I had a dream the other night,
I did not understand
A figure walking through the mist,
with flintlock in his hand

His clothes were torn and dirty;
As he stood there by my bed,
he took off his three cornered hat
And speaking low, he said,

"We fought a revolution
to secure our Liberty
We wrote the Constitution,
as a shield from tyranny

For future generations
this legacy we gave
In this, the land of the free
and the home of the brave

The freedom we secured for you,
we hoped you'd always keep
But tyrants labored endlessly,
while your parents were asleep

Your freedom gone - Your courage lost
You're no more than a slave
In this, the land of the free
and the home of the brave

You buy a permit to travel,
and a permit to own a gun
Permits to start a business
or to build a place for one

On land that you believe you own,
you pay a yearly rent
Although you have no voice in choosing,
how the money's spent

Your children must attend a school,
that does not educate
Your Christian values can't be taught,
according to the State

You read about the current news
in a regulated press
You pay a tax you do not owe,
to please the fools who rule instead of leading

Your money is no longer made
of silver or gold
You trade your wealth for paper,
so your life can be controlled

You pay for crimes
that make your nation turn
from God in shame
You've taken Satans number,
as you traded in your name

You've given government control
to those who do you harm,
so they can padlock churches,
and steal the family farm

And keep our country deep in debt,
put men of God in jail,
harass your fellow countrymen
While corrupted courts prevail

Your public servants
don't uphold the solemn oath they swore
Your daughters visit doctors,
so their children won't be born

Your leaders ship artillery
and guns to foreign shores,
and send your sons to slaughter,
to fight other peoples wars

Can you regain your freedom,
for which we fought and died,
or don't you have the courage
or the faith to stand with pride

Are there no more values
for which you would fight to save,
or do you wish your children,
to live in fear and be a slave

Sons of the Republic,
arise and take a stand
Defend the Constitution,
the supreme law of the land

Preserve our great Republic,
and teach each God given right,
and pray to God to keep the torch
of freedom burning bright..."

Amen my dear

Many of our love ones are off to war
They leave us behind for distance shores
They seek out our enemies to even the score
But some of them we may never see once more

We give them our thanks and pray each day
For God to watch over them while they are away
We know they will do their duty for they are brave
To fight those who would make of us their slave

It is the Armed Forces who fight to keep us free
For they are willing to die for you and me
They will do their duty until victory is achieved
Only then will they be allowed to grieve

They are my heroes, so young, so brave and true
Fighting to protect our flag, the green, white, green
It is through them the Nigerian Spirit is renewed
And recognition for their sacrifices is long overdue

Honor them by praying for them
Living their dreams as they go to defend us
Living in peace and unity to wax strong
For through this their strength are renewed

Their wives are left behind
Children watching as their fathers go to the battle front
With no assurance they will return safely
Pray for them to sail home in peace

Our pride and safety they fight to protect
Who will protect their family?
Only God
For they are our gallant soldiers

how do you guys see the poem?
whats your opinion?

I cannot walk in her footsteps
I know she was your first love
But I do not harbor any regrets
I'll be true as the stars above

The way you sometimes look at me
Betrays your state of mind
Don't compare me to her memories
Just forget her and be mine

I know I cannot take her place
I cannot compete with a myth
But I'll be patient for your sake
And in time maybe you'll forget

lol....

Am laughing though cos some comments are really funny

Thanks to all the advises, i thought it wise to post it here also so that we can also have a glimpse of it...you can do me the favor of sharing it to the groups that seemed deem to you

Presh900:
Mr Prophet, Mr Traffick Controller, Mr Oversear, Mr GreenLight, i go break ur head for you..

What's my offence?

Rejected, ignored, resented, torn
Wondering, wandering, faltering, forlorn
You force-fed me snakes when I asked for bread
You licked me with flames and Left me for dead

I’m not angry

Tormented, frustrated, exhausted, shattered
You thought of yourself and nothing else mattered
I lie here in chains awaiting my savior
Instead you pass on by, there’s nothing to say here

I’m not angry

Crawling, slouching, in here and out there
Nothing to do but sit there and pout here
Cradle me close and burn the noose
It’s buried in my neck, but it’ll come loose

I’m not angry

You’re asking me why
And I’m showing you why
You wanted me to die
So give up the lie

Listen to my cries—you just can’t ignore
The pain I endured, and I’m begging you for more
Because next time you will very well see
That the persistent flames you use—you love…are Me

And I am not angry
— I am furious

Warhawk said so

Life is too big for all birds to fly yet the smallest when they fight each other

These are my pains
It flowed like the rains
Heavy as a flood
Never ceasing
Never easy
Like a moon I was doomed to watch and stare
In great despair

I stood amazed but desperate
Watching the amazing things of life unfold
But never amused
Like a man I stood
But I was a youth with a root
Bought with a price
Brought out of bonds

I stumbled to be humble
Troubled but never fumbled
I trundled through a tunnel
Passed through tumult
Turmoil was my fate
Yet never fumbled
But humbled
Faith was tried by pain
Gain remained my goal
Going forward was my aim
I fought forces of taint
Forged was my sword
I clinked to my faith
And never let go

Tried and tasted
Yet never tired
Tied unto my faith
Bind unto my cause
Cursing my curse
Sorrow meant for me I sold
They fainted instead

Then did Joy untapped came
And joined unto my cause
Like a tap root it was
And tapped into my soul
Tapped and stayed
My cause became clear
My strength renewed


Now I have conquered
My crown I bear
Clouds I gather
My stains turned to gains
My flaws to flowers
Blunders to prosper
I rejoiced for making my pains my gains

splinz...if you can't beat them, join them, console her or join her in weeping

Its an expression of someone who is heartbroken and forsaken.

WHat comes out of a broken heart? omly sadness

Sure nobody cares? not even the so called friends?

Should i keep waiting?
Alone in the lonely miles
Without a sight of your presence?
Without any presence to give it essence……
All i have while waiting is your word
The word of hope,
You told me to wait
Wait and never give up,
You turned my heart,
Made me believe in promise and fate…..
Promise known Fate unknown
You gave me your word.
Never let your tears fall
this you told me
promised you won’t make me cry either…..
What is happening now?
The unknown fate is becoming known…
known promise turning to unknown,
Your word breaking my walls…….
My world will soon crumble.
You were the image of my shadow,
The marrow that my bones once had and were strong…
Your promise the light in my darkness,
But these left by your leaving……
Like the strength of Troy which left because of the death of Achilles…//…
Like Romeo who was covered by darkness the moment his light was taken from him,,,
he stumbled to his death
So were my strength and light taken from me,
Yet the wind is telling me to wait
You left without saying goodbye,
Knowing i won’t let go should you do that,
You thought you were doing me good by doing that….///..
No you dug my pit….
How will i walk down the lonely and dark miles all alone?
Alone without your smiles to make it worthwhile…
How do i rebuild the broken walls without you by my side?
Am afraid to try cos’ it will definitely be a waste and arousal of more pains…..
Will the hope of tasting love again survive this recession?
the love once desired by men,
the promise once envied by all
Our promise.
Now i stand in the desert,
Waiting alone in sadness
just for your return…
with a question, ”Is there hope for my waiting?”…..
Any hope of you returning?
Will my walls be rebuilt and the flag of love lifted again?……
will i taste true love again before i leave the earth?
Catch my tears before it reaches the ground…..
else the walls will scatter..

She's the girl, who hides behind a smile everyday.
She's the girl, who has a tough exterior.
But that's not who she really is.
She's the girl, who has a lot of problems,
But doesn't share one thing.

She's the girl, who keeps everything bottled up.
Sometimes she just needs someone to talk to.
Someone to care about her.
Someone to listen to her problems.
Someone to hold her when she cries.
Someone to love her for who she is.

Nobody knows the real her.
Nobody knows what she has to go through everyday.
Nobody knows what she has to do just to make it through the day.
Nobody knows that she's the girl who isn't who she says she is.

she's the girl who will cry herself to sleep every night,
Thinking nobody cares about her.

Looking at the stars in the twilight sky…..
Thinking of you as the days pass by…//..
Leaving our love in the hands of fate,
Sitting here, alone I wait……

From twilight to blue, the sky grows black,
Remembering our time while thinking back.
Leaving our love in the hands of fate,,,,
Memories in mind, alone I wait.

Feeling you as your no longer there,
Images of your face still fill the air……
Leaving our love in the hands of fate,
Reaching in the darkness, alone I wait.

I close my eyes, to ease my mind,,//…
Between my love is only time,
Leaving our love in the hands of fate,
Alone I dream, alone I wait.

thanks for the advice dear i really appreciate

he hardest part of any friendship
is when it is time to say goodbye,
and even though I wished I could make you stay,
I know I got to let you spread your wings and fly.

For life is a journey that needs to be traveled
and I am certain you'd make it through,
I just want you to know and never forget
that I will surely miss you.

So follow your heart and never give up,
as dreams and wishes do come true,
for I know that someday we'll meet again,
so never forget I will be praying for you.

Fathers are wonderful people
Too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
As often as we should...

For, somehow, Father seems to be
The man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
And nurses all our ills.

And Father struggles daily
To live up to "his image"
As protector and provider
And "hero of the scrimmage"

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,

But if you look inside Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
And as "soft" as he can be.

But he's so busy every day
In the grueling race of life,
He leaves the sentimental stuff
To his partner and his wife,

But Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
And accolades of praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness,

And like Our Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be always on our side.

He never complains of being tired
come rain come sun,
His mind fill with the thought
Of how he will make his family proud.

He goes hungry just for the family to eat,
The best gentle man to ever live,
His heart so refined and defined,
Father is ever loving.

He misses the love of his kids,
warmth arm of his wife,
All because he aspires
and desired to make his family proud.
