Naija. the guest of the ace king

-
to  the  fallen  stars  of  horus,
theres  a  waiver  here  in  morus
the  ace  of  cards  is  giving  a  party
for  the  doomed  saviours  of  thebes
as  they  dance  naked  around  aphrodite's  table
their  pale  buttocks  giggling  and  shinning  in  the  light  of  the  night
listen, oh  fallen  stars  of  horus
naija  is  on  his  way.



Naija,  son  of  the dusty  wet  clans
born  in  sprig  and  named  in  autumn
Naija,  daughter  of  the  last  north
moon  of  the  day
sun  of  the  world
he  who  drools  oil  in  his  sleep
and  spits  green  in  his  wake
Naija,
descendant  of  the  the gods  of  humour
known  for  his  smiles,
and  his  cunning  too
let  someone  tell  zeus,
that  Naija  bends  to  no  one
let  someone  tell  the  gods of the  moonless  suns
that  Naija  has  taken  house
with  the  sons  of  the  world
at  the  head  of the  table,
the  soul of  the  party
Naija  looks  at  the  ace  of  cards
they  both  k ow  where  the  night  is  going.

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.

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.

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
