WANT TO

Image
It being a very long time I wrote a poem, and lately have been trying to come up with something and this one is titled Want To . I want to write, Write, to soothe my heart, Write, to explore my mind, Write, to feed my soul. To keep me calm and sane I write, To shield me from truth I write. I want to dance, Dance, to exercise my soul, Dance to hide my tears, Dance to free my head. To keep me calm and sane I dance. To shield me from truth I dance. I want new friends, Friends, to help me hide my sorrow, Friends, to help me develop my potentials, Friends, to show me love I don't deserve. In times of joy and pain I want, A friend to tell me truth that hurt. Written and composed by Yorubaseeker

PATRIOTISM (FEATURED POST)

Image
Dear Lola, So am I a traitor Or am I a coward Which is it tell me I'm tired of looking inwards Some people I do not know were killed so I should surrender my life? Two blasts yesterday occurred On the ground was shrapnel; flaming sons spawned the children of ticking time bombs So father the retired soldier urged me to sign up Before I go I must inform u of this my new way forward I leave tomorrow in my ironed uniform Of khaki shorts and white tops, blacks gloves too Oh! Did I tell you I now wear boots And gone are the days where I wore expensive shoes. Dear Lola, Life here is fun, well not really I've been made a fighter pilot of course I'm just in training My dear I want to fly but this flight involves killing I must leave now my quarter master is fast approaching. Dear Lola, Its been six months already I've been commissioned so quickly They all seem to think I'm ready Myself and my friends The flying thunder squad team I'm the co...

20 Things I Would Miss About School

Image
Hello guys, happy new month, it being a really long time sigh... I hope am back full time now  So recently I became a graduate,  and here is a list of 20 things I would miss about school life 1. Drinking Garri;  Ohh I drank garri so much, it got to an extent some of my hall mate gave me the nick name Garri-Ambadsador. 2.  Martial Art : I was involved in Judo and Taekwando 🥋oh I would miss training. 3. Fetching water from the Well;  as stressful as it was, it was one of my secret ways to keep fit. 4.  Weightlifting;  I remember always looking forward to finding new place to lift weight and waking up very early so I could do some early morning workout with my guys them Ose and Ib . 5. Charging Phone  ;  the struggle to charging phone in school then was a real challenge cos electricity is a rare element in my hall so from going to rooms where gen is on to taking extension to lecture to charge it wasn't funny. 6. L...

A trip to a Pig farm

Image
The past few days has been a bit interesting for me, it seems September has so many things to teach and show me. So first Sunday of the month I was at a Pig farm I guess some call it a piggery. It was in Lagos, my uncle has some pigs that he rears so we went to check up on them. First thing I noticed when I got there, was the smell it was so bad but after getting inside and all, let's just say I got used to the foul smell. My uncle has about 47 pigs about 15 adult and the rest all young piglet although at various age of childhood😶. Actually, I think pigs are very cute especially when they are still young, i saw some 2weeks old very cute looking piglets all trying to suck breast milk from their mom (although she was quite greedy about allowing them suck). I just felt like taking them all home with me. So for all you guys who might be interested in rearing pigs here are some few things I heard and noticed. ∆ Pigs are very easy to rear but needs time. ∆ They can eat...

MUCH ADO about THE NOT TOO YOUNG TO RUN BILL

Image
So after much agitation, the most talked about bill has been passed. The youth are supposedly happy, the power field has become more open, every youth now has a shot. But the questions still remain are we the youth ready for leadership, what are our motives for wanting to get political power. Are we interested in behaving like those that have been there before us! Going to feed themselves and fatten there pocket, at the detriment of the electorate. Another issue about this not too young run is the issue of understanding, the youth that want to run for public office do they understand how proper politics is done, the experience, the exposure, the demands of public office isn't meant for the faint hearted youth. Again even if the bill was what every youth wanted, what if the big political wig hijacked the whole stuff  imposing their protege on us probably because they feel they might not get voted in and thus they throw their whole weight behind the person who dances to their ...

POEPISODE 3 Final series “Journey with me to my head of old Meet iyonda my playful gate keeper She rolls in flowery plains Like a laughing hyena she cries Gazing at her broken water pot She thinks of the whips that await her And wishes she could be here forever So i make her my head’s gate keeper In here no whip can touch her But iyonda do me solid, get up and sing! Calm my storm with heavens melody Straight to sweet victoryville And as for you victorville Sweet God of victoryville Show me all is not in my head, a dream If i make a vow of cooperation Will my cup fill? And on my bread a spread of cream? Life like victoryville, a place to conquer Victoryville you are in my head and my pride On this land i will not rush and if i do its to build a church With drums and trumpets and Cymbals and tambourines Can you however wait till the corrupt perish? Then life will be mine Sink or swim they expect the best from me Oh Great deity show me all is not in my head. T...

POEPISODE 2 “Ade oh crown oh prince Ife oh love without peace I wish life would let me be Sky God said “decree” Mo fi asé si enu soro I command, to you Hardship i speak raw Loose your hold or we go to war You keep taking me on tours but no more In my head i am dead again Sleep walking but still feel life’s pain Inevitably i may strive or make gain But till when? When will i harvest corn from grain I have become a Sloppy leech Ah Life!! all i know is what you teach! Yet i flunk your tests and ditch Oh man of God advice me, please preach Sink or swim they watch for my head! Will i rise above muddy water or Die in my head? Is it not all in my head?

Yes... in my head I’m a Space walker An astronaut No air in limbo, so i put it on and around me It must encompass and overwhelm or else i cho...

I

I write for My soul has become empty From lack of truth. I sing But my voice is cracked,- From cries of despair. I stand In the midst of friends, Whose intentions can't be trusted. I dance To the rhythm of sorrow, For that the only sound that plays In my subconsciousness . I search For a new type of pain, For my soul has adapted to hurt. Yorubaseeker

COMMODIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS ( FEATURED POST)

Image
Oppressed by honourable melancholy An anguish of knowledge and intelligence Held my heart in manacles of humility And my breast blooms of imperfect joy Life weeps more because vain it weeps Our backs bent to carry the catastrophe The personification of abstract – faith Volition and passion were satisfied Building our faith on politics and mountain If the man whose chameleons die often on Another man’s barbecue ashamed not; The man who owns the barbecue should be And God is so perfect and quiet To things that are than death important It is the battle of two perorated animals One has long horn and the other short Short horn large in size; long horn mini I cannot tell whose weight is better But one could lock the other outside That outside – we bend our heart to God With hypocrisy I think God should know If you were there last night There were pithy cold and catarrh With broad denial of identity in just congregation A revolution of will and countered will Col...

POEPISODE 1 “Catalyst Cause and effects Mind’s Conflict unresolved Slippery steeps from uncertain aspirations Unsettled are you not? Crossroads leading nowhere? Help me make sense of it now and here! All and sunder observe and watch Sink or swim they want to know your options We thought our Turmoil had seized Seemed like ripple effects “He is unbalanced!” Said the Psychotic; analyst I came in Glorious Ascension Dripping in olive oil and honey From my christener to the Godmother holding me up I squeezed her hand and sneezed, she laughed! “the boy is ready for work” she said Thus my journey began Elizabeth said, “this my boy you have such potential You will be a creator” “You will be a Narrator” Richard said that instead Well a Creative narrator would not have much to live on now would he? “Ignore them” my head said.

Stop living a lie

Image
Most tikes in our life we go against our will, we go against our truth just because it doesn't sound realistic, just because it doesn't sound possible, so we live a lie, a lie to justify our truth Fix all lies it make no sense to live a lie to enjoy a life

It Doesn't Worth It

Image
Contentment is a virtue, in this world where everybody want to live in the fast lane, where every body want to make it quick, where the joy of labour is becoming an undesirable trait, let us decide to do the right thing at all time, It Doesn't Worth It Integrity is everything, no matter the little one hustle can bring let's be proud of it and get joy in the fact that we eating from the sweat of our labour "It might take long for success to come but it is inevitable if you keep working" The urge to live a fake life should be suppressed, The desire of illegal wealth should be discarded, The fortunes of a thief last but for a while. There has never being a story of someone who had ill gotten wealth that didn't suffer a repercussion Desist from it "It Doesn't Worth It"
