GREY
GREY.
"Life is not black or white; it is the agony of grey."
“I can’t do this”, she said. With an unveiling frown,
“I can’t deal with all this” but the treasons were filled with all her absurd,
The voice that used to occupy my crown,
Now echoes with these ‘final words’,
Those silent whispers are now haunted by the

Unveiling My Heart
I sribble yet another one
No hopes, you'll read
Emotions, I'll weave
A Heart filled with dread
Enchanting is your smile
I wish I were the reason
I know I'm confusing
Be honest with me, for a while
Sick of the burden I carry
Feelings, compressed
Each verse is meant for you
Desires, my heart pressed
If not me, then someone else
I'll still wish

PONDER AND WONDER
Christ said
Judge and condemn not
But people do too much
For us to remain silent
The truth is hard to say
It's also hard to swallow.
Now ponder
You might wonder
Your perception
A reflection of you
Do you know the meaning of life?
Everyone with different story or meaning
I guess none knows the meaning of life.
What are

THE UNVEILING OF A LIE
Making up a story
And telling a story
Is two different things
Making up a dream
And telling a dream
Is two different things
Choose your words wisely,
There are times to play with words
There are times to tell the truth
Is this discrimination?
There are times to play the fool
There are times to be the fool
Is this unfair?
Play your cards right,
Telling a story
And

UNVEILING THE VEIL OF INJUSTICE
Injustice, a tale as old as time,
Echoes through the ages, a perpetual crime.
From Amos' scriptural cry to traditional Ifa's call,
The holy Quran and Bible, too, denounce injustice's thrall.
Yet, why do people struggle to uphold what's right?
The wealthy steal millions, but negotiate their plight.
No punishment, no sentence, just a slap on the wrist,
While the poor, with

Unveiling Potential
The child, a budding blossom
with potentials yet unfold
Never out of sight
like a rare gemstone
giving a whisper of hope
With laughter and innocence
She explores freedom
In the midst of little souls
with innocent minds exploring
the world of friendship
Her beauty glowed
like the lilies in it's full bloom
Engrossed in the joy
playing out in the

Unveiling skeletons in the closet of forbidden truth
Forgive me as I compose this remorseful apology
An admission of my egotistical individuality
Realization of how I've accustomed to being a Ticking time bomb impulsively leaking noxious fumes
Unintentionally forcing you to inhale and endure my venomous pollution;
But Innocence I had plead with evidence justifying unforseen indescribable affinity
Unintentionally passionately
To what i defined a Fragile

Unveiling the Many Me
Give me the U who dances in the rain,
The U with sunshine in your laugh, a heart that can't be chained.
The U with dreams that shimmer, goals that take flight,
The U who stumbles sometimes, but picks yourself up with all your might.
Give me the U who craves quiet moments, lost in a

Unveiling Our Myths
Muffled voices in clouded corridors,
where legends mold the unseen,
drifting through thoughts like specters
bestowing authority upon the mysterious.
In politics, a performance:
marionettes on a dream-filled platform,
ballots cast for favor
lies woven with words
strands of optimism and dread
woven in imperceptible restraints.
Religion, with its narratives,
deities and monsters depicted in faith
comfort sought in fables

Unveiling the Beautiful Heart of Teaching
In the classroom's tender, gentle embrace,
A symphony of virtues finds its place.
A teacher's heart, a radiant hue,
Infused with philosophies bright and true.
Arousing the mind with Rousseau's art,
She nurtures each soul, with a caring heart.
Montessori's embrace, a holistic weave,
Balances talents, for all to achieve.
Progressivism pulses within her care,
Dewey's hands-on teachings are everywhere.
With each problem solved and

Prologue 9 The Unveiling
Gus was confused as soon as he said it.
"That was me, but it wasn't, I mean", he stammered,
"I said it, but it wasn't from my mind!"
Penney looked at Gus and reasoned,
"that is a message, you barnacle brain!"
She continued, because she HAD to.
"The spirits need our

Unveiling Void
Vibrating light
Creating sound
Resisting LOVE
When TRUTH is found
Resilient music
Bouncing the rafters
Building sandcastle dreams
In Happily Ever Afters
Mourning the loss
Of passing Earth
Clinging tight
To the afterbirth
Process is unyielding
As breathe comes to life
The cord of uncertainty
Breaks the firing ice
No line in unity
Every work complete
As TRUTH is unveiled
Washing Salvation’s feet

In a world where illusions often deceive,
Genuine love springs as a jewel to retrieve.
A tale implicit, a sumptuous symphony divine,
Where souls entwine, true love will shine.

Unveiling the Inner Fire
Unveiling the Inner Fire
______________________________________________________________
I’m looking, and I’m thinking; my mind is alive.
Less talking, beyond moving—I'm ready to strive.
Time beckons and it whispers, "Be serious, my dear,
As you used to be, back when aloofness held you near."
I shake off the cloak of FOMO and syndrome.
No longer an imposter, it's time to come home.
To the fire that

From Stone To Masterpiece: the Unveiling of Pain
In life's dance, I stumble and sway, Fallen low, I find strength to defy,
With soaring spirit, I embrace the skies,
Yet, higher I climb, harder I may sway.
In the face of life's trials, I find my way, Defying gravity, I rise every day,
With resilience as my guiding light,
I conquer challenges and take flight.
Amidst the fall, my
