I AM YOU
I am you; the voice of the people praying fervently yearning for change
I am you a troubled soul with so many questions to ask in need of answers
I am you; another misconstrued being considered an outcast coz I act strange
I am you; in pains afflicted with a pernicious disease that kills me slowly like cancer
I am you; I’m addicted to many bad habits every day I struggle hard to quit
I am you; I don’t trust anybody coz I’ve being betrayed & can’t no longer take shit
I am you; I need some true love & affection but it seems nobody is willing to give
I am...

STUPID EGO
All he always said was “his taking his time
His missing rib” with ease he believes he will find
So for many years in front of him she was but he was blind
Never summoned the courage to let her know what was on his mind
Felt she would always be there and meant for him by God’s design
Ignored friends’ advices telling him to express his feelings to her
Coz to his strong faith of believing she would never leave him he resigned
Took her as just a friend when what she expected from him was much more
Coz every woman needs some loving and a man to make...

VOICE OF HOPE
Nobody cares or understands your pains & trauma that’s what you feel
Sometimes you’re betrayed & disappointed by someone cherished by you
You feel life is not worth living coz nothing around seems cheerful to you
You lost your Job; you can’t afford your bills and your house rent is due
About to be thrown out & there’s nobody willing to help, coming to your rescue
You won’t believe it’s appalling the situations some peeps everyday go through
When you’re faced with life challenges & you’ve got many dependants on you
It hurts to see you ain’t able...

RANDOM THOUGHTS
I know how it feels when your phone doesn’t ring for a day or two
Those lonely times you feel neglected coz nobody’s is reaching out to you
On social networks you’ve got thousands of friends only there for chats online
And sometimes you wish there was that close friend calling to know if you’re doing fine
And some might just not feel my pains coz they think I’m only trying to rhyme
You don’t how it feels giving so much and having none or little in return
Yes every man gets lonely sometimes; me, myself and I alone boredom is no fun
People tend to be more fascinated...

I'M READY
I’m ready to live; I’m not ready yet to die
I’m not ready to give up; I’m ready to always try
I’m ready to take charge of my destiny & never ask why
I’m ready to ‘‘fall in love’’ it’s a sacrifice; who is willing to catch me
I’m ready to say I do’’ but it’s hard to find someone to match me
I’m ready to be yours but now I feel lost it’s kinda hard to find me
I’m ready to let go my past but it’s hard to put some things behind me
I’m ready to forgive and forget
But some memories never die the pains caused leaves scars that remind me
I’m ready to swallow the...

REALITY CHECK
Some say if you ain’t talking about money then you ain’t making sense
I can’t lie, all men like the good life’ I must admit it with no pretence
Our world today is decayed in all facets taking my views with a conscious lens
I wonder why we act as if nothing dey happen’’ ain’t we pricked by our conscience
Seeing things that were alien to us to been indoctrinated to gullible souls
Most Beautiful girls are willing to expose their bodies as music video hoes
While most young fellas take pride to chant slogans of balling outta control
Glorifying pimping, drug abuse,...

IN DUE TIME
All she ever cries for is a child to call her own
Every day she hopes her belly gets grown
Praying to be blessed with the fruit of the womb
Nine months past no cries of a baby yet heard in her home
She yearns for that day she would become a proud mother
Hoping to celebrate, yet that day still remains unknown
Fifteen years now gone in marriage with no issue has left her world torn
Not knowing her worth as a woman she curses the day she was born
Suffering every now and then from her in-laws rejection,
Hurting more deep inside with pains of self dejection,...

ONE SILIENT CRY
What God has joined together let no man put asunder”
She’s confused constantly bruised and abused
In the name of marriage; which makes me wonder?
If it’s worth it, the trauma she goes through makes me ponder
Her youthful heart endures the pains; but her body ageing faster
Than her age reveals she’s emotionally & physically hurt
Ignorantly paying the price for living with a man who doesn’t know her worth
She’s no doubt a rare gem but her husband treats her like dirt
Consoling herself with these words ‘‘if it doesn’t kill her it will only make her stronger...

IN THE NAME OF LOVE
She was a diva caught in the wrong man’s world who never appreciated her worth
Spent most part of her life hurting’ living with a man who treated her like dirt
Blinded by love doing all she could to please him, everyday hoping it will work
First cut they say is the deepest’ I guess she was dumb from the start
It was her first time falling in love; she was generous’ giving out all her heart
Inexperienced and innocent she was, she kept enduring & tolerating his foolish acts
He wasn’t truthful & faithful but she wouldn’t leave him even when she had enough facts...

THE ENCOUNTER
Standing in front of the mirror staring, the reflection wasn’t me
An image of a stranger in my body is who I’m surprised to see
Perplexed at the moment I realized he bore striking looks just like me
Looking at me deep into my eyes he could see my soul; but how could this be
Enthusing some feeling of guilt within me telepathically He questions my being
It wasn’t a trance I was going through I was consciously aware it wasn’t a dream
His words cut deep like a blade when he spoke the Truth was all he vividly said
I tried not to tremble in fear but he knew I was...

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE
Ominous silence besieged the once boisterous neighbourhood
As everybody wore gloomy faces depicting sorrowful mood
It‘s no doubt an obnoxious experience mourning over the death of a youth
As the women wailed and children cried, he wandered about feeling so free and void
Looking around closely he could recognize familiar faces shedding tears profusely
A cluster of elders he saw discuss about the tragedy that has befallen them as untimely
As he eavesdropped he learnt a young man had died & the bereaved were his own family
How could that be, as he looked around he...
