In a construction site I saw her as I passed by, A white goat. Running round a well, excited bleats. I knew not why. An echo I heard or so I thought. Did wells bleat too? So I checked. Nature's picture of helplessness- In the well, a white kid. It's hopless... I thought aloud. Its mother heard and disagreed. Her child must live! She bleated again. It's just a goat I thought again and turned to leave. She saw me turn, she saw me leave. She saw the human turn to leave. On goat legs... the heart of a mother... She ran towards me. Another desperate bleat. Save my son! I thought I heard. I can't help you. I wished I could explain. It's far too deep to try. With guilt I stared in her eyes. With hope she bleated some more. On two legs, the human just walked away. 2 Likes |

Oah, I love that! He speaks, she bleats... A silent plea for understanding, in words unspoken. 1 Like |

This not an original work, but my adaptation of Marilyn Mansons' Leave A Scar Heartbreaker: The Song of the Sadist The last thing I wanna do Is hurt you But it's STILL on my list of new and inventive ways, to rip your heart to bits Think of me as a wet painting Pretty, shiny and gleaming, But ultimately still unfinished. You may admire me, But only from afar If you touch me, I'll be smeared, But you'll be stained. Stained for the rest of your life. Think of me as a bullet, Or a moving train I'm moving fast, Can you hold me? and if I get into your heart, Can you survive? I am quite dangerous, To myself, Do you know, I could be dangerous to others? And what you thought was my smile, Is really just a crack in my soul. So baby spin on those fine heels Baby just turn around Before you fall in love with my beauty And miss the monster within. If you insist That you're not afraid of being hurt Then I'm not afraid of how much I'll hurt you Yes you may love me, And yes you'll probably f u c k me, But chances are, I will probably f u c k you over And baby.... What doesn't kill you... ...... At all at all.... ...it'll leave a scar 1 Like |

Nigeria Is Sick Paste this on your wall as poster or sticker Send it through Fed-Ex, DHL, whichever is quicker Beam your light on it, not just a flicker "Patience may be sick but Nigeria is sicker Patience may have been diagnosed of food poison, fibroid, or parkinson But Nigeria has for long being suffering from corruption and its poison With our right to good living jailed in political prison And our leaders doing as they wish without giving us reason Patience may have gone to Germany to rest But for long Nigeria has known no rest, north, south, east or west Boko haram among others has put our society to test And conquering this monster appears to be an impossible quest Of course patience, we wish you well Just as we pray that Nigeria will one day be free from her spell That made her paradise to the leaders but the populace their hell Or isn't a curse for our leaders to laugh while we cry and yell? Patience we rejoice with you because for your sickness you found a cure Your recent thanksgiving service made us this sure But poor Nigeria! she remains sick and finding her a cure no one can assure Yet, with the hope of a better tomorrow she continues to endure Patience may be sick but Nigeria is sicker Paste this on your wall as poster or sticker Beam your light on it, not just a flicker Share it through nairaland, facebook, whichever is quicker - AMBERACIOUS POEMS http://amberacious./2013/02/19/342/ 1 Like

The Nobodies They call him fat They call him ugly He is a fighter jet With no wings and no wheels He's going nowhere fast No-one understands her No-one gives a shyt she's doing the moonwalk On the highway She's going nowhere fast We are the Nobodies We just want to be one of you! They tell him of a God A vicious compassionate Lord A king that sees into his heart They tell her of a Cause And of People who embrace without a pause A Cause that is sustained from her heart We know you're Nobodies Come be one of us! His God is very angry His God is very cross These infidels! These Pagans! They are NOT Pious! Her Cause requires Sacrifice Her Cause requires Guts! These Non-believers must be Shown! This battle MUST be Fought! We need Somebodies You must fight for us! He is a soldier Fighting for his God He is divine retribution in the flesh He is the the Judgement of his Lord He WILL murder the infidels! He WILL bathe in their blood! HIS GOD WILLS IT! HIS GOD WILLS IT!! She is a soldier Fighting for her Cause She is a bullet Fired from a Sniper's rifle Smiting down her foes Like a Cause-shaped Mallet. Non-believers MUST Die! HER CAUSE WILLS IT! EVERYTHING FOR THE CAUSE!! He lays dying on the floor His body shredded to pieces Searching with his last breaths For the Angel The one that was promised him She stands at the gallows Noose around her neck Searching with her final breaths For her Comrades The ones that promised to be there to the end You are Nobodies You died for us! We remain Sombodies Our gain is your loss. |

THIS IS LAGOS As a new entrant you pass for the name JJC Like the led of a pencil it is expected you will sharpen up There is no luxury of chewing a stick and counting the birds in the sky Arise my friend This is Lagos Do well to know that the bus stop is not the usual stop It is often a wrestling to board or alight Three times you may be asked "Yes owo da mbeyen" a common ritual to oblige only but once Like the sons of Issachar recognise the times to blow as Obahiagbon and when to borrow from the garage lexicon You are advised to hold the correct fare or be solemnized with a total stranger Our traffic is constant but friendly You will get all to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner At the close of a trimester you should be home and dry in this centre of excellence Whether by BRT or BRF this is Lagos; Eko akete ilu ogbon!

THIS IS SHE! On order that must be obeyed I sing of a dear little maid; A mirthfully serious, Sober, delirious, Gently imperious Maid. And first we'll consider her eyes (Alike as to color and size); Her winkable, blinkable, Merrily twinkable, Simply unthinkable Eyes. Then, having a moment to spare, We turn our attention to hair; Her tendrilly-curlative, Tumbly-and-whirlative, Super-superlative Hair. Forbear to dismiss with a shrug Her nose, undeniable pug;-- Her strictly permissible, Turn-up-like-thisable, Urgently kissable Pug. Now, moving a point to the south, We come to an Actual Mouth; A coral, pearliferous, Argumentiferous, Mainly melliferous Mouth. Observe, underneath it, a chin, Connoting the dimple within; A steady, reliable, Hardly defiable, True, undeniable Chin. By all that is fair! it appears We'd almost forgotten her ears! Those never neglectable, Tinted, delectable, Highly respectable Ears! And last let us speak of herself, That blithe little gipsy and elf, Her quite unignorable, Absence-deplorable, Wholly adorable Self. 5 Likes |

A CALL FOR LIFE These offspring we see on our busy and dangerous roads they are the heritage of God They were born like us pregnant with world changing destinies aborted by circumstance of life Children with bottles of nuts laden with bags of water racing with vehicles exchanging goods for cash I see them exude sweat demanded by the scorch of sun clothed with discoloured complexion surviving for a hopeless tomorrow The looks in their eyes The unspoken words of their hearts The breath from their lungs A righteous call for life Oh men in power People of affluence Good spirited humans I call thee to question Attend thine ears Move your hearts Let the portion due be available to all They are the heritage of God deserving of a life worthy for humans like you and I Michael A.

The Revenge Mission My pains from teenage My past, my garbage My scar, my image My life, my damage Mother nature showed no favour Took away mum before i was four And the father that was my only saviour On my fifth birthday, the earth chose to devour At the time my life ought to boom Mother nature again cursed my beauty to bloom A beauty programmed to be my doom As men would only help me if i will end up in their bedroom Nothing goes for nothing they would say I will assist you if you will come with me to lay And when I refuse and say nay Then I must be ready to starve for that day I had no one in whom to confide No one supported me, none was by my side Everyone, old and young took me for a ride They took advantage of my predicament at the expense of my pride But when I went to the clinic because I was ill And was tested positive of the ailment not curable by any pill I activated my revenge mode with just one dream to fulfill Repay men in their coin as they have licensed me to kill Now you will see the monster you made from teenage The maggot that will turn your treasure to garbage Your worst nightmare, the most horrible image Your life, My damage If you've never been poor If you've never begged for remnant on the floor If you've never been abused by men and thrown out through the door Then don't judge me because you can't understand my story nor follow its spoor! -AMBERACIOUS POEMS http://amberacious./2013/03/10/347/ 3 Likes
