NGWonders
In Nigeria’s heart, the wonders shine, From Ogbunike Caves to Yankari’s line. Farin Ruwa falls with power and grace, While Owu’s waters dance in place. Olumo Rock stands strong and wide, Idanre Hills with age and pride. Obudu’s mountains, calm and high, Where Niger and Benue rivers lie....

Premium Member The Sinking of a Rock

Quartzite Rock
l see a bridge, it's a river of glass on roof tops high, and dense views of grass it floats up above, in clouds of the sky how is it done ? l keep wondering why its a place now of wonder, that visitors go a UNESCO forest, that millions flow a vision of beauty and peace...

Premium Member Road To Rock Bottom
Rock bottom is a dark lonely place One people will pray to never see It's overflowing with the lowest lows Reminding you of a life full of misery The select few who are exiled there Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness This road is where desperation is...

Premium Member As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn Emptying out the lake of hate, I am This ecosystem dies, but was it alive?

Premium Member By the Way a Rock Pigeon Cooed
By the way a rock pigeon cooed Deliberately out of sight And moved me to rise from bed With my own jingle in heart And July's breath stills the pond In its disarming manner And robs the chimes of their song And warms the oleander And the way a cottontail ...
