FALLEN ANGELS





Most often than not, 

Heroes do fade with their names unsung.

But the shadows of their past,

And the candles we light all night,

Can at least serve as lyrics,

To compose for their departed souls,

A new song for us to be consoled.


Patriots they’re now called,

As dirty politics has now stalled.

For once at most,

We all agree to a toast,

In solemnity and not at the bar,

That this life is by far,

An expedition with a divine illusion.


Yes indeed they were;

Heroes as we now call them.

Not because it sounds like an anthem,

But for the national emblem,

They did responsibly revere.


Was it the natural order?

Is it because someone failed to bother?

Was it their time?

Are the questions we continue to mime.

But will the answer save us a dime,

As a nation in her own prime?


Let the eight angels fly high,

As families make a thirst quenching sigh,

And create for them a legacy in perpetuity.

For if we seek another opportunity,

And let these men go forgotten,

There shall be no more fallen angles from heaven.

DREAMSCAPE

An experience of a walking life; Or thoughts of the day in motion at night, Flowing peacefully in spirit like a kite. Awaiting an Estimated Time of Arrival, In your heart’s own built terminal. You woke up from the thunderous snore, Just to realize you were in a slumber. But you vividly remember; The realities you did encounter, And how beautiful it was that you saw. So you shared your story in the morning, While you were still yawning. Yes you shared; With people of like-mindedness. And boom! you are a hit; A one time wander, Now a lifetime wonder, With whom everyone wants to sit, But your dreams, don’t let them plunder. You are now a champion, So go ahead my companion. Go ahead with that plan; Store as many as you can, If it can’t be frozen, just get it canned.

MY FIRST EID al-FITR

Being born in a Medina community,  Gave me the zeal to help humanity, Not for their lack of man's basic need, But for the luck that I now have people to feed. Seldom did I take part in Islamic activities, For the idea of the zongo hostilities. Yet, As long as I grew with their husbands, I realized not all sad news is created by their hands. It's only a notion that each child is assumed to have played in the sands. With my encounter with the second Sheikh of the land, Islam in focus was what thought me the goodness in Islam's demand. The rhetoric is only an iota of truth in each religion, That there is a "Mensah" in each tradition. I played with Abdul after my Sunday school, And ate with Aisha each break at school. Sometimes Sheikh himself took us out to the pool, Don't fight was his only golden rule. Amelia would bring my mum a basket of food, And I cannot forget the symbolic aroma that flies in all their meals. Eve...

The EID of men

I was born in a Madina community,  Where needs were not priority but just wants, Yet those who had to help said they can’t. And that gave me the zeal to help humanity, Not for their lack of man's basic need, But for the luck that I now have people to feed. Seldom did I take part in Islamic activities, For the idea of the zongo hostilities. Yet, As long as I grew with their husbands, I realized not all sad news is created by their hands.
