The cloud took over the sky covering it with a black blanket
will the sun ever shine again

the sun ran from east to seek refuge at the west
...

Death be not proud you this unseen creation working under the guise of darkness
were nobody could see you though muster and brave you call yourself so why working in darkness,

death be not proud for i know i'll lay cold in your hand one day, though i cannot precise the actual time nor day but it's obvious that i'll die for i came from one place and will definatly return one day
...

In the midst of night go's after me a black structure
in the sunny it always behind me each time you kept mornitoring my doing
haven't you a job, i looked at you and i smile reproachfully knowing too well that you are going dead soon, tactically i painted myself black to hide my presence.
...

right here on my knees
i seek your forgiveness i have gone thro and fro
and could differentiate;
no place like home
...

The last time we spoke you told me how well you had love'd me and told me you were never going to leave me alone and gave me a ring representing cycle of endless love
ho! i was so happy and my joy knew no bound
i did not know you were speaking in parables, that night you wet my lips with kisses and dropp a garment of honour to my laps saying you have given me a life cloth not knowing it's a garment of shame
i didn't know you were dead until you were put into that pit and dust was cast to your face that which you have been preventing from touching your ordinary feet
...

Last night i slept and saw a pretty eye in a manger fully decorated with beautiful colours.
this must be a new birth i said
the gun salute!

Very early i rose every day making sure i complete the welfare of my chicken, Ho! poor chicken hands have you but cannot work for a daily bread so if i dont care for you how wound you survive the day? I have hands and legs so i worked for my daily bread.my chicken i gave you food when hungry, water, when thirsty, and drugs when sick, i even warm you up in cold weather, having done all these you decided to show gratitude and see me as your lord ho! poor chicken you need not worry i said. One early morning i went to my chicken with a bowl of food it accepted me with glandness then i noded and said the throat a channel to destruction. if my chicken is being threatening by the hawk it run's toward me for refuge anyway i said a closer friend has ever be the best enemy so if turning to be your judas i never mind for all i care is to reap my laboure.
one faithful morning i asked my chicken is there any gratitude and it nodded yes
while i was with my knife to reap my long time laboure
and the chicken crock!
...

Just at the time of honour the beautiful stars peep out from their duck
the journey seem's so short but to complete it look more difficult
though you live in the land were glory die before honour and you've added little to the beauty of the ground too soon but your foot prints were not erased,
having worked earnestly we brought you home shoulders high to set you in the town of stiller people
...

I looked and search under the sun but could not found
i search in the wind and it blew me side ways
i search under the sea and could not found, the wind blew and the roofs bow before it the tree whispers in anguish
the sirennic lighting kept discharging in the sky,
