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!!!!!

Sing a song to my scars, Please tell the drummer to strike the spot of my pain. Replay the scenes of my failures, Sing the dirge and write the epitaph, I really can't live. Don't hide the truth, My condemnation yet in my mother's womb, My self atonement impossible, My freedom tied to a wood. Sentenced and serving, there is no end in sight. Imprisoned yet self rigtheous, Self justification, bland soliloquy, Making an empty case to the universe, Living in my delusion, Courting with death. Truth knocks Tap, tap, tap, Understanding dawns like the day, Reality tries to speak, then stammmers, Pause... Then it blunts, Who can deliver me from this body of death? H.Sophia wrote 12-02-2020
He that fears something, gives it power over him. Fear; brittle agitation, sore trepidation. It has a way of emptying courage, Fear; Forget Everything And Run. Crunchy Images, desperate awareness, Sight on the sides, hope on the precipice. Recall your failures, remember your defeat, Tears: Can I find solace in hell, Hell No! Fire burns Courage. Fear; Face Everything And Rise. Till death do apart. HAGIA SOPHIA
