Frank Adie

Invisible and yet so real,
My gentle breezy friend;
I always know you are passing by,
When the trees nod their heads.
...

I was bought with money
I am the property of my master
He determines the course of my life
He subjects me to mindless drudgery
...

A husband
who loved his wife dearly.

A father
...

A horde of bloodthirsty herdsmen-
Are on the loose on their satanic expedition;
Ferocious, violent and bloodthirsty killer brigade,
Whom unimaginable cruelty is their stock-in-trade;
...

What went wrong?
That you now sing a different song?
For life we promised to ride this horse
Our oath was for better for worse
...

We met, we slept and we had fun
I wanted you to stay, but you opted to run
I will not resort to self-pity and regret
Negative emotions are not for me to create.
...

My smile is my charm
It makes raging nerves calm
It can quell the fiercest anger
And subdue an unfriendly stranger.
...

We are all captives of this book,
This addictive called facebook.
We are fellow inmates within its walls,
We are all prisoners, we are Zucker's thralls.
...

Don't tell me love
Show me love
When love is verbalized I hear it
When it is acted I feel it
...

You are the diamond in my sky
The bright smile that illuminates my world
The reason I work with my shoulders high
A friend that gives me a reason to be glad.
...

Na-wao! is an ambiguous exclamation
That really deserves our recognition

It is not found in the English dictionary
...

If you die before me,
Life would be a goalless adventure -
Leading to nowhere.
...

Nothing is Free

My son,
There is so much dignity in paying your bills
...

Surely there was standing ovation in the land of the dead,
To usher in the greatest female musician of all times;
While celebration greeted you in the underworld,
The world mourned, and bemoaned your departure.
...

Date of birth,
Date of death,
One we know;
The other we know not.
...

I will rather be what I can in my country
I won't go drudging on the streets of Canterbury
I am a first class citizen here
I like it here, I am going nowhere.
...

When I was some levels below
Without a job and a car
I sought and craved these things
I thought they would make me happy.
...

Each time one climbs to a new level
He would have to deal with a new devil
No destination guarantees happiness; life is just a struggle
And each day comes with its own trouble.
...

I found my Eve
On my birthday eve
We met in a subway
Not far from where I stay.
...

Once the giant of Africa, now "Ichabod"
"The glory has departed from Nigeria"
Our country is overflowing with blood
The happiest nation has lost her euphoria.
