A War With The gods



A War with the gods

Our ancestors are fast and far asleep. 
Their snores echoes through the heavens
As they can't hear the hubbub of the world they're meant to guard. 

The human world has become the jungle, 
Where Rodents became wild. 
We lest afraid of rats above lions. 

Our world has been doomed 
Our fleshes are served in feast 
By the beast that have us killed. 

The Yewa river is no more drinkable 
For the maternal. 
In our world, 
Thunders impersonate the rainbows.

The sage no longer foresee 
Like Orunmila 
All they see now is the noun
Placed on the loins of a sultry lass. 

Èṣù crossed our paths 
So many believed 
As he announced the dethronment of Olódùmarè 
This is a taboo on us, 
The world is left with no gratitude 
As we are all left in failing aptitudes. 

Our pains are worn like togs of war
Darkness upsurge the light of Obatala
We need sticks to fight this war. 
The gods have failed and 
Who said they're not to be blamed? 
We at war with the gods. 
But our heart and the earth 
Seeks the peace of yesterday. 
We need to straddle this hurdle. 

Aṣẹ̀dá! 
Olódùmarè! 
Olúwa! 
We can upon your mightiness! 
Solidify our souls like the rock of ages, 
Make our flowers blossoms again 
Like the one in Hereafter. 
Bless our nights with the prayers of yesterday 
And, glorify our days with the rays of the rising sun.

For, I Still Do

  For, I Still Do 'My world' was among one of the last things I enchanted my mouth & silence with, to you. I never knew it'll be my last. The trepidation of throwing off your scent Kept afloat on the river of our previous love Get drown, I mean d                                     r                                     o                                     w                                       n ,  & this love never sent me a drowning letter from the heart. Life can be down with one in the dumps, after love was lost in the creed of a bloody assassination, bathed in cold tears  and a peal of horrible laug...

MY SOLACE

TITLE : MY SOLACE  Happy Birthday to my solace  My makeup when I have a dull face  My sugar in the time of sour taste  Obviously we're from a different caste.  It will be so cruel  If I can't pen something for you here Because the day we met there  We became intimate with no fear.  Before today, you're just a friend  But now, you're a sister to the end I'll be your lawyer, if you have a case to defend Today is yours, and that's the new trend. With your stature, you're my infant  Trust you as my confidant  Sometimes I accept to be a fool When you tease me on who's more beautiful. She's my perfect place of comfort Consoling me in the time of distress thought  My cute girlfriend, adorable and short  Don't mind me, you're still my fort.  You've showed me love in many ways  Even when I change and sways How can I appreciate those days You cared for me in many ways.  My baby girl,...

The Temple I could not Worship

The Temple I could not Worship   Location: Cloud 9 Club House, off moon Road, Jupiter State.  Time: 9pm I walked into the dance hall  Which was my first time  Since I've travelled to a new planet.  And, here comes she...  ... dancing through my gaze 00:00 seconds, my focus changed  towards her set of loins. She has no face but beauty is all I see.  She wears a sexy smile  That could pull of my cloths at a glance. Oh, this is not my doom day And waiting to groom her on my wedding day  Is like a dream never come through.  And here she is,  Drinking from the thirsty ocean  of my assorted salty lips.   I thought it was a joke  When her hands moon walked  through my infantry hairy chest.  She halt at the center For me to catch some vibes. And as the music keep playing on, On and on and on and on...  The more I become lost and migh...
