Real Name TERSOO (Truthfully Enduring Revolutionary Smart Outshining Oppositions)
IF ONLY
If only I knew my affectionate words could mean so much to you
I could have written a book of love with every line idolizing you
I should have been telling you how beautiful you are at every single hour
If only I knew what Roses meant to you; I’ll always send you bouquet of flowers
Feeling blessed, let the world know; you made my world turn sweet from sour
Your body; the quintessence of beauty my mortal eyes has ever seen
If only I never failed to treat you royal as deserving of an adorable queen
I should have known better, when you are in love it’s no crime...

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
I know what sometimes you ruminate about me;
Pardon my annoying incursion into your mental privacy
But you’re the reason why I always share my poetry
Now I’m thanking you for always reading my works fervently
Don’t ask me how I make these words rhyme; it’s a mystery
So perplexing; you’ll be surprised that I can read your mind
Now you think I’m crazy just coz I'm addicted to writing rhymes
But I can bet you’re struck with awe reading these words of mine
You wonder what inspires me” the odd question I ask myself all the time
Looking inward I see God’s...

YES! YOU!!!
i][i]
Friends come and go” but only true friends stay real with you till the end
Don’t be fooled by the love some profess when they hate you but pretend
Your friend is not your sister or brother sometimes you don’t share close ties
Your friend is someone who believes in you and tells you the truth without lies
Your friend can be a stranger but someone who you can trust with your life
Your friend is not someone who only shares your joy not moments of strife
Your friend is not necessary whom you both knew each other from childhood
Don’t be gullible to trust...

I WISH THERE WAS “US”
I WISH THERE WAS “US”
I wish I could write a poem about you & I been a perfect pair
But there are no sweet memories between us to recount or share
I wish you were that one and only adorable girl in my world
Nothing would ever take your place not even diamonds & pearls
I wish you were more understanding and cool with your temper
I swear to reciprocate it a thousand fold with unmatched tender
I wish you had known me intimately better than you presently do
Our hearts beats miles away but mine leaps in joy thinking of you

QUESTIONS
Life is a question; no one can answer it...
Death is an answer; no one can question it...
My curiosity is like the lust for knowledge I’m hardly satisfied
I often find myself asking questions whenever I feel mystified
If life is divinely preordained, are the evil actions of men justified?
Don’t blame me I’m only human seeking to learn something new
Pondering about some things in life, I keep searching for clues
I might not be the only being feeling such; you may share my views
Do you seek to know the interpretations of dreams and if they come true? ...

I SALUTE
For all my comrades in the struggle lending their voices, Viva la revolucion
This is for you willing to make sacrifices for the oppressed people’s liberation
This is for all fallen heroes who pay the supreme price for peace in our nation
This is for every youth who is willing to fight for his rights without hesitation
This is for the courageous who will never back down no matter the intimidation
This is for the enlightened liberals who know the struggle is for our redemption
This is for the righteous interceding for us in prayers to God for His intervention
This is...

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
(Book of Instincts)
You needed a role model and a father figure but the man wasn’t there
You looked up to yours moms but she left you without love and care
You feel like you are all alone in your darkest moment of despair
Nobody seems to understand your daily grievances and plight
Depressed and lonely most times you can’t find sleep at night
You contemplate suicide but deep down inside; you know it ain’t right
Everyday life for you is like a battle and you’re getting tired of the fight
Fasting and praying while the pastor keeps asking you to pay your...

MIND PHILOSOPHY
I’ve studied the blue print of Africa’s forgotten and unsung revolutionaries
I spark conscious thoughts of revolutionary ideology amongst my contemporaries
Always setting in motion a train of thoughts that reawakens heroic tendencies
Self liberating words interwoven explicitly to enlighten minds in my sentences
Blowing off dust settled on facts as I’ve searched deep quoting from lost diaries
Of war veterans, true Pan African heroes revealing tales of the past centuries
In my mind voyages I’ve been to the era of noble men who...

PIERCING YOUR CONSCIENCE
So many youths nowadays would prefer keeping up with the kardashians
Than knowing the truth that affects them due to misconduct of politicians
They would rather spend hours on queues to get a celebrity’s autograph
Than show up for a rally supporting a revolutionary change across the map
Some peeps don’t have a mind of their own, except imitating some crap
All new fashion trends and lifestyles alien to our cultures they easily adapt
Every day I see ignorance becoming widely accepted as a social norm
Kids nowadays seem to know everything but lack discipline in every...

CRUCIFY ME
Crucify me coz I choose knowledge and skills over mediocrity
Crucify me; I refuse to be silent over the precarious state of insecurity
Crucify me coz I see no transformation except people dying in abject poverty
Crucify me coz I stir deep resentment against any corrupt system passionately
Crucify me coz I refuse to be enslaved, I choose freedom, over mind captivity
Crucify me coz I’m ready to die in my beliefs for better lives for all humanity
Crucify me coz I reawaken the consciously dead to face the facts of reality
Crucify me coz I rather die on my feet than...

THE BOOK OF INSTINCTS
Chapter 1(The Parable of the King & I)
With power similar to lightning and thunder bolts my words take form
Whatever I utter has the power to create or calm down a raging storm
Like Moses parted the red sea I raise my pen towards the gloomy sky
Bright sky appeared; misty clouds of ignorance hovering above all disappeared
From far and wide seekers of knowledge, about my great tales they hear
Following cosmic signs like the three wise men before me they all appear
I speak words with healing power that can make the blind see and deaf hear
Cynics...

DEEPER THAN RHYMES
It’s another beautiful day for me as I get on the internet
With a goal to impact lives for better that’s all I represent
With educative conscious lyrics not just for your amusement
I engage minds with conscious words that give succour
To souls whose lives are stagnated due mental impairment
Revolutionary building a fan base many believe this movement
Take every dosage of my words to see positive improvement
I’m far from timid every line is explicit with bold statement
Living a quiet life without voicing out your mind ain’t simple
Brainstorming I...
