"Stand up son", yelled the white beard man... sooner or later, we'll all behold the shadow or that substance 'tis where the substance lies, the vaudeville booms chariots of tender and lovely revelry the soul that dwells within interminable solace binge For the shadow shadowee mongers penance inevitability; retch certainty |

I want to live life to its fullest So I don't come off as the dullest But in my quest to become the biggest I won't undermine the chances I get to become the nicest Even when the economy is biting the hardest And my dear naira is competing with the weakest I'll always forge ahead to become the greatest It can be just a step that takes me the farthest Then in my field I become the finest God being the one dwelling in the highest Will crown my hustle with a badge of conquest Until then would I live my life to its fullest So bless me GOD #cornel #wordplay 2 Likes |

AMALGAMATION
Nigeria a great nation
with natural endowment
with human resources
with land mass and population but it has lost its glory in the hands of greedy vultures who feeds on the innocent blood who root the national treasure the hope of our forefathers is gone upon which Nigeria was formed nepotism, tribalism, corruption is now the order of the day but something can be done if we trace back the reason for national amalgamation so let put our hands together and make Nigeria great again if we think well, we will act well if we act well Nigeria will be great again. |

I black, Midnight, the bed of stars that bring forth daylight. I black, Like the juice of ewuro leaves... Bitter Making the mouth spitter. I black, Like whence these thoughts converge Pits of fertile earth... Brings forth food.. I black, The image of my creator vindicates me... Black as his breath made me, Black, as God. Eden. |

ART AND ACT As I was told, It's World Poetry Day. My first as a poet. A hit poem was what I intended to write but there was no muse. Accept my apology, take these dictionary meanings as they are. Poetry is a living component of life, it's an act. It diversifies, yet retains originality. Poem is the product of poetry, it's an art in different forms and for different purposes. Poets and poetesses those bards that beautifully connect words in poetry to poems. Odetokun Elijah Olasunkanmi ©hollic Happy World Poetry Day! 2 Likes

Many’s the time, I lay on my bed With the thoughts of everything nice you've said So sweet that I allow it get to my head Then I remember how easily I fell When I heard the sweet voice of this lovely girl I was full of joy and the crowd could tell Others wondered if I was even feeling well But if you leave me now, for me life would be hell Out of pain, I will continue to yell until you reach out to me For true love is all I see and that is how it should be For me.... For you.... For us Milady. ~~Omeje Oblak, 2017 |

what is dead can never die
what is fled can never fly

what doesn't live doesn't die |

A path to enlightenment called Religion Now used To sow discord across the region Man, an immortal curse poured into the blue globe As The green thins and the water blackened, only greed paves the road Conquerer with no equal with cold iron he ensnare Dark intention and darker thoughts lie within his lair Maker of rules to serve his wishes The weak and the poor fed to his riches The vilest of all beast On his kin yet he feast Twisted tongue convincing demon Prime feats a proud phenom The killer the killed, the binder the bound, Destruction around, by the golden earth found Man, a hand shaker a fateful guide Diverted eyes paid with bleeding spine A seeking monster a cutter of hope Dreadful future ahead, a nape in a rope Cloud eating monsters and floating castles he makes An arrow filled with flame, the harmless he bakes Warrior of ways champion of truth A tree-herder plucker of unripe fruit The plague culler miracle his hands Fingers with strings forever we dance Mender of hearts and a vicious half When night appears with another he laughs Beautiful soul with sparkling moons Forever, the blue globe he dooms. 1 Like |

Lilyqueeny: Did you compose that yourself? I like it. Joavid, come write me a poem, please... Here's mine to all those we've lost, whether in peace or in peril; for friends and family who, being dead, cannot share our feelings today, here's one for you.

I'm here missing you, no april fools I don't know if its the things you did or the things I do Like Thinking about you all the time Trying to change cause continuing would be a crime Deep inside I know my very own self should be prime But what do I do when the shackles don't seem to be a problem when you all that's in my mind I fight, I struggle, I swim oceans for that salvation The hunger that is you is in me and I hope for that starvation Controls gone, passion gained and the future finally feels true Even so, I feel good because I know my emotions grew But then hey, I'm just here missing you No april fools |
