THE BEGINNING.

After the last WAEC
I sort of became a wreck
A couch potato
Gathering fat and ororo

Then one day, out of impulse
I wrote a poem of true loves
I asked for a rating
She said it was nice without waiting

I was a fool and asked for permission
To pursue this talent head on
She was wise, and did not reply
I was forced to think, why?

Then it came to me
Hey, this who i might be
I can do a lot more
Till my fingers feel sore

So, i picked my weapon
The mighty pen branded lucky
I picked up a note of inspiration
And then i said, let's kill

And so, i became a poet
That could play the clarinet
I am now here to display
While there tarries sunshine for hay.

THE SKY

So   vast and unlimited
So wide and blue
It stretches over my head
It is the sky, and it's true

Too often, i catch myself
Gazing out in wonder
Like the proverbial elf
At the unfolding of a little flower

It is my inspiration
My mentor's work of art
I am trapped in it's manipulation
Its exoticness rules my heart.

My heart longs for the sky
To fly and feel the rush of air
To experience before i die
My greatest moment up there

For  it is a desire of all men
To take off like the eagles
To soar, its thrill, no matter when
Before death, unable to rise like ghouls

Therefore, as my mind comes to write
As i prepare for the day in the morn
I swear to work, with all my might
That to the skies, i will always return.

OUR GREATEST ADVANTAGE

We are humans, we are wise
We are hairless, we are clothed
Above all creatures, we rise
The insect, our rivals, we have loathed.

Our eyes are a pair
Our faces are fair
We stand up tall
We give it our all

We can choose
We can make rules
We are conscious
We are serious

But above any animal
Lies our greatest advantage of all
It makes us different, it makes us special
It is our desire, to long, for more.

POETRY

Poetry is a picture
A product of culture
A prose allotrope
Presented in a colourful rope.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
A poem is worth a thousand worlds
For it is the language of the gods
A means to appeal to great lords

Poetry is life and death
It is ying and yang of earth
It intertwines every breath
It is as warm as the hearth

A poem brings peace to the soul
It makes one wise as the owl
It is brain food in a figurative bowl
To inspire the heart is its goal

Poetry is the flow of spirit
It the love we always meet
It sparks a flame in the heart
It is the grandest of all called art.

THE FUTURE

It's not so sure
It feels like acupuncture
Every minute, we enter it
But like a bottomless pit
It's always there
Unknown, exciting, with fear

A notorious man once said, you know,
You could win a million dollars tomorrow.
You could get get run over by a truck, like dough.
You could also win a million dollars
And still get run over
By a drunk truck driver

Science fiction tries to make us see
How the future may be.
But what they don't know,
Predictablity is future's no no
In the future, anything can happen
And that's why it's what i'm loving,

MATHEMATICS

Even from the utter beginning
The smallest of all superstrings
And the largest of galaxy rings
Exists through specific governing

The universe is a exhibition
Of a grander manifestation
A perfect preordered convention
A pattern in projection

We are put here to diligently observe
To seek understanding without reserve
To peruse the the vast knowledge preserve
All that we need is all that we have

It is mathematics that we must inevitably see
When we shine light and watch darkness flee
When we uncover the secrets of the universe
We find the beauty of maths

This world is a an exquisite fabric
The pattern is mathematical rubric
Mathematics is the ultimate interaction
The ultimate explanation

Without it we stumble in darkness
We wallow in foolishness
We are stuck in an everlasting free fall
Into ignorance, confusion, and more

Therefore we must embrace mathematics
We must follow its guide and logics
For it is the secret to more than our galaxy
And it exists. That we might see.
