See that smile

It speaks more than a thousand vocabularies

Within splitted seconds of time

Much more than actual words

Can ever cover and Mark in time

Do not give it a feign attitude

For it is a powerful aptitude.

I didn’t come with a golden spoon

Oh sorry, a silver spoon

But I sure came with a spoon

A spoon with which I’ll make moves

I was a black child

With a cheek the size of three human cheeks compressed

And squeezed just inside me

Which later became my alias

Making me look like condensed litters of fuel in a keg

But my Ma and Pa loved me

Just the way I was

Full of nothing but myself.

I refused to leave her

Like an unwanted guest

I invaded her

Sleeping and docile within the chambers of her stomach

She said she journeyed to various locations

Seeking information concerning the situation

Sitting in her stomach without discretion

But they told her I was there to stay

Ahh!! Of course I know I was there to stay

But at that time I wasn’t meant to happen

Because age shouldn’t have allowed it

But I was there to stay, not planning on leaving

So the whole showdown spelled out my name already

“The will of God”

So I happened.

It hurts when it does not return

With the same force

You let it out with

I know it does

When you’ve given your all

But durrhh

You receive nothing in return

When you care so much but

Nobody else seem to care about your cares

When you’re always playing the daddy’s role

But in return you ain’t getting much Hope

Then you start wondering

“I thought loyalty was supposed to be a two way thing”

“but friend this ain’t loyalty

If I must tell you

You are on a one way trip”

Growing up was long, I guess

The memories are now on the inside of the depth

The pictures are now blurry

Infact, the first five to six years of it are now murky

Mother used to say

“count yourself lucky”

For my days in the womb, the pregnancy

Was like nothing men had seen.

And there she was

Head high

Reeking of love and passion

Lights lit up

Man’s got to sit up

She’s a welcomed invader

And she sure cleaned the castle

Now when I look back at the puzzles

I’m no longer baffled

I heart you.

The figure from afar

Don’t mean you know what’s indoor

Figures can be deceptive and vague

Plagued by the light that surrounds it

Presenting everything nice and sweet

Or not nice and ugly

Live life not for the figures

But for the content

Which should be every man’s intent

Creating beautiful concepts

After acquiring precise knowledge of the precepts

Not of the figure

We have seen men

men beautiful on the inside

But broken on the surface

Men broken on the inside

But beautiful on the surface

Our government suffice

Be careful

For you might be taken for a fool

Follow not the silhouette

For you might be misled.

What happens when the curves are gone

When the sweet smile fades away with time

What do you when the heart melting voice cracks like ice

When the pounds of flesh un-pounds

Beaten down by the winds of time

What happens when the fun’s reduced

When the attraction is no longer induced

A time when the picture is no longer visible

And the affection is no longer audible

A time when you cannot hold me for too long

And I cannot seek in for too much

Then, when strength fails

What happens to us

Well,,,,,

Then I will seize to live in this body

And make your heart my home

Taking my heart as your own

I will foesake the picture of us now

And keep within the thick walls of my heart

The picture of us then.

You left home a complete good

And came to the academia

Now the academia has failed you

Must you now fail it back,

Now you are returning home to family

A broken and damaged entity
