Passenger seat
For a long time some time ago I believed I knew everything and there was nothing left to know. It was a role that I knew how to play. It was a character who kept me alive every day. When it was time to give someone the wheel, I felt a weight lifted from my

The Dark Passenger
There is a monster that accompanies him,
In halls, streets, college, it never leaves his side.
Better than the lovers and friends,
But its company brings demise.
He carries the baggage of his own thoughts,
Death always stays by his side.
Made her his closest friend,
Just one wish away for this to end.
The dark passenger is his name,
Death is the ruler

the passenger
wishing and hoping.
living in past memories,
empty all alone.
living with the hope of a future.
watching like a spectator, of the life i lost.
butterflies swarmed my heart every time our paths crossed.
from feeling like a dream to becoming my dreams.
waking up and your gone,
all thats left is the echos of our song.
cold finger tips,
sharing

Mournful Clouds
How steady the merciless raindrop falls,
Could they be the fragments of my soul?
Wept from the mournful clouds, my mind.
Watering the diseased flowers, my body.
Yet my heart lingers, in the void of life,
No passenger walking by the sidewalk,
Can ease the fractured throne of love,
No love for life, no life for hope, no beats,
Why should a man

Passenger 95
Breaking news, there’s been a crash on the tracks. A crash of two trains and 96 deaths to be exact.
Two years has gone by and they had a remembrance party at the pub. Just a get together of friends with a few drinks and some grub.
Mike had been there just on the off chance,

The Passenger
Born in December on a cold winter’s day
I was baptised a Christian without any say
My life given direction before I could walk
A school then chosen before I could talk
I went through communion and was soon confirmed
In my inner cocoon I wriggled and squirmed
I advanced through school to the final stage
Soon after that I was earning

The Passenger
I woke up wondering where I was
In my dream I had been driving somewhere
Here there everywhere trying to get home
I thought I saw it down the street that street
Turned down that street only to find
It didn’t look like the right one
The end looked too cluttered too busy
I was going down the wrong street
Looked

A Motor Park In Nigeria
Here, the word I drop for Travelers “Hark!”
Where offended driver begins to bark:
“Why should you there your Stupid Volvo park?”
The bared teeth of speaker those of a shark;
If he sank them in one’s flesh the same mark,
Now cursing one, next singing like a lark…
Hurry not if destination is Park,
Not the Amusements, I mean: Motor Park!
Where

A Hurt Passenger Loosens His Tongue
These bastards styling as men’s movers
From their short trips expect universe;
Traveler to pay for bag in booth
Or get ready to lose his front tooth…
I’m the sorely aggrieved passenger
Usefully turned God’s messenger.
You don’t passenger try to clean through;
Your cheap hapless lies make out as true,
Voices sounding like owners might die,
If they should be asked a probing

Air Crash After Full Cash
The plane had after three hours crashed,
With the scene after four hours flashed;
The people who had been airlifted
Without a lone exception gifted:
Three hundred and sixty passengers,
Thirty six of them God's Messengers,
A thirty - six year - old senator
Involved with a female aviator,
A twelve - year - old school child monitor
And his doting father janitor
Farmer

A Deservedly Misunderstood Driver
A Mitsubishi breezes out of the South at Seven,
The North storming at Eleven;
The driver’s continual worrying of gear five,
The tires of the machine ever roaring alive;
In pyramidal slights of screaming passengers
Now-turned doom-alerting messengers.
It’s a driver clearly going bananas,
His remarks classically proving his uncivil manners;
Kano pedestrians openly mad at him,
Now and then attacking him as a

Virtual Passenger
As a virtual passenger
bound for Auschwitz tour ~~~
my mind tries to evade holocaust realities
while heart throbs fast against historical angst...
allowing tears to express thanksgiving praise
for freedom* my soul verily enjoys today.
*John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
