Glue the clue and paint it blue,
Tie it high and don't you cry.
Hang the flag and let it brag,
Free thy will and let it feel.
...
Tongues wag in self composed augury,
Awarding a wink to their coggery,
Still, I took a step.

She wouldn't take her reflection
Off the mirror
Staring at her wrinkled skin
With a disquiet expression, As Though,
...
Like a child learning to walk
Lord guide me through this Odyssey
Stay with me, don't let go of my Hands
I need you, I want you,
...
How will the world be without God -
I wonder
The kneels of men keep bowing down -
...
I saw the way her wrapper was tied -
So tight that the wind couldn't respond.
I saw the way each meal was made -
Without spice and written recipe.

Hello Grandpa! Spunky Grandpa! Can you see me?
The little voice whispered from behind -
with it's shadow running about -
like that of a funny bunny -

I got to fathom
The awful flank of espousal
With mom and dad
Always at each others throat

I'm Simply a Nigerian.)
Dear Jittery Heart
Glue the clue and paint it blue,
Tie it high and don't you cry.
Hang the flag and let it brag,
Free thy will and let it feel.
Bring thy string and let us sing,
Until it rain and fall again.
Blow the snow and let them know,
Thy tribe will rise and lift the prize.
Starve the grave and Just be brave,
Time will climb and see thy smile.
Purge thy grudge and let it forge,
Sweet jelly-belly and tasty taffy.
Up the hub and take a scrub,
Each day will fall and grow back tall.
Bake thy cake and take a break,
Don't be dumb and hit the drum.
Be the me and don't you flee,
Keep the strive and you might live.
Light the night and be delight,
Gaze the sky and kiss goodbye.
Each day will fall and grow back tall. In a different way without any pay.
