UNFIT

-

Morose mind, sobbing soul and hot heart
Inner man, in a prolapsed agony being sunk,
Yet this skinny skin ever proves a negligence
Yet this boastful boggy body denies to stink. 

Sweat in vain, blood- a stressful product
This temple is lackadaisically fine-tuned,
But of a softly smiling suffering's story; 
Who shall hear and give a up-down nod?

Across an horrific pedestrian route
Slowly as I keep zapping the street, 
Finding worse aghast in a barren today
As tomorrow I was hoping yesterday.

Like a seed planted on solid rock- no hope
This ill race of life, I wish I could re-run,
I wish I don't die, I wish I could return
If I can't befit, I wish I could retreat.

But as I go, this board keeps telling me
Maybe now I'll believe it's speeches; 
That it shall soon be befitting,
This unfit journey.

TO THE WORLD, FROM THE WORLD

-

Restless I become, like a leaf, dancing on water, When terms unspoken ripples along my tummy. . I wish I could also spit and breathe life, to walk, But, what dominion has a word over the world? . Since this wide wordy world is not my own, Only these terms I utter -- my possessions. . Behold, these countenance creatures of mine, In many minds, it shall walk, to live, after me. #PsalmsInk © Samuel O. Ogunyinka, (Psalmist).

RISE UP NIGERIA

-
Image
When will you be corruption free? Oh, my great nation, When will you hold degree? On these your abandoned mission. “Arise O'compatriot!" The way you called, Here now I am, with a good thought Why should I meet you curved? Why must you be pierce to pieces? Why must you be mercilessly tortured? When you wear a cloth made of peace Sewed and unified with agriculture. Rise up Nigeria! Take back your glory, You are the giant of Africa Do not end up with a sad story. Pythons you harbor Send them away! They are your devilish neighbour Let them go astray. Fight them with all your might Possess back your possessions, Those denial of one's right Fight them in all ramifications. You are black And back is beauty, The one that shines in dark With the heritage so pretty. Rise up Nigeria! Take back your right, You are the giant of Africa Fly high like a tattered kite! #PsalmsInk #HappyIndependenceDay #RiseUpNigeria © Samuel O. Ogunyinka, (Ps...
