Abdul Kiawu Poem
Today we celebrate peace
Remembering how it was won
The many hearts that grieve
For freedom is all we want
Salute the national flag Liberians
Sing aloud the Lonestar forever
Sing aloud the national anthem
We are the custodians of Liberia's heritage
Ours is the home of kindness
The land where ships anchor with our forefathers
Once torn apart by ignorance and a tomfoolery war
With hope we strive to rebuild it together
Surviving unrelenting strife
Rainfall of misery on our lives
Alas, ignorance too come with a price
It surmounted patriotism and morality
170 with a little to show
Only our indelible past chanted by the waves of the Pacific
Pausing our heartbeat for the innocents we lost
A sad day when anarchism won for sure
All hail Liberia hail
This glorious land of liberty
Together we sing with plangency
Regardless the impediment we'll prevail

Abdul Kiawu Poem
Immorality conquered the mind of youth
Devil in disguise they called it fun
God's word and devotees consider boring
Motivation from insanity
A generation living on the knife-edge of reality and a twisted fantasy
Choosing visionless minds their leaders
Brainwashed by a society of advertent incorrectness
Pornography an entertainment for teenagers
Prison the home of future leaders
Drug abuse and illicit sex the prerequisite for street credibility
Talents and creative minds extinct by narcotic
Non-inspirational music of crime and violence surmount the beauty of poetry
Curse by Freedom and Human Rights
Immorality conveyed the acme of youthfulness
Invading and subjugating the moralization creed
Hopeful voices of effulgence nonviable
Gone is the doctrine of life
Terrorism a religion and sapless words an ism
Where are the minds of enlightenment
A sad day for mother Earth
Her most precious jade gone rogue
There's no safety in her sphere
Animal species on the brink of defunctness
Great invention (nuclear weapons) made for the human race
God's creation happily worship idols
Life a prison
Typification of the devil like a threads in a suit

Abdul Kiawu Poem
Giving is a placid air
It's safe to inhale in times of despair
Lies deep a treasure chest that hold valuables
To put smile on someone face
To give is a priceless gift
Far better than a fountain of gold
In charity we stumble on endless bliss
And fall on the smiles and hopes we restore
Charity isn't life coincidence
It is leaving your footprint on someone heart
Making a big difference by giving little
And changing lives by donating benignly
Giving is man's biggest virtue
It is the axiom to happiness
The keys to unlock gloominess
And the weapon to fight melancholy
It's time to Give and change the world

Abdul Kiawu Poem
There's always a light waiting to shine
In the corner of a dark twisted fantasy, a light eager to glow
Waiting patiently to illumine
From the hallow ground of the deepest dreams
From the depth of the ocean of motivational tears
The light is coming
From afar I see it glittering
The fragrance of inspiration can't escape my nostril
A horizon of the future
Marching swiftly with knights of effulgence
At last there's hope
It gets brighter when your pair of eyes closes
It sings louder than a million nightingale in the quiet night
The light is near
With it giant Trojan horse it approaches
To rebuild broken dreams and unshackle us from mental bondage
To put smile on the faces of the underprivileged
Oh that light we've longed for
Our knight in shining armor is coming
For the days of darkness is numbered
The light is just a heartbeat away
With every pounding sound of our heart a reason to fight
With every tears a calling
They hear us clearly
They are here
They are us
I am the light
You are the light
We are the light
Together we shine
Rewriting our story with a pen bleeding the truth
Every dream a chapter
With one voice, one heart, one pen
We are ready to shine through darkness

Abdul Kiawu Poem
You've fought bravely
Eclipsing your fear and obstacles
Useful hours quietly given to knowledge
Soar above today's greatness for there's miles to go
Be an exemplary leader
The shimmering light on your path a guidance
The brilliance in your thought a beam of light
This is the journey of effulgence
This day was an ultimate goal
Look ahead and dream possibilities
Seize a future that life holds
For today is the rudiment to unleash your abilities
Congratulations on your first step
A beginning of gusto
Surely a lux on your path forever
They've light your torch
Go and be a solution in tenebris

Abdul Kiawu Poem
Let's do this for eternity
My heart cries
Her selflessness embrace my happy soul
Every minute with her adorns my heart
My love for her is never-ending
I love her to wrestle a star from Andromeda Galaxy
Her abysmal of love is ineffable
My world orbit around her
Emitting the lights like the sun that brightens my day
My happiness is deeply rooted in her smile
So fertile till my love grew roots beneath her love
I smile hearing the dulcet tone of her voice
My heart whispers to me
How did she love you when you couldn't love yourself?
Hear me now
These echt words crawls from the seamless walls of my heart
They're lucky to flourish on a piece of paper
But I'll be unlucky if your heart don't favor the poetry my heart writes

Abdul Kiawu Poem
My heart struck it's last forlorn chiasma
Nothing change
The stencil was ink free
Avalanche of memories ran down mind
They were beautiful alas reality was my fear
Staying strong I tried
Distance I bravely wage war upon
For it invaded my moments
It placed me in a cordon and gift me loneliness
We are separated by the sea and ocean
The mountains and hills too
But we share the sky like portion
I'm counting stars four hours ahead
Rising to the lonely morning
Admittedly a sad tale to pen
Oh empty me fill with words
She's gone for 1,008 hours and left me with thee

Abdul Kiawu Poem
Take me untroubled
To a sacred ground unscathed
Show me a tabloid with a story untold
Unveil the gallantry of a heroine unsung
Squall aloud ye inspiration
Touching every soul
As it fall on listening heart
Grow roots and make beautiful flowers
With the seeds of the inked words your mind sees
The tale is awake
The readers are aware
The story will never be forgotten
The struggle that pen hankering voices for equality
Behold the wave that inscribe epitaph on a patriarchy society

Abdul Kiawu Poem
A lost soul has no intention to be found
It has learned love is pain and vice versa
That's why hearts are painted ugly evil black
With a damage smile it love
For pain it know is to learn not feel
The silence it brings filled you with wisdom
And slowly drag you into the terrifying dark yet beautiful
This life is an epitome of shatter dreams and beautiful lies
Be ready for the wreckage that lies ahead
Juggle your pains, you'll have too many to heal

Abdul Kiawu Poem
Take a look back
Back at your life
Half a decade ago
Are there any changes?
If not, reevaluate your strategy
If yes, keep pressing forward
Do you think the sky is your limit?
Thinking that is mediocrity
Believe there's something above the sky
What if the heaven is achievable
Then the sky isn't your limit
Is a step to zenith
Have you thought about success?
What is your goal in life?
Do you have a purpose?
If not, chicken mentality is subject to riddance
If yes, eagle mentality is a path of refulgence
Do you worry about failure?
Yes, everybody does
But it's nothing but our inability to try
Face everything and rise
You're a winner
Are you a pessimist?
Don't choose to be an agent of negativity
Difficulty in opportunity is your objective
You're blinded by imbecility over reality
Look ahead, optimist rule
Be optimistic
