Christmas

In anyone’s discussion
You might hear about a mission
That came to pass because of Gods decision
And through Gods permission
One comes to the realization
That Jesus is the reason 
For this spectacular season
       B:
So let us all not waste the opportunity
To serve and celebrate in unity
And fulfill our destiny
We can be like the celebrity
Known in every society
Aspiring to be Gods major priority
Like Jesus the reason for this season

I Hate That I Missed It

I got the most wanted invitation
It’s organized by a bad collaboration
Would be fun by every indication
Now to think of that fabrication
That would get me there with no implication
To that plan, I will give my whole dedication
          B:
Halt! What was that insinuation?
Dad even made a buttressing contribution
I will still not give up in this new occupation
It will have to pass through sound evaluation
At all costs I need to get to that destination
By every power possibly even divination
         C:
Oh! The sorrow is like constipation
Against all my careful stipulation
I only needed to heed their conversation
Now I can only sit here in retribution
Awaiting news of others inhibition
My own attendance has already reached its conclusion

Take Me There

I need your answers Lord 
Help me cross the road God
Take me to that next level
So I would not be a rebel
Design my fate
I really need you to help my faith
Please take me 
In your endless mercy
To that place you want me to be.

Guilty

I went out, when it was very dark
To search the area for any toad
And there it was sitting there like a child in a park
Oblivious to the terrible cold
I must have seemed like a shark
As it slept, when suddenly I pounced
       B;
I kept it for just a day
But I know forever in my heart it will stay
Now because of me, no more will it play
In my own defense I have nothing to say
Because I know on all accounts 
I am so very guilty
Of that beautiful toads death
       C:
I sat there by myself, in peace as I am known
Behind a rock, I now know as my own
Then suddenly I found myself captured
I could see the outside world but my movements restricted
For such a long while I was thus encumbered
It was such a sorry day and I was so scared
Then suddenly I felt a blow, terrible pain
Blackness
The human was guilty!

Humanity

Your abundant display of floccinaucinihilipilification
Has been established from the time of conception
Like a rotten fruit shaken to its kinetic destination 
Is this not what the world expects from this generation?

Beaten into submission by the depreciation of individuality
We have conformed to the ‘it’s all about me’ mantra of impartiality
Boldly pusillanimous which enhances our real appearance of frailty
Covered up by the tinseled boulder of youthfully exuberant gaity

Just like the Quakers decided we were the ignorant ideal in their initial determinism
Then soon conveniently revised it in keeping with exhibition of popular barbarianism
You and I have been fickle in our choice which has down played truth of expressionism
Being on the fence has undermined our value; oh if only we embraced humanitarianism

These Female Words

These words keep roaring in the silence
 You could hear the drop of a pin
 These words capture me like a camera lens 
‘LIKE THE SKIN YOU ARE IN’

These words have been ringing in my ears;
 For years they have been the cry of all +-men,
 Sometimes it still feels like no one really cares:
‘PROMOTE DIVERSITY IN REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN’

These words should be given media clearance
 Shown on screen and in every book chapter
‘LESS FOCUS ON PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
 AND MORE FOCUS ON CHARACTER’

These words should become a chant
 Like evidence of a miracle that had been prayed
 Not like a dogs tired whimper or tired pant
‘MORE HONESTY IN THE WAY WOMEN ARE POTRAYED’

I am guilty of this due to my socialization
 I have no excuses now due to my education
 I was once a victim and made others a victim
 I join the voices that repeat these words
‘WOMEN ARE INTELLIGENT’
 ‘WOMEN SHOULD BE EDUCATED’
 ‘WOMEN ARE SELF-ASSURED, DIVERSE, STRONG’
I join the voices that repeat these words
‘BE CONFIDENT’
 ‘BE WHO YOU ARE- NOT WHO SOCIETY TELLS YOU TO BE’

(Citations from Patricia Gentile's study (2007): Popular Culture and Female Sexuality: Concuming the 'Representations'. Published by: Media Action Media).

Jumble

Sometimes we wonder how he could have killed himself
Other times we understand and admire his courage
Feelings not worn on our faces, mind and heart a shelf
Listen to the words of unsaid message
To die is gain the dreaded menace, mortality and yet welcomed
The world is in turmoil, humanity is a contradiction
When will the penetration of light help efficient diction
Away! away! come! come! 
Voices echo in our heads

Sleepless nights turning in our beds
We understand today, tomorrow is a mess of rubbish
The application of oxymoron, bitter sweet
Now only this makes sense to me, does it to you?
Let us still carry our light with life on our backs
Both my only reason for living. Let the light shine
I try to read my manual but it's comprehended
 and misunderstood
Where is the light? where is the darkness?

Reward for diligently seeking is it this unknowing 
Filled with spacious confused wisdom
Carry on! end! continue! finish!
I look to you in this Jumble God
Only your light can guide out of it 
I will wait as long as it takes
You will be with me always even till the end of time
You promised.

My Teacher

I'v had so many teachers from whom 
i'm blessed
I cannot say a human is my best
But one i really must showcase
My teacher makes me feel like i'm 
reserving my best
Encourages me to pull out that part i 
hide deep down
Unknown to most he can be a clown
Although he seems very much like a 
stern headmaster
With his trousers held up on his belly
And his outrageously big glasses
I dread the day we'll part 
For this teacher there will always be a 
place in my heart.

I Love You

I am in love with you!
However I have no idea who I’m talking to
You could be a toad
With light brown skin laying under a rock in the harsh cold
Flowers embed in garden
Yellow petals causing any heart to appreciate and unharden
A touching sentence
That quickens my insides initiating feeling of heightened ease
Sport that energizes
And makes me feel human stimulated push like winning prizes
Characters on stage
Enabling enjoyment of the fictional unfold outside my life cage
Literature that can emerse 
Taking me on adventure that can’t occur in reality of my verse
Jesus that still cares
Though I doubt and forget tricked into thinking he gives like others
True love has been tinseled, overrated and sugarcoated so its true form I don’t know
I am a novice; will gladly remain so, rather than partake in the artifice of human show.

You Are So Dear 11

Calm, comforting, cool as a hairy mountain 
prominent for all to see
A mysterious mix of character, simplicity 
and yet complex is he
Easy going brillance not forced as its 
enhanced smoothly as can be
Friendly to the old and young a beacon so 
bright
Surprising in his manner especially in jokes 
unexpected
Comforting a presence an artist so 
unrelenting
A force sorrow, sadness and sillyness 
repelling 
Even in name likened to honey
Friend and brother Oyin
