Nigeria: We are not leopards
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
School teaches us to compete
But right now, drop the books
The largest black nation
Should be doing better
Drop the competitions
We learnt on chalk and board
It has so misled us
Hence our Nation crumbles
Let us adopt teamwork
For our Nation to grow.
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
Our poor mentality
Need a speedy u-turn.
The largest black nation
Should be doing better
Stop the awful mortgage
Of our children’s future.
We are not immortals
Night and dawn affect not
Let us make a good use
Of our enormous wealth.
Hey! we are not leopards
That can not change their spots
Enough of reoccurring
Painful drawbacks we get.
The largest black nation
Should be doing better,
Not locked and caged inside
Our own stupidity.
For just like charity
That does begin at home;
Our Nation’s growth
Depends so much on us.

Go through the pain
If you need love
Just let it rain.
If you need breathe
You have to go
Out through the pain
Till it is gained.

Nigeria: Eating flesh, gifting bones
It pains so hard
That we still find
Folks eating sand
In a rich land.
Disparity
Between parties
Pose such pity
In my city.
Poverty sketch
Hits highest pitch
Those who eat flesh
Gift bones and preach.
It pains so hard
That we still find
Folks eating sand
In a rich land.
Many reach heights
To detach sight
From fingers that
Fed them in past
Disregarding
The beginnings
And forgetting
Humble gardens.
Seems the rich aim
At sending rain
To combat strain,
But make more gain;
And, not to sink
They kick, poor pick
Demeaning rocks
Praising rich folks.

Mood so swung
Have you ever had moments
That aren’t about regrets
Nor desiring time rewind
So to undo an ill act…
Have you ever had a rage
Burning within at some stage
When you just couldn’t pinpoint
From where the mood swings and drifts…
And, have you ever been asked
Why you are moody and sad
But you just have no answer
To why joy became lesser.
Am I alone in such world
Where moods flush like floods
Washing the subconsciousness
To the state of happiness.

The symptom
Two legs in one
Trouser and pants
She thrust words as
Arrows and spears…
Some times tears melt
Mountains of ice
Some times the tears
Refuse to pour
Instead it falls
Like collapsed walls
Picking the tooth
Meal or no meal…
Digging deep holes
The blood gush out
In response to
A broken heart
Dumbs, can not speak
Some times they rap
When pain hits peak
In sorrow wraps…
At times we men,
Turn good women
Into awful
Terrible nags.
The neighbor hears
Parrots and dogs
Next time when we
Say she has changed
Firstly; let us,
Correct our wrongs
We are diseases
Her nag; symptoms.

Nigeria: Today’s tomorrow tales
Today’s tomorrow tales
Should be remembered
For the darkest hour
Today’s shadow draws…
Please do not forget to
Mention all the blood
Spilled by innocent ones
In all zones of the green…
Do not forget to tell
Of the pigs and their lines
And how they looted us
Building their big castles.
Do not forget to tell
Of all the foolishness
We adopted down the line
Applauding evil doers..
Do not forget to tell
There was a country
In unity but separated
All in politics name.
Please do not forget
To tell stories as it were
So tomorrow will learn
From the errs of today.

Broken; sharp words
No harm, no wrong
Your promise sunk
With the same tongue
you kiss and lick
You have spoken
ill to my heart
Now am broken
scattered apart
Beyond a seal
I even bleed
Beyond a heal
I leak indeed.

Nightingale Alley
Sitting on rocks by the beach
River flows with a force
That could erode an alley.
Every day thunder strikes
Can you hear the nightingale
As it sings melodiously
Do not hear but listen deep
The legs are forced open in pain
Listen beyond its nocturnal songs
The peaceful River is a mirage
There are tears in tone of its voice
It cries out, begging for help.
A few minute pleasure, a leisure?
Hello male, and hello females
There is no right in being rapist
Seek consent, it might be yours
Wait a minute, think about it,
What if you were your own victims.

Monkey in cage
I placed courage in open cage
In search for gains but it brought pains
That is fatal and so brutal.
I swung on trees when coasts were free
I swung all edges to break this cage
The sweats I put, no longer counts.
I swung to undo but was fooled
I swung, I climbed, with all my limbs
The hope was large but a mirage.
I am locked up so please shut up
Inspirations, will only bring pains
That is fatal and so brutal.

A wait too long
I have stood, walked, ran, slept and worked
I have waited, for the trains and jets
Till my bold fell, and frets swelled
It goes begging for a bargain
In success songs, I wait too long.
