I lose my way
Like a mad dog that goes astray
Enslaved by tribulations
That fails to go away
And reason becomes an absurdity
As my sanity fades away
Like a stallion
In the misty wilderness
Who comes back at dawn?
My mind awakes
Replenish with life with the warmth of the sun
And rejuvenates like a new born
To drink from the lake of life
And to start another sojourn on earth
To get what is left to take
And remember those I shall never forget
And those I shall not forsake
Dreams unfilled
Living a life that is less thrilled
Ruled by plutocrats and kleptocrats
Who served the god of money
He takes your soul in return for a drop of honey
Friends come and friends go like the autumn wind
It s cold
So is life
For all that glitters is not gold
Standing on principle is worthless in the land of lunatics
Where religion is used as a weapon
By the raging fanatics
And freedom is used to enslave you more
For the oppressors we see
Are worse than the oppressors we saw
It is worthless for a bleeding pauper
The world sees not those who suffer
Except those who bask in the euphoria of wealth and stupidity
And who disgust those who live a life of humility
For the puppet master still pulls my strings
He is the god we see
Who controls all that life brings
And those artificial things
But time will vindicate the righteous
If you are true indeed so
When it blows
The wind of change
Everybody knows
Sound of chance
Fills the air
And ends your despair
Time servers and sycophants will perish
So will all that they cherish!
And relish
Hidden secrets locked away in the chest of the truth
Now unlocked
And I regain exuberance
Like I have bathed in the Fountain of Youth
For I have vowed to speak the truth
Parasites and worms that feed on the dead and the living
But never care for others because
They are never giving
Kings and nobleman were born of slaves
They are blind when they hold the mantle of authority
They fall because they know not the meaning of prosperity
A divide house can never stand
So let us unite
Form:
Beneath me I see you laying lost,broken,in pieces
I wanted to hold you-to tell you this too shall pass
I waited for you to see the beauty inside that only my eyes could see
Beneath me you lay all your beautiful pieces glittering like precious stones
All that glitters is not gold
Or so that's what we are told
I waited for to see I had the glue for all your shiny pieces
But you never saw me
Never saw the fire raging inside
A quiet place to hide,a soft place to land
Ignored the beauty in my heart
Never once realizing that I'm so much more than meets the eye
Instead u confused me clouded up my mind wasted my precious time
Mistook my kindness for weakness
You played me for a child a fool..decided not to see the beauty in the madness..what's wrong love? Can't swim? Can't get wet?
Couldn't stand a little rain?
Left me standing with what's left of my heart in my hand
All while having the nerve-the unmitigated gall to say to me-i hope you understand
Understand what I want to scream!!!!
That YOU the king of kings has deemed ME beneath YOU,not good enough,lesser than?
Look I have surviver things that would have killed most!
And yet like the mountains-im still standing-stikl here
To top it off-you decided to punish me and rub my nose in it
To discipline me like you would an unruly pit
No relationships or attachments you are leaving soon
All typicals lies all crap all bull
Beneath me you will still lay broken in pieces-i hope the jagged edges cut you like you did me
In did everything you asked played by ur rules-only to end up dumbfounded, bewildered, and feeling like a fool
This is the very reason I won't let anyone close-no one gets in
Time after time...time and time again-i end up standing alone
Watching you walk away with a piece of me in your pocket
Helpless I powerless and unable to stop it
Don't worry-fine I am and OK I will be
I picked myself up straightened my crown-you can't keep me down
Just had to vent,to let go,to release
And let you know just how dirty I felt you did me
Form:
Truth beyond bias in belief and perception
Counter Intuitive
To be me Or not to be
Practice makes perfect Boredom fosters sloppiness
Try to be happy all the time Full range of emotions fulfills.
Improving your weaknesses Focus on what you are best at
Always just be yourself Adapt, change in response to others
Pick me, I'm such a beauty All that glitters is not gold
Work less to achieve more Taking a break, wastes your time
Failure is a setback drudge Trial and error a win out need
Giving is better than receiving Rewarding oneself is fulfilling
Less is more, easier to choose Less to choose from you miss the best one
First impressions are reliable Snap judgments are biased by your failings
When investments fail cut your losses Keep investing until you turn the corner
Trying too hard voids success Success comes through perseverance
Least competent overstate their ability Highly skilled understate competence
All medicines have a placebo effect Distrust medicines until they work
Being less obsessed, detached wins out Success comes by focusing on your goals
Spend more to save more, buy quality Buy cheap, good things, nothing lasts forever.
No luck in success, just hard work The more you try the luckier you become.
Aphrodite, In Sweet Dreams Of Bliss I Cry Out To You,
Sonnet Doubles
Aphrodite, princess of my romantic dreams
burning flames to my heart's inner desires
your beauty gifted, a poetic soul redeems
goddess of love, true love that never tires.
Underneath moon's golden rays and heavenly nights
we meet, in a dreamland made just for two
your vision bringing forth love's most sensual light
passionate touch, Cupid's arrows shot true.
Aphrodite, no heart can your deep love deny
or satisfaction from your every kiss
you are soft twinkle of stars in radiant sky
epitome of love, life, joyous bliss.
Within this heaving breast, is your heart to now hold.
Your passionate embrace, I am forever sold.

Remember All That Glitters Is Not Gold
Within a silken tapestry of dreams
are golden orbs of glittering treasures
life is too often not what it may seem
if we in haste seek only our pleasures.
Far better to view Nature, its beauty
as if a mere child just learning to walk
knowing life is a gift not a duty
we oft may learn more without idle talk.
Cease snatching up offerings this world casts
those tempting traps that look to be so free
Ulysses was pleading, bound to ship's mast
to jump overboard, drown in raging seas.
Remember all that glitters is not gold.
Bountiful are worldly lies we are told.

Sonnet, ( If it looks to good to be true, almost always it isn't)
The grass is always greener on the other side: says who?
It may just be perception not necessarily the truth
Ugly is not bad neither is beautiful necessarily good
It may be just perception
You see my son with wisdom you will begin to see in between the lines,
Of seemingly complex issues.
Thinking a river is shallow might be wrong perception.
In times of trouble never be in a hurry to take decisions just like the wrong, misconception of a river being shallow.
In the same vein don’t hurry to jump into every matter with your mouth first,
It is a foolish act.
You see when the spirit man is well fed you perceive differently
Eureka! You begin to see opportunities everywhere.
Impossibilities become impossible.
How dangerous it is for a man to use the binoculars of-
flesh to view the supposedly greener grass on the other side
All that glitters is not gold as the saying goes,
Even in the spiritual Satan parades himself as an angel of light.
Perceive rightly and you are in for bliss
For wise choices and decisions will always be profitable
So what rules your sight?
What do you see?
Are you optimistic?
Who are your friends?
These we ponder over as we journey the earth
Heaven or Hell bound are all destinations
Heavenly supernatural perception remains king in this fallen world
The only recipe to win the battles of life
Even as we bask in the glory of Jehovah
Shalom
Fate
An anonymous feeling yet feels so known
Deep inside us within our soul
We cannot Live without even we grow old
We think it’s the only reason to loose or succeed
A Hope that lies always in deep
We never loose it & think its true
Only to realize at the end we’ve been a fool
Sometimes in a dilemma, weather its all true
Sometimes in anger why its all blue
Sometimes in pain while its all bruised
An old man once said all that glitters is not gold
What’s in this saying which makes this so bold
While a feeling yet old, Uncontrolled
People born and die everyday
Some in hunger some in pain
Some die in war while other in vain
For them fate is insane
Asked a beggar he called it life
Asked a husband he called his wife
Asked a mother she just smiled
At the end I just realized
All through our lives we live through
There is always something new to go through
Something to explore ,Something to learn
Every moment is worth to earn
Fate is just a mandatory
A feeling residing for temporary

ILLUSIONAL BEAUTY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
As she approached we met eye to eye
I was awed by her beauty as she strolled by
I tried so hard to get her attention
This stunning example of feminine perfection
Her hair was long and freely flowing
Her lips were red her eyes were sparkling
She was pure symmetry in every respect
Nature had blessed her absent neglect
I thought she’d make a trophy wife
To have this beauty for the rest of my life
She dresses immaculately nothing is missing
Those juicy red lips I yearned to be kissing
Our children would be proud of her as a mom
I’ve got to meet her but need to stay calm
She paused then sat down at an outdoor café
I sat down beside her and said if I may?
Sure pal take a load off your feet
I saw you follow me do you want a treat
For two hundred bucks I’ll give you an hour
Includes the time needed for me to shower
I was astonished by what I had just heard
To distance myself was the action preferred
It was her beauty that blinded my senses
Her physical assets had dissolved my defenses
I had fooled myself without provocation
I need to expunge this self imposed indignation
I’ll keep baseless assumptions under control
And not forget “all that glitters is not gold”
