"LULLABY OF A DYING NATION"

.

From the other side of the sea

I came to see where they gather

At the shore of the largesse

Singing the lullaby of a dying nation.

.

It was there at the other side of the sea

The vultures hovering the carcass

Of a dying nation

They gather with gusto and strength

Feasting over the carcass of a dying

Nation

With their long beaks and talons

Tearing away her glee and singing

The lullaby of a dying nation

Feast and feast fiercely for tomorrow is dead

.

It was at the other side of the sea

I came to see where they gather

Feasting and singing the lullaby of a

Dying nation

Leaving behind the fetid entrails of a dead nation

As tears continue to smile in the eyes that saw her grieving glee.

"THE ANGEL WOMAN"

.

Upon a nice mid-harmattan day

She came to me with the scent of

Summers

Amaka a girl from Amatta

Dark as night, skin smiles like the oceans

By her mirrors, the Gods must be black

Africa.

.

She speaks of sunken treasure like no

other woman

The cartography of her importance is

drawn in the stars.

.

Her smile of gold calls out the joy of

waves

The sun stands in awe by the

Phenomenal of her womanly art

With great gratification your heart now

sits on Solomon sky.

.

Her love exuberant making every

Moment memorable

This lady stirs you from every direction

Your blood ripples to her flirtatious

wince.

.

Her eyes influence you, raped every

dream

Infinite lust, pulled by the mystic magic of

moon light

Falling flowers of forgetfulness, when

Lost in her touch

She bears, she breathes in ways you

can't oppose.

.

Her words easily enfold around your

heart

In a gaiety of trust, her silky lips make

Another kiss

Like a pattern, you gabble and salivate

.........striding all over yourself

You are naught more than a fool in love

Trusting and keeping faith in every juicy

Word spoken by her lip.

.

This lady is a pure hell

But the only way to go to heaven.

"IT IS WELL"

.

Tears walked with me in a gladsome night

And I lost her in the bright morning light.

.

I know it was Him who made me walked that way

Where tears on dark paths fall yesterday.

.

God knows how to place his own on a test of faith

So they may come out as snow to ply his gate.

.

Now my soul has found peace and mourning gone

Only joy does shine inside like the soft noonday sun.

.

I bid farewell to despair and long dark fears

As I walk no longer the valley of tears.

.

Shock and grief give their last farewell

For with the Lord on my side it is well.
