Unemployment

Nigeria, the African CREST
Designed by Our Fathers, of a great CONCEPT
Right from the ONSET
Our Youth, vibrant and brilliant HEADS
But what is it worth? if They are JOBLESS

For Our Leaders are WOLVES
Our conscience is SOLD
For greed and GOLD
Hmm...  How far will this GO

As the Youth are EAGER
The Leaders, even more EAGER
Eager for POWER
But power is ARTIFICIAL
For it cannot quench Their HUNGER

At the receiving end
Are the innocent and less PRIVILEGED
Accompanied by artificial DEATHS
Insecurities, poverties and ILLNESS
Oh! What a MESS

You the Youth
You may be JOBLESS
But You are definitely not WORTHLESS
Hence settle not for LESS
In Your endeavor, be patient, be sincere, be the best
For this menace, soon be laid to REST

I PLAYED I FAILED I SUFFERED

Words of Ceazar, 'I came I saw I conquered'. Words of AAwuroshi'ye, 'I played I failed I suffered'.

I played I failed I suffered

You the Young, learn to not show OFF
Of course it does pay OFF
But this Demon in You, hasten and chop it OFF

For it pays off only for the MOMENT
But being natural is what is indeed PERMANENT
Oh! And firm with philosophy too, this is My EXPERIENCE

For I played I failed I SUFFERED
Then I failed I changed and the Devil in Me I MURDERED



Guys this is just a bonus piece.

THIS IS WE

At Your PEAK, by fake Friends You are PICKED. When You LOOSE, You realise that by fake Friends, You've been FOOLED. This is inspired by the fakeness of friendship.

This is We

We SICK
We been DITCHED

But We STRONG
For We held, by the Family BOND

We have basket MOUTHS
For We talk out LOUD

IWe serve GOD
Hence, fear NOT
And thus, cannot be TOUCHED

We reached the END
No!! It's merely a BEND
For We are just about to INCEPT

We acknowledge TRIALS
Hence REVIVALS

Our Souls and Spirits not WEAK
This is WE

THE WISHFUL MAN

'I am philosophy, for I connect Man to the reality', another line from 'I am AAwuroshi'ye poetry' inspires this one. The wishful Man To grant a Man's WISH Is like to GREESE the WHEELS Rather, will I place My NEED above My WISH For in the end, My NEED helps realise My WISH Oh You wishful MAN Focus less on the FUN But more on Your THOUGHTS For only Yours THOUGHTS Take You around the WORLD And indeed make You BLOSSOM

PLEA AND APPEAL

Plea and appeal

Often visit My blog, is all I PLEA
Help boost My eligibility for CHEESE

Hence I pray for You His blessings, much as the SEA
But if You visit not My blog, then His blessings...

Still much more I pray You shall SEE
But this is 'give and take'

Therefore READ and be PLEASED
Then read and respond, for I shall HEED Your APPEAL

If this, STRONG shall be Our BOND, INDEED
Please heed My PLEA and I shall heed Your APPEAL

A TICKING CLOCK

Of a colourful, bountiful WORLD
 Oh! But merely a ticking CLOCK

 Fast reaching its end, as it ticks through its DIGITS
At the end, shall I account for every MINUTE

Hmm...
Indeed in Me It sends shudders down the SPINE
As I recall this, each TIME

Hence, shall I take to My heels ...
Make My work with God good and RIGID?
For My Work is defined by My Soul and SPIRIT

Not by My conditional PHYSIQUE
So My eternity, be solace with no LIMITS

Or perhaps, I stay lazy HERE
But guilty HERE AFTER
After the clock stops ticking.

A deed indeed the best

Prayer is SACRED
Do same to Your MINDSET

For it is an action easy, but a will HARDEST
Yet a deed indeed the BEST

The Enemy does His best to stop YOU
Do Your best to scale THROUGH

Leaving it is a divine CRIME
Brethren, pray not when You want But when it is TIME

Political appointee

The so called Political appointee 

Or shall I say the Politician's puppet or adoptee 

Or amputee or whatever tee

One Who neglects His duties

For He fears to loose His seat and riches

Mere riches, only temporary

He'd rather give in to His Boss's tyranny 

In the end, it is the Masses the Victims 

And the Leaders the Culprits

Today, We fear ridicule

And sometimes i wander, what if I wore their shoes? 

 Shall I yet stay principled? 

And when ridiculed, 

Shall I like Ali or Malcolm or Luther King

Yet stay principled? 

So I can live, even dare leave, a fairest World possible? 

Indeed sometimes I wonder 

My Damsel, My Princess

Witches I hear, are extremely beautiful. When I say this Lady looks like a Witch, believe Me Her beauty is way out of the window.  Though married now, My memories of Her cannot easily wash down the drain and She inspired this one.

My Damsel, My Princess 

My Damsel, not big neither LITTLE 

Just in the MIDDLE 

like the Kitten is She cute and SIMPLE 

No frowns with Her around, for She TICKLES

My Damsel, My PRINCESS

With Her Majesty, walked Me out My DISTRESS 

My Damsel, half Human, half ANGEL

For indeed are My blessings COUNTLESS 

Of bold round eyes as the EAGLE'S

And irresistible are Her DIMPLES 

Like Her am I in to music, but a bit of Sean TISSLE'S

And like Me is She in to the furious Vin DIESEL

Down I take You memory LANE

For this is no FAIRYTALE 

Like the patient Dog, I had to WAIT

For many a DAY 

For She is a PEARL

Found not by the door STEP
Suddenly comes the D-day, My fears I must FACE
Then to Her I went and said, in HASTE and TASTE

You caught My eyes, the reason I am BLIND
Indeed You stole My heart, the reason I have  lost My MIND
Please steal along My body and soul
For I am incomplete without You 

My Lady, unlike a burning CANDLE
Your looks DAZZLE
With You in sight, Myself I find difficult to HANDLE
As all I do is wander, in the pattern of Your FACE

Interrupted did She suddenly
'lucky You, for am single'
My mind skipped a bit
And instantly, I melted

Yet in Her soft light arms was I conscious again
In Her elegance, She said
For I shall take You to My CASTLE
Today and eternity, We shall MINGLE

My mind skipped a bit
And again, I melted. 

DAUGHTER OF EVE

Queen of My WORLD
Better yet, My 'Angel', just one WORD

Her words like honey when She CONVERSE
When I bug Her with My needs, She gladly OBLIGE

And all acts of indiscipline, off She CHOPS
My household coordinator, like the body and its CORD

When the Family DIVERGE
Her rays of light makes it again CONVERGE

With Her by Me, how would I not grow FORWARD
For She is My inspiration, never to the World am I a COWARD

A Pillar to the Kids, even when They go in a direction REVERSE
How can I pay but pray for heavenly treasures in Her RESERVE

If I am the Buhari the President 
Then She's not in a political drama nor CONTEST
Only to the Women, a MODEL

My African Woman, the Queen of My World
The Queen of My kitchen, My living ROOM
And indeed za oza ROOM

THE BULLET OR THE BALLOT

Inspired by 'the ballot or the bullet' speech of Malcolm X sometime in the 1960s, this is a piece that paints a picture of the 2019 election event.

     
         The bullet or the ballot

The Politician, characterized by GREED
Not by the Masses' NEED

Thuggery, bribery and corruption in the Masses, is all We BREED
So blind and ignorant are We, INDEED

For Us was all democracy Our fore-Fathers CRAVE
Sadly today, a phenomenon that kicked Us in the FACE

For has it created a corrupt STATE
And indeed artificial GRAVES

Hate speech in the AIR
Ballot snatching, We see and HEAR

Unfortunate events in the election YEAR

For the Politicians LIE
The Masses CRY

The bullets FLY
Indeed the Innocent DIES

Oh! What a TRIBE

Democracy, with its power in the BALLOT
But an irony, for its power now in the BULLET

Hmm...
Are not Our Politicians political HARLOTS?
Or Noisemakers, like the PARROTS?

A picture of Our election MATTER
The so-called Leaders misuse Their POWER

Hence the bullets FIRE
The People SCATTER

Remaining, are the ballot SNATCHERS
This is a no case in the court, for Their influence bury the MATTER

For  the Deceased and Bereaved, justice comes only in the here-AFTER

As often said, 'fight not fire'
But Mine, a reverse psychology

For do I seek to fight bullet with BULLET
Bullet with KNOWLEDGE

And not with PATIENCE
As patience have long consumed My Siblings since INDEPENDENCE

Indeed is this My MINDSET
For it is 'the bullet or the ballot '.

AAWUROSHI'YE POETRY

I am wisdom and style across ages, for i do not EXPIRE
never are you down nor out, for My spirit INSPIRE

I am the light, as I motivate MYSELF and THYSELF
Seek Me for Your entertainment

For I can be humorous and nonsensical 
Yet Informative and educational 

I am natural 
Yet i preach the Super natural 

I am ode and ballad 
Yet vast in societal morals 
oh! And as well commerce 

With the lyric, I am soft and love 
I am ethics and politics 
And the definition of friendship 


I am phillosophy 
For I connect Man to reality 
Then I mourn the deceased, in a superb eulogy 

I am AAwuroshi'ye

I, am AAwuroshi'ye Poetry
