Nigeria
a land that flowed with milk and honey,
but now flows with corruption theft and armed robbery,
a land that was once thrived on honesty, love and purity,
in now evil, badly stained with wrongs, especially blood money,
justice has been swept away, the rich now own the judiciary,
the masses, ye, the poor masses no longer have faith in the jury,
why Nigeria? Why invite Gods furry?
Why to destruction do yu have to run in a hurry?
Why did yu exchange a bright future for one this blurry?
Why Nigeria cant u hold a parley,
PDP, APC, APGA, tinubu, buhari, okorocha and LP,
just try it, invite every other political party,
put aside personal interest, dnt ignore aliyu or Amaechi,
it could be every other d1ck tom and harry,
but rebuilding Nigeria is a must,
it wat we must pay not regarding the cost,
im taking the first step forward, aw abt u?
Hope u arent a coward?

The following is an elegy,lyric poem on free verse.allegory, oxymoron, personification, rhetoric question and paradox were present.

Dedicated to my late father and sister and to those who had lost their diamonds.

oooh death!
why did you hit it hard onto the world?
why did you cast your anger on the one who is innocent?
you are so mean that you even appear in our dreams,is it nightmares?,you took our pride,and turn us to a statues.

oooh death!
you are not still satisfy after you have taken the pride of some,you still came into my little kiosk and stole my priceless diamonds, you keeps us ill,and make us mourn knowing fully well that the diamonds you stole will never return.

oooh death!
This diamonds is an epitome of integrity, sweetened of honey,heart of dignity,oooh oooh,and diamonds above diamonds.

Adieu.Adieu.Adieu

I guess something is coming up too

Judge me not oh brother
Are we not from the same womb?
Loved and nurtured by the same mother
Why have you now turned against me?


Can't you remember
Those memories we created
How we both loved each other
You were always there to protect me
Guide me, help me grow
Even when I did wrong
You lovingly chided me

What have I done wrong now?
You told me to believe in myself
And follow my dreams
Why can't you follow me now?


Is it a crime to love
A man from another land
Brother where are your words?
Your promise to keep them are null

When Ijeoma came home
I was your advocate
Making mom see reason
I restlessly fought every battle
Why? You are my brother
Do I need to explain more?


In my time of need
You've deserted me
In my time of sorrow
You are nowhere to be found.


Adewale

You said the World is changing
But you aren't
Or do you only change when it suits you?

Pierre deserves none of this
Yet you claim he is a good man
But not good enough for our sis right?
Hasn't he shown himself worthy of my love?
What more do you need?


You are the last I expected this from
Were as you were the first

Adewale,
Where is the brother I grew up with?

^^ The image is clear, Nice poem.

Nice write up dear, every little thing is gonna be alright.

Harlos hmm,meaning thats not me o i dont have a brother. Smh you should know that poems are not necessarily about one self.

Am even annoyed at the moment,the injustice in the World annoys me
How can we not receive acknowledgements for our works?
Every crook is waiting to feast on it
We can't write without fear
That someone is waiting
Our works are now prey
To plagiarism
Free me from this Holy anger

Am dedicating this to clemzy16,great writer now his work has been stolen.

Every assistance will be appreciated,we can't continue to live in a World whereby people take credit for what they dont deserve.

He has opened this to complain,all he needs is support,when its time to reap the fruits of our hard work may we not be found wanting.

Every writer deserves
To be respected
For the hardwork
Must be rewarded
Plagiarists on patrols
Wouldnt your heart be clean
Knowing that people wouldnt come
For your neck one day
If you could actually sit down
And write your own works?
How would you feel
After building a mansion
Someone else claims ownership?
If you don't fear us
Fear the Lord
He will catch up with you soon.

^^ thanks alot lucentbeauty. Together we're strong.

as mysterious as u are,u are still precious.
For u comes around day after each.
some make use of u,while other plays around till u pass dem by.
Anybody that did nt use u well will have theirself to blame.
But still mystery dat is what i called u.
For u take my inocence as a kid away.
And u replaced it with responsiblity of adulthood.
You take away my black shining hair and replaced it with white.
Fear,that is what u impacted in me
because u make me closer to d grave.
People call u time,but i called u mystery.

ooooh dis is awful....its da negative implication of posting ones writeup on social network.
you be wise,

your daily meal,
when you are famished.

I don't post my vital works on social network. be wise my fellow writers.

u wlcm.....

Shes ma gurl, she ma pride,
i may b tough, but she makes me mild,
her smiles, just like a child,
her walk, majestic, like d gurls guild,
her innocence, damn, drives me wild!

shes pretty, no doubt,
her beauty, one of a kind,
i noticed her on d 7th boulevard,
her eyes, met me off guard,
for her name i asked,
and princess louissana she answered;
one of a kind, i reverberated!
Permit me to c u again, i requested.

A date, i was initiating,
dere was a guy, unfortunately, she was dating,
but her voice, to me, was intoxicatin,
so my love to her, i was insisting!

her lips tasted like paradise,
her hair, smelled so nice,
makin her mine wasnt wise,
cos i had just displaced a brother, or better still, made him my vice!
