ELOQUENT THINKERS ™

Last night I slept hard And awoke with a start My heart was bleeding For many things unseen

The trends of politics Are all the same Whether or not the participants Look like they are sane They fight publicly Like men drunk in idiocy A group of bedevilling puppets Looking for votes like pick-pockets Who then is to blame At the end of the day How do you expect your votes to win In a country where there isn't democracy God help us With anything better than jingoistic Lest we go back to square one Drinking un-sugared garri

The story goes like this...... First they call me a tribalist Then I remind them I have no tribal marks Next they say I'm an indigenist Because I support Biafra They say my people are judicious I remind them we love justice The only problem are a few conscientious Who have no leniency for ethics The country is undeniably an evil forest A place where all sorts of shady businesses are a thing of swag Where dubious people with diverse characters rest And a code of conduct that has no stand

The sun comes to light up the day With tears, this pain is how I pay I now have been taken for a babe Because I talked too much! What did I say? I am taken for granted By that I thought I wanted I did cherish it a lot Or was that what I thought? Night shadows are caused by the moon Is this where I get doomed? After so long the night I wake up each day to cry My heart is heavy It perchance weighs a thousand kg I bow my head as though from the sun And out from love, I take a walk

I'm tired Of this life Can't I just fade off Never to be heard from again? I've helped a lot fight their devils Now it's just I and mine Each day I lie to myself that Someday it would be fine Now I'm just a walking zombie One from my past Going back seems better I'm a living ghost of self confidence Can't I just take a walk Never to return Each day I give myself a lie For reasons people are bad Each day in my heart I cry But then with my lips smile This isn't poetry In case you don't hear from me I'm sick of this world From it I'm taking the walk I promised to be with so many Up until eternity They said same If I had known they took it as a game He talks,  we reply And when he's not looking, we leave him for blind I've tried to be happy But then, I've never gotten it I've learned to pretend To smile even when scared of death I decided to give out my heart To live the euphoria of being in love

I love the lady in red The way she packs her hair And how she breathes the air Oh an Angel! though dark not fair When the sun blazes hot She still smiles on Though sweating, she's undisturbed My Angel! Who dares touch? Her smiles make butter melt It's brilliance like the morning sun I felt With blows upon my heart causing welts Oh! How I love you, though find not words to tell

I have no taste for jewelries Or that which makes me weary It looks good on some But favors me not Keepsakes are always good Until they come to burn down your hood With fire and brimstone Like they came a-search for gold Fences turned to rubble all around Secure defences taken to the ground That which was in a safe Is strewn around like it's a game

For every given day,  I write Knowing its coming "The end time " We should all pray for long life And strength to see through life's trials Men of God in suits Speaking words which do not soothe The man who lives not in suites But takes his daily manna from the soot The word of God is true Despite trials we've been through We should learn to give thanks For he's kept abated all tanks

And I thought I had a loving cousin One I had hoped in the past did love me We got along together You wouldn't believe we were from different mothers
