Forever Forgive Me
Forever forgive me
For my one and only iniquity
Please forgive me
With forbearance eternally

Lots of anger and lust
Got a hold of me…

Set my soul free

Forever forgive me
Determine my footsteps to the light
Emotionally unhappy
Intervene...

Byword People (Came By Way)

the nightmare before
When the blue wails

Dark journey’s end for the castoff children,

Embezzle the country's money 

they lay awake with so much ego

down the country yard, they sing their own song

they deprived the poor of their rights

mass cried in tears for their...

What Have You Done
Unraveling threads of a desperately mending heart, I cry out “What have you done!” weighed down with shame, with untamed grief the anchors attached around my quivering feet.

In My Dream . . . (For Hon. Ali M.O Ayodeji)
The dream was of me
I dreamt off me in my dream
It was fearfully dreadful a dream
Long ago was the day of my last dream
Before the dream that came knocking on me
Startled still, as I opened...

She slipped clumsily in a 
café
Looked all around her
from the corner of her 
eye
Felt all eyes upon her
Bit her lip
and flushed crimson 
disconcertedly.

fired
Got down in the dumps
Was down and out

Toes arched high,
elbows bent with hand over heart
Eyes swaying side to...

My muddied, motherly eyes I turned away
When he looked at her in that lustful way
Drowning my voice as my tongue I silenced
She was my shield against his violence
I had so devalued her existence
That from me...

Premium Member This Mystery About Me...
Whoever tries to interfere
with this mystery about me:
is in for a stunning surprise,
everything deeply concealed
can't possibly be  revealed!
Others will sell their soul to green,
to be in the glamorous spotlight; 
and the irony, beside the...

Jumbo eyes eyeing the thundering tears
Under the bridge of illusion was it made
Unlimited limitation driving guts of guilt

By guilty men that once hurt me scornfully.

Harmonise and everything, full blast, 
Most of the others had strong voices, 
And I would wish mine was cast.

Old Days
Bats ran on opposite directions searching for mate
Chasing each other across the skies 
Chilly evening, company anyone could contemplate 
Crickets too sung to the sundown melodies 

An old man sat outside his old hut

The Trail Where They Cried
The Trail Where They Cried

Following the wooded trail;
Fainted footprints I traced.
Embedded in the dirt and shale;
Of ancestors who were displaced.

The wind blew cold and mournfully;
As tears streamed from my eyes.
I cursed Andrew Jackson most scornfully;
Wishing...

Dark and cruel to behold
We smile in tears and agony
Death smiles scornfully behind
The only gift of life is death itself
Fears in joyful mood 
Destruction our humble friend here...
