I Love My Nation

I LOVE MY NATION
How did we forget to 
vote the best without 
urest ?
We shall all rise
changing our mindset.
With the best ,we ar at
rest.
I love my nation
let's start
the motion.
Our dear love for our
nation.
Shouldnot give us the
notion.
That it is do or die for 
the
position.
History will tell
when we cannot defend,
the problem we caused.
I love my nation in all
position.
I love my country
My dream will come true.
Parade my terrotory
To build factories.
Then,we can laugh 
without
resisting.
Oh lord,give us the 
victory.
The one that gives a 
sense
of belonging.
Without restriction in all
direction.
I love my nation,in all
direction.
Democracy our leaders
shout
In craziness,they all 
shine.
They are cancerworms
taking us down.
Downtrodden,they are
forgetting,
giving no damn.
Possibility turning
impossibility is taking us
down.
Corruptocracy in place 
of
democracy
moving round town.
I love my nation,without
commotion.

Enemies

In this world where
everybody
appears as a friend and
those who
sourround you are 
enemies veiled
by laughter as they 
embark on ruinous coup.

Mouths you feed in 
agony with 
grainsfrom your sweat 
attempt to cut 
your humanitarian 
fingers which 
provides them food 'not 
laboured for.

And Friends collapse 
image you
built with bricks of
hardwork,
sands of dedication and
pebbles of faithfulnes.
Whom then do you 
trust?
won't trusts fade, when 
kins you manage to put 
pot on their starving 
stove
never stop to say you 
are ''irresponsible'' ?

The knife you sharpen
sees nobody to injure
except the hand that
brighten its stars
do you still have to help
that sinking dog
since it doesn't stops
barking at you ?

Actions are not fully
rewarded by man
except you want to
exchange ocean
for a drop of water.
But by God, a drop for 
an ocean.

Why then do you want 
to stop been good? 
Because your reward 
resides with 
the creator.And when 
enemies 
fails to appreciate
your Lord  
compensiates.

Insatiable Are Desires

INSATIABLE ARE 
DESIRES 
Satisfactions,all in his 
obsessions. If all 
desires are not granted 
as wished. Man keeps 
to street,unkempt and 
disgruntled.... Forgetting 
patience does it all... 
Nothing bad comes from 
patience,if you know... 
Nobody complains 
without been granted, 
wish -your God will do 
in haste...  Demanded so 
much blessings Like him 
that wants chieftancy 
from heaven Accepted 
fate not,when not 
given.. just as if all 
should be in his 
haven... Cried for 
desires,wants ,and 
prayed all night. soaked 
in mundane affairs like 
blanket in river..  If all 
desires are met. Of 
what benefit is prayer? 
If all stones are turned 
by mere look,man 
needs no hand..  If all 
prayers are 
answered,what function 
it brings, the car he 
longed for, which killed 
him.?  Joy as he wants. 
Blessings as he 
demands, Fortune as 
he prays for. If all 
given,  man must still 
demands. Insatiable are 
desires
