Can I ask you a question?
Can I Ask You a Question? Can I ask you, Akanke, why you harbor so much pain? Is it because Alao's words cut deep, and left a lasting stain? Can I ask you, Ashabi, why you hide behind a mask? Is it because Tunde's laughter made you feel like you didn't belong in the task? Can I ask you, Bukola, why you're haunted by the ghosts of your past? Is it because you're afraid to face the truth, and let love forever last? Can I ask you, Kehinde, why you're trapped in a cycle of hate? Is it because you'...
I Haven't Written Anything In A while, Are You Happy Now?
"I haven't written anything in a while, are you happy now?" Silence, a shroud that wraps around my mind A barren landscape, where words once left behind The muse, a mistress, who's lost her gentle touch Leaving me with nothing, but a hollow, gnawing clutch Are you happy, now that my pen lies still? Do you rejoice, in the emptiness that chills? Or do you weep, for the words that could have been? For the stories untold, and the dreams unseen? My mind, a maze, where thoughts once danced and pla...
"How time flies"
"How time flies" Time, a thief in the night, steals moments away Leaving us with memories, that fade like yesterday We grasp and cling, but it slips through our hands Like sand in an hourglass, lost in the shifting sands We mark the passage, with birthdays and tears With laughter and love, and all the passing years But time, a sly trickster, plays hide and seek Leaving us wondering, where did the moments sneak? We try to hold on, but it's like grasping air Time keeps on moving, without a sing...
A Soldier
"A Soldier" A soldier is not just a man in uniform gray, With guns and grenades, and a heroic way. A soldier is a mother, who lays down her life, For the tiny humans, who cling to her strife. She fights the battles, of tantrums and tears, Of sleepless nights, and endless fears. She charges into the fray, with a fierce cry, "Who needs sleep, when there's a diaper to dry?" A soldier is a memory, that stands guard in our mind, A sentinel of the past, that refuses to be left behind. It fights the...
Laugh and Share
Laugh and Share Oh, share my skits, dear friends, and spread the word around, Before my fame arrives, with its trumpet sound. Be the cool kid who knew me before I was cool, A hipster who discovered me, like a trendy cafe rule. My fame is a hungry beast, devouring all in sight, Feed it with shares and likes, and watch it grow with delight. I'll owe you one, or a million, for helping me on my way, Just don't ask me to do chores, I'll be too busy being famous each day. You'll be part of a secret...
I HATE YOU
"I Hate You" You saunter into the room, a vision of perfection, A masterpiece of elegance, a work of art in every direction. Your smile, a radiant sunrise, illuminates the space, While I'm left to wallow in the shadows, a dull, forgotten face. Your laughter, a melodic symphony, echoes through the air, As I seethe with envy, my heart a cauldron of bitter care. Your success, a towering monument, casts a long, ominous shade, Reminding me of my own failures, my dreams forever delayed. Oh, how I a...
A Peaceful Refuge
A Peaceful refuge In the quiet hours, when darkness fades And morning light creeps over the hills The world awakens, slow and still And for a moment, all is calm and deep Like a river's flow, life's currents slow And in the shallows, reflections glow The beauty of the world, in all its forms Is revealed in peace, like a gentle storm In this stillness, the heart finds its home A place of refuge, where love is grown The noise of the world, it fades away And in the silence, peace comes to stay ...
What is man that thou are mindful of
What is man that thou are mindful of? "Oh, Eternal One, Sovereign of the Cosmos, What is mortal man, that You are mindful of him? A fleeting whisper in the winds of time, A momentary flicker in the grand tapestry of eternity. And yet, You, the Omnipotent, the All-Knowing, Condescend to consider him, to cherish and to hold him dear. You, who fashioned the firmament, who commanded the sun to shine, Who breathed life into the nostrils of Adam, and formed Eve from his side. You, who are the Auth...

If I could trade the world for you
If I could trade everything I achieved in 2024 Tears fall like the evening rain As I whisper your name If I could trade it all away Every achievement, every step of the way All the triumphs, all the fame I'd give it up, I'd bear the shame To see your smile, to hear your voice To feel your love, your guiding choice 2024's accomplishments, they mean nothing to me Compared to the memories, the laughter, the glee We shared in times past, in moments so dear If only I could turn back the year But ...

SPARK OF SURVIVAL
Chapter 2: The Accidental Discovery The stormy night was a living nightmare. The winds howled like a chorus of banshees, and the lightning flashed like a malevolent deity. Kanaq's tribe huddled together, seeking comfort in each other's presence. As they waited for the storm to pass, Kanaq's mate, Akira, grew restless. She stood up, her eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of danger. As she moved, her foot knocked against a loose stone. The stone rolled down the hillside, coming to rest aga...

WHAT IS HAPPY ENDING?
What is Happy ending? In twilight's hush, where shadows dance and play, I ponder on the notion of a happy ending's sway, A concept oft-romanticized, in tales of old and new, But what lies beyond the façade, of this elusive, coveted truth? Is it a destination, a finale, a last, lingering breath? Or is it a journey, a path unwinding, through life's turbulent death? Is it a feeling, a fleeting high, a moment's peace, a lifetime's sigh? Or is it a choice, a perspective, a lens through which we vi...
A Lament for irreparable harm
"A Lament for Irreparable Harm" In darkened realms, where shadows lurk and creep, Evil's presence festers, a wound that will not sleep. Hatred's venom spreads, a stain that will not fade, Leaving scars that time cannot erase, nor tears invade. Murder's cruel hand has torn apart and slain, Lives shattered, futures lost, and hearts left to remain. The echoes of sorrow, a haunting, mournful refrain, As justice falters, and the guilty escape the strain. Tyranny's iron grip has crushed the weak an...

Tears Of Gold
"Tears of Gold" In Nigeria's delta, where rivers flow, A legacy of pain, forever grows. The tears of gold, shed for our past, Echoes of colonialism, forever last. From Soweto's streets to Congo's mines, Our ancestors' blood, forever entwines. In Ghana's forts, where slaves were sold, Our stories hidden, our voices cold. In Rwanda's hills, where genocide reigns, Tears of gold, forever stain. In South Africa's townships, where freedom's call, Echoes of Mandela, forever stand tall. In Ethiopia'...
The barking dog's lament
"The Barking Dog's Lament" A canine chorus, shrill and cold, Echoes through the streets, young and old, A symphony of envy's sting, As I rise, their discontent takes wing. With every step, their yelps resound, A cacophony of jealousy profound, Their tails once wagging, now hung low, As my success makes their hearts grow slow. Like autumn leaves, their pride withers away, As I bloom, radiant, in the fray, Their snarls and growls, a futile cry, Against the tide of my ascending sky. Their e...
Mining for pennies
"Mining for Pennies" In cyberspace, a promise was made, Hamster Kombat, a crypto trade, Mine and earn, with ease and speed, Fortunes awaited, or so they said. But launch day came, and dreams were crushed, The payout trickled, like a rusty hush, A fraction of hopes, a meager share, Left investors stunned, with empty air. Like a balloon that lost its air, Hamster Kombat's promise was beyond repair, The crypto rush turned to dismay, As wallets remained empty, day by day. The hamster's wheel...
If love was a person
"If Love was a man" If love was a man, he'd be kind and true, With eyes that shine like the morning dew, He'd walk with gentle steps, and a heart so light, Spreading warmth and joy, banishing the night. His touch would heal the deepest wounds, And soothe the soul's most hidden grounds, His voice would whisper sweet melodies, And calm the fiercest of life's symphonies. He'd be a warrior, fighting for what's right, Protecting hearts, and holding tight, Through every storm, he'd stand as a shi...
"Partners in Defiance: A Tale of Woe"
"Partners in Defiance: A Tale of Woe" In twilight's hush, where shadows play, Two rebels conspired, in a secret way. Their whispers wove, a web of deceit, As they schemed against, the light of what's right. With hearts afire, and souls so bright, They forged an alliance, in the dark of night. Their bond was strong, their will unbroken, Together they vowed, to leave the truth unspoken. But like a serpent, their gossip did creep, Poisoning minds, and hearts that did keep. Their words, a wildfir...
Yearning for you
"Yearning for you" In the echoes of memories, I hear your gentle voice Whispers of wisdom, a heartfelt, soulful choice To survive, to thrive, to face each new day Though your physical presence has faded away Your nickname for me, "AB", a term of endearment true Now a distant memory, a bittersweet reminder of you Only you called me that, with a love so pure and kind Now, in your absence, it's a heartache to leave behind Every step I take, a journey through the pain Finding solace in memories, ...
A Bond of Buffoonery
"A Bond of Buffoonery" Two souls, so vacant, like empty space Collided in folly, a wretched embrace United in idiocy, a perfect pair Against a common foe, they joined in despair Their minds, a maze, of meaningless thought A jumble of nonsense, forever caught In a cycle of stupidity, they spin and sway Like puppets on strings, in a foolish display Their words, a jargon, of hollow sound A cacophony of nonsense, echoing all around Their actions, a farce, a comedy of errors A pathetic spectacle, ...
Echoes of Ingratitude
"Echoes of Ingratitude" They lurk in the darkness, with hearts of stone Their souls are barren, devoid of love's sweet tone They take and take, with no intention to give Leaving emptiness, and a heart that's forced to live Their words are venom, dripping with malice and spite A poisonous concoction, that corrodes the light They speak with forked tongues, with a smile so wide But beneath the surface, a cauldron of hatred inside They are the masters of manipulation, with a skill so refined Weav...
The Mask of Sanity
"The Mask of Sanity" Mad men hate to be called mad men For in that label, their power ends They hide behind a mask of reason And claim their sanity, with each new season But actions speak louder than words, they say And in their deeds, their madness sways A subtle dance, of manipulation and guile A game of cat and mouse, with a wink and a smile They shift the blame, with a deft hand And make their victims, take the stand Their words, a poison, that spreads like a stain And leaves the truth, i...
