My poem for review by Kruzilano(m): 9:52pm On Jul 01, 2016 |
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Back side of the flag°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Darkness is looming Our nightmares are becoming reality Shadows of fears grip the land The king has been replaced with a pawn Will the sun ever. Shine again? Oh my country, oh my nation Your white has been tainted with black spot. The two horses live no longer in peace My country, pray for thou ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• State treasury filled with thieves State security pockets fed with tips The streets are filled with rogues Daily they roam in in thousands Lips of the pastor smeared with lies Remains of morality perched by flies Oh my dear country ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The rich are getting richer The poor can't afford bread Politicians sits on an ocean of wealth Starvation fills the belly of the common man Kill him!! Kill him!! That's a man who stole his daily bread Honour him!! Honour him!!! That's a man who just stole the country's bread Oh my country, who are thou to blame Your lack of creativity or greediness My nation! My pride ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A first class graduate can't read fluently That intelligent son of yours is a blockhead The lecturers passes only their pocket The rich pays for grade The poor prays for grace Bimbo paid with kind Oh my country.. How great art thou ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The singing birds are no more Our early morning greeted by the mourning of the town crier Blood flows fill the smoky sky Drums sound of war deafening the little girls ear Coal leave scar on the faces of our men It our land!!!! it our oil!! They cry in unison We are being marginalized they tell their sons Western education is forbidden, they preach to their people Which way my dear country? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Focus on what you have The white are only there for self interest They will laugh @ you when you defecate The media will see you drowning and take pictures No one cares about you my dear country Drag yourself out of the mud of shame I pledge to be loyal to you my country Nigeria my father land• 5 Likes 1 Share |

2. •••••••••••A MERCURIAL FUTURE•••••••••••• My strength goes underneath my fears My joy masked in my tears What I am unto I have no idea But further and further still I dare •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sweet memories lightens up my world What the future entails frighten up my mind Debris of customs and traditions sighs mournfully The fresh scent of the future breathes hopefully A feeling and euphoria nd despondency sings in union Up in my ear they spill their opinion •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Just few years back, he salivated about getting married Just few years after, he his weighed down by d marriage crosses he carried Gradually the hairy man has gone bald His marriage still lies @ the mercy of time The deed of his better half slay him mercilessly Joy abound as he watched his kids grow gradually •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Our night shades get younger as time grow old The mind can't fathom what the future holds Things are going to slide In all direction they will take their sides Forgiveness reunite them at the peak of the quarrel Love tightens them at the end of the tunnel What the future holds at hand, to the mind lies its mystery And when it unfolds its joy or misery Pen-priest.....facebook.com/lil.scot 1 Like |

************LINDA'S BLUE BIRD************ Little bird melodious tales The old woman interesting songs Songs and tales full of fallacy Fallacy that fell the almighty iroko Don't listen to what she preaches ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••the little bird is at it again She say all that comes to mind True and untrue Radio without battery So the people call her Amebo nigeria so I call her linda ikeji, so she takes her glory Don listen to her fairy tales •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This little bird again!! Hunters cocking their dane gun Just incase she came flying over their roof top She will be food for hunters one day We will gather round to eat her meat one day she might be to little to fill the belly of the community But she fill them with rumors Linda ikeji my little blue bird Close your ear to her melodious song •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Be careful how you defecate on hunters head Be careful the tales you tell for gold Their shoulders you might need to rest upon It might raise up dust till dawn Your words might hunt u like a desperate vampire Yout nest might be burnt by the wild fire The wild fire you made Be careful my little bird Be wise linda ikeji• Pen-priest..... 1 Like |

*********Candle Tear Drop********* Tender as I am Dangerous I could me Tall and glued to the open My attire so spotless My luminous soul they harness Poised for relaxation, romanticism or perfect evening Keep me burning is all I ask Greater show of brightness, I am tasked Warm and soothing Melting, dripping with time passing Deeply burn till there is no me anymore Blown out by the ones I love And my flames dance up above It is a privilege to have your face magnified Once gone, forgotten by those I sacrificed Another of my kind now takes my place and position Alas same fate awaits him with much anticipation Stay here long Shine more bright Be my song For all the night From candle to wax Let the candle stick weep |
