As we hold our faith in every unflinching resoluteness
We embark at a distant port with ease and gladness.

Proud lion stood against the wind
Defying it to do its best
The wind recognized the resoluteness of lion
Admiring his strength and bravery
Not the first element to acknowledge the power of lion

Dragged down by her own arms and eyes, to the surrounding sheol of the they
Authentic life gets buried in the dirt of averageness, as the world’s prey
She is a being in the world, whose only true life is resoluteness
Especially since she falls into dedistancing, reaching averageness
In the vulgar tomb, psychology and biology cannot give light
Nevertheless, in her grave, she hears the silent call that no soul can recite
(Inspired from reading the philosophy book "Being and Time" by Martin Heidegger)

O great people in a great forest land
From the land of the Igodomigodo to the kukuruku
I know you and the tragedy of your heroic tale
You are the pulse of a great nation
The heartbeat of many tribes, cultures, and beliefs
Seated in their midst from east, west, south, and north.
Oba gha to kpe e, the great conqueror
With you, no kingdom matched your wealth and domain
From the east, west, south, and north
Your reign is like the eagle over the sky
And like a mother hen, sheltering her chicks
With walls, moats, forest, and war cries.
Great land, your artistry is beyond compare
Woman, your beauty and history are adorned in bronze
The Portuguese came to spy on your beauty
The British came with a false romance
And they ravaged her
Even the forest land, the northern men assault
Against her will, her culture, and belief.
And my love lay wasted and abandoned
O great people in a great forest land
Arise as we put our past behind us
Today we have healed our wounds
By our diligence and resoluteness
Binis, Esan, Afemai, all who dwell in the land
Let us together build a great land
And be the heartbeat of a great nation!

i read indulgence mid scripted words
breaking all the rules and then some,
what be greater than gutting & swallowing
uttermost concentration of language
critically consummated or otherwise,
communing within written ideologies
something profoundly reverent or
perhaps deliberate liberating nonsense,
nonetheless commonsensical compunction to
the discerning foresightedness of poets
& enduring escape artists 'tween psyche's
hallucinations & declarations
about analytically anomalous analgesics
and mellisonant melancholy metonymy,
rising above the fray of brutally alliterated
annotations fragmenting & fracturing dimensions,
steel blades sharpening anthologies' imperfect isms
inferring resoluteness 'tween deductive reasoning,
willing exposure imparting quintessential bollocks
literally grasping mercilessly melded metaphors
courageous enough to virtually be aptly bled,
plunged beneath swords' inky touchstones
