Long Working day and night Poems

Oklahoma cowboy, tough coal miner’s son

Herding made no money, its stock was...

The naughtiest you’d find on your TV -
I'm now chillaxin'...

In the trees
Small fields
Cloudy skies

A camo boy 
Destined to be a man.

In the streets
Between buildings
Bright grey sky's 

A suburban girl
Destined to escape.

Looking up they see the same

Looking up they see the same 
moon.

Looking out...

hammering, programming, all so...

Once married to a Nigerian man, mean and cruel
Who pretty much thought I needed to follow only his rules

Once married to a Nigerian, he had one intention, his 'green card'
I will continue to fight Immigration...

The living conditions weren't ideal but we had a plan

We are the children of time 
That big round clock 
Arms like arrows

Of ambition 
We succeed 
While hearts bleed
Yet we go on and on....

Memories go back to my vanished youth,
And I reminisce clearly my master’s beautiful farmhouse.
With its granaries full of corn and wheat.
He was once a zealous farmer working day and night,
With me- as his inseparable companion.

A nation stood in silence, in shock that September day..
So many loved ones lost, not to be found..

Building rage because the feeling of being locked in a cage,
Dreaming of my time on stage.

Struggling to keep it together,
In a relationship that wont...

Surely, one day

We will have to get to our way

Forgetting the bad past

Hoping for the good future really fast.

Whether under a torch or a sunlight

Keep succeeding, oh my dear,

Keeping the things...

He's a deligently...

which makes me jobless.

Even though I like to speak on 
behalf of many indigents and unknowns,
making me the voice of the voiceless.

But you can not kill the hope in me

But I will still a part of history
I am a sinner in my...

Carrying timber and coal in exchange of education
But how can I survive in this...

Emanating glow
Garlands flying everywhere
Sparkling through the snow

Cherry pie and candy canes
Sugarplums in the mist

Santa checks his list

Children's fingers sticking tightly
From the candy treats
Heat flickers through...

Below the fingers reaching, growing
Into darkness, stretching..holding

Feeding above tiny buds of green
Working day and night, beauty unseen

Preparing a mighty fortress strong and bold
To withstand battles, ancients foretold

Above saplings bend supple in summer breeze
Not realizing, soon...

the vicious cycle of endless mind games.

and found themselves on a playground where one pays 
before one plays
