DESPERATE PRAYERS

Dear Paraclete,
Say those soothing words again
To my soul
I need all the insight i can get

Blow into my mind
All the peace it needs

As you've always done
Please, guide me

OH!! NIGERIA: An INVOCATION to THE GOD of OUR FATHERS

  OH!! NIGERIA: An INVOCATION to THE GOD of OUR FATHERS_ Chukwu Okike Abiama- the greatest deity of all time Your unquestionable existence we extol Our fathers, your faithful worshippers Must lie uneasy in their graves What dost thou behold  Through the atmospheric strata A people in darkness thicker than the bulrushes of _Igodo_ lake  Ocean mix of blood and tears Hail and wails of the destitute For greedy sons of Belial  Serving their bellies and not us Constrain our destiny This is the cause of your wrath Oh! hearken to our pleas born by the wind  Tribal bigotry plagues us  Like a rotten ulcer on the dorsum of a diabetic's foot  Our stench exposes us to carnivores Please, come to our rescue The die is now cast Strengthen us to reclaim our wastelands To rediscover the unity in WaZoBia May our unborn offspring not remember us for shame *Ise!!!!!

DEAR SAPPHIRE

-
Dear Sapphire, My pen is alarmingly weak and rusty. It's been a while I wrote and my mind is blank. This coffee is bland, Please take no offence. This poem is about me, but for you.  Life is a wave, sometimes you crest, other times you trough. I hope my physics is accurate? Coz, this time it is not a crest. Waiting it is. It's like two waves cancelled and the lines levelled out. But you gonna be careful coz, it could easily trough. So you have to set your face continually to the sun, Maybe it's retained warmth will make the night not so cold and lonely. The advice is simple; believe in waiting. Be strong, be steady; O dear, but there is a myth in being strong. Faith can seem fleeting at times and man want to just let go. But we have to keep the faith steady. We've got to finish strong. We keep believing that all things work together for good. Lemme end my diatribe by saying to you Princess Sapphire, Finish strong. Steadily cross the line of your program. Keep the faith....

PENITENCE

-
 PENITENCE  Though dark the alleys,  I will follow the light. I will find the light, Where darkness assay. O dark soul of mine, Yield all dross of thine. Vacillate not tender; Be firm thou slender. My soul, my soul, See the cross. My heart, my heart, Recall his pain. For sweet porridge, I sold him. For dark passions, I denied him. Call me Judas, Call me Esau, Call me Demas, Call me David. Remember my penitence  Hagia Sophia. 8-05-21
