Which are your points for living
if we all die into cold leaky stink or ash anyway?
What's the point of dying
if we could otherwise live continuously?

Heading down the river
on AAA rite of ritual passage.
Six years since...

let's dive into the thought of that Benue woman.
let's see through her sorrow carved separately,
how many children are born to die before noon?
1966 saw this on the tail of her skins proudly, 
till 1977, pogom...

our home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their
clients would also lose their necessary services.

If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators.
They are more interested...

One year and more if people should die still,
Bombs keep raining, missiles shower red rage,
All seem routine to hearts hardening nigh,
World feels sad as an after-thought on stage.

But so had people died of Covid scare,
They’d...

Her smile is unfit, as it illuminates beyond the masses,
a misfit in a world of hollow and half-hearted expressions,
The connection to comeliness, its source, not here –in there, away from the 
world, but evident to...

Poverty stricken,
Defrauding them was unintentional,
But the magistrate's judgement and sentence was constitutional.
We have been on the street,
Hustling, surviving but making money remains strict.

In prison,
the Black Maria opened and the warder uncuffed him like a preath,
There...

FIRST LOVE

I never knew what love is till you came
Didn't know it was an attachment till we met
Miracles happen just like dreams
Love happened just like magic

Slowly, I crawled into the world of love
Quickly, I became...

My brother David met William Geris
A former head of state of Utopia
Having dinner in the city of Paris
They talked about big things

David had plans to run for the state Judiciary
So he discussed it with William...

They handed me the scalpel like a crown- 
Queenship of the pail and prostrate.
I ascended my throne of sterile steel,
The body laid bare, my unwilling courtier. 
Death they said was merely a textbook.
I nodded, pencil...

What deepest sorrows, heavies a man soul?

So heavy be his body that his last strength;

mind, soft, wet and young, covered by aged flesh,

physical pain could not penetrate, unless permitted. 

But o, how thou go against...

"Images"
The God that never was, puts one shoe on at a time
And spends four hours in the make-up room 
Putting on mascara and eye liner for the darker look 

Occult man of seemingly rebellious nature...

Unpleasant sounds,
Pains and sorrow,
Voices roars in the air,
Booming of a gun,
Thou shall not kill,
Not in their dictionary.
The tussle for power,
Shattered and scattered roads,
Fears in the mind,
Humans on the race,
Tears drop means nothing,
Generations' gone and more...

In the night within the silent darkness
Cried a fallen angel,
From the waves of the wind soaring from afar
There he rose from the ground below; hopelessly. 
Known to him was only pain,
As he came from beyond...

THE SUCCESSFUL MAN
Every successful man had his first time
What happened that day was his experience
If he trailed,then he became resilient
But if he thrived,he became consistent
Every successful man had his first time

Trees

Tallest of trees stand, sentinels, as if touching the sky
Reaching out, each branch, every limb, oh so very high
Species of every kind, vying for what nature will provide
Sunlight, rain, seasons changing, renderings glorified 

Growing from...

A leaf, a root
Anchors of life in two different worlds
Each working towards sustenance of a deity 
The genesis of their life 
Their synergy, assurance of concord
Amid discord of simultaneous loss and gain
The root relentlessly searches...

The earth is mother with beards
grassland and forests are beards, moustache
mountains and hills are its nose and teeth
oceans, lakes and rivers are udders for milk

I see animals as her children not parasites
human beings live not...

Because you enjoy rights to encumbered time and space
To behave or dress as you please
Without interference bothering your face and surface
I deny you the bothersome disease that puts you ill at ease 

In arenas where...

Maybe I forever change eternal
Maybe I am both outside and Internal
Maybe I am an entity with no visible existence
Maybe you cannot physically touch me, I am distant 
Maybe I choose on who lives or dies,...

If I were the president,
in our fatherland, no citizen will be a bastard
and mutual respect, our networking web.

If I were the president
the people will be my senate
and their satisfaction my template.

If I were the president
