UNFIT

More confusing
Than convincing

More repelling
Than appealing

More concealing
Than revealing

More killling
Than healing

More pessimistic
Than optimistic

More plastic
Than realistic

More so rusty
Extremely lusty
Than loving.

DETERMINATION

Stopping at nothing but the best
Sure it's sweet to pass life's test

Impediments though a pain
Courage is sure and plain

Hard-to-crack has become of humble tactics
Proving wrong all critics

Low spirit forever forgotten
Fear dead and rotten

Inspiration leads to determination
Determination bears satisfaction.

TYRANTS

Glorious leaders

Power seekers

Visionary opportunists

Riding on white horses

Running down expectations
Manifesto hookers
Loyal in daylight
Nocturnal dictators.

Rapacious beasts
By polls molified
By riches propelled
Foes of progress
Foisted by dogma
Tutors of ethnicity
Tyrants, graduates
Of neo-colonialism

HIDDEN PAIN

Staring with a smile

On your eyes that reveal

So much agony

Of the weeping heart in you

Standing erect and straight

On a limping bent skaleton.

Pretending nothing is astray

Hiding pain

In pearls of laughter,

on you, I see a nature's

Good course

In you, I feel fate's

Misfortune

You, a modelled idol
Of smeared happiness.

DATE WITH GRANNY

Once had a date with granny

Expecting she had something to offer

From her generous cashful coffer

So broke  was I, and needed some money

So didn't mind her stale honey

Close to her on the BMW's backseat

I felt the warmth of her treasures

Fondling her never to quit

I forgot to take neccesary measures

So I followed her deep into the pit

Down her old and sickly ventures

With my own youthful feet

I danced to the tune of a death beat.

INTIMATE ILLUSIONS

I

In your sleep dear, I heard you talk

Talk of mysteries I didn't fathom

Talk of endless life and love

Darling, I heard you talk

Of the reserve in your soul

Specially preserved for me.

You talked of cool sunny beaches

A romantic breeze to soothe our company

But, where were those beaches

You mentioned them, shouted

With an intimate smile, "Hey, see there"

You even carresed me soothingly

In your sleep.

In your slumber you vowed

Swore by your grandmother's name

Never to abandon me

My love, in your dream trip

You promised to be sweet to me

To be my maiden forever

Before you hugged and kissed me

In your sleep.

DESTITUTE( For soldier-boys of D.R.Congo and Sierra Leone)

Destitute
Product of human
Vengeance
Young tender finger
Firmly on the trigger
Desperate
Unmothered, untethered
Soldier-boy
Dogmatized
Dramatizing real
Slaughter
Rocket grenade
On the shoulder
Drugged disorder
Destitute
Massacre tailored
Murder oriented
From peace alienated
Destitute
Destined to servanthood
Hooded in inhumanity.

MY POLITICAL MIND

My political mind
Has turned me to one
Who doesn't mind
One with a dead conscience
One suffering from memory lapse.

My political mind
Has made my sense of reason hard to find
All I think of  is me, me......and only me
Me and mine, not we
Even cold-blood inhumanity I can't see.

My political mind
Has turned me to a beast
Clamouring in a human blood feast
About my neighbour I care the least
So much lost in tribal mist.

My political mind
Has me in a death ring like a pawn
Fighting my fellow paupers
Yet I don't care to moan
That overdue is our democratic dawn.

My political mind
Has me standing by my foes
Those very demagogue politicains
Responsible for IDPs woes
So to the Hague they shouldn't go.

My political mind
Has propelled me to the streets
Shouting, not caring about justice jist
Just the jingle of pennies
That propels my fanatical mind.

My political mind
Has made me a vampire of some kind
My political mind
Chains me like a slave
Oppressed yet lacking liberation crave
My political mind
Makes me kill
Then shout in discontent
When truth beans are spilled
My political mind
Makes me think Hague is vague
My political mind
Is the reason I'm blind
Oh my political mind
Is the only sound reason
I'm politically blind.
