Not a single stone
Remained unmoved
On the world of illusion,
To treat my bipolar condition:
What you focus on is what you get!









Myriad symbols sent from above
To stop the madness, but
Once the cortex chemically oriented,
Higher reality cannot be interpreted:
What you focus on is what you get!





Sister, in the exile of duality
We're all split within and without
The man in white, glues the label on:
Depression, bipolar or schizophrenia,
What you focus on is what you get!







Regardless of the diagnosis, there's is choice
Either you accept the tag or
The Truth: Oneness driven from beyond
With inescapable perfection:
What you focus on is what you get!








Crying for help from "out there" is
The sure sign, we're forgotten or
Never knew:
Discord is the harmony of the Universe:
What you focus on is what you get!

1. THE WISHFUL THOUGHT OF A NIGERIAN


I wish being married to you
was bliss, that blossom like
Cherry blossoms, on a mid
summer afternoon.

I wish being married to you
Didn't make me mourn,
With scorn, that put
a smile on the face of the moon.

I wish being married to you
painted the sky with words,
that tell tales of swords,
Which causes discord.

I wish being married to you
didn't wipe my eyes with
crimson red, that shed tears,
that flows like the Nile.

I wish being married to you
didn't make me sow seeds,
that sprouts weeds,
on our bed of creeds.

I wish being married to you
didn't cause so much pain,
which brings so much gain,
even for Kaduna to contain.

I wish being married to you
didn't make me realize,
that, you are indeed,
the Domitilla of my time

I wish being married to you
didn't put a plaque,
on my back, like the plague,
that scorch the Hague

I wish being married to you
didn't make my heart quake
like Earthquake measuring 10
on the Richers Scale.

I wish being married to you
didn't cause me so much grief,
that made be believe,
you are the chief thief.

I wish being married to you
didn't make me feel trapped,
and wrapped in a cocoon,
of deceit and conceit.

I wish I could handle you,
I wish I could cuddle you,
I wish I could kiss you,
I wish I could caress you.

I wish I could stand and bask
Without wearing a mask,
In the magnificence,
Of your former presence

I wish I could divorce you,
Oh Nigeria!.

Phew! dont know how to write poem oooo. well lemne give it a try...
----------------------------

I WISH I HAD MORE

I wish! I wish!! I wish!!!
I wish I had more of Tex,
‘cause life without Tex
Like a lonely goat
Would be a big bore.

I wish I had more smile,
On your lips forever, while
At all times, high or
Low and every moment you
Would ever know

I wish I had more,
‘cause Cisse without Tex
Like a blind horse
Would be a big snore.

I wish I’d had more,
‘cause with my Tex,
Like a hairy rug
I cover the floor.

I wish I had more,
But when I sit down to love you,
To be every ray of sun,
With which your every
Day had begun
My Behind gets sore.


I wish I had more,
‘cause if I don’t have you,
Like unfed horse,
You will hear me snore.

I wish I had more.
My Tex is missing,
As the honesty is missed
I’m going to get sore.

I wish I had more.
Of your love, oh Tex,
like a cockatoo
It’s my favorite chore.

I wish I had more.
That’s why I scream as I
Run like a chased robber
Out of Nigeria looking for Tex.

I wish, Tex, I had more
Like Harry Potter
A magic wand
To make all my wishes
Come true.

SADOWS OF YESTERDAY
by Tex

I wish the hands of time would turn;
Spin back to simpler days without concern.
Back to a time and place when old bridges, I did burn.

There are moments, though fleeting,
I do yearn,
When memories start to churn,
And the shadows of yesterday begin to sojourn.

I wish...but no.

Would I want to unlearn,
And spurn
The lessons and knowledge I have earned,
To visit the "Past Regrets" tavern?

Father Time commands the urn
That one day will overturn,
And chime the time to adjourn.

OUT OF MY GRASP
**
I wish all my wishes will come true,
Then i won't stop wishing.
**
I wish there was no you,
Then my heart will know no grief,
Love would have been an alien,
Whom i will walk past without looking back,
The days won't get lonely and the night scary,
My heart won't turn to stone,
My Kingdom will still have a throne.
**
I wish i couldn't make a wish,
Singing the lazy man's anthem,
Counting my chickens before they are hatched.
**
I wish i could wish for two things,
Just two things,
Love and war.
**
I wish i had wings, then i will fly to the sky
and ask God,
Where do dead babies go, heaven or hell,
What about the good atheists, the angels who fell,
Why do good things happen to bad people and the righteous fade like ripples.
**
I wish i could search the whole sky and see there is no God,
No big Almighty who watches our affairs,
Only to come back and hear a tiny voice within my soul,
Feel the strong bond of existence,
God's real representative,
The cord that connects everyone,
That brings the initiative of good and evil,
No fanaticism, no extremism,
Just the benefit of Mankind.

4).WISHFUL THOUGHT FOR NIGERIA.
I wish you luck Nigeria,
a great piece every day,
a ladybird on a four-leaved clover
and sunshine at all times.
You shall never have a Black Friday,
luck shall come along with you on your way.
I wish you health,
resistance against corruption.
Neither economic decline, theft, terrorism, nor weariness -
none of this shall plague you,
be lusty and fit each and every day.
I wish you love,
no chance for those thieves,
who come and steal your heart,
just to torture you afterwards.
I hope the one will find you,
with whom a red thread conjoins.
I wish you strength Nigeria,
I wish you never break up for any reason.
Persevere no matter what happens.
Proceed, do not fear the challenge.
I wish you satisfaction,
because life often demands modesty.
Be glad for what you possess;
do not commiserate what you miss.
I wish Never shall befall you harm,
your citizen's shall live a life of charm
and shall wear a smile on their face.
I wish you time.
a valuable merchandise these days truly.
It may not pass so speedily;
time to be recognise in world,.
I wish our diverisity would make us stronger
I wish we remain ONE NIGERIA.
I wish the almighty would guide Nigeria through trouble times.

SOMEONE TO CALL MY OWN


I wish there was a soul,
Whose words keep me aglow.
Someone to call My own,
When others keep away.


Going through life alone is burdensome,
In bed alone is worrisome,
Aloneness can be cumbersome,
With none to share the sum.


All day I look and search,
All night I sigh and sleep.
The watch and wait seems endless,
Where is the one that makes me whole?

...to be a queen...

I wish to be the queen. When
my father has gone
to be with his ancestors. To rule
the land that made me and
taught me to live. To teach others what
I have been taught.

Alas, if I am to lead,
my travails will surpass the
sands of the beach. Would be more difficult
than the tasks of almighty Hercules. More
daunting than the bounds of queen Esther.

Because I am a woman, and my
thoughts don't matter. Because I am a minor
and my ways are immature. because I am the last child
and I have to be patient, waiting till eternity.

I wish to be the queen,
It remains to be seen.

SCRIBBLED WISHES

I wish for a life of roses
filled with joy and peace
having so many photographs with different poses
in my hand the golden fleece.


I wish for a better country
with corrupt leaders indisposed,
no need for forgery
the lyrics of our country so dolce.


i wish she said yes
when i proposed on bended knee,
and never said i was a pest
Those words came on me like a pee.



I wish am immortal
life is fun and sweet,
for death is so fatal
one swat...a shallow pit.


I wish some wishes come true
while some should not
for if wishes are flu
we will all hide in a distant fort.

9. MY SHADOW; ANOTHER ME
I WISH thou didst have a pair of ears,
So when the world does go wearily deaf,
Thou wilt trail by me like a lad who cares,
Walk and listen swiftly akin to an elf.


Flip up hope when I'm fallen an' bruised,
Thy dark self shalt slant along my path,
An' in unison,leaving footprints in hues;
O! I wish,you'd gallop along like a cart.


We're e'en more glued than siamese twins,
Nowt which I do,that you oughtn't do,
No'ith force,but fate that oughtn't be twist'd,
On earth we met,in death will I let go?.
Reliable and truthful,even than most lovers,
That like a prey-bird doth searchingly hovers.

Laugh all day, cry all night.
Always saying nothing's wrong.
Everything's alright.

Never wanting to admit
How you really feel inside,
Because all you really want
To do is run away and hide.

I wish, just wish that.
Maybe, just maybe,
I could lose myself in a world
That wasn’t my own.

A world where only
You and I exist.
Night and day would become
One in the same.

And hopefully,
Everyone of our problems.
Every problem in the world
Would melt away.

WISHES OF HOPE

I wish my wishes could stop being wishes,
But rather experiences.
Which i live on,
Which i learn from.
***
I wish my dreams,
Could be like streams,
Flowing towards a destination,
Heading towards my vision,
As its sole mission.
***
I wish you could give me one chance,
To put me out of this trance,
And actually hold your hands,
So you can cuddle in my arms.
To be your twin,
And you, my queen,
To breathe your breath,
To cause no sweat.
***
I wish I could see the future
Of a nation,
With a formidable measure
Of protection.
Neither ladened
With missing lasses,
Nor saddened
With wailing masses.
I refuse to see a fissured future,
But rather hope for a sutured signature.
