a lone bird in the grey sky

-
A  lone  bird  in  this  grey  sky
is  again  asking  me  for  the  lust  of  the  lost
asking  me to  be  more  than  a  dot
a  lone  lost  speck  of  black  in  a  sea  of  grey
a  little  unknown  face  in  this  drizzle  of  madness


a  lone  bird  in  this  grey  sky
soaring  into  a  pit
diving  in
slushing  it


the  game  is  lost
a  lone  bird  against  grey  tides
a  million  grey  skies  pouring  sand
pouring  ice and  thoughts  of  grey
pouring  sounds  and  sights  of  baleful  grey
black  would  celebrate
but  this  grey  kills  the  thought,

please let me not grow

Time ticks. Slowly at first... put me at an eager stop Barely able to wait to grow Desperate for age Wanton for independence. Thus I have lived Thus I'm now dying I was eager to grow To I carried dolls when I was one I was desperate to cook So I mixed sand in a bowl as I waited to be called for dinner I was desperate to be grown up To be married And now I just want to go back It draws nigh everyday That place that I was eager to go And now I step back in horror As I'm forced to see my destination from here I wanted to grow I got my wish And now i desperately need to stop growing I used to love life I used to love love I used to love babies I used to want to be responsible But now I just wanna be a child again Play in the sand and not feel guilty I just wish to not know I just wish to not care I'm growing up Slowly but surely, I'm dying too I feel life seep out of me as it seeps in I feel the draw into the world of adults The world ...

not my plan

-
Four paths meet Where only three should. How did you get here I did not put you here You are not my design I Don't acknowledge your presence The tap goes on a while I see you I see you This is not the plan I won't stand for this!! No Angels bearing fire greet me Evil holds a rose to me I see you I see you Oh no This is not my design This is not the plan From a distance in the path I face I see a long trail of blood I see fingers, toes and teeth Wait! Is that an eye? Is that a lung or a stomach This is not my design This is not the plan A mural stands alone In the palace of my mind It had taken the very life Out of its subject by night I say move! Move away, move on The inner self is on a sleigh My neck is to the blade. How well or how far, This is not m design This is not my plan.

Buhari, Osinbanjo Take this oath

-
Take this oath, and let me be That the hunter not become the hunted Or lost in the woods if your maliciousness You would put the luminous dark at bay Behind the curtains of your madness. Take the oath just this once That the ways of the pawns be made green And the best of the knights not be enough For your words mean nothing And your grace saveth but nought Take this oath by the right arm For if you lose the word of the faith At least, ought we not save the lyric of the oath? So Take this oath in the name of the sages That your name too might echo through the  ages Surely my friend, the  sun will set One day all that will be left Is the madness of the sages And the infinite supremacy of truth.
