Rat Race

Better days are promised, but knowing we'll wake to a life full of pain, sleep eludes us. So on our beds we wrestle with sleep. Thus, we suit up hoping to go through the day without peril, in our quest to find cheeseless bread. Yet with our heads up we don't give up in this rat race, because, in these shoes we won't find protection at all cost. - TOVoM

A poem for her

Knock, knock, knock Beauty at morning's door After a night filled with adventures Dreams of christ and his unfailing love Multiple dimensions in a single world Different experiences before dawn War and chaos in a living void Death and loss like there's no law A very tough and strange night indeed And yet the princess sleeps with no worries With visions appearing like movies Five hours felt like an eternity One night feeling like twenty She is the best at it Because she got christ at the wheel Kn

Poem ( Nigeria)

My view of Nigeria. Nigeria looks like a psittacine infested bird which needs a political veterinary to cure.

Soul

if you have ever walked crying in the rain if you have ever screamed with no sound at the top of your lungs if you have ever had a very deep wound with no rushing blood to show if you have ever felt your heart fall within your chest then I know your storm I know your song Even though I may not know your story Our souls though different they are one and the same

The one I want

To me you are a treasure, A treasure that I can't have I try and try to get you but you rather be with the ones who don't know your value I try and try again and again but fail each and every time and you keep trying to be with the ones who treat you like trash so, I have stopped trying but haven't stopped loving you.

The society

A society created for order. All wars have been settled and there is peace. Only clear skies ahead for this community. But that is not how it goes. In the so called order, there is chaos. In the proclaimed peace there is conflict. Within this society there is division, And all are not united. A society should be either white or black, But there is a plethora of grey. Good and evil, mix together till they are indistinguishable. The society can never be perfect, It can never be truly clean.

Lies

Grasses claim to be as tall as an iroko Ants claim to be as big as an elephant. The antelopes thinks they are lions. The weak feel they are strong The prey believe they are predators Everyone lives in their own fictional world, But only the strong minded know How to differentiate dreams from reality You talk about your Non existential achievements. Lies told on purpose Or perhaps on the delusions of the mind.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

This is all about how life can be fair and unfair at the same time...thus...at a point in which we can think there's a light at the end of the tunnel, darkness clouds over our jolly selves....Life...

Sometimes the most disturbed is the strong

HELLO FOR THE TIME

**I called out for help but no one answered **Pesting my way through to peace **I gave my very all but it never mattered **They took it all, down to the last piece **They said he is fine, he is better off alone **All man to his demon, but mine is legion **They said he is lying, we can tell from his tone **Self righteous bastards, blinded by religion **I heard he died yesterday, oh rest his soul **Pay homage with your cash and flowers **I heard his life was barren, no seed to sow **He died of col

Flowers always make the eyes of the viewer stunned by their beauty

Help

This poem was written as an expression of how I feel, I'm glad that I could use poetry to express how I feel since this is only my second time doing so.

If You Think

Thinking is thought or reasoning. An example of thinking is when someone takes the time to work out a problem in their head.

You Can Win

“winners see the gain; losers see the pain.” ... “Winners dont do different things, they do things differently” ... “Under Adverse conditions - some people break down, some break records” ... “If you think you can - you can!” ... “Winner dont do different but they do differently”

Partner Forever

great things always come every moment times where ones are numb such a monument magnificent, some presence of relief reached out, filled belief change of life, might be red tight string of fate in both pinkies, wait also with a cute small, a cheery babe oh, God, who really? whose destined to me? might go crazy various tracks of life hard, wherever is at least, with buddy whoever it is

Stare of Death

Where am i? Tell me, don't lie Dark mist surrounds me, should i? Resist the black gaze who lies--- To your white and gloomy eyes. As stare of death multiplies Along with miserable cries The perfect in you denies All of my successful tries oh poor, your kindness dies sharp points, pushes my demise anxiety severed ties insults that's deeper than highs Breathing, cruel thing, promise Easiness who i want to seize Thing of life is this the price? His? I would prefer goodbyes.

Towards the light

- Maybe you think the winter is gonna last forever - Maybe you long for the sunkiss with a change of weather - But have you ever thought that : - All this darkness is leading you to an endless light - And without the night - you'd be blind from seeing directly the sunlight - Your eyes needed to grow - For you to learn how to dance in the pain under the rain and let everything flow - We're all here to feel the sadness - Try to color your own world with gratefulness - in life we have the freedom t

Haiku poem - Nature

Beautiful nature In this most loveliest form forest laughed, with love! Plenty flowers bloom, While the sun passes through Forever, afternoon Since the wildflowers, Holds the sunlight, that shine, Through the scary night The Water whistle While the giraffe drunk away, Wow, satisfaction! What is more to say? Than, mother nature at work! Healing its earth.

FADE AWAY 1

All the memories that we've had Flying away like fireflies Dialogues of the time we met Keep replaying up in my head Reminiscing the memories I'll forever cherish I get lost and wonder afar off Tears flowing on it's own accord Gasping for air as it escapes my lungs Filled with sadness and pain If I was to shout, there was nothing to gain I could only wait as the memories dissipate I could only wait till my appointed fate Seeming calm on the outside But my heart is filled with fear Being troubled
