To Beautify an Ugly World
We are better together

The world is a broken place,
A broken society with broken homes
of broken people who parents a broken child
with a broken soul.
These words occupy an unspoken space,
null and void like the beginning;
but in the beginning was light
now is darkness shattered everywhere,
society of shambles, you can perceive
the massacre in the atmosphere.

It used to be a blissful beginning,
A time when the life was blooming,
Flawlessness in its fullest form,
Like the rise of a dazzling dawn.

It was indeed a beginning,
When all were men
and every were humans.
A time before the time
humans became Barbarians.

A time flowers grow in peace
and fields don't accommodate war.
The time living in harmony
was a thing to die for.
A time conjugal was bliss
now Unity wallows in disbelief.

What is Charity when hatred
has taken love out of us,
It has killed enough of us
Wields the resentment that drives us
Togetherness has become bitterness,
this taste for animosity is diverse

How can we make peace
when every piece of us is shattering?
How do we understand
that the real enemy is misunderstanding?
Probably because we don't understand it,
For this is the knowledge
That gives wisdom to understanding.

Instead of kill them or destroy them,
Let us rebuild and reforge them,
Instead of kill them or destroy them,
Let us heal and restore them,

Love is a choice and hate is a decision,
War is a voice and peace is the sanctuary
that brings every piece of it to extinction,
Let us choose peace and put every piece in a place,
A place of one love, one soul, one body,
one sprit-mind, a place of grace.

There is strength in number,
therefore, humanity should be one,
Like a call for one world peace,
let love bring us together as one,
Like the rainbow, every colour
beautifies the sky,
Every race should be
in the race to win oneness;
this is how victory is won.

In unity and love, all is fair
The good spirit,
don’t let this ghost disappear
The world is a broken place
but we can stand as one
to fix the atmosphere.
To take a swine out of the mud;
is to beautify an ugly world.
How can we know peace
if we don’t know how to live together?
What good is standing alone
when we are better together.

Butterflies

-Ayomide D’Great

Butterflies in my belly, fill me to stupor,
Made in the Image of Olodumare*,
may this beauty lead you to suitors,
Lead us not into temptations,
just tell us where they are,
we shall find our way there;
What a butterfly feeling in the atmosphere.

Butterflies in my heart,
Make me music like no other,
Let me dance to the sweet sounds of my lover,
My heart beats for you forever,
Let these undying beats beat me to death like Cain did to his brother,
Butterfly bliss- take me away from our country border

Butterflies in my brain like a tumour,
True feelings - make it feel true when it’s false like a rumour,
Make me smile, make me laugh;
then tell me how sensational is the sense of humour,

Butterflies in my eyes, that’s the Apple of my eyes,
let me see the unseen, go easy on me, easy on the eyes
Tell me lies and let it live long in my imagination like a dream,
Bring it to life, in my eyes, the reality is a win.

Butterflies in my head, I carry these feelings in my head,
Like a stretcher carries life, as a mother carries her child
This inner child in outer space, playing to the obvious,
Prince charming with the regal grace, His Highness is tremendous;
mine is contagious…

Butterflies in my mouth,
Let the beautiful feelings all out, let it all work out
Speak to existence like prophecy,
let it rule over my thought-process like monarchy,
every word is parody; every line is a dynasty.

Butterflies in my windpipe,
Let me breathe – I’m suffocating from this mystery called life,
Butterflies give me a new life;
like ‘’look! I just married a trophy wife’’

Butterflies all over my body
Make me blossom to glory,
And this is how to rewrite the story,
From hard to fall to how harder you fall,
Your essence changed the analogy,
Butterflies all over my body,
Somebody! Examine my anatomy,
This is a lot like love,
The light that shines in a world
where darkness is abode…

To Her who’s difficult to Love & to Him who finds Love difficult

- Ayomide D’Great


In the name of Love I speak,
It tastes like songs of sorrow on my lips,
You sing to the Karma of bitterness, the genesis of everything sweet,
It becomes a chorus to the world, rhythm on everybody’s hips,

This is a script I have read too many times,
How you give yourself to ruins too many times,
Again, and again and again - too many times,
This thing that doesn’t have life takes breath out of you; too many times!

It is vanity to water flowers when the garden is a desert,
If the input is the output; how rich can this make a peasant?
What is true love when the truth has lost essence?
They didn’t lose love, they only lost efforts,

To be found, first, you need to be lost,
Wear a skin that understands the skeletal system of love,
Every sign is a message; every message is a sign,
For this is the healing that refines time,

To whom it may concern,
Like water, see your reflection in the one you choose before you confine,
In the name of Love, I speak;
to her who’s difficult to love and him who finds love difficult…

We put prayers into these supplements;
hoping they turn to spiritual condiments,
to feed crumbling elements,
whose straying souls are evident.

We sprinkle life into this moving body,
so that death is swallowed up in victory,
the morning star when the night falls off grace,
clarity that brings faith out of the maze,

soothing in turbulent times,
a baptism of newness, dawn of a new sunshine,
cleansing iniquities to sanity,
a new man is dug from inanities,

relics of sacred entities,
birthed from the secret place hidden
in the ignorance of humanity,
a holy sacrament to purify the filthy,
an art of a new thing.

The rescue at the pace of falling,
a dying life when death was worthy,
it brings us closer to our God,
immerse us into the mystics of His love
makes us remnants of immortals
to lead our feet whenever we stray from the altar…

It is your beauty that overwhelms me,
it soothes perfection; it is beautifully overwhelming,
how you carry yourself with regal grace;
the way you wear this prettiness like your face
how you speak as sweetness slips out of your mouth,
blissful beyond boundaries; without any doubt...

I mean, what you mean to me is what I mean to write,
– sunshine by the day, a tenderness by night,
a diamond precious enough to brew elegance,
it is unexplainable how your aura brings opulence,
you're God's dream come through, every man's reality from above,
and when God thought of a beautiful woman to make, it was you He made up,

you are my conception of real love,
a sweetheart in a bitter world– a gem in a human form,
it's never too late,
let this finish line be the start of a new race,
to find a common ground and call its heart our new place,
solace of mercy, favour love and grace...

I hope this brings you a beautiful smile
and i hope you give me your heart in a short while...

All my love,

https://www.instagram.com/ayomide_dgreat?r=nametag

The world awaits the beauty of Ayomide's poetry...

A sanctuary of solace
that bring blossom to dark days,
a gift of nature to human race
dazzled to unearth the joys of a beautiful place.

The garden of God,
a work of mysterious wonder,
awe is how they crave to
gallivant in this garden like God,
a monument of memories & wander.

A piece of art – an art of war,
the death my undying love die for,
a pearl that prettifies the essence of life,
beauty beneath your being where nature's nectar lies.

Sweetness to the soul,
an open heaven where cosmic galaxies glow,
hollow be thy name, your wetness makes them fall like rain...

Your flower, an altar summoning praises from thirsty tongues,
an undifiled diligence – devoted as monks,
so soothing like goosebumps on tender skin,
the aura it gives the world is everything...

scandal strayed; it was a parade of parody,
a local man of God was fired for being a Waterloo of misery,
his branch couldn't bear fruits, his vineyard is Eden
— a close; an open wound of jeopardy,
converts should be converted into currencies;
for this was expected of his treasury.

When your soul burns for God, let there be meat for burnt offerings,
the scriptural lines make them align — the shortcomings are long-suffering;
of a planted branch rooted to sprout in flocks,
to take from the hungered to feed the greedy; with honour in tons,
to build monuments inaccessible to its congregation,
but to say these things are self sentence to eternal damnation,

the way that seemeth right, good that bleeds evil,
destruction is the end thereof, the road it leads to,
littered hatred for the love of God,
at the end of the service, the outcome is the income,
for there shall be remittance to the powerhouse above.

Bring your little for ample; the Lord loves cheerful givers,
this is how the 2nd coming became the return on investment;
nurture the body of heaven with bride price; for 7 virgin divas;
the swindle justifies when every believing head has a mental sentiment.

This day, your hard-earned sweat is the blood in the body of the temple,
a sermon no clergy will truthfully tell you.

all that glitters are not gold but all gold gilts,
the blissful bloom, a treasure house that opulence built,
like lilies of Silicon Valley set on Beverly Hills,
the living reality of dying dreams.

And not having money is the root of all evil,
the Cankerworm that makes human beings weevil;
the pretty penny; the honeybun, the sweetness that waters the hive,
the foundation that make up a beautiful life.

Reach for these stars and be rich as the Galaxy,
quench your thirst; feed your fantasy,
poverty is a choice and prosperity is a decision,
for karma is a carrier of regret and regression.

What is life without a meaning?
it's like a dead-end that refused to live in the beginning,
everybody breathes but not everyone lives,
life is what it is but you've to live beyond the beliefs... Be bling!

have you seen midnight turn midday at 3AM?
An eclipse that blossom into a twilight in mayhem,
the battle of colour supremacy on this canvas called skin,
a place where livid & vivid daydreams,

tone it up till the fat lady sings,
in flash complexity, completion switches like mood swings,
so, the popping melanin brittles away,
when the cosmetic magic starts to decay,
she won't understand how much her humanness is blessed;
until "hey beautiful!" Becomes a beautiful mess,

If she knew her skin is God's graffiti,
she wouldn't have fallen for the lotion like gravity,
you traded this black gold for a glittering wane,
& now your skin looks like a roasted plantain,

how do you honour your heritage when the heirloom has passed away?
death of a living spring; vapidness of sun rays,
to the dying beauty living for days and days;
perhaps, one day, nature takes its rightful place.

The news of scarcity became a nuisance,
how the cry of my people echoes like sweet songs of grievance,
good people, great nation;
bad heads, failed statements,
human wrongs becoming human rights,
"let them suffer"; the living reality of dying dreams,
nightmares in broad daylight.

My people obeys! They master how to endure slavery rules,
and when situations get rough, things just adjust like my people do,
My people obsessed! Eaten up by this fatigue of shackles,
in democratic tyranny my people arrays; in pains they're paid.

How many lines shall we cross before we get crucified?
This humour is dark like the night before yuletide — every present is a curse from the past;
like hunting delinquencies of a juvenile;
i'm from a society where crisis is an opportunity to monetize,

where thirsty kings turn their islands into a drought,
we then throw in the sponge only to let our water go south,
we lose our strength to weaklings,
leave our destinies in hands that old age has imprisoned,

these ills flaps its tentacles,
for how long shall we queue
— our hopes praying they become a miracle?

how much more can history get pathetic?
Culture dies everytime a body thuds &
it's being thrown into the Atlantic,
this is how much the waterways ate our brothers,
declining descents; the last of our dying forefathers,

history enveloped our chronicles & fed us with blackmail,
in painful tears they chorused, in shackles & chains; the ship sailed;
with stolen art & freedom,
the waters waved goodbye to a people & identities that may never return,
they found a new home & lost legitimacy,
became unknown as they fought to own a face like pageantry,
the rise to relevance; the fall of a dynasty,
home became a place of estrangement,
as tradition brittles into dark abolishment,

the black race is a timeline of confusion,
a school of thought with too many strayed institutions,
like broken puzzles scattered everywhere;
tales of damaged stories; wanting its justification to be aired,
so they sound like favoured fugitives;
who sought an asylum to flee from their stranded relatives,

how sweet or sour,
grace found a worthless like me,
at least,
i'm not in my alienated home where an opportunity is oligarchy & chances are slim,
the evil that once was ripped my pedigree off me,
what then is nostalgia if I don't understand its definite longings?

To retrace our steps back home is a long walk to provenance,
on a lost train of thought found between ancestral derail & providence,
we are trying to live past the wounds but its effects still ripples,
for our existence is a memory of a lost people...

After a long while, multi award winning Creative Writer Ayomide Inufin D'great hits the Literary space as he pens societal happens in 3rd world countries especially in Africa which is an extract from his coming collection of spotlight African poems...

Below is the link to the spotlight poem — Murderland:

https://www.nairaland.com/7330921/spotlight-poem-murderland-ayomide-inufin

Check him out on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/ayomide_dgreat?r=nametag

The land is green,
too green to incubate into maturity,
a beauty to behold held in abject travesty;
the theater where dreams die on the battlefield of reality,
an island of monopoly;
where a few eats the fruits of so many;
& penury is placed in the hands of the majority,
the dividend of democracy — a sheer inhumanity,
the land is poison & survival is scavenging,

this is murderland!
A place where demons have dignity,
& evil is given a safe sanctuary,
immorality is a flawless anarchy,
sinlessness in the society;
skewed to suit iniquities,
we speak but our mouths have become a graveyard,
peace to the masses, belligerent against humanity,
what is sympathy when sorrow is joy making mockeries?
Consuming like an infection; the weakness of others is energy,

this is murderland!
Where the youths are vilified
for standing against insanity,
in here, seeking justice is like hunting for vanity;
the blood of causalities are karma of national calamity,
we share unending grief over the internet & that's where it ends,
hence, treason is he who let the horrible truth vent,

this is murderland!
A habitat built around self;
only to neglect thinking beyond self;
a selfish sweetness that defines prosperity,
& prosperity is how much flattery you get from the society,
this affliction is a living organism in our system;
originality frails, now we have to wear the pretence,

the land is green,
green enough to birth newness,
brains & brawns of its offsprings
can spring forth vigour,
from a great mess to greatness,
this is murderland!
where we can put the past to rest;
with a present time determined enough
to wake up to a better tomorrow.

There goes my heart beating again,
After melting moments nutured the pain,
I thought you've put yourself together
and redesign yourself
out of vulnerability; after it all fade away.

Shut the voice that says again,
"Go for it!",
It has no gain.
It was stunted remember;
Like a plant placed in a closet,
it came with agony like merry comes every December,
there was no sunlight in this domain,
drought drizzled; dryness fell upon it like rain,
and there it remained in pain,
in pain of its beauty being detained,
refrained;
and restrained;
while it could have flourished.

Oh yes my heart!
It feels pleasant when being treated like royalty,
But don't you forget, its intention is to be seen,
to be felt like touches of a tender skin;
Your secrets are safe with me,
Let's not spill the beans on how you were broken,
good intentions and bad decisions that were chosen,
Well, I'm not the type that digs holes of the shameful past,
fetch the shame and throw them to your face;
the uproars and downcasts;
Yes! We should probably walk through this path,
No, I won't do that.

Ye fragile part of me shaped like an upsidedown pear,
How beautiful are you when you wear and tear,
It's high time you lived again and breathe new air,
Do not loose your guard in the quest to find a guard.
Instead, be your guard, your guardian angel, put on the unassailable armour.
Stay strong in silence,
Till you create a lively ambiance.
Keep on holding on,
Until you never have to hold on...

she came like breezes by the bay
till she blew my entirety away,
charming as a spell, an incantation
i can't pronounce,
an artwork of nature in whom my ecstasy is found,

attentions are drawn but yours is beyond a sketch,
the reason I'm lost in the tightness of your skirt,
fond of the bloomingness of your chest,
your behind put my past behind,
and behind you is a playlet of pleasure,
precious as Persians' treasures,
platinum of crude carnality,
i see no flaws; blinded by the dent on your personality,

i see glory,
the poem written on your body,
a place of grace, the temple of praises,
hot as hell like the habitat of Hades,
your body is a cuneiform of fine words
these words carry life like a stretcher;
a world without end; blessings without measure,
an attraction to the mind, a repellant to the soul,
the bottomless pit that makes me whole,
a masterpiece that leaves me in pieces;
to find the puzzle in the magnificence of beauties,

your possessions are possessive,
blessed is your power that heavily oppresses,
like Silicon Valley on Beverley Hills,
healings to a paling patient, an aspirin in a dying pill,
you wear dresses that would make every line vivid,
to make every man stupid for cupid,
to take my eyes off you is to take my breath away,
the whirlwind that blows my entirety away...

BEHIND A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN IS HER BACK LIKE HUNCH

a wake up call from cultural slumber,
eyes opened to unveil her hidden hamper,
out of the cage & curiosity,
to own a voice in her society,
of beautiful brains, egoistic elegance,
slim surrogacy, fat bank accounts,
vibrant voices... superficial shenanigans,

they woke up to become a woman of dreams, ethics & values,
big aunties with big antics & hullabaloos,
to become omegas of the alpha male,
HR with a company of policies,
to own themselves, musical chairs, silverware... to be golden as hell,
sexists who have casual sex then go online to swindle what sex is,
to be undomesticable — wild & free,
to be herself; to be her glee,
to marry her wills; conjugal of a beautiful bliss.

So they say;
empowered women empower women,
to give her skin & make her human,
freedom of freewill; the traditional theatre of slaughter,
patriarchy — father of all murder,
feminism; a liberation from conventional jargon,
she's the testimony of an escapist,
a lost cause who found its missing keys,
the rise of new beings — the power & glory of becomings,
to crumble customs & break the bias,
hence, yesterday is a closing coffin, alas!

She had to wake up from cultural slumber,
to realize the dream that seek answers,
of queries subtly sleeping in the consciousness of mankind,
to gaslight the beacon of womankind,
the rude awakening of dormant dreams,
to align the lines & to put the past behind,

so, behind a successful woman:
is a will that couldn't power down,
a broken barrier, breakthrough that refused to breakdown,
dreams of travesty that became the reality of fantasies,
she woke up to realize she can become a great many things...

MODAFOKA

This is the omega of grief that comes with a pound of relief; of emotions and feelings drowned in the ocean of belief; that the faith to stay afloat is to stay alive, (dying), i thought life is beautiful until I realized that living is an ugly duckling.

At first, it is everything you die for, alas! It nothing worth dying for. This is how bosom buddies become bloody enemies, the positive aura that brews negative energy, intimacy wanes into enmity, from sweethearts to bitter strangers, the love of your life becomes the hate in your heart, this is a crazy life, sanity of humanity, sadly, we live in the prime of this reality.

Love is beyond care and cuddles, If I knew I'll be broken, I would have been born a puzzle, love stories have changed from falling madly in love to falling for mad people, thus! We all live the sequel. After giving something worth taking, & taking something worth giving, it then become crumbs when the cookie crumbles — a bodybag when the chips are down; you won't die but you'll see death while dying & live a ill life in your place of valley.

You may not understand your past until they hunt you like predators, turn every beautiful thing to an incinerator, from a swimming pool to a cesspool, then you begin to take snail steps in Goliath's boots, a mahogany deflates into a root, then kaboom! You become an awakened monster, a religionized holster; who houses a weapon of mass destruction; to take down every pretty-looking thing, now, you're everything you spat against — against your wish... And now, you're a ModaFoka.

This is the omega of grief that comes with a sound of relief; of a life drowned in the depth of the belief that living is another way of dying, a pattern of divine decree, so know that when you're living without dying, you're only dying without living, the monster they made to drive us is the freewill roaming through our nose — back & forth. Vanity is what I call it when I don't call it life, ModaFoka is what I him when he thinks he is a master of his mind...

EVERY MOVING THING IN LAGOS MUST QUEUE

busyness of business roads,
long lines of sloomy silverware waiting to rush for gold,
to a destination of seasonal pause and dramatic screenplays,
in a city with a slim sanity & a conventional craze,

the center of excellence; citadel of the streets,
stay off it if you're not a mix of fads & wits,
hustle is the game, bustle & be paid,
whichever ways, these are commonplace of popular hearsays,

of a big place smaller than its people,
of rush hour in slow seconds & the effect is ripple,
ankles, wheels & other moving things are preys of this procession,
so, how do you make a U-turn when there's no where to turn?

Everyone is sane but the acts doesn't say the same,
the bridges, the lagoons; have all danced to the zany tunes,
survival of the fittest — waiting dishes a delicious meal of fitness,
to meddle with the lane, is to pave an eternal gate way,

these oddities have earned normalcy,
routine of an everyday society,
the karma of too many go-getters stuck in a city of opportunities,
listen to the music — the traffic jam plays out on dreams and realities...

The light of my life you are,
a diamond that shines like a star,
that piece of bliss that makes life peaceful,
the alpha of your beauty, the omega of everything beautiful.

the brightest light on the darkest day,
a happy place when joy frails,
this is what you put on that covers the nude
of trying & turbulent times — the veil that couldn't unveil Veronica's flaws,
the rise of Victoria's falls.

like a bird obeyed gravity, i fell for your smile,
a blessing from up above, a soulmate to walk down the aisle,
i wear it like skin and take it in like a duck takes to water,
It's everything to die for, a life to fervent lovers.

your smile like Mona Lisa's,
the reason I'm somewhere between dreams & seizures,
your smile my pleasure,
a soothing relief of a great splendour.

your smile is a resting place,
fortress of mercy, favour, love & grace,
the course is to be a blessing,
when the world comes crashing...

Wane wallows weirdly from the dry land of Sokoto
down to the creeks of Calabar,
the promising broke the promise as
shooting stars couldn't shoot for par,
in a land where dreams wither
and passion couldn't prosper,
a land where fortune is a trade by batter,
the fatherland; a quicksand of murder,
motherland; a fallow that impedes her offsprings from springing further,
beneficial is being official, no one is really a lover,
forgive a sister, don't blame a brother,
poverty lives in the spine,
so, these lives couldn't live in their prime,
hope don't live here, despondency is the only sign,

so, how do we live when survival is suicidal?
When welfare is warfare,
how do we thrive in this battle of denial?
we rest in the bosom of Abraham only
to wake up on the thighs of Delilah,

now, the dream, is to
sleep at the shores of Badagry
and wake up on a white man's port,
to post pictures of living a resort,
home has become a deficit at hand,
it's better to squat in Scotland,
the reality of a dying dream,
transformation from an African to a human being,

after surviving these fractures;
no one desires to return after departure.

Like black stars that shine on a blue moon,
the gloomy light that hovers in a dark room,
of a decimated beauty in puzzled ruins,
a beautiful science of firebrands and waterloos.

On a golden day, love comes like a stampede,
a likeliness to fall for it is only a detriment to your own fit,
this is another nomenclature for hypocrisy,
fruit of futility; vanity to humanity.

Truelove doesn't exist among lying lips,
neither does it live in a closed eyes looking for grief,
neither is it a cherub among demons,
or a halal for stealing hearts and diamonds.

When love loses its publicity, its essence becomes a growing euphemism,
in a world where real is rare and hate spreads like evangelism,
of claws and fangs masqueraded as Romeo and Juliet
today's devil is evil clothed in velvet.

It's hard to smell the roses when the breath is afflicted,
dying/dead feelings come alive when life start to look perfected,
love becomes a stranger when its nature has no place of purpose,
but we're blinded by glitters in this sun coast,
reality is a con artist; the society fed us a role play,
in this world of ours where love only visit on birthdays...

Me and mine is made for you and yours,
A course of blessing; a blessing of course,
My match made in heaven, a gift from above,
The essence of my feelings —
my definition of truelove,
That one thing that brings two together,
Our love is bottomless so, I'll be falling forever.

Forever isn't long enough to verbalize my love for you.
The length of breath isn't enough to savour you of a truth,
My best attraction; my worst distraction,
Take me to your fatherland; where mother nature worships your beauty,
The cleanliness of your skin preaches purity,
And your body glorifies God's dexterity.

Tongues speak diversity,
But love is the language of unity,
So falling in love is beyond understanding gravity,
But the knowledge in comprehending complexity.

I fell for you from a great sky,
Far beyond where birds and limits fly,
Everything that has life speaks
But love don't have a language...
