LIVING IN THIS CURRENT CRISIS
In these days of turmoil and despair, Where uncertainty lingers in the air, We find ourselves adrift, lost in the tide, As the world around us takes us for a ride. But in the heartaches and the darkest nights, There shines a glimmer of hope’s guiding light. For even amidst the chaos and the fear,…

ABSENT PARENT
In shadows cast by memory’s flame,A tale untold, a silence untamed,The absent parent, a vacant space,Wrapped in echoes, a haunting embrace. In every footfall, a question lingers,Where is the warmth of soothing fingers?The palm that held, a guiding light,Now lost in distance, fading from sight. Oh, absent parent, your absence speaks,In whispered tears and longing…

PAIN IN A COMPLEX WORLD
In the tapestry of life, pain finds its place,A somber companion in this complex maze,It weaves its threads with cruel persistence,A reminder that existence holds no resistance. Oh pain, a bewildering enigma you are,An unwelcome guest, yet always not too far,You dance in shadows, ever lingering near,Guiding us through trials with burdens we bear. In…

Is this Armageddon?
IS THIS ARMAGEDDON? Is this Armageddon, the end of our time?The skies are ablaze with a fiery rhyme,The earth shakes and trembles, the seas boil and churn,As if the very fabric of reality were to burn. The stars fall from the sky, like diamonds in the night,The moon hides its face, in a veil of…

REFUGEE
Displaced souls, seeking refuge,Through troubles, earthquake, wars,Facing rejection, homeless and wandering,Confused, looking for a place to call home. In shadows cast by shattered dreams,They roam, lost in a world unknown,Their hearts heavy with burdened hopes,Yearning for solace, yet finding none. Torn apart, their lives disrupted,By violence’s ruthless hand,They seek shelter, a sanctuary,But find closed doors…

CRIES FROM GAZA
In Gaza’s heart, a war resurrected,Where bullets fly, and lives are disrupted.Killing, kidnapping, bombing, death, despair,A haunting melody fills the air. In shattered streets, young souls tremble in fear,Their innocence stolen, their dreams disappear.A land once vibrant, now stained with sorrow,Its cries echo, seeking a hopeful tomorrow. Homes reduced to rubble, a tragic sight,Families torn…

WOUNDS HEAL
In shadows cast by wounds we bear,A journey through the depths of despair,Yet softly sung by the hands of time,Hope whispers, wounds heal, a truth sublime. With tender care, the soul’s mending starts,Like threads woven from broken hearts,Embracing scars that tell tales of strife,Each mark a testament to inner life. When pain cascades like a…

WHAT IF?
What if we could turn back time, And change the choices that we made, Would we find true happiness, Would our lives be different, Or end up just the same? What if we took risks, And followed our hearts’ desires, Or be consumed by our fiery fires? What if we could free ourselves, Of all…

WHAT IF?
What if we could turn back the hands of time, And change the choices that we made, Would our lives be different, Or end up just the same? What if we took risks, And followed our hearts’ desires, Would we find true happiness, Or be consumed by our fiery fires? What if we could free…

NIGERIA FALLS
Neglected, cast down by a failing government.Inconsiderate of the people’s welfare.Generating tribalistic thoughts instead of oneness,Energising wars and needless killings.Ruling like blind men without a vision.In their hearts they gloat and thinkAll they have stolen is theirs alone. Fallen glory for failures rife.Accepting greed over growing the nation.Lacking knowledge that leads to prosperity,Love and peace…
