I KNOW NOT WHO I AM

 

MY KIND OF FAITH

Wavering faith, that's all I got for now

I pray like forever

Do I get an answer?

No, I get almost nothing!

I'm at that point

Where prayer seems not to matter anymore

Because I've prayed about the same thing for years

But I get a one-tenth response

When I complain aloud,

All I hear is, "Have faith

Faith, for how long?

A mustard seed kinda faith is supposed to give me a miracle

My mountain-like faith gets me silence

I'm disappointed repeatedly

And, I'm probably angry

Maybe faith isn't it

Maybe there's something else

Maybe it's the place of grace

Maybe it's all about mercy

If these will fit me,

I want a large dosage

And I need faith as the icing.

I LISTENED TO THE NIGHT

 

TIME IS A THIEF

 

It's Okay!

LIFE'S AN EXPERIMENT

 

EndSars

 Dear Lord, Dear World, Dear Nigeria

Nigerians have spoken enough,

We have hurt enough,

We have fought a lot,

We have cried a lot,

We have sworn enough,

We have been brutalized enough,

We have been ridiculed a lot,

We have been ostracized a lot,

We have died enough,

We have prayed enough,

But nought we've got!

What then is next?

#EndSars was supposed to be the

climax leading a life changing resolution

Alas! Here we are, still hurting and

burned

Almost broken,

Nearly subdued,

Our hearts bleed,

Our eyes are teary,

Our souls mourn,

Our spirits have been wrecked,

Our body severed,

Our breaths stop,

Will there ever be a resolution?

WHEN I LAY MY HEAD ON THE PILLOW

When I lay my head on the pillow

 When I lay my head on the pillow,

I think of a land far away

On whose surface grows the Willow

With soft bed woven out of the future's tale

Dreaming of a world that never was my abode

Drifting off with a dreamy face.

head on the pillow, #latenightquotes, #nigerianwriters, #writersofInstagram, #yourquote

When I listened to the night

 I listened to the night

When my eyes, dry and wide

With lids far apart

Obeyed me not, and took no nap.

I heard the whispers in the dim glare

But I knew not the voice I heard

I stilled myself to listen

But it was just a waste of good sleep.

I MOVE ON

 I move on

After I've tried but it leads to naught,

When the thought of it weighs heavy on me

If it'll insure my peace

I move on.

 Life's an experiment

You know naught the effects

Decisions are cooked 

Hoping for the fairest bowl

Alas, nothing seems right

Because, like an experiment, life will arise

Tonight, when everyone is asleep.

Tonight, when everyone is sleeping,

The midnight oil shall I burn

Stack of books shall be razed to the floor

My pending assignments shall I complete.

But, with all the 'fufu' I ate tonight,

My agendas are about to be untrue 

I will love my bed

Dream all through

With spittle sliding down my cheek

I'll wake up tomorrow

Feeling tired, like I never slept.

#latenightquotes

Nights are longer than days for those who daily live in the misery caused by the pain of what they have lost.

#latenightquotes

#nightsarelonger

The moon travels

On a clear cool night

Making its way across the sky

Clearing a path for my life

Shining its light on my path

Meandering through the aisle 

Down the artery of life.
