The Life
(The Catalogue Of My Thoughts)

Firstly,I first arrived
Like the sun peeping through the walls of the sky
Little and steady,I learn my ways
Steadily and firmly,the realities hit me hard
And....wait,what is this place?


As the accurate time-keeper will always come when he will
As the sting of Death lasts a life-time
and what will stable the unstability of my unstable Heath?
As Sickness make me bed-stinking
As Love perfect the imperfect life in my sight
As Lust hide behind the curtains to torment me so
As Knowledge reveal myself to my veryself self
As Pride make me to compare myself with the gods
As Humble will always eat the sweetest fruit
As Feelings will always weakening me.

As Memories are like imageries
As Beauty Fades everyday
As Success is the head of family: failure an orphan
As my wishes can never reserve the Hands of Time
As my sweat don't determine my pyramid-like fortune
As Sleep only make me forget this war-place momentarily
As my body always wants to be soak in water and honey
As my laughs rings in the yesterday
As my mouth will never be grateful for the meal of yesterday
How,how will I fight the supernatural Forces o know not?



As Grief always want me early in grave
As Pains hunts me into the very soul
As Imperfection is in my very blood
As Anger is a junior brother to Madness
As Patience cook stone to softness
As the mysteriousness of mysterious things will always be mystery
As I sleep with uncertainty of the neighbour future
As I am older than Yesterday,Today my mate and Tomorrow is a day older
As I come with naught and will go with it
What,then,is the meaning of my labour and restlessness?

As another man is coming tomorrow to deny my existence,to build his castle on my very tomb
As one man's cocoyam is another's food
As some are born with golden spoon: others with wooden cup
Ai! Where are the riches of yesterday?
Where are the friends I spent yesterday with?
Why is problems always at my abode's backyard?
Why is it that what I see not,know not is septillion to what I know?
What worth keeping? What is losing value that worth throwing away?
I pray you,what Mathematical equation will balance your imbalance equation?
Why are you a rotational organism?

Like I am under the Colossus of Apollo,must I be always lookin you up so?
Toiling me,tell me,is that your fantasy?
Like a drum: you face some,turn back to others
What armour,what weapon will I fight this battle with?
Daily,I must run daily to meet my daily bread
Hun! Another man is always coming tomorrow to do it better than I did
Chai! Where are my goals,aims plus objectives once I breath my last?
Who will curest thou of thy sickness?
So little time,so much to do with my fragile body!
Why are you of unequal term?

Life! What is you?
A life of many worlds
House of no rest
Home of tears and gnashing of teeth
Catalogue of sorrow and doom
The orgin of unequality
A place of uncertainty
A field of Battle
A pit of Tribulations
Oh Life! Thou hast beautiful lie!
