NGBOEJEOGU THE NEGLECTED SON
With a lamp hanging on the thatched wooden kitchen
I stared on the pot on fire as it boils hot ready for garri
I got lust in taught and my head shaken
This taught of the fall makes me worry
A cold breeze whispered and I shivered
The shock of the 11 I have not recovered
NGBOEJEOGU I mumbled
As a coconut fell down from its tree in grumble.
Crock crock crock an old frog echoed
It was the echoes of hard times
The night melodious cricket reaffirmed
The chicks have grown wings and perched
I saw as they fight the space with the hen who laughed
They forget the kite prefers them as prey in absence of mother hen
As they picked the ground and fed
The kite prepared to land and feed.
The night moon in council with the glowing stars
Shining brightly on the sky
While the owe cry in singing
Under the mango tree I sat weeping
Amidst this tears of fear
The terror of the day light draws near
The cats shine it's bright eyes as it settles
As I took the pot of the fire in feeble
She did smile
And i then gushed
Like only a father can
Giving her hand away
On her wedding day
30 year's of mind
Yet only at the age of 5
Placed inside a foreign language
school without a single word
to speak or understand
Left alone in charge of my
father her grandad palliative care
Held my hand right to the very
end at the vets when my dog
was to be put down
Is it any wonder this kind hearted
child grew up so quickly
And was and to this day the
one that so called grown ups
call upon in times of need
While never stopping once to think
The cost of that the shoulder
placed upon had to bare
Is neither was nor was fair to ask
And thank the lord for i but not
her today
Stood beside her own father
And i seen and sore that very child
With nothing but a beaming
smile upon her face
And in some small way it reaffirmed
my lost belief in life
And that sometimes you actually
get out what you deserve
And the simplest of smiles
Means as much if not more if
you care
To you than it does to them
The mist swirls through the deep vale
shifting slowly and giving glimpses
of the lush vegetation and flowers.
Slowly it dissipates in dawn's sunlight.
Teasing as it lazily drifts
showing for a brief second
a colourful bank rife with flowers.
Then blankets it from sight.
As the day warms up
it appears to thicken
then yield oh so slowly.
Wisps of mist now fading.
Before our eyes lies
startling beauty.
Nature's riches displayed
a wealth of orange and yellow.
Pinks, purples and blues vie
each more beautiful
and lavish green trees
gently shade the saplings.
The Treasure of Nature's Canvas
is now stretched out before us
while the birds happily sing
as they rush to build their nests.
Insects buzz with joy as they collect
the pollen and nectar from flowers.
In this new spring day
life itself is reaffirmed.
I like to read a book just once,
No matter how I like it;
So when I finish, from my list,
I’ll go ahead and strike it.
The same applies to Broadway shows –
One time is quite enough;
If I go back again, it seems
It’s just not up to snuff.
For movies, though, this won’t apply,
Or certain TV shows.
When favorites hit the screen, I’m glued;
That’s just the way it goes.
Today I went against my rule,
(A habit I should fix)
So we saw “Once” a second time
(My husband had cheap tix).
It reaffirmed that I should always
Take my own advice,
For seeing “Once” just once was great;
I overdosed on twice.
How sweet the sorrow
How deep the void
We go on with one less tale of footprints in the sand beside us.
With wishful eye is cast memory’s glance to those prints found falling forever behind, the spirit of their artist slowly fading from this earth as the winds of time swallow even our own mind’s memory of their placement.
Gathered in our grief,
huddled in our memories, recalling the joys,
experiencing the heartache, sharing the load of all those who will somehow carry on,
we proceed in reaffirmed certainty of our own impending fate,
less in number
aware of our solitude
all the more alone
yet better for having had a moment in which to share life's path together.
The black in me is hungry
Always seeking more,
She wants to hunt the bad ones
Bring justice for the lore.
Though most can’t understand this
Part of me and free,
When spurned I burned and reaffirmed
The deadly black in me.
The black in me is craving
To better all the time and
Time is no constraint
For other and divine…
Where consciousness is here
And there and up above,
The black in me appreciates
All pure kinds of love.
Strong black in me is fighting
For moral rights and truth,
For black has had her lessons
From childhood and youth.
She sees there’s many problems and
Goodness she preserves,
Connecting, protecting
As black in me observes.
The black in me considers;
Graciousness reflects,
Cordial to others
Earth, Sea and sky respects.
Loves the starry nights and
Lives the very sun
Amongst people and all living things
The black in me is One.
See the black in me is not my skin
Though bloodline is dark brown,
True blackness not just physical
Yet always is profound.
There is one place the black in me
Could never ever part,
The specialness and preciousness
Within my very heart.
The black in me you can’t wash out,
Reduce or take control,
She’ll always be eternally
For she’s my very soul.
Now I hope you understand
I’m as human as can be and
May relate to spirit trait and
Personality.
For I’d like to be your friend and
Thank you for your ask
To write about my blackness
Has been an untold blast!
Yes there is even more
I am this very night...
Though please take pen and write again
So I can read your white.
She came and
Kissed me today
But still
My gaze
Was locked
She reaffirmed
My being
Human
Here
It gave me courage
Strength
Purpose
Where there seemed
None of
Being
Human
Here
I am a rich man
As I have more
Than all
But it doesn’t
Make me feel happy
Just a bit sad of
Being
Human
Here
I wish I could show
The love
That’s all around
Human
Beings
Here
But they seem to busy
With consuming
Everything that is near
These
Human
Beings
Here
They get so much
Enjoyment, entertainment
From suffering
From hatred
From war, violence and division
That’s why it continues
For the
Human
Beings
Here
They love themselves
More than others
Which will never change
As that’s what it is
To be
Human
Being
Here
Forever childish
Immature, selfish
Forever perpetual war
With themselves and neighbours
While raping nature and
Proclaiming a higher mentor
Those liars
Human
Beings
Here
Tis time of hope
But really is there
Action is
But the couch has
A greater hold of
Human
Beings
Here
She came and
Kissed me today
While it brought
Me back to pure
Away from smothering
Corruption
It just reminds me
Of how rich I am
Richer than any
Human
Beings
Here
Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.
Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.
But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled resolution for liberation.
War's prosecution, through execution,
Forged dedication for recognition;
Its culmination brought dissolution
And vindication for aspirations.
While extrication brought satisfaction
States' acclamations lacked definition.
This Federation showed imperfections;
Low validation forced redirection.
Deft composition penned Constitution;
Strong propositions scored affirmation.
Hence, generations find inspiration
And preservation their obligation.

Tell all the people yet to come
Democracy is what we chose;
Their mission's goal: protect it from
All foreign and domestic foes.
Our God is a moving He never sits still
He's always has something happening but it's only at His will
Hold on it's coming God will restore
Hold it's coming God says just endure
On that day God will uproot all the bitterness
On that day God will display all His magnificence
Justice will be served God's grace will be assured
Hold it's coming God will restore
Those immigrants children locked in cages
Will one day be freed
Those corrupt politicians will soon be ousted
Because of their greed
The office of President will be reaffirmed
Once that malignant Trump is voted out
The river of racism running rampant in America
Will come to experience a drought
For nothing is hidden from God He sees all we do
The good, the bad, the evil and the acts of kindness through and through
As a nation we need to get it together so that we can be revived
With our faith and belief in the Lord God that which helped us survive
But first we can't be distracted by what it used to be and any doubts
We need a whole new mind set to allow God's wisdom in us to ring out
And we can't permit the unexpected turbulence of life
To knock us off our mission
As the road of life is hardly ever smooth
And you may experience a faulty transmission
So hold on it's coming God has a destination for you
Just please stand still and wait for Him to dispatch it through
Just remember to keep your eyes on the attitude indicators
That will signal strife
And stay focused on the road signs showing you
What God its doing in your life
Just don't look left and don't look right
Stay focused on what's ahead
For in order to go to a higher altitude
By the Holy Spirit you must be lead
Hold on it's coming
God's blessings are coming through
Hold on it's coming
God has a destiny for you
HOLD ON IT'S COMING
Oh of Isis love lament
Raging against Ra’s morning light
Where could the time have went
Racing through the desert night
And by the gods of Karnak
We bow to let their power in
And make a solemn promise
To return time and time again
Now to meet my princess
On the banks of the Nile
To embrace forever more
Never to lose my lovers smile
Blessed by the gods
Granted and gifted light
On our lips a promise
And then we rush into the night
Of gay Paris’s happenings
Oui, oui I do recall
That covered balcony
That overlooked it all
The torrid love affair
In the heat of passion true
An ancient promise kept
Memories along the rue
And then I met my lover
Well down by the shore
On the banks of the Seine
We embraced each other once more
Granted and gifted light
Our passions wildly burn
And once again my love
We submit to the nocturne
Flores De la Noche
How they do intoxicate
As I stand so anxiously
Aside a Spanish lake
And then my lover’s face
Graced with “luce a lun”
Our vows reaffirmed
And not a moment too soon
For there on the banks
Of the lake Asturias
The strength of our promise
Is there to carry us
And then as before
We’re graced and gifted light
In the favor of our Father
We go once again into the night
And here we stand today
Reunited yet again
Same love and same heart
Only under a different skin
And on a beach Pacific
From a distance I see my love
And I give thanks and praise
To the mighty One above
Meeting brings us round again
To fulfill our ancient ties
This I knew the very moment
That I gazed into your eyes
For once again the gods
Have granted and gifted light
And our promise afresh fulfilled
We go perpetually into the night
