ECHOES OF FEAR
Dreams of greatness awakens you
waking up from the old wooden chair
seeing a future, brighter than light
present situations bring you to a reality
a reality that discourages your ability
present conditions that undermines your will
questioning your strength in despair
Thoughts of greatness in bondage of fear
fear that suppresses a lion to a deer
the greatest failure of courage and bravery
null frightment of virtual uncertainty
this fearsome reality,
that puts your back against the wall
that unbuckles your shoes against the race
that cuts your wings against the flight
that weighs you down against the leap of might
Discouraging voices in their ears
whispering sounds in the wind
rusty leaves on uneven paths
all sending messages of fear
repeatedly there's a voice in the wind
strange voices worthy of silence
to prevent the coming pestilence
and eliminate anger and voilence
fearful words like poisonous seeds
being implanted in their insecure minds
creating enmity with fruitful prosperity
Just when will they realise,
the impending danger of fear
that creates a mentality of obscurity
that causes the fall of a great man
that turns the back of a great warrior,
against the tragic warfront.
O, what a man of fear like Job
the imminent fear of the unknown
creeping in destructively like a silent serpent
destroying all it came in contact with,
destroying silently in a loud way.
what impact does fear have?
if nullified by well secured minds
secured in wisdom of the word of God and power
only if man can just see the impending danger of fear,
that acts as a trap to catch the soaring eagle
creating temptations and unwise decisions
wrong thoughts on right realities
bad impressions on wicked minds
awaken!! man of war....become fearless to the battle
fear kills the self esteem of the great man
which makes him see a mere mortal continually
creating impossibility in strong possibilities
eliminating courage and bravery
finally, as it should always be
when the mighty giant in man is awaken
by the word of God,
he sees his impossibilities possible.
his strengths regained all over again
like he never fell to the damned pit of fear.

Olaleye Ademola Poem
GUILT
Worry less young days
Responsibilities never stays
I acted based on impulse
I cried based on emotions
And I raged based on the fury.
A child needed no jury
The walk ways were her playground
The tin cans were her new pots
Little sticks were her new hands
I grew in style and modesty
In beauty and stature
Became aware of nature
And was told of honesty
Had a young attraction
I loved a boy my age
Just in our relationship stage
It felt right we loved it
I grew in knowledge of God
Realized his undying love
Sins revealed, my eyes were open
This is a sin, that shouldn't be....
Yet I held on to the love
My unusual young love
"This is a sin" father said
"This is iniquity" spirit said
"This is unclean" son said
I was guilty
I knew then....
I wanted the feeling of him around
I wanted the memories of him ajar
It's a sin afar
It's not at hand
I need him around
Do you understand
I knew it was wrong
It couldn't be right
I thought too much
My chest was tight
If only...
With this guilt of mine.
DEDICATED TO: (THE BELOVED)

Project Cadmus
Indemnity and precisions We ride sequences and believe in guilt We hide behind lies and live in pretence Faking possible events and denying the reality
Is there a man among you? A man of faith, strength and prejudice A man of truth, justice and freedom The questions asked from ages to ages
The lies told, established and recorded Children learning to live a terrible life The quest for truth never finds a worthy response All growing to lie in deception like the elders
An age in time is prophesied The Cadmus of our time A branch of truth sprouting.... From the trunks of evil, it arises... A new age in time awaken The joy of all generations
It’s time to arise Cadmus prime ‘’Show unto men the truth of thy lips’’ The change we prefer The light that we seek in darkness And the sight in our blindness Our very own deliverance and the truth we need
