Not so TREU, will monopolise through and though
It will be better, if you could forget about your
And the long two weeks' that broke who..?
Maybe me? Or you? What can people do?
Well Gandi did peaceful non compliance i'll bet
That reality is not being taught to children today
By sociialist teaching and their doctrinal apprentice's
Or you can choose to euthanise, its a slanted word
Situation that echoes a term known as genocide
There is also the word infantacide, there are phobias
And misnomers so theres plenty coming right at
You.' (Reality tv should amuse) anethesise you mind
In a world that were'e told is kind? And be sure to say
Take care ' Treat others with respect, let the authoritys
Break their necks; or pepper spray any 75 year olds in
Their way.!
Its only double standards if you don't look the other
Way... Deau.)

It is my desire that we stay together forever
Not minding exhausting my energy in keeping us together
I want to make sure you are accepted by my mother
And never rejected by my sisters
I know your heart is fragile
And it had once been broken by infertile Fatai
All of those are history
Because we are writing a new story
And we will soon ride together in the same Camry
But here is what bothers me
No doubt you mean so much to me
But how do I monopolise you?
How do I keep you only to myself?
What do I do to keep the fire of our love burning ?
All those are what constitute my greatest fear
I am afraid of loosing you
For loosing you is my greatest fear

Petrichor petals
float with departing zephyrs,
misplacing misunderstood messages,
whose true meanings are misinterpreted.
Mislaid memories
reflect on picture perfect puddles,
mentally memorising mistakes,
leaving behind a legacy of regret.
Painful passages
monopolise melancholic mind,
bittersweet swansong symphonies,
seduce soulful spirit into a sabbatical.
Pessimistic penitence
engraves on blank expression,
depicting disease, drifting to death,
nauseating numbness perpetually laments.

Simple Musings
26 January 2018
Drenched in incapability...
...The signature of stress...
...with diversion crippled by distraction...
...This failure to be one's best...
...Confusion dictates sustainability...
...Common sense redress...
... Unreliability you accept without regret?
...Observation cruel...
...You believe no cure...
...As you allow yourself to sink below...
...further great depth...
...Yet your confidence stealth - blind...
...Many circled in your cry...
...You gave up - You gave in...
...And now you pay the price...
...Face your demons they're on the rise...
...They have torn you in two...
...and now they monopolise...
...somewhere inside of you...
...You somehow forgot to believe...
...To help yourself...
...To help yourself...
...Will some day set you free...
I remember seeing that shadow;
it had that distinct shape
She hovered around me a few weeks back
but surely enough she disappeared
Now it's returned and I recall
the feeling of dread she gave me the first time she visited
Because that anxiety returned
A pair of eyes that penetrate
my head, can see my inner being and thoughts race
The shadow knows what games to play
She plays hop-scotch on my fear
Rolls dice to decide my insecurity
I cannot fathom the depth of her cruelty
She is the snake when I escape up a ladder
only to slide down her and start this game again
I may never win
The shadow keeps returning
A black storm cloud over my head of distrust
Forever playing games to monopolise
and take me away to her lair
I wait for the sunlight
Where the shadow cannot follow.
