I'm using this poem to explain,
How it is, I personally feel,
Living in this modern world today,
Speaking my truth, raw and real.
Even at my age I've seen,
Such a devastating amount of change,
But the fact we're still declining,
Is what I find most strange.
A colossal rise in living costs,
No sign of it going down,
Zero trust left in any leaders,
From the government to the crown.
The peoples voices have been silenced,
Too afraid to speak their mind,
Nothing but corrupt commanders in charge,
Acting selfish, forgetting to be kind.
I'm now living in a world,
It's shamefully popular to be fake,
Forever fighting over religion and money,
Putting our childrens future at stake.

The sneaky, slimy, slithering, squirming snake silently sat shamefully,
Stupendously-stumped.
The seated, sizzling, sneaky, slimy, slithering serpent still stupendously-stumped,
Squirmed slowly searching signaling scents.
With no stopping the squirming, silently-sneaky, slithering, shamefully-stumped serpent searching sign, the snake slithers sizzling surround sound.
Only with punishment, the slithering, slimy, silent, shamefully-stumped serpent stops sin-searching.
Now, be a bumble bee, buzzling big bumble bubbles and not a sneaky, slimy, squirmy, sin-searching, soul-scary, shamefully-stumped surround sound serpent-sizzling, sazzling, skimmed-scaled snake..•

I was quite sweet before the trauma of rape
Afterwards I was no chocolate cake
I was shamefully terrible in temper
Took my issues with men out on them
Having them fall in love with me
Was like a game of cards with odds
I didn’t even want to be married
Only to have indigo itch scratched
I did become quite a fan
Of having multiple boyfriends
Each like a tire on a car
I used to get around my broken heart
And of course I kept a spare man
Eventually I grew tired of the lame game
Of musical chairs using male frames
I began to mature and become patient
Motherhood came made me stop face
My pain and I stopped hurting myself
And perhaps other men as well
I took a vow of chastity
Sincerely was for the lord and me
And somehow he kept me covered despite my sins
I really did make amends within myself
And now I’m fearful of hurting men
I never tried to but was selfish then
Now I am like a new healed heart
I love the power of our God
Who picks you up turns you around
And places feet on solid ground
I’m not perfect and as I age
I feel happy that I am saved.
I repent of my sins. Amen.

Are you also truly, undoubtedly, deeply in love with me?
Or is it all purely, shamefully one big ruse?
Are you and I ever going to call upon a truce?

A Holly Day in May
the building is eerily empty today, everybody
has gone to the beach, even those in wheelchairs
I sit on the verandah in the hope of tanning
my scalp looks so white in the bathroom mirror
I used to sit in the sun and get a deep tan
which gave me skin cancer
Do the Gaza people sit in the sun away from their
tents, now bombed, because Gaza has nice
beaches and turquoise water.
The Israel monster regime keeps killing Palestinians
daily, 60 here and 40 there
It has been noticed, that more Jews are leaving
Israel, then newcomers to this Paradise of evil
I went to the pharmacy yesterday and wanted to buy
a self-tanning product, the person who served me
came from Congo, shamefully, I lost my nerves
and bought aspirins.
My wife, born in Kinshasa, said I was a racist
Once, when she was a stewardess, she met
the fabled Roger Moore, I say no more but has
a nice-looking daughter
I read Joe Biden talking about ********, maybe
he wished for one
We all have sexual fantasies, a curse for old men

That one lost their tongue
somewhere along the way
long ago, the sound,
doesn’t come out the same
anymore, so they roll it up
like a carpet containing
a nakedly dead body
of blunt words
like unplucked violins
untuned to how it all
really works
begging to be heard,
and the flowery prose,
purple and bruised
like over-ripe fruit
teeth rottingly sugary sweet,
is now seen
day-in-and-night-out,
struggling with ease
way too much
like madness overgrown,
the dense overgrowth
of language unspoke
hides glittering gems
blushing shamefully
more exquisite than
the now daily averies
all penned in babel
that flow in glass jarring
anticipated patterns
of suffocating
paisley prose,
the simple beauty
in the plainly spoke,
never again
to be seen nor heard,
the mercurial metaphors
birdfeed scattered
to the begging migrations
of petulant bluebirds
naughty nightingales
honey trapping
wet-beaked hummingbirds
all beating hearts
with their wild wind flapping,
tossing sticks and stones
to those tongue thirsty
kiss lapping, lap dancing
love parched, gargling
swallows

They came upon Palestine
With deceit and hatred in their hearts
As bombs and bullets do the killing
They spared none and those at still births.
Homes have been stolen
And more on the verge to be forcefully occupied
By infidels whose parents came like cargo cans
From Hitler’s concentration camps.
Palestine for ages has continued to bleed
From the hands of men with the Zionist’s creed.
Dreams have been cut in their prime,
Protecting their lands have become a crime.
Planes on killing mission in the air
Spreading fire and fury above and near
Cutting limbs and innocence in their sleep
As blood remain the tears they weep.
The bully had sent thousands to the world beyond
Shamefully boasting to kill more and more
Till Palestinian lands become completely his
But how can there ever be peace?
Let the bully not forget
That what has a beginning do have an end
For there is a supreme being down the bend
Ready to humiliate the bully with a taste of regret.

It’s been corrupted,
Even the learning systems in normality altered
The Innocence of examinations
Has swerved
Into Guilt of examinations
Exam malpractices everywhere!
Many students have sown the seed of levity
Which has grown into complacency
They, being carefree,
Are shamefully confident
They would cheat to the bull!
Assured their money could in qualms set them free.
Examiners have likewise injured the education routines of our country,
Even WAEC as a body
Of these –
In charge of its structures
They, like an engine that sucks tanks of oil,
So do they take bribes for scripts exchange
And manipulation of grades imputation.
Parents and guardians are fans of students and teachers:
Supporting their children,
And moderating tricks with teachers and examiners.
These exam malfeasances are done throughout:
From the class to external exams offices.

You are all vehement and gutsy
Putting across even the wrong forcefully
With vulgarity drawing a bow or curtsy
From a righteous man smeared shamefully
You care not for truth but to win
Teasing an argument to tear down whoever dares
With heads coining every justification for sin
To wear out the fervency of any man who cares
That’s how the world is under the evil one’s sway
A lordless codeless lot living for pleasure
Taking license of way and stray
And their wildest wishes are their treasure
They squander their prime
It is theirs to spend as they please
So long as the sin is not a crime
Their deadened conscience allows with ease
How many wishes have we heard from the frail
And how many regrets on the deathbeds
What does the realization of failure entail
That the end now unravels the soul’s dreads
Yet the cycle continues in the midst of counsel
Ye be wise that you descendants may live
Sit and reason only in a Godly council
And Godliness shall be all you take and give

I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Early on, I had dreams of college
But instead, I acquired street knowledge
High marks in breaking and entering
With masterful skills in cunning and scheming
Caught up!
I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Creeping and lurking in the darkness
My outer and inner void of lightness
Slipping and dipping around corners
Stability and morality in my feeble state were like foreigners
Caught up!
I didn't intend...
for this to be my end
Now, tricking and cracking for an ephemeral smile
Not living but merely existing like a thrown-away child
Spiraling down into a burning canyon of nihility
Now, shamefully busted and disgusted I am, as I should be

Then, he’d looked quite impervious,
Now, you can see: damned nervous
The present soon the previous,
Past triumph no more envious,
His change: shamefully obvious…
From ‘impervious’ to ‘nervous’
Journeys end in the grievous;
Like voyages perilous:
Satanic and mischievous.

How perfidious is it to hide,
not to be found and be recognized
for the values not revealed
but shamefully being cast aside?
How deplorable is it to renounce existing,
refusing the crown of meekness,
a life of peaceful days, of a lesser complicity
and accept the glory of vanity...
when feelings of betrail resurge, contesting
the perception of loss beyond credibility?
Does one choose loneliness so voraciously sought,
that retreat from a squalid existence that fate brought
to a secluded place that lacks colors and sounds
allowing horrid darkness to descend upon defeats,
blocking out the brilliance and blighting the thoughts
of a mind in search of solitude and self-awareness?
How pathetic us to turn
into a lurking shadow
to conceal the frown of scorn,
the angry look of hurt...
rejecting soothing comfort,
accepting horrid sorrow!
Do all have the same principles of idiocy
and follow a deceiving voice
swerving them from reason...
does it offer delusions that attempt treason?
How strong is their effect on honesty;
how will it coordinate with their choice?

anxious as hell
crazed and disoriented
horrified to the max
isolated, i must relax
neglected as usual
grieving like a fool
optimism is empty
hopefully i don’t come undone or become hallow inside
shamefully in distress
oh so hopeless, helpless
i need relief
no need for grief
saturated by woe
and
never
ever able to be whole…
aching oh so insane…
oh so insane…
so insane…
insane…
all misery is now down the drain…
refrain from giving me your rain…
PlEaSe…
Thx

>b>and this bizarre possibility
what does the future present to us?
we can break calendars,
I thought.
shedding skin like snakes,
we can shine dark
lighting up the chromosomes that we are.
we can create our avatars,
surpass ourselves,
become the effigies that will replace us
containing the courage we lost
when we shamefully weaken,
when we definitely walked away
of what we could become
when we accept to be
merely the humans we are
