Shun Ethnic Jargon

In a kingdom afar
Dispute broke out and transfer
Through the land like wild fire
Then came an old man with eyes of sapphire
With wisdom that equals that of Solomon
Without delay he summoned the powerful, high and common
 
First to arrive was the Head, Hand and Leg tribe
Then came came Belly and Heart tribe holding plaque, war inscribe
 
"Your strength is in your diversity,"
Thus speaks the wise old man
"There has to sincerity 
To coexist in this blessed clan"
 
The head Tribe grumbled and boast
"We play the best role so we deserve the biggest share,
Without my brothers mouth, brain, eyes  and nose the tribe is unquestionably lost,
So if we ask for more it is thus fare"
 
"Nonse" Shouted the Hand 
With a thundering Clap
 
"Unbelievable" barked the Leg clan
With a quaking stamp  
 
"Selfish" belowed the Heart tribe
With a forceful pump
 
"Thats appropriate heart" screamed the Belly Clan
 With a rumbling yup
 
Amidst the uproar
The old man voice's soar
Calming The Fury
That blinded their reasoning in a hurry
 
"Great men without vision,
Thy strength is in thy cohesion
A race without its head,
Associates with the dead
A tribe without its hands,
will only lag behind
A clan without its legs,
its first choice is to beg
A tribe without is heart,
Cease to enjoy breath
Its our belly that stores the taste of life,
From its bank we gather strength to laugh
A nation in turmoil,
Is never free from boil"
 
So the wise man verbalize
While they sat and gaze
 
"All leaders of all tribe
Hide not under ethnic patronage
For your show of intrest is only gibe
The cause of this strife is the result of your pillage
 
Inhibit your greedy bowels for a year
See if grasses won't grow in this desert
But I know what you all fear
That the commoners will get wiser if they have a sniff of your dessert
 
Which man will you spear that will not bleed?
Can a lamb  survive in the mist of wolves?
This nation is in discord cause of your deeds
Your children are in  safe haven while others in ignorance lose their lives
 
For the sake Of unity show patriotism
Shun ethnic jargon and favoritism
Uphold Justice
This land will know peace"

I Need You, Not the Phone

The sound of your voice uplift my soul
Deep inside I wish for your embrace
I burn with passion anytime I hear your voice
Without you, my life is void of grace

When am alone I’m seeing you stare
Though you are far away your eyes are there
Watching over me like angels do
I close my eyes without ado 

I pray everyday to see your face
Your voice alone can’t close this case
The sweet memories of us I feed on are running out
 Please show your face before I burnout

This is the last time I will answer the phone
I need to hold you and not the telephone
I miss you, please come back home
Tomorrow when the door bell rings 
In your embrace alone I wish to find my self

The Choice Is Yours

The end is near 
Though many do not fear 
Only few keep watch
With his name they keep in touch

Some have eyes and do not see
Living in iniquity they believe is to be free
The wise keeps the word
To flee the sword

Crux of the matter is life or death
To keep clean or drown in dirt
Be free or be in chains
Eternal joy or forever pains

The choice is yours
As time lingers on

Bedroom Whispers

kay and Claude are lovers
Please enjoy their bedroom whispers

Kay; When you are around my heart overflow with pleasure
Claude; Mine is more than words can explain
Kay; I will always love you 'cause you are my greatest treasure
Claude; All I will ever need to water my garden is your rain
Kay; I never new life could be so colourful
Claude; From the day I met you my world has been blissful
Kay; You alone exist in my world
Claude; Oh..! you black beauty of the wild
Kay: where else can I roam free with you
Claude; I'm covered by your love as the mountains peak covers in dew
Kay; In your embrace I melt Like snow in the sun
Claude; The radiance of your eyes can awoken a dead rose
Kay; Without you this life is void of fun
Claude; I'm in flame
Kay; The passion that burns inside of you is my longing
Claude; Kiss me so we can be free from these yearning
Kay; Can I contain this gratification?
Claude; Your passionate fear is my motivation
Kay; Oh...sshh Claude!
                Lights out.

You Are the Only One

Sitting alone under the moon
A bright sky and glittering stars towers above
Despite these celestial renowned boon
My emptiness hovers like a dove

There has never been another
In a million years you will still hold sway
Your absence has left me in the clouds of thunder
If happiness has many paths I will never search a further way

You are all I know and love
The only setting sun in my sky
Give me another chance to strive
These yearnings of mine are no sly

Without you my life is bare
My desires will lose its glee
Flowers will no longer blossom in my garden
All my dreams and aspiration will flee

You are the only one
In my planet of darkness and light
And it was you once that made the glow shone
Please come back and save me from this plight

I know your heart is not of stone
Nor you love for me sun-bleached like an abandoned garment
Come and see for I’m refine
Please I await your glorious judgment

You are the only one that will ever be

An Angel In Disguise

As I walk through many times
I leant a thing or two
About an Angel called tough times
Which many loathe without a thought

Our world gets better by the day
Because the angel lives
Without its bitter pay
There will be no notion like strive

Whenever it pays a visit
A new dream is always born
Many of such vision has helped mankind to transit
To a glorious dawn

If there was no darkness
Light could never be
Tough times becomes an incurable sickness
Only if you quit


When it comes to your tent
Think positively with patient
And you will be privileged to glimpse
 Its an angel in disguise

A Life Without Love

I knew a boy
He learnt a decoy
Beacuse he was poor
His tactics made him soar
Without help from nobody
With zeal he became somebody
But there was a problem
His lure was no good emblem
He has found someone beautiful
And he feels awful
For his ways are filled with tricks
And he cannot win this with his decoy flicks
True love is gotten with sincerity
He has to lean to be honest to certify his security
So began his long voyage
To sap himself of his sewage
For a life without love
Is like a useless stove

Cocaine

Oh! what a great stain
That it requires a drum of bleach to clean a tiny dot
I think I have to be plain
If you are in it, you are  blot
 
Your intentions was to chase away demon
Its a pity demon invites its likes
Never take an orange and expect the taste of lemon
getaway or your future will be flaked
 
Its name sounds like pain
its deception is a myth that will never go away 
They say you can get high and lofty from cocaine
But the reality is like falling from a stairway
 
Even fame cannot tame its venom
In its part there is no grownup
All its shimmering ideals ends in gloom
And its allure is a clean setup
 
Flee from its illusion
Or end up in desperation
These counsel are no hallucination
But true manifestation of cocaine tradition

Until the End of Time

I have been given a room in heaven
Because an angel loved me
In you eyes I see roses and buttercups interwoven
Without you my life worth’s no dime

In my darkest hour you were my light
When I needed water you created a spring
My mountainous troubles are made slight 
By you’re ceaseless understandings

Your love is my greatest asset 
Without it I’m a Pushover  
I’m made pure by your kisses and zest
Your love is much more than living in clover

I will love you until the end of time
It’s a pledge I will for eternity uphold

Why Unfaithfulness

I have never known this much harmony 
Before you came into my life thunderstorm rocks my world
Your coming was a blissfully welcomed symphony
You brought warmth and chased away cold 

My life became your craft and you performed a heavenly job
Never have I felt so blissful and fulfilled
Many times over excitement made me sob
And I walked head high for being so loved

Could something so divine fade so fast?
Still I refuse to believe this forgotten storm is coming my way
No, you are the one that pursued the past
What is warmth can never make cold to stay

Where did I go wrong my love?
Why unfaithfulness the only means to repay
Please tell me before I dissolve
Into the darkness you once chased away
