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.

Sleep Outlaw
When the sun comes up
We all rise from our bed
And as it sets, we crash…
When cock crows by dawn
While the alarm quakes,
Vibrating rise and shine
Most days I find it hard
Harder than a nut to crack
Letting go of slumber…
Such days, I twist and turn
Avoiding to say a word
With the frogs in my throat
But hold my pillow tight
Oh, it is not that am lazy
But sometimes I break the rule.

A brush with death
The air begins to leak
Inevitably,
During a brush with death
We are unable
But beckon for breath
Running from rest we seek.

Like tall palm trees
The journey began as a joke
Till giant strides together yoked,
And there we stood, exchanging vows
Inner me smiled, exclaiming; wow !!!
Like a palm tree gallantly firm
Amidst the dust, and in the storm
Growing so tall, far from a fall
Never scared of heavy down pour
Instead making rich palm wine sap
And thick red oil that never slaps
May we never be affected
By seasons, no matter how red.

Sonnet: The homily of family
Friends have turn necks
As storm comes to wreck.
If not you, then who,
Do I reach out to,
In times, I am low,
That will still follow.
I really love you
Oh yes, it is true
This is gratitude
Not a platitude.
Every word said
Can be repeated
As a homily
We are family.

Vinify: Goodwill Message
Oh we wanna thank y’all
For putting smiles on our face
For giving our slide a wedge
Without you, it would be flaw.
Y’all must have seen the ducks
Swimming over dirty muds
Swimming with no drop of sweat
Like victory comes out of luck.
But underneath the surface
Are their webbed feet paddling
Relentlessly to succeed
Yet such, shows not on their faces..
Y’all have been those webbed feet
Great foot soldiers, taking all
For our day to have a lift
Thanks, for making us stand tall.

Prayer to my Guardian Angel
Nothing is hidden
Under the Sun
I know you see all
My crimes and my flaws,
Am only human
Like one, I err.
I might have uttered
Tonnes of wrong words
Am on a chopper
In dimming skies
Turn not your lights off,
The world is dark.
My Guardian Angel
Please guard and guide
Leave me not alone
All on my own
There are Devil’s snares
Am so unsafe.

You are not Angel Michael
You are not
God or Michael
The War Angel
Respect tradition
Kola nuts served
Must be waged with funds
Palm wine in keg
Is specially served.
For every black
Dwelling on this land
You must have heard
Of covens and shrines
Simple advice
On supernaturalism
You may believe
Stories, you wish to
But don’t dare
The fallen angels
Nor try to chase
The Devil from hell
Run from trouble
Do not be the fool
That rush in where
Angels fear to tread.

The Strife
What the hell is wrong
Why do you so love
These discordances
Your left leg goes left
Your right leg goes right
All at the same time.
And the eyes gaze far
But focuses not at
What the pupil sees.
What the hell is wrong
Why do you so love
These discordances
Your both ears hear out
Everyone’s complains
And testimonies
But your mind and tongue
Keeps to words meant for,
Judgement, heeds and it.

Push further
Competition
Is tough, not as
Across the bridge.
Where people are
Discouraged or
Scared to venture.
Go extra mile
Success would be
A none denial.
