YOUNG AFRICAN POETS

◾ We is me We is you We are an entity that transcend religion We are the living, that their loyalty exceeds their national bond ... ... ◾ We are the people We are Nigerians We are the government We are are the oppressed, yet We are the oppressors ..... .... ◾They try to use us accomplished their goal And still imprisoned us for that Their promises are still ringing in my ears With no one to hold account of it ..... .... ◾They said they were the superior But we are the most superior Cause we voted them there So be wise and vote wisely And forget unfulfill promise ...... ..... ◾ They try to break our spirits They try to make us to lose, Force us into a demented system With no right to choose But We conquer Yes We prosper Freed ourself from the shackles of societal etiquette Cause We are Kings This we decree they make the rules yet break the rules by themselves .................. ............ ............. #Vote_wisely #Get_voters...

BEHIND THE MASK Hiding the hurt, hiding the pain  Hiding the tears that fall like rain.  Saying I'm fine, when I'm not So I wore a mask that always smiled,  To hide my feelings behind a lie. sometimes is good to be undefined than defined  sometimes is good to be unknown than known  leaving the world in doubt about you, So I wore a mask that always smiled, To hide myself behind a lie I feel that everybody is better than me  And that I can't do anything right.  This is how I've felt my whole dang life So I wore a mask that always smiled, To hide myself behind a lie

IT IS FINISHED [I]  Death and Grave  On that path of ignominy we trod.  Tho swept off in the wave of novelty,  You reign in the heart of our throats.  How can we forget so soon your cruelty?  More than an escaped beast with grown claws,  Angered by the shape of his chain's mark on his fur,  You have dealt us treacherously by our flaws,  Making new the sloughs on our ulcerated core!  How can we forget so soon  How you plagued us to die daily?  Sober like melting rubber in coal,  How could we ever forgive our weaknesses?!  War without end it was,  A sorrowful sorrow solely soled.  Threading our fatherland like servants  With crosses heavier than a rock could bear!  Now we know, you have faced your death!  We lie no longer in your druery gruel so cruel!  Saved by grace to tread on all threads as free men!  Oh death, we fear thee no more! oh grave, Damn you!...

Inseparable Heart Is it unconditional love? That have flow more than oceans and river. The uncontrollable feelings, emotion & love, That will never be lost. I see joy, love and right, That will shine each day and night. Peace, wisdom, knowledge & understanding, That will live without ending. Pain, sorrow, burdens,will not come there way, Struggle, fear, challenges will be taking away. Best couple, I wish them forever, Comes rain, sun shines they will be together. With love, they will fill each others heart, Long life to this inseparable heart.

                     Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.   There are two days in every week   that we should not worry about,   two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.   One is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares,   its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.   All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. Nor can we erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone!   The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow, with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control.   Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor   or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise, and until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet un...

              The days not worthy   living   The day where the only way   Is enduring and moving forward   The days where yesterday’s pains   Have sown their paws into the present   The days where scars never heal   But spread and pollute all things positive The days where people don’t each others The days where killing and shading of innocent blood Have becomes the culture The days where we the less privilege Has left behind with heart broken and depression The days where winter lasts for all time   The days where joy is simply   A word and never a feeling felt   The days where all dreams seem shattered   And never worthy   pursuing   The days where the only company   Are the wishful thoughts thought   The days of woe   The days of disappointments   The days of ...
