Letter to a King and Kingdom
Verse I
The gods are wise; they say
Purple blood is a name,
Running in thrones; not nays…
It is always fatal
When a bloody mortal
Challenges immortals…
Today, moral values
And ethics are fallen
To an unspeakable
Point where folks drag their King
To the mud, and still sting
Threatening to cut his wings.

The lookalikes
From the rocks of all ages,
I can not distinguish
Parent birds and offsprings
New blood always become
Everything genes speak of
But how do lovers choose
A lookalike for rings,
When taking the glove off
Further bending the truth
That; “one plus one is one”
Many differ from Adam
But after knotting ties
They get two gifts in lieu
One from kids of the womb
Second comes up in grey.
I have seen a balance
From produce of unions,
Between mother and child,
Yet at the other edge
You see features of dad.
If you are Mr. Thomas
Take a walk down the park
Watch families merry
New blood always become
Everything genes speak of.

Life after graduation
Million candles burnt
To realize a dream
I was the best there was
And I knocked giants down
Back in school days.
They really craved to be me
And have all skills I acquired….
But each time they attempted
My steel fist sent them packing
Back in school days.
Definitely I was born
To become the greatest of all
Even the thunder trembled
And Earthquake feared me,
Back in school days
But now fast forward
To the days way after
My blood and sweat poured
Just to reach the peak, after life
Back in school days.
Upon getting there, I discovered
That the world was peaceful
For a Warrior of my skills
And I couldn’t fit in like I did
Back in school days…
The more I tried to communicate
I sounded like an Alien
And I had to bend a kneel for
The leaders, the same folks I won
Back in school days…
But a voice whispered in my ear,
“My dear, you are a warrior
Jobless or not, to be a warrior
You do not need war, like
Back in school days”.

Two homeless men
Everyday I walk by
The road where you made a home
Under the sun and moon light
You seem not worried at all
I see your barefooted print
A thousand miles, yet you smile.
Everyday I walk by
The road where you made a home
I see you catching a nap
With no mattress and pillow
I wonder how you got here
As an image of sorrow.
Everyday I walk by
The road where you made a home
I see you clear like crystal
But I say no word to you
I baffle how you manage
To squeeze in bins when it rains…
Everyday I walk by
The road where you made a home
I wish I could talk to you
Perhaps help you in any way
But I am like you, homeless
And my life is torn apart.

Celebrate my love
Jesus is to Christmas day
What you are to today!
Why wouldn’t I celebrate?
I will like to let you know
That you worth more than gold
Why wouldn’t I celebrate?
Your beauty is both in and out
Our family is blessed to have you
Why wouldn’t I celebrate?
You are my natural Highness,
And my sweet comforter
Why wouldn’t I celebrate?
Even this birthday smiles,
Because you are amazing
Why wouldn’t I celebrate?
Cheers to my lovely wife,
Today kick starts a greater height
Happy Birthday to you my love!

The death race
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Away from varying slates
At some point in this race
According to our fate
We shall be called, “it or late”.
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Into a distant land
According to God’s plan
So live life like you can
Today hop on the van.
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
To a place from the clay
And illusions of rays
Coming from yesterday
It might be yours today,
Run, run, it all begun
The second we were born
Endeavor to have fun,
Because, we will be gone
Dwelling in shadow’s scene
Swimming in fearless stream
Yes, it is finish line;
Realm of forever dream.

Best outfit
Hope you know the best outfit when all
Is cold like a snow or extreme hot
Like the Sun is not pride nor coward?
There are times when the sky would fall down
And the ground would not be kind to hide
You from the shame, and the disaster…
There are times when nothing goes as planned
Yet the day wouldn’t end as a dream
Instead like sun, it heightens and rises.
And such times, ropes may come for the blue
Beside notes but somehow I wish you
Write poetry and change the whole story
Knowing that the tears are temporary
And suicide is no option at all
Drop the ropes, joy will come at the dawn.

A voice from Nigeria
Nothing will make me grab a rope
Just because my world hit the slope
I might have not been to Europe
But I do not have to go suicidal
Just because of someone else’s potential
Although I have not been to Asia
But before Butterfly was Caterpillar
I have to grow and not think of Antarctica
In Africa, for I have not been to Australia
Nothing will make me empty a bar
Simply because I have no luxury car
I might have not been to America
But my ink and papers have traveled
And my poetic voice have been heard
By different races across the world.

Rare African Ray
Africa has seen
Horrifying moments
Destroy her fragile hearts
We still do…
And we still believe
That a dawn will bring forth
A ray to extinguish
This darkness.
Africans have been
Hoping for the longest
Dared, but it is the least
We can do…
And we still believe
That a ray can direct
All our paths and lead us
To greatness.

Know your boundaries
Imagine when a tiny root
Claims to be large as an elephant
Challenging Nature, causing
The sky, wind, rain and the soil.
Thinking it has, already arrived
Because it has, germinating seeds,
Bragging with all the acts of God
Mighty and tall, firm and rigid.
One day, the sky began to fall
And all leaves suddenly withered
Then came the wind whirling hard
Bringing forth a cat and dog rain…
Earthquakes arose upon the soil
Placing the root where it belongs
But not until it was uprooted,
It failed to realize; no man is God.
