Years ago, brother made a first class
today, I saw him rolling multiple weeds
because his birth place is a smouldering hell
where people pray not to see another day

We are all human
aren't we?
we are all human
until riches segregated us
...
Neither silver nor gold we have none
But i believe we can change the world of err
Our father's days had gone
It's our time to change the evil air
...
It flies, flies and flies
It goes up, up and up
It cries, cries and cries
And never beg for food cup
...
The land and it's wishes
They dwelled in riches
They continued to dwell
And was going well
...
Roses are beautiful
But you are more than rose
You are wonderful
Either you choose to sleep or pose
...
I am a student and not a bandit
Mixing Grammar with Marxism in order to be a liberator
Mixing lectures in order to be fit
Paid parents, tell me the tales of the children persecutor
...
The last time I checked, she has gone
Her words then, weren't real
Her smiles then, were all fake
But I valued them because they built worlds
...
MOTHER
my life is full of happiness without an iota of joy
my world is full of sorrow without sadness
My life is like a flood running around, strolling with erosion
...
I'm so sorry,
I'm sorry for the love I wasted
I'm sorry because I will be forever wanted
...
I've come to choose the Faith
We're here to take the road among the roads
You will either come with me or leave
I'm living in dilemma
...
Look up when you are bored
Among the living, you may look odd
Look up, all your answers are there
You will smile even without a flair
...
Listen! Auxiliary of Men
He was a boy before he met you, but now he's changed to a man
The boy You knew before never knew how take breath away from animals
...
Roses are red
Violet are blue
I'm Fredrick but call me Fred
And I only want your love and you
...
Not for children
The pangs and the humiliation
Let them be fearless with pen
Even when they are given a simple composition
...
If I could go and correct my flaws
My history will be perfect
I will go and cut my claws
I will go back without waking the cricket
...
There are thieves and there's a thief
A thief is dangerous than the thieves
Theives are predictable
But a thief is dynamic in nature
...
Inside the book, there are many pages
Stories of those of ages
Inside the page, there are many histories
Histories that portrays mysteries
...
If I were able to create like a Creator
I will concentrate on man's mind
I want to retire being a mediator
I will tell them to be kind

Homeless But Not Hopeless
Years ago, brother made a first class
today, I saw him rolling multiple weeds
because his birth place is a smouldering hell
where people pray not to see another day
where Education is key but leaders changed the padlock
I wonder why the word ' ASSU ' determines future
Last night, I called sister with a view to see her on campus
trembled was I when I heard she's now in Babcock
where students will no longer faint while writing examination
I wonder the arithmetician that divided the country
Some weeks ago, a man was caught with human parts in a broad daylight
days later, he was set free,
contested election and won
the country is a dead river where justice will never emanate
injustice presides over the innocent
I am there, not because I am stuck but nowhere to go
Days after, I heard they shot ' O.G'
only because he dressed extravagantly and had a new laptop
I wonder why ' SARS' equivalent to assassins
I am there and not stuck but got no stock to sell
Although I am homeless but not aimless
'It is good to be a coward in hell than to be a coward in life'
'If people's thought are visible, there is going to be a least death in life'
' The best is in us, the only problem is that we don't normally cherish is ours '
' Some words must be left unspoken'
Great job
