Timipre Brifini Poem
My phone rang and it was my
lover calling.
How am i to know,
It was to talk of an empire's
falling.
I raised my eye brow,
With a face full of smiling,
Not knowing it was my judas
cock crow..
She hid a secret she now
declares,
That she was to be another's
wife.
She said "take care,"
But she was the love of my life.
Now I had to take note and be
aware.
Before I become the deadly
victim of love's strafe.
Clothed with the purple blossom
of judas tree.
Now I finally realise,
That she had been telling me
lies.
Of how we will be lovers until
she dies
My eyes can see clearly,how
time flies
How time exposes the truth like
fire flies
All these,I see with my eyes.
What crimes have I committed?
To be rewarded with betrayal.
From her heart,my memories
she evicted.
Oh no!what caused her to be so
disloyal
A new groom her heart elected.
Going through the summer
times,
With my friends all around,
Asking for my crimes,
My only crime was loving a
damsel in distress.
For her I write these lines
Because after she left
I found my gold mines.

Timipre Brifini Poem
I hear people talking of hunger
The masses getting poorer
Politicians looting beacause they
got the power
Will the change come from the
future leader?
Daily falling standard of
education
To get employed now needs
connection
If you protest you end up in
detention.
What is the hope of our
Nation?
Are we still the leaders of
tomorrow?
But now they want us to walk in
their shadow
All we left with is the marrow
Are they really unstoppable from
causing sorrow?
When I look through the mirror
All I see is the hope for the
future
You can look through the mirror
You can be the hero and never
a failure.

Timipre Brifini Poem
Chibok!
O tear drop at Chibok streets of
chibok,
Filled with sad memories.
Estranged families,full of fear.
Sad people,from my eyes dropped
A tear drop.
Memories of our children,
Stolen to be sold.
A story of terror which is true and
left untold.
What will stop the terror,when in
our custody the chief of staff we
hold.
Mindless politics
An unaltruisic mechnic.
Please we need our children.
Forget ambitions and make their
search emphatic.

Timipre Brifini Poem
To utilize this is our life's
responsibility
For in disguise opposition an
opportunity
This is a chance to prove our
ability
Of what use could be storms
impunity
It cannot create a sail to
celebrity
No fact has the human race
accepted
No law has it established
Unless it can be understood
and measured
And the social intergrity
quantified
So does the leader of such
race be qualified
At home being a stranger! Not
us
Homecoming fun,not nervous
Would not dare call the
inhabitant monstrous
Feeling a love and welcome
surplus
Memory of home in my heart I
can't minus
Leadership not left to
aristocracy
Politics an unending conspiracy
Of a mans eccentricity
Evolved into an age of
democracy
What is the reward of this
legacy
When in diligence a man seat
He sweeps kings off their feet
Not over you,not over
me,never forget
The shadow does not take
sway yet
For power no more a secret

Timipre Brifini Poem
Memories of home,
Drawn from a thousand miles.
Childhood candor,
Reminds me of how time flies.
Sweet memories clothed in
splendor,
Ambition!! A friend not allowed to
by pass.
I just want to hold you
Beautiful memories.
I just want to view,
Those beautiful landscapes.
I just want to see,
Beautiful smiles.
I can see the birds,
Singing sweet melody.
A lovely sight to view.
Nature and man in harmony.
A new painting we drew,
How can I forget,
such a beautiful sight.
Am so busy,
Facing the worries of life.
But I still remember my teenage
life.
During the summer time,
To be with people you love,
Was always a fun time to be.
Me and you together,
Chatting through the night,
How we laugh and also fight,
Till the dawn of the light.
Beautiful memories
Was when we were alive.
Beautiful thoughts
Was when we love.
Beautiful smiles,
Was when we shared
Our time,love and happiness.
With the beautiful people around.
Beautiful friends and family.
This brings "beautiful smiles and
memories."

Timipre Brifini Poem
Like the morning glow
My joy was mirrored.
Swayed in the tree's songs.
With fading light shadow.
I watched the evening grow.
When the storms came,
With so much confusion.
In my head I could feel the heat of
fusion.
It used to be a game of love and
passion.
Now shattered to wacke was my
emotion.
As loud as the waves,
That echoed in the caves.
I can hear the cracks,
So painful was the aches.

Timipre Brifini Poem
I can see the sun shine on
flowers
Can't stop asking myself what is
power?
Is it the sun?the foresight of the
future?
The ability to feel the beauty of
nature
The control over our fellow
creatures
The fear of the creator
The ability to undestand our
mentor
To develope and to draw life's
contour
Oh! To be a political actor
For all these,wisdom is the
Motto.
Alas,how can I see her
Wisdom I seek but can't find
bear
Knowledge they say if you listen
you'll hear
How much can I listen when
understanding I desire
Can I apply wisdom and get
power?
The source of power is the
creator of solar
A life without flowers is no life
at all
Wisdom a precious flower in
love I fell
The foresight and the future
only God foretells
The knowledge of the creator is
real power I tell.

Timipre Brifini Poem
A man not righteous,
Neither a sinner he be!
Tricked by fate
But would never accept defeat.
Started life's voyage late
But owns a ship fleet.
How can we say
Ambition and its proceeds be!
Why ask of this date
When in history, today will repeat
Man's deeds how do we rate
Only success the world greets.
The world rejected even God's son.
Who after death glowed like the
rising sun.
I do recall of how stars fall,
Have they no regard for all?
Even hungry and needy they feed
This I do recall.
Life a mystery.
From hard work and mastery.
In some cases avoidance of merry.
Many made history
This also is void and vanity.
