POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Writing poems is the best way i express myself. Most especially as a spoken art
The courtroom
She walks into the courtroom, as she encounters whispers and stares. The charges she faces are true, and every- one else there is aware.
The prosecutor stands quickly, as he glances her way. Guilty!!! She is your Honor, and that i'll prove today. Anika is her name your honor and lying is what she do. If she ain't lied my name ain't Satan, and I promise this is true.
OH, but don't stop me now your Honor because i'm on a roll. Not only is the defendant a liar, but i'm told she's also stole. So I come to you today your Honor, and demand you rang the bell, to sentence the...

Don’t live to die
Don’t live to die
But die to live every second you live, and that you will live
Even in death
Don’t live to die
Because to live is to shine
And to shine is to break through
Dark days
Don’t live to die
But die to live your light
Everyday you live.
Remember this my friend,
The darkest nights
makes the brightest stars
Don’t live to die!
Shine your light!
But die to live every second you live, and that you will live
Even in death
Don’t live to die
Because to live is to shine
And to shine is to break through
Dark days
Don’t live to die
But die to live your light
Everyday you live.
Remember this my friend,
The darkest nights
makes the brightest stars
Don’t live to die!
Shine your light!

Dear self
Dear self don’t stay in toxic places trying to aid health
Don’t go losing your soul trying to gain wealth
Don’t go where you’re not welcome
Practice what u preach when you tell them
Careful how u choose your friend dem.
Just writing you a letter
In hopes that i make your good times better
I know you’re lowkey thinking your life is trash, but one day it will turn into treasure.
And above all I don’t ever want u to settle
You’ve loved this thing ever since you were little
Just keep talking to the Lord and though you sell yourself...

Look
I fought the lion and I survived
Look!
Look through my eyes
Tell me what you see
Tell me I can be
Tell me that you see the beauty
The boldness
Listen
Listen to the stories they tell
The songs they sing
Stories and songs of bygone yet still
The everlasting history of my ancestors etched
on hearts and tongues and skins
Feel the pride that radiates from our entity
See the act we are and we made
Unearth the history
Look!
AND LISTEN !
Look!
Look through my eyes
Tell me what you see
Tell me I can be
Tell me that you see the beauty

The everlasting history of my ancestors etched
on hearts and tongues and skins
Feel the pride that radiates from our entity
See the act we are and we made
Unearth the history
Look!

I wash my hands, I said my grace, what more do you want from me?
Tears of a clown, guess I'm not all what is meant to be
Shades of grey will never change if I condone
Turn this page, help me change, so right
my wrongs

Gone Fishing
All the poems i write has a style
not all of them, will all approve
is changing it really worthwhile
if a rhyme isn't theirs to remove
Some opinions i often find striking
what do they expect us to do
if a poem is not to their liking
Then it probably wasn't for you
It's like fishing alone on a pier
first you write, then cast in a pond you need patience for what can appear
it's amazing just what can be spawned
So despite wanting to quibble
i doubt they'll be getting their wish
since the fish that are taking a...

Money Can't Buy You Happiness
Money can’t buy you happiness, but neither can poverty.
One thing i’ve noticed quite sadly, it’s always the broke people that ever say shit like '’look how much money he has, but is he truely happy?’' well unless you’re looking through some other eyes, from where i’m standing I have no reason to believe otherwise. I know nobody goes to school for all these years just so they can emerge as a '’happy student’’. They’ll say that we shouldn’t chase money and make us feel like it’s a desire of the pagans but then after the prayers, they’ll ask for our donations. Is it the fear of failure...

Beyind The Smile
Behind the smile,
Lives are lost,
Necks are hanged,
Bodies are stabbed,
Snipers are drank...
Behind the smile,
Souls are drown,
Seen in lagoons,
Wasted years,
Depressed days...
Shouldn't we trust smile?
For people we see today might die tomorrow,
What's going on nowadays?
Is smile not legit enough?
Behind the smile,
Broken homes are not amended,
Cries of the barren,
Lost child, wayward children,
Conflict in the home,
"How is your family?"
"My family is fine..."
Yet we smile...
Behind...

HOW I SEE YOU ( A Poem dedicated to my newly found Love ''Favour'' )
When others were after your figure,
I went after your nature
When they desired your butts,
I clamoured for your muse
When all the desired was your boobs,
I often desired to stare at your bruise
Because they teach me a lesson worth living for
When others loved your make-ups
I'll often stare at nature's gift of dimples
When others chose lust
My way was love
When they were after your flawlessness
I would sit and listen to the lyrics of your flaws
When they quested after perfection
I listened to the rhapsody of...

Happy Birthday To Me
Another year to remind me of how old I am, another year to remind me of how fortunate i am
To wake up everyday, breathing
To be alive physically and in spirit
Not many have the chance to live life how they wanted, some had theirs taken away from them, others, fear keeps them from living, they're forever haunted
Life takes unexpected twist and turns, if it didn't, from the mistakes we've made.....how would we learn?
Birthday only comes once a year, be grateful, thankful, live and laugh as much as you can, time waits for no one, it'll be gone in the blink of an eye.

What Really matters ?
I ask you hypothetically, what matters?
Work equals pay
Which equals stuff
And more and better pay
Equals quality stuff
But all stuff nonsense
So, I ask you
Does anything you buy or aquire matter?
Material is bought
Burrowed
Then stolen
Now life is caged
And imaginary birds fly
So i ask you
Do they matter ?
Hearts are comforted
Loved
Then broken
So, i ask you
Does love matter?
Stars and the moon
Before sun rises in the morning
After ungrateful breaths are drawn
By those who...

UNSEEN
you are trapped in a cage..
no one sees it.. not even you..
you don't know what it's made of..
you don't even know where it came from..
but you feel it.. it's all around you..
it is full of strength
that it forbids you to move freely..
it separates you from your wisdom
and it strangles your thoughts..
you are robbed
but you don't know what was taken..
you're in a place
but you don't know where you're heading..
you don't even know how you got there..
or who has brought you there..
you know you've been...
