Native Fly: Legends of Aza
Have you been through Dein’s kingdom
Blessed with kaoline, and great chiefdoms
Tapping palm wines with so much freedom
Harvesting tubbers longer than five hands,
Like an ocean, that surrounds an island
Dein’s kingdom encompasses all kinds.
The Oza people, speak a distinct language
Not far from Benin; legends have it, in ages
That Aza let loose lovebirds from cages.
He was a warrior from the Benin Empire
That was struck by the naked love wire
Of Princess Odu who was as hot as fire.
But it all began on a very long journey
When the Princess had to rest her kneel,
The troops were delighted to stop and heel.
Like they say; “love happens like magic”
Even in circumstance that may seem tragic
For a great warrior, suddenly chose meek.
Abandoning a mission, love betide was strong
That the troops realized, “Aza must be wrong”
Hence they left him to bloom or die in thong
Instead the lovebirds begat a son, Uvbere
And the land which they had dwell in merry
Was called Oza, to immortalize a love story.

Smart Aleck
The clocks ticks slow but moves so fast
Patience we loose whereas no time
We emulate the flying birds
Creating the planes without feathers
No doubt we are the wise apple
But we are worst than the cattle
We love the riots and disorder
We love the blood of our brothers
We spank and we rape our sisters
Yet we are above the animals
We are smart Aleck the wisest guys
But foolish in using knowledge.

The helpless
We have none, you have pairs
We have rags, golds you wear
New you buy, we repair
Nuts we earn, yours is square
We are poor; and aware
You are the billionaires
Isn’t it crystal clear
The gap between us glares
Those that claim to care
Wants in return our air
Those that demands not, are
More than a pain to bear.

Global Persistence
America would not be found
If the minds of men were blind
And the red Indians land
Would be deserted by now.
Colonization might have bleached
Dark skins, good evil and white witch
A dog is a dog, chained or unleached
Even Angels must earn their wings.
Often bad things that come
Brings the best act and form
For the water to have a foam
Fishes might have to float.
An easy catch might be bad
What lies underneath if found
Could be a reason far from sad
Stop murmur and make a boat.
Sail through tides and readjust
Everything present will be past
Grow yourself before you harvest
Rome was not built over night.

Strangers on Internet
Fingers has become our eyes
Longest distance now backyards
Just a click, we turn friends…
We are roses on stainless feet,
To all strangers that we met
In dreams, called internet…
To them we share deep secrets
Public; yet private diaries
Likes, follows and the retweets
Expressing love to ceilings…
We filter all the blemishes
And we meet to have limits
Nothing that we can’t share
To strangers on internet
Our offline friends we fear
When we post those hidden tears.

Welcome criticism
I don’t mind seeing through or across the walls. On my blog I always welcome criticism. No one is perfect.
Years ago, outside the shores of Nigeria, precisely in the US, there was a plaque, black death of childbirth.
Morning to night, autopsying, Scientist and doctors conducted research to find the cure…
The tore body parts, experimenting emphatically.
One man came up saying that doctors who conducted research at night didn’t watch their hands before attending to pregnant women in labor the next day. That they were the vectors …
They called him crazy for 30years. And 30years after they found out he was right… And they began sterilizing kits.
Take corrections, at times we are the problem.
I remain, Onyeche Vincent Onyekachukwu.

Internet lament
I wanted to do a video for this but it was not bright enough.
Yesterday I faked my birthday on Facebook and I got crowd of people calling and texting. It’s obvious we care about digits, we care about years than lifespan. We care about memories on social media…
The message I wish to pass is that we have lived so much on the internet that we forget the essence of a real world.
I have an extreme dislike for certain unethical stuffs I can’t mention.
I have seen people broke as fuck upload pictures and stories, painting their broke as rich, claiming to be Porsche or soft.
We have lived so much on the internet and now bring our fanatics and sarcasm into it.
We now don’t know how to tuale at our older ones, we go cursing our grandfather easily because of social media…
We have all turned social religious critics and journalist. We comment and find likes and followers as if it is the criteria to make heaven.
We have made friends with, Rabbi, ritualists, ashawo, witches and wizards… Sane and Insane.
We make plans to meet, some guys plan sex, some girls gold dig.
I have met friends on Facebook who are MJ fine but offline are beautiful only in Gods eye.
I have met friends online, chatted with them as if we’ve ever met, still chatting for years though, it never ends…
I have seen a lot of fake and real, if you have no job please get a pay and don’t go thinking everyone online are jobless as you.
Many people are relationship jumpers because of social media, many lust after the impossibilities…. Having pictures of tall, 6 muscular guys and big boobs and big butt hottie’s… Hoping to breath life into rainbows.
Well my message is please not everything you see online is true.
And one thing we all need to learn is patience, patience in love, patience in relationship, patience in job, patience in the world… While we stay youthful in old.
Thank you… I remain Onyeche Vincent Onyekachukwu

Cecilia – Love comes around
Cecilia is second to none, she’s a diva
Each pace she makes blossoms a flower;
She’s so thick, curvy and well-endowed
She took love to war and left him on the ground;
Misjudged, so he fought like a dying lion
Broken and helpless with wet pillows
True love found was a lost to its very own shadows,
So he roared and the turbulent storm came on.
Whirling and searching for a new lace,
Irrespective of fine face and body case;
One who can fine tune the heart in place
So in pains it roamed and ran an endless race.
On a different track Cecilia had an empty room,
Curiously, she followed a pestilent storm
And ended up where she had once began
Same love cast, came around; and became her man.

Adam’s Story: 9,30 (Death2)
Death!
More cruel
And heartless than Cain.
O yes to me it came
And me it flogged
At an age
Old Adam of 930 caps
At this time
E’noch could not be found
Thirty-nine on my top:
Methuselah a boy of my cord
Humbly broke my record
The devil may be wiser
But my seed lived longer
I know my cord.
After Noah died in genesis
Under same chapter
I waited for the next verse
9:30
But it never came, my son
What’s wrong with your generation?
I wish;
The difficult pill to swallow now
Never passed my throat
I would have written
A secret of long life
On Proverb 9:30.
