The Society

-
What strikes our innocence as we grow
The society or our dogmatic refusal to change?

Curiosity has killed our cats
Viciously leaving their carcasses to our foes 
Seen a lot of maze stuck fellows
Running the cycle of hates and hallows
Buried in the dug of insecurities 
Thinking everyone is their enemy 

Selfishness to self incurred 
Damaging the very core of their existence 
Culture leaving them ravaged in poverty
Abuse never leave their polity 

Greed soliciting their deprived minds
So many never bother to fight back
Accepting the hospitality of an enemy 
Sleeping with a stranger -Ayo Obi

Let It Matter

When it's time for you to leave here When it's time to leave your job When it's time to leave your home When it's time to leave your neighborhood When it's time to leave this planet Make sure it mattered that you were ever even here The only thing we know is that while we are here let's do something with it While we are here let's love and let's love a little harder While we are here let's give and let's give a little more While we are here let's get to doing what really matters   -Ayo Obi Photo Credit:  Brand Quarterly

IRE

Been in search of greener pastures Worked the dust of the desert Just to get to that goodness I thought was far away All i needed was to look within Water my grass to be green Shine my light to my dark Be the sunshine to my world I realized I've missed the mark Lived for the fame Made my mistakes Just so I can get to this point Where I can boldly say It's all part of His plan He factored my mistakes Into my life's journey So when I fall I can get back up Stronger than before Now my test has become my testimony   - @obismiles   #Ire #spontaneous #writing #poetry   #words #spokenword #obismiles #writingcommunity #reason #live #love

Love calls Still

-
Image
Love sits waiting for a call All longs for love to call What makes love answer Motive or motion? The call was made And all became slayed Drowned in her embrace The bond is strong Love stuck close Knowing the heart is fickle Choice or decision? Made in a second Distance created The gap widens Who will build the bridge Love or lost? The decision stood still Love became a facade Embedded in the heart of a few The light became dim The voice weak Love speaks from within Only a few listened Cos only the few heard Time became old  Many were lost The tale went round Love was dead Love kept calling  Few heard Still -Ayo Obi
