The Mind

Written by Ojini Adaobi It is so deep and limitless Even with the beep and facelessness There was no unraveling On the way travelling To the world’s unknown And I looked and none to behold  What could be that stronghold That keeps turning me around Even while on earths’ ground It seems I’m on the world’s beyond Can I go on to the next world? Without uttering a word It could actually be done Suddenly it's all gone Wait it's right there I mean it's still here Right there and here But it's all obscure and blind  Because it's all happening in my mind.

The Irony Of Love

Written by Peace Eneja They meet at the park With eyes wondering Glimpse by glimpse They caught each other staring Like teenagers in love Ready to explore each other Could it be lurk or love? For the mind is a concealer You  never know its true thoughts The rushes, the kisses Only last for the moment Before it leaves its chameleon skin To be revealed But notwithstanding they dare Each step they took together Shinning through With so much flare Bearing in mind The possible disaster Yet still hoping for the best Regardless of the pain Still remains some gain Because no one can truly live Without having a taste of love Bitter or better!

Life

Written by Ojini Adaobi It all begins as a foetus Going on with so much pain  And then it gets to nine months There the babe is quietly lain We are marveled at the wonder It seems like a puzzle to ponder But it's all real Because it's all from God who thrills! Now , he’s all grown and settled The man in him is drawn to nestled Again, he begins to fade The world’s trees couldn’t provide a shade Here, there’s a final breath The foetus has left the earth To the world beyond Loved ones tears we see in the world. 

Time

Written by Peace Eneja Before I'm late Tomorrow awaits my fate Yesterday is gone So will I too be gone But hey! Wait I have to live a life To  "drop"  a legacy And time isn't enough! Before I step out It had taken off Oh! Please wait But no it's gone! Like an athlete on a race Now I have to hurry To catch up, maybe Time, Time, Time Travelling without a stop I have to think of something Today I swear to  "make most"

Our Dreams

Written by Precious Eminent When we were younger We wished for a better life Life filled with laughter and pleasure Life without conflicts, pain, anger, hatred We were only but little dreamers  Who never stopped dreaming Other times we started each passing day With the thoughts of getting old and leaving The academic environment where teachers And lashes of Cain would never be felt Where names of noise makers will not be heard Where we would not be choked with homework Where we would sleep and wake up at any time without the  Sounds of morning bells for sleepy heads Where we would have lots of edibles to teeth on A world of laughter had we envisaged Not a world where we hand in our rights to a fellow Who at his whims and caprices disfavor us Today as I strolled down the street I saw a lot of dilapidated buildings Bashed cars, dirts flying around the place Fumes emitting from burning grasses Beggars at the corners requesting aid

When Fear Travels Out, Don't Let It Come Back...

Written By Peace Eneja My grandma tells me a story about her little nephew Pryce , who was so afraid of the dark that he’d prefer any other punishment no matter how much difficult it maybe, than to let him stay alone in a dark room. Pryce was the most stubborn and the shortest among his siblings, but because She knew his weak point, She always found her way around him. So anytime she told him, ”Pryce I’ll lock you up in the room when "NEPA" takes light”, he'd beg to do whatever is required of him.   It’s not out of the ordinary to be afraid, in fact one of the crucial human instincts is fear. Although some people believe that fear could be used to detect when something is bad or harmful and avoid it, but fear also makes people vulnerable. One becomes easy to be controlled, especially when people learn of what really scares one the most as it’s the case with my grandma's nephew Pryce .    I’ve come to think about what actually makes people afraid- d
