A Gun For a Gain

 A GuN FoR A GAIN

I have a gun to stun ambitiously armed
Aimed at my success

My possession to access  
The  hidden treasure to my pleasure
Given to me without measure

All I need is composure less pressure 
More confidence to show case my talent at present

The issue is very pertinent to my contribution in society and the world at large

I acknowledge the challenge is huge 

But winners don't quit 
Am fit and able 
My mind is credible 

Available for the battle
My epistle is my pistol
A tool i possess a weapon I never knew I had

Sad, almost suppressed but now revived and aiming so high

The target is clear I will give it a shot

In short , to write a book
Announcing my presence for the audience of every generation

That is my intention as I raise my hands to the heavens in supplication

For a mind so powerful and handful  

Lord thank you for this mind so sound 

I will use it to explore and implore the world to the awesomeness of your goodness

Your greatness is overwhelming 
Welcoming at all times 
In all terms

I will walk the talk as I speak your words  of greatness in gratitude to your work in my life!
Given onto me without a fee

Fill me with humility as i climb the ladder without a shudder to my achievement 

Now and forever!

Hard Knock Life

HARD KNOCK LIFE

Today thoughts are uncontrollably flying in my head
Pounding as they crush land 

And they are all in assortment
Not a single one is an entertainment
 
Ringing like a patient on some strong drug 
As I lay on my old rag

I have got to get out and be free
Can I go with this thought from these many thoughts of craziness 

Indulging to have me have ecstasy on crack
Trust me, I can easily get a pack

Don't judge me nor should you judge anyone
We all have been here
Trapped and in fear

In a house whose windows are shuttered 
Doors tattered

Vulnerable 
No hope for tomorrow 
It's a hard knock life 
Always pushing this wheel barrow 
For a penny to heal my hunger

Am I exaggerating when I say things are hard and am hard hit 
My pit has never been this darkest 
Worse still deepest!

Anger

Anger

I will use the computer language to control alt delete
I will halt to contain you
I will walk away to give way

I will reflect to refresh
An excellent choice 
From a voice of sense
Supporting a cause 
In bringing peace 
For all to rejoice

To this justice adjudicated by the inner jury of a clear conscious 
 
From what could have been  to what might have resulted

From a fast reaction on the spur of the moment

To engage and indulge
Acting on raw emotions and hormones raging viciously like a wronged tiger

Charging for a prey with its ever sharp claws like a dagger 
Triggered by anger
Well, better to remain on the floor like a Beggar

Than let a loose tongue twist and eject

Hold still and reject the push to spew  the rot
Of misery,regret and torment of never ending questions

What have I done 
Why did I do it
Be alert to tame the beast of fists of no conscious but of only pomp 

Tap in the knowledge and wisdom of calmness 
To avoid foolishness
Above fairness

As for me I will hold still 
To feel the elite control alt delete and halt the fight..

My First Love

My First Love

I saw a caterpillar 
 Immediately thought could be it's pillar

Though was not easy to pick from the green environment 

The camouflage was way too concealing 
A complete tender twig in its freshness

Colourful at close range 
Clear in the window of my eyes
Dazzling dots of rainbow 
A beauty and total awe at eye sight

She completely caught my attention 
I became motionless,
Speechless 
Yet my heart picked up a rhythm 
A lure irresistible to every inner living

I had to pick it i knew a butterfly would result
Sweetness would engulf and the future would be bright

And so the long adventurous walk took off
So locked into each other 
Oblivious in everything of anything 
Only the two of us existed 

We were both young 
Sweet memories with such luminaries 
She is now a woman 
And I a man...

Life of Existing

A LIFE OF ExISTING

I wake up to sleep
I sleep to wake up
I am seeing I will also be seen
Interestingly we eat to live
We are alive cause we have eaten
Am at work but will soon be home
Am home but will be back at work

Friends I will mingle with
Friends will we part
Friends will we meet again
Fights of no gain will be there 
Fights will go and we will return to   Communication 
Do you see any thing strange? 

Ain't we all in a big circle 
Round we go 
Round do we get back

To that pillow of rest
 And flat we transition 
Whether temporal or permanent 
The familiarity is the same

Why should I settle
They say it's better to resemble
But I can't just be ok
With an ending so clique
I want to wake up to sleep too but also experience the difference of both

To have it all or fail in the end
There has to be a way out there to defy the circle...
There has to be meaning or this is all for nothing...

Drifted

DRIFTED

Handsome embroidered with biceps every woman's heart would melt and fonder
A gentleman to every woman's needs
For him it was her
His love had come along

Her subtle colour ever so attractive and lovable 
Her mind was at work 
A brew so vicious that the pot would tilt and put the fire off

Not in a million would he imagine it
Was that colour for love or  a chameleon on defense? 
To him love was obvious

An echo of their love was in every situation at every rendezvous 

Defined at a world fair
And it sprung well in spring in a sweet affair 

His eyes were fixated at this butterfly,his heart's only delight

Not with her,hesitation had started creeping in to every meet of their fun 
Since when did her heart not leap at his call of meet?

Appalled at what was before him and in his world of peace
This was totally foreign to him
 She went flat and cold
She couldn't even accept his hold

He was patient she was persistent 
She deliberately made herself unlikeable
She seemed happy not to be reachable 

His world is shutting the door on him
With no shred of remorse 
To this deep wound he has to nurse
The butterfly has flown 
And now he is alone...

Debt

DEBT

Slowly creeping up 
Under my watch not a single hair follicle jumped

A beautiful leopard at a distance 
And I lost in the moment
Birds flipping their wings
As though applauding to this cause
Yet evident are the rings under my eyes
Bags of horror and misery
One perhaps would say unnecessary 

 My priorities were blinded totally misplaced 
Now am in it, am seriously in for it

See I didn't plan to get here
I work hard to not get here
Hell I work extra to not be here 
But somehow it all led me here and yes I mean the hard work, the hustle the getting ahead

That which I saw was far from beauty 
Now Its clear that was a sting under my skin

And now this thing is with me  all the time
Am under it, it's around me
A shadow never seeming to leave me
A shake never drying my fur

How now can I escape this air that I created 
It was a place of fun once,
The spending, the smiles
I was there 
But now am here 
Curtains are down
I can't pay it back
Not on my own
A monster I can't feed 
Too much for me to service
