TRUE FRIENDSHIP (by OYEM GARY EMEKE)




















I sit here today, thinking
of dreams we've had, and days gone by
Wondering if my world would be so beautiful
if I hadn't looked into your lovely eyes


Spent all dawn thinking of the merriment we've had
  sitedunder thy glowy shades
as the chilling west-wind
whistled past


A great companion you are
even when the lake seemed gloomy
your beauty kept us company
majestic and serene
juicy as the fairest of maiden's breast
your gaze ruptures d hardest of hearts n embrace, a guide through the
loneliness of night..


A companion you've been
my only dual guide
my mentor, and
waitful friend.

PLAY STATION 7; MY NATION (by YUSSUF QOYUM OLATUNDE)
















Isn't God the game owner?

He holds the game pads always in his fist,

human shock-wave, controlling with analogue,

as far as I know, the best arcade he loves is 'Here',

our game is of mission and adventure,

here is where fiction turns fact,

game characters suffer; the player being fatter.

  The first pad lies in the hand of enlightenment,

civilization almost spree our lives for free,

it controls our step, its praises we yel'd,

in the game menu looms helping object,

the likes with which it splits our milk,

customs and inventions,
fashion and lifestyle,

objects at helping plane,
hence it blocks our way,

yet we seeketh for;we pray.

  The twin pad lies in the hand of the rulers,

ruling in dimension, controlling different mission,

they purport us to make believeth their moves,

jilted-we were miscontrol'd, after our support,

nearly damage were the pads, out of misuse,

after lifelines were wasted, they go for a re-do,

we only beseech for control,
by the Holy Comptroller;

the game owner.

  The game plan is a way to success drive;
through the controller,

on the drivers seat; their you are,

deliver us from our horrible past.

  On the northern pole of the game planet,

hides a bunch of nitwit exchanging pads,

behind them were gross of followers,

 ready to take over,

a dreadful arcade they engulfs,

 spiritually engross'd,

explosives were project'd to monasteries,

cult scholars were kill'd,

underworld gates wide open,

free passageway,

people strive to defy,

heavenly rays shone,
appear'd in beams,

characters hate the realm,

comptrollers were laughing and popping,

the control'd were weeping,

their legs were tired,
eyes swollen,

after losing main amulet,

even limited game features,

left to meagre diets,
light off please,

quickly; rapture.

  Hail the hybrid players of the south and oily poles,

atleast they did a great deal,

money vault of the planet,

or we station'd our bank in their purse,

they griev'd, cried;

Our habitat were like toilet,

we've been cheat'd',

heaven was promised to them,

then their controllers disconnect'd,

believe me, they regroup'd,

purchased a wireless pad,

they drive'd from afar,

setting our plans apart.

  See the amperage of our electric game,

watch the screen;

many with pails of wails,

half fill'd; holy shit!

Their game plan is on demo; no controller,

wandering till I might call,
solely solitude,

needn't you to wisen up;
apply aptitude.

  Ample proofs witness'd our gluttony,

we held different controller, direct our game,

yet many surburban brats loot away our fame,

fear shall be mortgaged for courage,

whilst dream encouraged,

inferiority shall depart the coward,

before the game is OVER.

ANOTHER LOVE SONG by UTAMAZI DANIEL















In you,
i see a virgin land
so fertile and pure

in you,
i see the wealth of Africa
the perfection of Gods' hand
gleaming in earthly saint

in you,
I'll sow my seed
I'll give it light
I'll give it life
and weed it weeds
at night or day

I'll carry your heart
and sit on the pavement of love
to watch my seed grow
to watch it sun glow

it fence shall be made of rose
as in heaven's eye they'll pose
spraying across dales and mountains
like grains
In you
my black gold
I'll sow my seed
in your virgin land
I'll brew my kind.

RAPED AND RIPPED (By: Nnaemeka Chukwukezie)



 
 
 
 
 
  Almost prepared, we came
Fervent, willing, young
At last, Almost impaired
Raped, ravished, torn
A scorn for tale

Waterloo of tears
Such gain fall vain
Pants drenched of blood
Surely, the stronger was met
On leaving, Scathed were we

Yet we sang
Not of victory, rather patriotic
We were received
Not of triumph, rather ovation
Our lights, shinning dark

THE LEVIATHAN (CORRUPTION) By: DANIEL UCHENNA NWAUZORMA



 











(1)

Deep in the earth, firmed to its dirth..
It holds sway in the corridors of power..
Beneath the veins of want, it gains health..
Feeding on the corns of the pauper..

And beneath the cotton blue sky..
It holds its own, controls the throne..
Against all odds, the poor becomes the spy..
Bribed; like a dog loyal to its bone..

In the end, all that is, becomes the greed..
That makes them hoard and steal..
And then, they raise, protect their seed..
Forming the vicious circle of theives..

It shot the moral, to its death..
Integrity, chained to the ground..
The fetters of repute, formed from the earth...
Loosened to girth, the corrupt bound.


(2)

It walks across the streets of fame..
And knocks at the doors of reproach..
It crawls on their lips, rebuke its name.
To hearts of evil; their best coach.

It preaches to the profane sons of greed..
The ways to meet their every need..
It walks to integrity, to seek repute..
And sets it wrath, in the heart, to refute..

This demon, birth from the depths of hell..
Burns in the hearts of all, sick and well..
Seeking comfort, it spurs the onslaught of good..
Laying its eggs on the hearts of evil..

Passed like an airborne canker-worm..
It moves from parent to child..
It feeds on the "by all means.." notion..
And parents, spur on, neglecting to chide..

The canker-worm has become a giant..
Eating the souls of the high and mighty..
Its children has flooded the ends..
Of politics, economics and security..

In the guise of prophecy..
It desecrated the sanctuary..
Through lies and deceit..
Birthed from the heart, to the heathen.

SO WE PRAY

















And it all came to past
When this frivolous year begone so far
With it's star-light,moon-light void of best
Known for sheer shawl of shameful scar
Left on all parastatals big and small
Like a drenched measles of epidemic haul

And it all came to past
As the begining marks the end
To tell wisdom it is but lustful crest
With sins wooing away our blissful trend
Laying bay the naked foolish cravings
That eluded the route to joyful blessings

Poverty so strong made to survive
Even when encircled by treacherous day
As if enchanted to stay alive
Then entrenched into our fluid to stay
Got us sway'd freely to and fro
All these days come to past as we grow

Abduction now courageously tender smile
Gaining stance as if meant to blink
With bamboo stick that vomit fire a mile
Our breath got ceased in just a wink
In every grip;every sip;for ransom
And it came to pass as a ransom

Then comes the fairy flood
Ravaging our homes in slippery pace
Feeding us solitude and clothe us cold-blood
As surviving plants wear tattered face
Frowing at so long a journey as slow fast
All these days drilled the past

Rousing race of aviation crash
Ails these days as the most beautiful
That sweept the grave full with flesh
Which amongst was heroes and heroine plentiful
Such slyly plays us downcast
So did we believe, it all come to past

And it all came to past
The hazardous touch of mole-fire
Which wrecked lately beyond shores to last
Eating lives and works of year higher
Leaving behind,drenched pangs of distress,
Panic,pandemonium,and pandemics as mistress

And it all come to past
As wishes that time was directioned
But time pass'd with wing undirectioned
Painting these woes in rainbowic style
And we list them for all eyes,in pray'r file
As these painful tears flows
It leaves trail-mark enroute to heaven
Just to present our pray'r file
And we plea:please God,us enliven,
Show us those pretty favour
Bless our works,bless our toil,bless our labour

Lead us as bride to next year
Guard our soles as we match towards
Anew dawn coloured and named new year
Well all plea,no ever backwards
So we pray and fast
Thus,it all came to past
