FEAR. -Dupe Olomola


"Words set free" they say
But what happens,
when you're not allowed to speak
What happens?

He had a full head
Heavy brain with a ready mouth
He was willing to speak
He was ready

Words of liberty
Words of freedom
Words of peace
Words that heal

But he couldn't speak
He couldn't let the words out
And like a stranger trapped in a foreign land,
The words were trapped in him

It wouldn't let him speak
With mighty shackles,
It held him back
It made him dumb

He cried to be set free
He wailed for freedom
But like a little helpless girl,
He had no strength

Who will set him free?
Who will let those words out of him?
The words the world is waiting for?
Who will deliver him from it?

No one could
No one could set him free from fear
The mighty chains of fear, that held him
No one could, no one but his very own self

Hopeless Beggars. -Eze Victor


Hopeless Beggars

We lacked the Sun smile 
While we humbly stood still 
Under the cloudy boring sky 
Beside a staving dry tree 

Life is a Battlefield.
It owns different sword 
Swords of different name 
Revenge,position and fame  

Life is an indefinite Race 
We all must rise and race 
Chasing nothing but shadows 
Running alongside with fellows

Life is an unjust justice 
Which only take delights 
In making the rich richer 
And the poor poorer 

From Morning till night
We walk street to street
Bending,bowing and kneeling 
For food to fill our blank belly 

We became curse carriers 
As many pour all kind of curse
On each money their consents 
Wished to give the hopeless beggars 

Yet all we could get 
Is mockery and spite 
From the same souls 
We saved from curses

I wished someone could
Have our hearts smelled 
Perceiving our cute pains 
And healing our wide wounds 

These are the greatest wishes 
Of all hopeless hearted beggars
