We Didn'T Care Nigerian Citizens

The attitude that means great scare
And birth sufferings we couldn't bear 
Thank God he's sick, we pray he lacks care
Centuries of "didn't care" land us in misery we now wear

We didn't care if the well was not well 
"Grant us a token to dine" the town's well is too expensive to make well

We didn't care if farmlands became bushy for we Stood at the mercy of crude that make us fat while slumbering

We didn't care to explore our bounty till crude lost face among peers

We didn't care if our products were messy
white groceries were on spots for cheap barter

We didn't care to snuggle our culture before westernization put us in oceanic soup

Our heritage is unmaintained because we didn't care

We didn't care to say NO till the we are made to have no choice

Public enjoyment in belly of few men because we didn't care

We didn't care from the start now our care means nothing, our tears finds no hope 

We are where we are because WE DIDN'T CARE

Procrastination Is a Disease

Call a spade a spade 
Leave to cut to blade
So to have a better shape

Ears should hear
Take action and beware 

Procrastination's a 
disease
Grab your copy before that only compatible one gets sold
Regret comes when beauty gets old
Life gets aged
As minutes fade

Life's beautiful
Only when it's meaningful
with riches so bountiful 

To enjoy man's enemy....
You just have to call a 
spade a spade 
And leave a waste to 
waste

Worng Trust

One wrong trust
With dagger, my heart got thrust
I died not, but got lost
Become a living ghost

Lost in trust
Enemy playing friend
Banana cloth tossed on my destiny
Wanting my demotion to trend 

Infected me with a flue
Then rifled me to the blue
Birded away with no clue
With nothing than the left shoe

Took refuge at the mountains 
Mountains with healing fountains
Rinsed me to rebirth
Applied my mechanism with gracious grease

Came to mind a song by KSA

" Appreciation modúpé
Oníbú ore, bàbá gb'opé mi"

Tears For Nigeria

Oh I cry for Nigeria!
Revealed sadness from 
Book of enlightenment 
Opened the dam of tears
That floods away joy 

Oh I cry for Nigerians!
Tears crying for freedom
To escape d eyes 
And mobbed by a peppered cloth

Patriot of poverty!
Suffering elites!
Wearing d smile of sadness
Enthralled their greatness 
Crude oil refined to crude suffering

Oh I cry for Nigeria!
Jobbing unemployment 
Receiving salary of calamities

With the roar of great quotes 
Taken to knowledge not wisdom
Theories of revolution
Recited like poetic lines
Like a body with no bones

Noising fake development
Publicising engraved unity
With immeasurable hospitality 
We accommodate the great Boko!
  
Ye Hitlers of Nigeria
Your ploys shall be televised
Your spells shall be broken
Exposing d lies under your garments

Like I always say
" There will come a time
When the blurry would be seen
The dumb would be heard
And joy would coup tears 
To let smile reign"
*Larry Beryl*

Futile Leaders

In crisis we swim
Hunger for education has made us slim
The beauty of dye was washed by rain
From ignorance to ignored we leave by cain
Solidarity of the heart some withstand the pain

Minors relishing nothing from national cake
Yet,stroked to make the the cake bake
D realm of hardship By heart,bounty forsake

Indeed, Man can't swim against the tide
Needn't man run from d defamation of life guide?
We just have to go with the flow
Or take a sudden blow 
For breath in this region is not for the slow 

Quenching thirst with hazardous liquids
Where idle divine water is seeking employment 
Zeal for success has kicked the bucket
Murderers! Daggering dreams of  d young
Resulting to the Death of sale in a 'village' market

Holders of democratic wand!! 
The land remains dry while u fill ur bellies

Remember! Thy breath shall cease indefinitly
And thy soul shall evaporate to be *JAMBED*
And body shall sleep undignified

Breaking Rules For New Rule

Breaking rules to make new rules
Chasing godly minds to fish out moles 
New pals while old were in shit holes
With them in d quarters of my life I make some new goals 

Jumping cliffs that could break ma back
Trekking distances that could get me wack
Swapping my gentility for ruggedness
Oh I sing Aluta while pop washes away
Isn't  ma white turning grey?
A murmur that leads my heart to sway

On a mission which vision was seen
In which yellow leaves would turn back green
And success would wash away my sin

Only patience foes I lost to recall
Would join d crew in d merriment mall 
Those that sees nt would be seen not
That is karma taking it's course just 
  
With the Patience Old and The Destined New........ A new life begins.

Angel of the Odd

Angel of the odd
Made my face savaging in 
mud 
Water of happiness 
gushed from broken 
gourd
Love is giveth,hate then 
defy God 

With Angel Of The Odd
I sit on a cursed love
Emotional spanks finding 
no end
Prospecting a white 
where all is black

Selfishness she claimed of 
me
With a reason of 
unbattered love... 
shouldn't I be?
She pays wit bruises 
deeper than that of flesh
Punches that ache  thy 
heart

Class in synergy wit 
beauty
One wit features of multi
A reason to blind for d 
oddness
And appreciate d being 
of dis goddess

Angel Of The Odd
Bless me with love
A revenge with 
love,honesty and care
already in place

Man is his word
Mouth wears no glove
More dan 365days i set d 
pace

Oh! kneels re weary 
Eyes are swampy
Legs re shaking
Head is aching
Body is withered
Throat is arid 
Only kisses can make it 
watered
But thy HEART still beats 
for u

Angel Of The Odd
Even with d death of thy 
body
My love remains for u and 
nobody

Price of Objectivism

Objectivism has paid a good price
A price of beauty I never dreamed
And fortune that carries no lies
The beacon of happiness has beamed

Ma heart wears a sparkling jewellery
Sparkling my mood for d world to see
Ma food is placed with a perfect cutlery
Dined by Divine for me to have a glee

Chapter of emotional loneliness has ended
The walls of sadness was bridged
The candle of hope was kindled
As She stabbed loneliness I never enjoyed 

Never knew Objectivism could be this lucrative
Paid a life fee for a token job done
A fee that could make life positive
Cos of enjoyment of happiness in d love zone

"You can only love more of a person if it's reciprocated"
*LARRY_BERYL

Heart Robber

Cast away negative tots
They re ntn bt disturbing dots
I'm of great fret
Of what d pregnant u could deliver
I hold hatred for regret
A reason why i'm a believer
I believe u to b a thief
Ma sleeping hrt u stole
U re indeed a perfect gunner
Woke in ur hands bt i'm no runner
Fell in love with ma captor
Ironically spelled!!!!
Finding sweetness in misfortune
It turned around and brings fortune.
MRS HEART ROBBER

Drink To Think

Sip the milk
To have a think
Stop the drink 
To have a link

One tiny flick
Would make u blink
A risk to make ship sink
And Water would take d place of ink 

Black is bad otherwise is pink
With reasoning,solutions might clink
Larry beryl's nt a Fink
He's smooth like a skating Rink

I drank to think
To isolate the stink 
And it yielded a wink
Brain,body and drink had to sync 

A pure drink, A fruitful think
All for me in ma golden zinc
