OGUN ABELE (CIVIL WAR)

OGUN ABÉLÉ (CIVIL WAR)
Our gods are still alive! Akinlabi exclaimed...

Strictly, my back bones, a match up;
Our fathers' right, the hope of our future,
We were shredded away, so they matched on,
Left strips we nurse till date.
Ogun Abele would be the solution-

Off, we go all out till our right is claimed...

'Venture not into intensifying conflict!'
Agba-agba ilu exclaimed...
I was birthed of the gods,
gods still inhabit the tuft of my hair.
My heart electrifies the strikes
Perhaps, make available when It's needed;

Let not our voices stop scream,

I once made a promise,
our rights, never to go untreated;
In oneness, we move aright, the time is now
Our fathers' right, less of strangers.

Akinlabi! Akinlabi!! Akinlabi!!! Ajagunta, explains...

'My gain gone lost, pain I reap.
The beginning, scintillating,
So experienced I.
The end, a set of bitter experience
My able Oreke, and adoring Asake,
Passed on, the night of tears lingers.
Venture not into this, we plead Akinlabi! '

'My promises...' He reiterates!

'Attack launched, we're here already
Soldiers, stabbed and stabbed.
The arrows and bows of the strong,
The beauty of their readiness'
Aloud! he shouted, overwhelmed...

'Vengeance, our aim; Vagabonds'

The acts, painstakingly executed;
Blood sheds, skins tore apart.
The result be violence, rights unclaimed.
Lest, we achieve this,
My eyes never see's home
The heights of the strong made short
Akinlabi, a forgotten tale.

I'M A LONE NINGER

I'M A LONE NINGER I saddled my cradle in a lone way Yet, comfort zone seeks I My beddings laid fallow on bed My rail wallowed without trails Wherefore do my pain born from?  ... Perhaps, a vessel channelled me on Back on track race, motive to trace My ancestral origin behead nowhere For I lost grand and ground of care Yet, cracks and strokes at befitting future ... The fight fought, such beyond sought Presumably, pre-seeable; seen before then Now my heart heralds soothing breeze Without hope from hopeful points Yet, my bones wax stronger to life ... My bond, my half; mentored mine in me My origin stimulated independence My ancestors simulated I, such to grow For my (he)arts are borne of hatred My heart burns, born of confusion ©Tex (2017)

LOVE WITHOUT STAIN

*LOVE WITHOUT STAIN * Never think she loves him wholly, All his faults are locked securely Never believe love is blind, In a closet of her mind ... All his indecisions folded Like old flags that time has faded Limp and streaked with rains And his cautiousness like garments ... Frayed and thin, with manystain Let them be, oh, let them be There is treasure to outweigh them His proudness will sharply stir them ... Gentleness to beast and bird, As the moon in moving water And a tenderness too deep To be gathered in a word. ©Tex (2017)

GREY

GREY In the underworld of top flights, Good deeds neither appear appalling nor cheered, Till the aging hair turns colourless. The future of the blind, hopeless, While the eyes 're still unsure who to see; ... The cloud exhibits achromatic colours Difference couldn't have been told, Between black and white of tough time Neither was right distinct from left- Red begat orange; till ages fall; ... A man in his prime, never wanted to go down the grave, unfulfilled; Oh! What a life of drama with less scenes The present, unsure; Future still faintish Then, as days roll, time flies; ... Lads derailed from good trailing paths The good deeds in the past, seem unworthy "Why should we stick to destructing ways? " Life's set of scent leaf; Odour, less perceiving Fraudulence seem appalling over nights. ... Now, grown children we have to cater, Rights unwardy of the gloomy future Our feet sliding off, from top we stand' Future seen from bottom, un...
