For You

My love for you is like the morning dew. You are my daylight made for daytime,
My moonlight for night.
The reason I breathe.
You bring out the best in me.
I have traveled North,South.
Unraveled East,West.
Amongst all, you are the best.
I refuse others in lieu of you.
Needless to say, I sail no more.
For you, Angelique, i am weak.

Africa is rich in culture.
Blessed by nature.
I am proud to be African.

We Strive to achieve.

Solidarity Forever :Our Rights, Our Lives

O-n this day in history, electorate gave the
    mandate.
L-ords of that time annulled an election,
    an unfair decision to the citizenry, a
    decision without a reason.
A-nnulment it was, that was the worst
J-uggernauts!, were they? who were?
 I-ntention in doing that was in fact
     opposed
D reams were shattered, some were
     battered, alas, others passed on
E-mphasis on the  struggle for
     Democracy is paramount, and one can
     not overemphasise the importance.
     
O-verjoyed, to hear the announcement
R emembrance at last, honours deserved
I-n my time, some critics of politics are
     alarmed by the honours: honours long
     overdue
A-ccolades: finally given, accolades
     deserved
M-artyr:  A Martyr is reborn 
I-s Mediocrity in our Democracy over and 
     can we empower Democracy to
     overpower Mediocrity and sustain
     Democracy.?
S-olidarity is forever, our rights, our lives
E-mbrace our dreams, we breathe


Happy 
Democracy 
Day

A Nation In Distress

A Nation in distress, 
Our Land is in distress 
Father deliver the Nation

Within

The taste of your areola,the feel of your kiss,your moist,warm, beautiful within... 
i long to taste your world, feel the warmth always within.. 
Aphrodite, let me taste from the juice as it drips down from your endowed within, 
i crave for this when I look into your eyes and when I do i see the flame of desire in them. Flame that don't seem to die. 
Within is where I long to be..

When a Man Is Born

A man is born when he had held the bull by the horns, faced his fears, strived in the journey through life as he faced his challenges and fears and overcame the challenges and fears.Then he becomes a man because he overcame.

I'M Me

I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me

A multi faceted being is me
That I have become
Come closer, you will see all in me
Tis what others see
Most they see is inborn in me
This is me, a peculiar being 


He made me so 
In me it flows
In me He flows
He told me so 
Be told I am that being, I am me

Learn from me as I did from him
He sent him to me so that I can be me
Let me mentor you 
He mentored me

Now you can see how I became me 
He made us same
Different and unique we are
In our different ways
Learn and build you
You can be a better you
But,You can never be me for I'm me

I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me

I am me
I can only be me 
I am me
Be a better you
I am a better me
Because I am me.
I saw in me long before I became me.

I saw through the eyes of who followed me
And if not for them I couldn't have been me
In what they saw in me because sometimes before now I saw me as a waste
But now I bow in respect for them because they brought it back into me
That I'm me, and I can only bring out the best in me when I'm me

I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me

If he can't see by now
Then he can never see I'm me and bow
Because I'm proud that that I am me
Tis me against the world

I am me
I am me
I am me
But he doesn't know me
Although close to me

Oh what a shame, that you were held so close
But did not know me like others did
Not sorry, I'm me and can only be me.
You can't be me, I am me.
