PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)



POEMS THAT INVOKE THOUGHT
PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD
(ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)
By Bolaji Olaniba

There is one whose ambitions are greater than the sacred life of the people
He tosses his glass of wine to the massacre of the common man
The news of scattered human flesh pinches him not
He is immovable, because of his never satisfied political want

*Sigh*
Hope in the existence of the SUPREME ONE; Common man.

Though the ideology of our political dogs seems greater to them than the human Blood
All around the world are leaders whose smiles are as Dane guns

*Sighs*
Hope in the existence of the ALMIGHTY ONE; common man.

They stand upon watery ideologies
Claiming they will see it out with all their ability,
That they represent men called; ordinary
But they end up with staunch grudges
Maiming same beings by virtue of great greed.

Religious they say, political they claim
Being sponsored by those who put out teethes of deceit
Men of assumed admirable virtues
Hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They turn in the dark and wire out mischief

*Sighs*
Hope in the EVERLASTING ONE; common man.

You ohhh masked Devils
Claiming the fight for your right,
Your ideologies,
You touch not the Political Snakes and chameleons
But shatter the dreams of the common man
For your selfish ambitions.

Prepare to meet your GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY FATHER

Many framed men Hefty yet without course Many Huge men; many but yet not strong Many Daddies comes handy, yet not really Daddies But you my Father; you are out of this world Of the frame of a house set upon the hill which cannot be hidden A man brimming with daily tenacity Considerable yet wise A custodian of truth not lies Ever seen a structured entity with a structured approach; yeah that’s my Father Relentless as the Eagle strolls the skies for her eaglet in winter and summer Many men may refrain from the cold as a bane; yet in it, you toil, not issuing complain Spent time with you; never really seen your frowning face; still, u didn’t spare the cane Many men there is, yet a Good man is scarce But amongst the few; you aim for the stars @ ½ a century and 1 still bouncing like a boy I am certain you will reap many years in abundant Joy @Bolaji Olaniba (2019)

AND SO WHAT? (THE COSTLY NEGLIGENCE)

A couple of intrigues in my Niger area; I graduated with a 4.99 Cgpa Society: and so what? I can invent I even built a model helicopter out of scrap and the dustbin Society: and so what? I am morally upright I love and keep the laws of my father land Society: and so what? I work hard Earning my money from my daily struggles Society: and so what? I shun bribery I never meddle with corrupt practices Society: and so what? As a student I shun exam malpractice I believe in the genuity of my ability Society: and so what? See I want to become a banker, lawyer or an accountant I want to offer standard services to everyone in the society Society: and so what? I hope to take many kids off the streets Ensure a hope for them and ensure they are educationally fit Society: and so what? Even though this terrain is not smiling una mehn, I am just gonna keep keeping on Society: and so what? As a professional athlete I...

INHERITED BY AN INHERITANCE!!!

Many a nation bequeath progress to generations; even unborn Many congresses of men, a gathering of purpose and course for development But for one; a gathering of plunderers in disguise of political officials Men who are proceeds of dribbling correct political measures and processes They adorn themselves with Agbadas, saris and suit sitting without purpose in our political suites They receive from the common good, the common struggle, but they will never extend a hand of social brotherhood Today a billion has gone missing, tomorrow a trillion has been kidnapped by the animal kingdom Hmm! Cartoons! Even the unborn clamors en - route; driver! Please, Nigeria not! The infant is in debt even the unborn of the Niger - area; their fathers have fattened themselves with the gains of national good for no good Alas! What driver places his leg on the steering munching goodies while driving millions of people? Surprising? Well that’s the Nigerian reality, the bea...
