Discovering the Magic of Poetry and Writing
"Poetry and writing are the mirror's reflection of the soul, capturing the beauty and turbulence of the human experience in the dance of words."
Ridding Against the Current
#Poetry In the heart of the city, on a one-way street, A soldier rode his motorcycle, his fate to meet. Arrested and detained, for breaking the law, But his action speaks volumes of what we all saw. In a country torn by chaos and strife, Where the normal has vanished, like a fleeting life, The soldier's defiance, a mirror of our land, Where rules are broken, by a powerful hand. He rides against the current, a lone silhouette, A symbol of resistance, we cannot forget. Yearning for the day when...
"When Smile Is Costly"
#Poetry In Nigeria's land, where dreams should soar, The youth are left to wonder what they're living for. Politicians feast on our shared wealth, Storing riches for kin, as if it's their health. Graduates wander, jobless, in the street, Hopes and talents wasted, no role to meet. Money disappears, like snakes in the night, Or vanishes with monkeys, an astonishing sight. Those who dare to speak, to expose the lies, Are silenced and hushed, told to avert their eyes. The youth look on, with hear...
Scars of Victory
#Poetry In the tapestry of life, we bear our scars, Each mark tells a story of our battles won, Like etchings of victories eternally ours, Testimonies of battles fought and done. As storms of 2023 raged fierce and wild, Challenges and hardships tested our might, Yet through the darkness, God gently smiled, Guiding us through the never-ending night. Deals were taken, trust was broken, hearts scarred, But God intervened, His grace restored the lost, Revealing deep secrets, loyalty and disloyalt...
Rhythms in African Waters
#poetry #AfricanMusicUnboundPoem #WatersofAfricaPoem In the heartland, where the Nile's waters flow, Rises a melody, Africa's ancient glow. In the river's murmur, in the raindrop's grace, Lies the rhythm, in water's tender embrace. The Nile, a maestro, in the northern expanse, Carrying the music, in its aquatic dance. In the river’s course, in each falling rain, Life’s melody pulses, a heartbeating refrain. Southwards where the Limpopo sings, The drumbeat resonates, and the marimba rings...
An Ode to Truth and Contentment.
#poetry In a world of fleeting words and empty vows, Where promises break like fragile boughs, I urge you, youth, to hold your tongue with care, And speak with truth, whether foul or fair. Do not make promises you cannot keep, For hollow oaths will make your conscience weep. Instead, let "yes" mean yes, and "no" mean no, In honesty and candor let your character show. Youth, beware the siren call of pride, The urge to reach beyond what you can abide. In moments of trial, be discreet and calm, ...
Whispers of Time
#poetry In the chill of December, what does January seek? Is it a glimpse of the future, or a memory grown bleak? Why do we sense the past in the present's gentle sway, As if time were a river, flowing in a mysterious way? Why do we find virgins in a maternity ward, Where new life begins, and innocence is adored? Is it a paradox, a riddle of life's design, Or a reminder that purity and love intertwine? What secrets does the wind carry from distant lands, Whispering tales of forgotten empires...
Echoes of Yesterday
#poetry Echoes of Yesterday In the twilight of dusk, we reminisce, Of days gone by, in memories kissed. The laughter echoes through the years, Like a gentle breeze, it perseveres. We are older now, than we once were, Yet the past remains, a comforting blur. The playgrounds we roamed, the streets we knew, In our youthful hearts, forever it grew. Friends we cherished, like stars in the night, Their faces etched in our mind's soft light. But time has whisked them, like leaves in fall, Leaving b...
Rise Again - A call to Youth
#poetry Young hearts, full of fire and dreams, Don't let setbacks douse your gleams. When the road ahead seems steep, And your spirit begins to weep, Remember, it's not the end, but a bend, Just take a breath, and try, one more time. In the face of doubt and fear, Let perseverance be your seer. Though the path may twist and wind, And leave your hopes far behind, Gather your strength, don't resign, Rise up again, and try, one more time. When the world seems cold and gray, And your dreams begi...
A Tribute to Our Fallen Heroes
#poetry In the hush of twilight, beneath the veil of stars, We gather in solemn silence, nursing our bleeding hearts. For the ones who've fallen, those braver than the brave, In honor of your sacrifice, this dirge, we humbly grave. Oh, noble souls that dared to touch the face of war, Who walked into the fury, who knew what was in store. You've traded earthly presence for a memory, But know this well, oh valiant ones, you've shaped our history. We sing for you, our heroes, who answered duty's...
