Bring Peace To Whole World

Bring Peace to Whole World

Introduction.

This is Jim Horn who loves writing poetry and posting it
on Poetry Soup. I also hate typing. It is now 0500 in the
morning and I am just starting to prepare my latest poem.
Just started my Hawaiian Blend cup of coffee and am
drinking it. Laptop is in my lap and notebook with my 
poems in it is on left side of me. I am reading what I
wrote down and posting it to Poetry Soup right now. 
I always write down my poems in my notebook first.
My fingers seem to naturally flow onto the peace of
paper. Typing it up on computer is one of my dislikeable
points and even despicable as a cartoon character said.
This poem to me is the best that I have ever written. It
explains exactly how I would like my poem treated and 
properly respected. I am the first to have broken Haiku
not Hiaku rules by rhyming some of the lines. To me,
this is a modernized version of haiku. Oh, and one other
thing. The website address should be at the bottom of each
poem so it can be located. Here is an example that was just
sent to me: www.poetrysoup.com/poem/quiet_of_the_night_696787
Lastly but not leastly, I feel that every poem should start off with an
introduction. Now on with the show and my poem. Jim Horn

Sun soon arose and later started to set
Then I would write one best ever and yet
That a poet has been written before
Will love everyone and thoroughly adore.

So great my poem always will be to me 
Deep as an ocean wide like some sea
And tall mountain majestic and mighty
To be taken seriously and not lightly.

When further and further into poem explore
You will always appreciate it more and more
And somewhat later much to my very surprise
Poem would win a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize.

Prize by my President to me was presented
And to read it before Congress I consented
Poem is attached to wall in an archive
Forever and ever there it will survive.

God who I praise and because of Him
My each poem is in a book all of them
So you can now read and start to sing
Peace to whole world thy all will bring.

Imagine Nigeria

IMAGINE  NIGERIA.
Imagine  Nigeria,
Becoming  a  sweet  fruit
Like  my  orange  juice,
Imagine  Nigeria
With  patriotic  youths
Who  speck  truth  and
Make  my  future  look
Good,
Imagine  Nigeria
That  education  carry’s  a
Concrete  foundation,
Becomes  a  national  tool
Towards  economic  civilization.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  the  Elders   give  me
Shelter,
As  helicopters  isn’t  only
For  the  god  fathers,
Imagine  Nigeria
My  area  without  malaria
Where  the  health  system
Isn’t  a  trap  wearing  danger,
Imagine  Nigeria
During  the  good  and  bad,
We  all  stick  together.

II

Imagine  Nigeria
Where  majority  is  happy  to
Sing  her  slogan,
Infants  carry  my  flag  high
On  her  shoulders.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  my  export  moves  round
The  world,
Without  corruption  been  her
Escort.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  terrorism  isn’t  the
MilitarY  salary,
And  unmask  every  stranger
Within  her  territory.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  tension  isn’t  collected
Before  pension, instead
The  aged  gather  for  happy
Recreation. 
Imagine  Nigeria
That  electricity  lights  up
This  city
Its  connected  with  easy  and
Distributed  for  almost  free.

III
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  all  my  blames  are  not
Left  for  the  leaders,
Instead, first  caution  our  nuclear
Bread  winner.
Never  curse  Nigeria
All  I  depend  is  these  natural
Mineral,
I  can  never  reverse  the
Desperate  immigrant,
Looking  forward  to  construct  a
Beautiful  new  river  on  
Another  land.
Imagine  Nigeria
When  industries  employ  my
Indigence
And  never  appoint  by  your  community,
Refineries  doesn’t  pollute  the  high
Sea  and  kill my  cat  fishing.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  farming  is  encouraged
By  modernized  planning,
Imagine  Nigeria
The  prosperity  sister
Make  big  plans  from  your
Little  area.
My  governor  isn’t  a  magician.
Imagine  Nigeria
Beautified  with  Iroko
Sky  scrapers, and	
Ordained  the  genuine  giant
Of  AFRICA.
                                                                                                                                      HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.

The Urge

The urge 

For we been equipped fellow citizens of 
Motherland, Africa she sang of, Poetic is 
It justice? just ice frosting dreams, hopes
Parliament a breeding citadel of perverse 
Codes that terms us labourers in our land.

Gazetted reforms that impairs our virtues
And moralistic principles of being, rejected
By those with all the mighty through veto,
How lame I voted  him in for betterment
Of the kin, weary leaving in the cold street.

My ails heals from their white precipitates,
Inscribed by a solo individual, dual turns a 
Taboo yet granny always had crushed roots
The ails would shy... Boots, books, and tie
Paper wetting from the drips of enslavement 

Hunting modernized but the parliaments left
In great chaos, adaptation of the scripts left
Us this urge,  The urge to revolt, yearning...
Codified practices that are never followed by 
The sire, a new mutant foe in make, Change.

 Vultures

No wonder why I have this naked head
These weak claws, Neither have I ever 
Wondered why I feed chiefly on carrion
Rotting carcass dressed by fellow humane 
Ages past starving, preying, pitying shame. 

Carrion bird been termed, so wary I envy 
The keen and noble eagle whose social unit
Portray efficiency and tranquility in plays 
How he is gifted in soaring up highs spred
He preys on fresh flesh, he hustles nothing. 

Vultures we been cased by mother nature
For we toil yet others birds emblems might 
We long for the deprived freedoms, denied
And fed on their remains. Avarice being no
Shame for no honor is related to my name.

Black birds whom seize by violence, preys
Like us, feeds greedily stood forth our Sire.
Corrupt ravens whom disperse parliaments
Owls on the watch, waiting to grace thier
Chance too, damned birds of disgust, cursed.

Premium Member Wake-Up Call, the Seven Churches of America

Like every mortal since Adam and Eve's transgression, I'm not perfect,                              
but in The Church, The Bride of Christ is where I want to be. I'm not a self-proclaimed critic sitting on a high bar. I'm not a Christian claiming to be                            'holier than thou'. I only know what I feel, what I sense, what I see. I'm           neither prophet nor seer, but I know what I see. There are churches in
what seems to be a valley paved with a roadway that is shaped like a         "Y", called  the Valley of Decision.

There's no burning flame on the stove top, but I SEE A CHURCH
unaware of its impending demise like the frog in the kettle. I hear                 a wake-up call from the heavens, but I SEE A CHURCH fast asleep              like Rip Van Winkle who slept through the American Revolution.                    It has been a while since the Exodus, but I SEE A CHURCH enslaved             in Egypt land. Presently, I'm not aware of an Exodus, but I SEE A CHURCH                 
wandering in the wilderness and struggling to be led.

Armed with weapons not made with hands, I SEE A CHURCH in conflict
and at war with its worst enemy. It's not on the Island of Patmos, but             I SEE A MODERNIZED AND WORLDLY CHURCH at ease in Zion and entangled in Laodicea.

There is no food famine in America presently, but I SEE ANOTHER CHURCH hungry and thirsty for change, renewal, revival, restoration, and a move of God. We are nearing the crossroads of time and eternity where the sand in the hourglass is dropping rapidly, and I SEE THIS CHURCH, not in panic but preparation mode, and poised for a reset in anticipation for the last great awaking just before the 2nd coming of the KING of kings and LORD of lords!!!

Kigali, In I Am

Kigali! You’re a dream differed
          An indefinite dream for unkeyed
          You break too many hearts
          Heal too many souls abruptly
          Kill so many indeed loves
          Thus incite a life of pretense.
          You’re a money made lifestyle
          A suitable dilapidate religion
          A refuge to desperate buddies
          That many believe you’re a curb
          Yet you confuse fidelitous colleens
          And deceive whoever you want.
          But you’re a dam of opportunities. 

Kigali! You’re a home without taboos
          An essence of somewhat hopes
          Where people move each night
          Couples break back and forth
          Relationships built over sights basis
          Where everyone mind their own hassles
          Big players are the best prayers
          Where worship is a vital business
          Preaching, a sophisticated deal
          With a new mean of divination
          Yet it’s got a certain overnight
          And God is only sought by troubled!
          But you’re a land of many chances.

Kigali! You’re a Neverland we never plot
          Thus many of us don’t mind you
          But still can’t revert to birthplaces.
          You’re a confusing glittering promise
          Enormous attractants diverting youngsters
          Where speaking a mother tongue is illiterate
          A place that changed many of us names
          Where tramping is a tiresome sport
          Many starve and won’t ever surrender
          Such a place of modernity and technology
          That even modernized feelings and foods
          Bodies can be remade and looks created.
          And you’re a center of creativity.


The Story of Life

the story of life
life is not a sugar 
Cain stick 
it is not sweet like 
we want any more 
intelligent human 
has turned it upside 
down 
they are now in charge 
we gave them the chances
all what they need 
so we are tied up 
to their ropes of 
no justice

the story of life 
life is not a bread 
and honey Paradise
any more
it has been captivated
by evil human 
so the righteous
always have a 
cross to bear 
the reality of life 
now is full of lies 
the truth is not legal
any more in too many places
the fact of truth is always 
a closed factor 
it is hated nowadays 
so all we do is just follow 
in an era of manipulation

the story of life 
the reality of life 
nowadays is painted 
with struggles and suffering
that included everyone
we all suffer one way or the other 
no land is a perfect place now 
in a perfect world 
the programming of the mind 
never stop 
the mind control system is still
in charge of our freedom
the super powers still waving
the flags of wars 
the poor still in fears of their tommorow
what a life 
what a world 
a true life story 

the story of life 
life is a free zone 
I wonder how true 
is that now 
the rich still richer 
the poor remains more poorer
the games of civilization
is still the same 
the greedy are still greedy 
nothing has change 
the old evil ways still
never gone 
but only improve and modernized
to further improve 
the captive of the common man 
who innocently serve and 
believe in his land 
our life is nothing good
better than that of the old 
years gone 
we are still fighting
and that is a very sad story 
what a story 
the story of life

Regal In Me

Regal in me

As a puppet strung in a rope
I remained tying with my bloc
Ever since I opened eyes and 
Knew something with laugh
Regality soaked me as a morning loaf

As other I was said to follow with hard
To be gentle boy bearing 5 kilo load
Wept tightly aborting their alert
I remained failed in my regal

Sincere morality duties and obligations 
I cultured lot of bore as herbs in horticulture
Still I bore a lot of pain in my reign
Remembering how to overcome modern regal

Those heavy awful teachings of others 
Always perform to the effect of jet culture
Fly over the sky at tight right
Otherwise fall and sink in sea deep to die

Regal in me awakened more or less in life
Vertical horizontal diagonal fly
A kiss in the dream some time only freed me
I am the monarch in my blew regal

Classical test modernized facial 
Removed hairs from thighs and hide
Very critical to accept with fair darling
In reality I am failure to digest in my regal

Matter of cosmos and let fly thought their 
Sometime geared up high high in the bright sky
Ultimately downfall from there with great havoc to die
I never boarded in super jet fly

I invented a master plan for me to reign
Let standing myself  in the monarch dream
A treat of tasteful opportunity,
If I stood first in the competition to win.

I remember redden face of lass
If she happened to raise rim of frock calf high
These days in my realm I need to bear 
Two parallel mounds attract the eyes.

Justice

I go by Derz
and I'd appreciate 
a minute of your time
to educate you with my words
of wisdom
excuse the slurs
I was higher than the solar system
that night was a blur, i was a victim
to the party scene schism
my actions are just a symptom
of rebelling against this crooked 
economical system
they try to warn you
about the horned dude
looking through the eye
at the top of the prism
no one gets out alive
something like a prison
a medieval purgatory 
a modernized reformatory
it extremely worries me
how ethnocentric  
the people of the world can be 
they only see what they want to see
what their minds have been brainwashed to  sense and perceive
what the media
justifies them to believe
they're ignorant of their intent
no matter what they say 
this territory isn't free
there is no such thing as free will
excuse me if I'm coming off as crazy 
I forgot to take my pills
but if there was,such,
a thing
we wouldn't come together, as angry protesters
protesting,
against our cities protectors
who are unfit in properly 
protecting,this community
and we, the people 
have seen enough
if it wasn't for that badge
you wouldn't be so tough
don't forget that you're still one of us
and it is unlawful
as well as unjust 
to kill innocent lives
of people who were loved
but no one can grasp and understand 
what the fuss is 
we don't mind, being blinded 
just as long as we get our justice!

Poetless In Milwaukee

Milwaukee the City of Festivals
A festival for every season
Known for beer and cheeses
Cheese curds squeak as beer foams.

Old architecture are reborn
Modernized for this era
Museums within and near the lake
To arts and performances
In theaters across the city.

Yet with what Milwaukee has
There seems to be something missing
Where are the mystical words
That reside this urban jungle?

Where are the poets
That breath life into poems?
Where are meetups and events
For writers to share thoughts
To hear a poet's inspiration?

I can't seem to find 
Even a poetry reading
Not even for the afternoon
Exclusive to the night
As a nocturnal bat taking flight.

Is there no love
For a literary art?
That goes unappreciated
In this little metropolis?

Why must poetry be a bug
To be brushed under the rug
As the other arts get glory
Why must poetry go unloved?

Let us bring awareness
To poetry for Milwaukee
Bring more events to honor
The literary art during April
Its most treasured holiday month
Dedicated to the beauty of poetry.

Dedicate a festival for literature
Poets across the country to come
To share their wisdom and art
Inspire new poets with its beauty.

It's time poetry deserved the spotlight
Rise like a phoenix from the ashes
To fly across the majestic sky
Above the City of Festivals
Fly sweet poetic phoenix
Let your presence be known.
