Youthful Tonic

Time can't be forever hard
Don't think too much young lad,

Improving on oneself isn't bad
Secure a future like you're its guard,
Don't gamble it playing cards.

Dangote's of tomorrow are working
Hard now
Do same, so tomorrow you don't 
Look at them as cash cows,

Never let hard times make you bow
Time to do yourself good is now.

I know you envy the rich,
Do your homework, 
It isn't beyond your reach. 

Life isn't smooth, she could hitch,
Avoid  peer pressure or
Meet yourself in deep ditch.

Beauty of the Night

Its the wee hours
Sleep chose not to come early
Time to have a drink with nature

A beautiful dark night it is
I smile at the sky
It grins back
With beautiful bright stars

Cool breeze caresses my body
Pacific silence fills the air

Peace from within
A feeling close to none

Joyful whispers of the trees
Howls of the sea
Euphony to my ears

Truly,
Nature is beautiful.

In Sane

Rumbles of a mad man

Can only be understood by another

Crumbs of a loaf

The world is tearing apart

Humans killing humans

Humans are now carnivores

Chewing off each other's flesh as a meal

Homosexuals on rampage

Men sleeping with men

Female superiority clamours

Religious leaders justify sins

Governments run on lies

Life mates being picked

By how chiseled you look

Not by ambition

Family has no value

Every relationship is a business

Deception is the order of the day

Betrayal is a norm

Loyalty is expensive

Even the rich can't afford

Money changes everything

Even identities

Bi-polar people

Animals are the new humans

What is the world turning to?
