LIVING IN LIMBO

[Verse 1]
I keep staring at the empty side of the bed
Wondering why you left without a word said
Was it the way I held on too tight?
Or did you just get tired of the fight?

[Verse 2]
You slipped out like smoke through my hands
Leaving me with questions I’ll never understand
There’s a song we used to play on repeat
Now it’s just silence that I can’t defeat

[Chorus]
Every moment’s a cell that I can’t break free from
I wasn’t there when you handed down the sentence, love
Caught between memories and what I never knew
This limbo’s a place where hope just won’t pull through
You were my lover, my closest friend
Now I’m chasing shadows that never end
Are we done? Or just frozen in time?
This waiting, this not knowing—it’s slowly killing my mind

[Verse 3]
You wanted freedom — maybe more than me
Took your Independence like a thief in the night, silently
I’m left in the ruins of all we planned
With nothing but ghosts and a ring in my hand

[Chorus]
Every moment’s a cell that I can’t break free from
I wasn’t there when you handed down the sentence, love
Caught between memories and what I never knew
This limbo’s a place where hope just won’t pull through
You were my heartbeat, my favorite sound
Now it’s just echoes I keep hanging around
Are we done? Or is this some cruel pause?
Girl, living like this is a slow, quiet loss

[Bridge]
If you wanted to leave, just say it plain
Don’t bury me in silence or leave me in pain
I’m drowning in questions, no lifeline in sight
You wanted your freedom — you got your Independence that night

[Outro]
Forever locked away, and I’m still here
Haunted by memories, haunted by fear
Longing for answers I’ll never get
In this limbo where I’m stuck — can’t forget

Not For Purchase

Awakened by a battalion,
Alienating thoughts berating me,
Separating my chance to see,
What could truly be,
Hindering my productivity,
A byproduct of society,
Quietly disrupts my day,
I try pushing them away,
Battling my way up,
Putting coffee in my cup,
The upper hand now mine,
As i find my way around,
Drowning out the noise,
I'm poised for progress,
Pressing on ahead,
My head a playground,
As thoughts bounce around,
Bound to my creation,
Some turning into sound,
As vibrations float around,
Grounding my energy,
Entertaining an entity,
The sensitivity grows,
I fall into the shadows,
No one knows how low,
I call out to my foes,
I know my purpose,
It's soon to surface,
We don't deserve this,
The Land was not for purchase,
It's time to repurpose your role,
As the whole regains control.

Black Mercy

We all know the day,
Which we came to fay;
We all remember the day,
Which the black and white were faraway;
We all mark the day,
Which our power became black not grey.

So horrible,
That we were so gullible;
Why is our case always like moth,
That fly into a flame?
Why are we always victims
of 'Black Mercy'?

The Journey of years
Get worse in sneers;
In the beginning, 
We rose a compatriots
But a little trick from them—
We became children
That chase after butterfly,
Not considering a pit ahead.

When will we be out of our predicament?
When is our self-slavery ending?
We pledge all days, all nights,
But the nation has failed us,
All days, all nights 
We always cry to remember
The freedom as a slavery 
Which is a 'Black Mercy'

Battling Mere Existence

Alive not living, 
Past era keeps reliving... 
Freedom's misgiving.

Independence sighs,
What freedom frankly denies...
Cum pure lawful guise.

Where one sorrow smiles...
In democratic cool styles,
That shield violent miles.

Eyes travels in mind,
How leaders should have been kind,
But greedily blind

Right to live on earth-
Is no Nigerians by birth,
Only Govts have worth.

Unlike the Indians,
They are humanitarians
But ours- comedians.

Indians celebrate...
When will Nigeria equate,
What growth's checks operate?

Like how courtship's will,
Wish marriage's freedom fulfill...
Relationship's thrill.

Independence day, 
India and Indians to weigh... 
How hell the past stray! 

Congratulations!

Premium Member Real Life Nightmare

fourth of July 2025
people are celebrating Independence Day
Texas is unaware of the tragedy about to descend
a Christian summer camp will never be the same
while innocents slept, they were torn from their beds
By flood waters who had sneaked in like giant serpents
I cannot imagine their terror as they tumbled into icy cold water
dark and dank, a real- life nightmare
many of them children, others just a notch older than this
carried away, downstream, by a flood that stole their hopes and dreams
a flood that will not soon be forgotten,
a monster that carried away many families’ most precious gifts,
their children

Premium Member On Freedom's Wings


Years aogo...
They were shoved in trains.
Tortured, many baked.
Showered with gas, their lives cut
cruelly short.
Some had surrendered guns to the 
almighty government.
So, learn the Warsaw ghetto lesson well
If not, you put you and your familys' life,
into a torturous hell.

No protection when the soldiers came!
Many lives taken and wastefully blood
spilt in vain.
They all had a right to live!
But were labeled criminals and no
due process did they have.

We must never like the Nazi's be!
America, nay..any country!
Destroying a human's life and
accomplishments dispassionately!
When even one person loses due
process rights,
We all better start having restless,
sleepless nights.
For when anyone can accuse another
on hear-say or baselessly...
Once this happens,and we believe it, 
We are well on the way to hell,willingly!

Independence

In search of freedom, many braved the high seas, 
Needing to flee the chains of their home countries.
Desiring a fresh start in a far-off land;
Educating their children to understand.
Plymouth, Jamestown, Hampton, and other such sites;
Enduring hardships, attacks, and other fights.
Now viewing self-rule, like Paine, as Common Sense;
Declaring to England their independence.
Early clashes at Lexington and Concord;
Not shrinking from gunfights or edge of a sword.
Claiming patriots’ victory at Yorktown;
Earning a U.S. republic, not a crown.

My Prayer For Today
July 3rd 2021
Miracle Man

Heavenly Father,
this morning, I bow in your presence once more this
side of eternity thanking you for another day and the blessings of life.
Today my heart is heavy for those who have been adversely affected by the
Pandemic this past year. Those who have lost their jobs and homes and feel they have no hope. Cause them to see that all our hope lies in you.
Refresh my mind with the names of all those who have requested prayer
for a loved one for one reason or another.
As Independence Day approaches help each of us to see that the freedoms
we enjoy were not free, but came as a result of others paying a price.
Just as my salvation came to me without price, the price was prepaid at the cross. Nothing comes free to one without a cost being borne by another. Give me opportunities today to share the testimony that you have given me. Make it easy, this day, for me to share what you’ve placed on my heart. Then when sun has set, and time of rest has come, give me a peace from knowing I’ve done my best this day. Forgive me my shortcomings and bless me as you see fit and I’ll forever praise you for it in Jesus’ name. 
Amen

Premium Member Democracy

Democracy..


Starting with Democracy as the Light of our life as community and nation..

Democracy as Equality stands in our founding days..and point to the recognition

Of Who we are..These words..based in our Declaration..were followed by our

Constitution which was the first Limitation placed on our real Identity.  

Democracy recognizes Equality as its substance..All are created equal..which

Is a stumbling block for those with a focus on the doings..the externals..which

Color our everyday lives..When the externals are found to be fleeting and illusory..

And the root of much suffering..There is a chance one might recognize Equality

As the Reality we are..Failing this recognition brings the history we have been

Taught in our schools..First the Constitution recognized these failings..Laws

Restrained lives which..living in desperation..quiet and not..so to allow a

Community known as a nation..The externals in the Constitutional beginning

Were extensive..slavery and women's status..were dark coverings of Democracy..

Our History has recorded the slow progress of removing some of these 

Coverings..With setbacks..which offer lessons for the days we are now living..
