Poet Introduction

Hello sister; can I have a word with you for a second
I see you as a good girl but other thought you 've got a different dimension
You dressed decently; putting a hijab on a skirt and blouse
But you 're something else when you 're outside your father's house
You 're a wild girl outside; but your neighbours taught you 're a decent girl
Half-bad and half-good like she 's stuck in bewilderment
She 's on the street scuffing; sniffing and puffing the cigarette
Looking for exotic-guys as she surf through the internet
She dress solo; she wears...

With you
With you my heart is home
With which brilliance and beauty roam
Where dream is filled with fulfilling hope
Without you I’m broken, leaked, deceased
Call the doctor, plumber, the priest
No amount of troubleshooting can get me fix
With you I’m strong and powerful
With you by my side; I cannot fail
Coz you’re the fuse to light my veins
Without you I'm low on oxygen
Like my life is a leaked cardboard box
Without stars to burn out the void
With you I’m a poet
The whole world knows
For his inspiring quotes...
With which brilliance and beauty roam

Coz you’re the fuse to light my veins
Without you I'm low on oxygen
Like my life is a leaked cardboard box
Without stars to burn out the void
With you I’m a poet

Wandering heart
What should I ask from you Lord?
I don’t know how to pray
How do I fall in love?
How will I treat my sane?
Take my bruise and pain away
Take me to a better place
Cleanse my path before I stray
Lord, do not let my dream facade
In the land of the lost, that’s where I roam
Wandering alone looking for greener land
Lord, let me witness the feeling of being at home
Before my heart and soul depart
Love is what my heart is yearning for
Hate is what this earth shows me
Friendship, relations, I don’t need more ...

Do I
Do I still make your heart beat forth and back
Do I still make your sky blue or black
Do I still have a place in your heart
Or insecurity has shattered the place; since I'm afar
Do I still have a home in your heart
Or the house that we built 's being torn apart
Do I make your sky cloudy; or do I make it rain
My love never change; but do you still love me the same
Am I still the star that beautify your moon
Am I still the petal that make your flower bloom
If I fall; will you catch; or I'd better get a parachute
Am I stranded; or do you...
Do I still make your sky blue or black
Do I still have a place in your heart
Or insecurity has shattered the place; since I'm afar
Do I still have a home in your heart
Or the house that we built 's being torn apart
Do I make your sky cloudy; or do I make it rain
My love never change; but do you still love me the same
Am I still the star that beautify your moon
Am I still the petal that make your flower bloom
If I fall; will you catch; or I'd better get a parachute
Am I stranded; or do you...

My Fatherland
My fatherland
"I am blessed"; says our fatherland
"I am the giant of Africa"; remarks our fatherland
“We will curb every corrupt personnel”; lied our corrupt leaders
"No place like home"; opines our elders
"Great people, great nation"; merits our media stations
"Blessed with natural resources"; proclaims our teachers
"All is well"; prophesizes our men of God
"Invest home"; idea our business men
"It will be better"; endures our youth
"I will bring change"; promises our snail-like president
“Next level”; campaign our level-0 party ...

Brilliant Beauty
Mama, I found a girl
Like you said I would
She shows me every galaxies inside my heart
Like the star does to moon
Even if she wasn’t near
Her image I see everywhere
She’s the only thing I see when I’m dreaming
Her whisper I hear when I’m listening
Thinking of her put my mind at peace
My heart without her love is just a tin
My brain without her memory is just a bin
My life without her is filled with filth
I never had such desires before
I never tried to meet someone this hard
Her beauty is the only thing I...

Turmoil
Boom here
Boom there
Doom; fear
Hummed tear
Kids orphaned
Man sacrificed
Wanderers shoot dead
But who cares
I’m not safe
I need a place
Where there are no guns
Where there are no bombs
Where the land is green
Where the sky ain’t grey
Where movement is free
Where the air ain’t thick
Yes, I’m leaving
Freedom is what I’m seeking
No, I cannot leave
How about my wife and kids
I once had a home
I was once known
For my wordsmithing and prose
I once had dreams and hope
But now, all...

Real Music
Real dope rappers
Who write good flows
Not those whackers
Whose IQ ‘s low
Real emcees
Not them fake gees
Whose violence fancy life they pretend to live
In their video scene
Make them obscene
Rap shouldn’t be getting kids trapped
In a junkie life
Imagining wrongly outside the map
Now most of these kids had swapped
Their real life with that rap-gee crap
Things need to be done asap
Before things get out of bound
Before these kids gets out of hand
Rapping should be about feeling
Happening...

The woman of my rib
The woman of my rib
The one that makes me complete
The woman of my dream
My semi; my eve
She’s sleek and black
Fair or partly dark
Tall and slim
Doesn’t need a hill
To bring out the curves of her hips
The woman of my rib
The one that makes me whole
With the heart that gives me home
She ‘d filled my every hole
With the smile that gives me hope
She’s thick and white
Short and fat
Doesn’t need a cream
To bring out the beauty of her skin
The woman of my rib
Is intelligent and wise ...

Falling
I fell in love
Striving to get back up
Struggling to get away
But damn! I never stand again
She fell in love
Loss the remote control
To her heart and soul
Unable to feel whole alone
We fell in love
Tried hard to avoid the void
Brilliantly paralyzed; beautifully disordered
Falling parallel towards each other
All those time
I try
To dust myself off and stand
But it seems I’m forever strand
All my life I’ve never been this
Addict to someone’s bliss
You’ve got that something that I believe
I’ve been...

The woman I love
The woman I love
Feast amidst the star
Jealoused by the beauty god
The star wish they shine as her
The woman I love
Bask in the morning light
Wrong is not a word in her world
Everything she does is right
The woman I love
Is poetically romantic
Her words were the rhythmic rhyme
That make my heart beat a thousand times
The woman I love
Makes my heart beat back and forth
And she possess the torch
That guides me home when I’m lost
The woman I love
Gorgeous and mightily blessed
Sexy even in ah hijabi dress ...

Chess with the devil
And so I walk in
Into the devil’s inn
And Aye! I found the devil sitting on his usual chair
In that dark room filled with smoky air
Still seated facing his golden chess
Thinking who’s next he’d trick to hell
Knock! Knock! Is anybody in
He already knew it’s me
He pull his metallic door stylishly
Raising his hand Hi-ing me
Ehy man; here you are again
Tell me; this time, what’s your aim
Tell me; without me; what have you attain
After all; you understand my style of game
He offered me a place
To sit...
