SEARCHLESS






My mind once travelled upon the journey to unravel the beginning
I jumped into the path; behold a bottomless ditch, still, I persist
I travelled along the road of emptiness, no company, no envoy
Still, I persist, I must see the ONE who before I was said to Exist


I saw Stars, shinning in their brightness, their dust filled the path
Still, I persist, I must unravel the beginning
The beginning that formed me, if thou wouldest not show me all, least show me a pinch
Still, I persist, the mind was pacing at a speed never yet seen


I must see THEE who raineth on the just and the unjust
HE Who shineth the brightest star in our realm upon all men
I must see the beginning, so I rode upon the Stallion of the mind, pacing on the smoothest of grounds
No end yet still I persist, I must see the beginning, my inquisitive mind thirsted


I flashed back as far as I can
Wanted to touch the moment I was formed
That I should recollect the instance I was thrown across
Still no end, but yet, I persist


I reached for the deep waters, to search beneath; probably I would get the beginning
When the Monsters where moulded and even before then, when I was yet conceived in the mind
The Mind of the ONE called Mighty than all, transcendent into ALMIGHTY
Yet I saw no clue in sight, still I persist


I hoped on, I could get HIM; the mind said, then I will inquire of the mysteries
Yes, of seeming imperfection around me that yet reveals perfection
Of Great, small and little complexities all over
Yet I met no one on that road, though it is smooth and I rode on the stallion of the Mind


Then I was a step into absolute meaninglessness,
I turned my stallion 
We had better go back
This beginning is painstaking yet Searchless!!!!

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)

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...
