Amazing, your way with words is inspiring. You would definitely not be forgotten as soon as you are gone because you have written something worth reading. So, it keeps you living.

A poet is like a painter or an artiste with so much words, simple or complex to build an amazing castle. Ur poems are ok but I think you should reduce in trying to make the wording rhymes cos sometimes it becomes so boring 2 read and might even destroy the original content/context of the poem (you can try and improve in ur use of metaphors, Cos 2 me is a perfect replacement)...I actually got tired of reading the first few poems which I had to scrolld down to read the rest with less rhyming which were beautifully and excellently made. To write is to have an imagination that some people would see as being weird once in a while and yours cannot be far from it and I bet if you try your hands on writing novel you might actually get a shot at it with this your musing wey you don take scatter my head finish.

I NEED JUSTICE
***************
The joy of who I am
has taken its toll on me
my humanity abused
my innocence shredded
*********************
My unclothedness is put to shame
***********************
an injury on my person
my pants is a flag
modesty, virtue, humility
Where did you go?
*******************
I walk, bow, in shame
********************
Pity has fled for good
inspite of who i am
the sorcey knife
has pierced my frail heart
**********************
My soul is bleeding
******************
My one and only
We danced and sang
Had I known?
I would have fled
****************
Come to my rescue
*****************
I have lost my way
My compass is faulty
A dark forest i walk
My eyes see no light
******************
I need direction
*******************
The pain within me
Makes me a living - dead
It just dawned on me
I have lost it
*******************
It is gone for good
*********★********
I need a gun, matchete
Where will I get it?
I need it fast
To kill this bloody beast
********************
I have had enough
*******************
It is time to light,
my candle in the dark
for I see no more
than darkness in me
*******************
Sun, Moon , shine
********************
My only companions
Shine all together
Make this planker blind
but show me my way
********************
Make Him dance
****************
The mad dance
For he must dance
The dance of the beast
The bloody beast unclad
****★************
He must pay
My gun is loaded
I fear no one
for I am water and fire
*********************
Clear the way, I am coming
*********************★
My heart beat so fast
I have lost the strength,
to move further
I need justice
****************
Does justice exist?
****************
Who is the judge?
to precide my case
I need no one
for I am my judge
***★***********
Justice must prevail
******************
Give me what I want
Justice alone I seek
for my heart to be free
so I rest in peace.
*******************

THOSE DAYS....

Those days are gone//When we danced and sang//We played in the sand// Like snails on the sea shore// Our minds were mild//Our thoughts were holy// Our discretion were innocent//We played in the twilight// When the moon was full// The merry go round// Our dreams were wild// I could be a Doctor// I could be a Lawyer //Whatever I want to be,// my being could be // The thoughts of today// Was never displayed//For we were kids,// We had no worries// We prayed for rain// We wanted just fun//As naked as we were//Our concern were less//For we never cared//Those days are gone // When we cried for toys//Our mothers were there// To sooth our pain
We laughed, we smiled// Our faces were gay// The hope of tomorrow // Was who we are // For we were called,// The leaders of tomorrow// Back in the days........

WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
As the day blackens to night //
My feelings for you reignites //
This bumping heart of mine//
As finally found a sign//
Is it a sign of weakness?//
Cos am becoming helpless//
My shyness is at its fullest//
This feeling is the craziest //
My tiny little heart//
Has falling for you overnight//
What else can I say?//
But wait for that day//
When my eyes sees you again//
I dont mind if it pains//
All I want is to have you//
Either as a friend or as a boo//
My faces lights with smile//
For I know it is not a crime//
I don't mind how you look//
Cos for me you are cool//
The mention of your name//
Sets my whole body aflame//
Who can tell me what this is?//
For I have never felt like this//
Tell me in my ear//
So he does not hear//
My feelings for him, he doesn't know//
I would tell him when it grows.//

REJECTED BY LONELINESS
The morning dew brews on me//
It trickles down my bald head//
And set my feets in motion//
I stagger, I gather my wobble legs//
Unwillingly, I join the thronging crowd//
The wind blows me fiercely//
In infested mud I land//
I leap front and back//,
I gather my legs in pain//
I scream, I shout, I curse//
but my voice has lost its sound//
The cloud has become pregnant//
I joined the crowd under the shield //
My helplessness is abused//
I struggle for my dear space//
In a jiffy, am out, under the current //
A food to be consumed by wolves//
Is who my humble self as become//
My wildest thought as being floored//
By those who consider me unholy//
I join the train again//
Leaving my woes behind//
My cloth has lost its fitting//
For I have lost my composure//
My heart has forgotten its purpose//
The will to leave, I have lost//
Six feet down, I lie//
I shut my eyes for good//

Why would you think that? The people I'm looking for know what this is about. I'm looking for people who want to ACT and make a change.

WHO AM I?

I look within my heart
I want to know who I am
I search for myself
I look beyond my person,
I stare at the mirror,
I dont know who I see.
I see an imagery,
I ask myself "who is this"

I need to unravel,
This mystery, facing me.
A human with no sense
that appeals to the rest,
I need an answer,
Who am I?

I search my diary,
Hoping for a clue.
I search my wardrobe,
Hoping for a robe,
To cover my unclothedness,
For, I feel unclad.
A being with no cover,
Exposed to the current.

I feel lost in the crowd.
I need an answer,
Who am I?
Someone please answer,
Help, I am losing it,
I dont know my name.

I see mouths moving
I see hands shaking
I see legs jerking,
Let me out of here,
out of this flesh, I live
I need to know myself
I need to know me
I need to know my person

It just dawned on me
I have been searching,
for what I know.
it is inscribed on my palm.
My name is a Girl
And I am deaf and dumb.

MY WORLD......

A world filled with mystery.
Life itself is a fallacy,
Unexplained by mastery.
An haven with no theory,
Yet we speak much vocabulary,
while people live in penury.
************************
What is the essence of living?,
Is a question worth repeating.
Religiousness has got no meaning,
In the heart of the disbelieving.
Enjoyment with no stopping,
Is theirs with no reminencing.
**************************
The country I was born,
Is a place of love forgone.
Humanity rendered bygone,
The future left for the unborn.
By leaders with unspoken intention;
Eating deep into our pavilion.
***************************
A state governed by the constitution,
Ruled by the upholders of corruption,
Politics now a game of prostitution,
From party to party; an occupation,
Our ancient institution,
Are on the verge of extinction .
******************************
A land with much treasury.
It is ruled by monarchy,
Yet there is anarchy.
Unfortunately there is no remedy,
Till we change our philosophy,
Then, there will be harmony.
**************************
