Rising tides
Butchering dreams effortlessly
Hope springs eternally
Tides rise, unscrewing bolts
Yet it lifts all worried boats.
Tomorrow promised big gains
Everyday, I tried again
Give me motivating words
To lift me against all odds.
Seeking for a breakthrough
But it is an impossible pull
Tides rise, unscrewing bolts
Yet it lifts all worried boats.
I still do not know where I stand
Carrying the weight of the world
Give me motivating words
To lift me against all odds.

The stratum debates.
Every new born, sound out,
“My own stratum, stands out”
What have you done that has
Never been done before?
Every new born sound out,
“My own stratum stands out”
Whereas they are all same
Actions performed anew.

A loss to win
Warriors of my motherland
I can see you are well armed
In weapons and in courage
To fight for a dream of age
That will liberate all of us
But what if the dream is false?
What if we were never meant
To go out, head on and fight
But let the bitterness of life
Tear us apart with its knives
Like the farmers do to grass
And the fire burns it to ash
What if the best way forward
Is not bravery but as cowards
For tomorrow to be made better
By the shoot that shall sprout later
From bones and rotten corpses
Liberating all of us.

Synecdoche of Current page
The shadows we run from helps us turn
The inherent aptitude, from page to page.
Writing books with no table of content
Just preface gotten from the naming days,
No human can take back the hands of time;
The characters in here are none frictions.
Grey and shadows are our awaiting shelves
Forever young is a pie in the sky.
In life we live, we Author our own book
Writing our own stories on mortal sheets.
Current page is at times the worst page of our books
Though at times, not the case, for those on top the world.
Every day a page turns for next chapter to come
No Author knows the end of his story.
The shadows we run from lives by the grey
An inherent aptitude in our books.

False battlefields
Life is a complex cable
Connecting possibilities
Goals we chase but blows we get
Taking turns receiving drop jaws
For what do I know, than to say
If you fail, try and try again.
Life is a complex cable
Connecting possibilities
No matter how you try and try
If preparation meets not
With an opportunity
Failure will be inevitable.
Life is a complex cable
Connecting possibilities
Gurus we are, and so we wish
Trying to gain an Einstein’s hairs
Fair enough, nothing ever counts,
In six feet where skulls shall rot.
Life is a complex cable
Connecting possibilities
No man can escape the result
If you attempt cheating death
Warm will turn cold while you realize
Finding success is died in cast.

Sonnet: Never Were
Fighters wear gloves to win
Trophies thrown in the bin
History tells of things
As it pleases, versions told.
Forgetting roots that hold
Forgetting ray but beams
Life is, a funny dream..!
Miserable but it seems
To have coat some sweet cream
And others bitter trims
Oh life is a short film
In case, it starts to dim
Don’t you fight or scream
At the end, no one wins.

Parent’s Scholasticism
My mothers prudence
Saved me from
Repeating failures.
Her rules and justice
Gave me grace
And self-discipline.
My dads fortitude
Made me to
Conquer my demons
His great temperance
Counselled me
To abstaining excuses.
During the times of
Bruise and stitch
I recall my parents
And all they thought me
Then I feel
No pain, but healing.

Sonnet: Same air we breath
Both spots differ,
But lines are thin.
Big cities have
Lots of cravings;
Lovely to dwell
Whereas ghettos
Win nothing good
When you compare.
Take a step out
Toss your head up
There is one sun,
Same stars and moon.
Same air we breath
Sharing same depth.

Today’s Piece of Wood
When the moments come,
Man up and stay strong..
Know that you just see
The inner structure…
The outside is fine
Build it from within…
In all you go through
Be not regretful
Or dull, be mindful
Today is a wood
From which tomorrow
Is carved into arts
Every pieces count
To make a masterpiece
All you need, is to
Believe in yourself.

Bitter Making Bee
Someone by the street
Came knocking for breath
And to grab your hands
Onto secured lands.
The ears of the walls
Resounds whispered words
They said all you said
From stories they heard.
They say, you say, this
And that, many gist
But how could you be
Bitter making bee.
