Lagos

ISALE EKO  (LAGOS)

A rooster of discrete tongues
Culture, tradition
Where,
Zillion specters resonate
Quantum croak.
Cock crow,
Erupts whirl, barge at Alaba
Descry of sea of soul cases
Kibbling in, out as Emmet over nectar,
As husky ell of murk drench dawning,
Eviscerate NEPA's  spasmodic spitfire
To stupor, obloquy.
The hindmost geezer nestling,
Drenched in diaphoresis of animation of dog days
Eludes unforgiving hail of bug blitz,
Hallowed howl of ole! ole!
Arched in his decrepit nest
Deploys a taper
Until,
Sunup deflowers night jaded sockets
As,
Resonance of one more Naira
To breast billion mark
Percase, perforce, precipitating
The epogee in mores
Rummages his cranium:
Top dog never capitulates 
Vanquish countermands blossom
In kernel of hovel, wreck, quagmire
From mainlands of Iddo,
Bog of Badagry
To Favela of Ijora, Ilasamaja
Colonize the cocoon
Which,
Burgeoned Whiz Kid, Davido and Nollywood 
Confuting phantasm 
That,
Golden fleece
Is muted in the jaws of no man's land.
A colossus who never unwinds 
No arrears in innuendos
Paris is your headrest
Rio de Janeiro your ottoman!

November Sunrise- Three Choices

A silence all pervading, nothing moves,
the gentle hiss I hear is in my head
like record stylus placed into the groove.
Clouds form the upper circle overhead.
Orchestra tunes up in the nearby trees,
Blackbird and brace of Magpies, two for joy,
blue safety curtain draws back by degrees
a scarlet backdrop from the ground deploys.
The star takes to the stage with no applause
 rising at the speed of summer flowers
white whispy fingers climb as ground frost thaws,
spotlights on cobwebs sparkle in the bower.

Nature murmurs quietly in the wings
new day, a new performance, Blackbird sings.

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for every greedier 

Rhymes with banker


Sleazier golden geezer visas 

Accept any offers to

Fill their many coffers


Brokery.. jiggery pokery 

Immunity without impunity 

To the unity of community

Profanity of their vanity


Insanity of their depravity

Clarity...disparity not charity

Tramples ample wokery


Our amazing landscape

Instead becomes their escape

Coined..after all they’ve purloined

Jolly jape…no red tape


Not being rash

But it is a rash

Debunk the gunk & funk

Forsaking the avarice 

Taking the pis*

Bliss abyss monk


Crass..brash..flash git

S***k a chunk of cash

From their balderdash stash

Making..a complete hash of it


Fake elite on the take

As they see fit

Billionaire boys ploys annoys

Replete yet still cheat 

Have your cake and eat it


Our government just envoys

For a small fee..sweet

Deploys the swanky..w**ky

Yankee all about me

Time to flee plea


They lit the fire

Liar & denier

Dug the quagmire


Piety for impropriety

Moolah Messiah ruler

High flyer pariah

Crueler society


Who when the s**t 

Does hit the fan

No fibs..his nibs gets

First dibs on cribs


Outlier masterplan zen..know 

Then where to go


Can always hunker down

In a spick & span den

Their Queenstown bunker


Amen

INSIDE A SUMMER DREAM


Locked inside a summer dream that never ends 
I am a breathing tree, a pushing flower, a seedling 
Hemmed in by a sun that shines and never spends, 
I am a rose in a garden, filled with mystical healing 

Enfolded in the hour I am a sunny season of joy 
laughing, giggling, scintillating, playing with the wind 
Concealed with beauty that never ends nor deploys 
I am June, July and August, rushing in without rescind 

Immersed in the scent of sweet mulched fruits 
I am an apple in the orchard of crimson cherry red 
Soused in heat I dip into pacific waters find my route 
I am all the things you can imagine in your head 

Locked inside a summer dream that never ends,  
I am hemmed by a sun that shines and never spends .

Sun Umbrella

The umbrella deploys on the morning beach
A device designed for our protection
A matter of natural selection for safety
To shade us from the nasty sun
And other things coming in from space

When the meteors came without warning
Perhaps they were comets or giant asteroids
In any event they were a nuisance
An annoyance we could not avoid

Some were as big as a school bus
But without the children or yellow

Closing in fast on us
Blotting out the sun for fun
Coming in for a crash landing
A sudden stop compliments of Earth

It turns out that umbrellas have limitations
They don't stop rocks from outer space
It is not their job

Some millions of years from now
When humans and dinosaurs reappear
Someone might reinvent the wheel
And perhaps an umbrella that works
So we don't continue to disappear

Premium Member Wayfarer's Prayer

Here, as I start, cause feels empty;
Seek peace of heart to tread softly...

With simple rhymes, hear my story;
Lines said in time, a tale of me:

I asked for joy to see the light;
Yet pain employs my sense of sight.

I asked for smiles to live with joy;
Yet hard work piles what life deploys.

I asked for ease to gladly live;
Yet tears don't cease until I give.

I asked for words to touch and heal;
Yet pain is heard in heart and will.

I asked for signs to show the way;
Yet strain aligns both night and day.

I asked for truth to set me free;
Yet see no proof to be happy.

I asked for fear to go away;
Yet I bleed tears in hollow days.

I asked for grace to comfort me;
Yet I frame space to tend kindly.

I stop asking for now I see:
Stillness voicing grand harmony!

Here at the end, I start again:
A still voice trends though not in vain!

To end, just start -- to start, just end...
Life sparks bold art, love paints all trends.

Growing Up Brave Is Growing Honest No Room For Fake

The thing with psychology is it darkens the human 
when you’re no longer guessing or sat there assuming 
the intent of a pattern inferring the action 
a shade that people would name as the black one 

There’s more bad than good 
mostly misunderstood 
the way they were raised 
the lack of the praise 
but mostly relatability that never took place 
somebody else out there in the same place 
relating to struggles you currently face 
to take you away from the lonely embrace 

And families do matter 
the man and the master 
the lady and daughter 
what went before ya 

because the greatest mothers have never been boys 
only a man knows what that path deploys 
and I can not understand females in puberty 
I’m on the outside that experience protruded me 

So try to be thoughtful and engage your brain 
engage it like pride when you know it is shame 
because shame has a lining that’s silver in shade 
growing up is reliant on honest and brave

Premium Member Joy Profound

Joy comes to mind
To help me see
With heart made kind
To sense beauty.


Joy comes to heart
To help me feel
With mind that starts
To know what heals.


Sorrow brings pain
To help me love
The path of gain
Sent from above.


Sorrow brings quest
To seek new hope
In surge of zest
So I may cope.


Joy and sorrow,
Sorrow and joy --
No need to borrow,
Hurl, play and toy.


Sorrow and joy,
Joy and sorrow --
Fate now deploys,
Sings tomorrow!


Joy fills my heart
With bliss profound;
Ambrosia starts,
Stakes fond new grounds.


Sorrow melts mind
In pain that grows;
Bitter gall binds,
Weary pain shows.


Blessings now pour
Joy plus sorrow
Here at my door:
Life just follows.


Blessings now fling
Sorrow plus joy
As fate now slings
Fond play, wise ploys!


No need to fear
Or be afraid
For grace lives here
Despite the dread.

Just Make the World Smile

J-ust make the world smile, 
E-ven if there are tears to cry; 
L-et everyone ease the pain
A-bout climbing hills so high.
I-nclement clime threatens, 
N-ew storm starts to brew; 
E-vening chill is coming by, as the devil deploys his crew.

I-n making the world smile, 
S-adness should be replaced; 
A-lternative thing is joy
B-ecause it fills the space.
E-agerly make the world smile, allowing the sun to rise and shine; 
L-et the dawn break with cheer, causing the day to be so fine.

T-wenty-seventh day of July, 
A-nother laughter reigns for a while; 
N-ever let the morn moan, just make the world smile.
