Dilemma by Isaacola AA

Oh, can I wait for a little more?
Can the longing in my heart
A little more wait?
Before fanning the ember of passion
Deeply rooted in the abysmal depth
Of desire?

Beckoning to the sleeping
Giant of passion into action
Oh, the giant once
Awaken cannot be lulled
Back into sleep again
Awake asleep oh giant

Can I tame this beautiful
Monster?
Can I bridle the behemoth
Beast of desire?
Taming, bridling, curbing
I cannot, but allow the
Sleeping giant lie...

Reminiscene by Isaacola AA

REMINISCENCE

Where is our national pride?

Buried in the dirge

Of years forgotten in timeless time

Oh the glorious years gone by

When there was light continuously

And the shout of up NEPA is forbidden

Amongst the young and old alike

Oh the glorious years will return again

That our uniformed men wears the uniform

With nationalistic pride

That our military and police force

Were a force to reckon with in the comity of nation

That our roads were almost in the class of autobahn

Our airspace was so safe you can sleep all thru the flight

Our hospital were competing with international ones

Our school were prestigious and competitions

Being a graduate is a guarantee for good job

And a thing of pride then

But now our graduates cannot even “spark”

Correct English anymore

Our professionals prefer to rush to pasture greener

Our roads are as safe as hell

Airspace is safer than shark jaw

Education in comatose

Health in decaying state

Roads in unspeakable state

Our political elites are as greedy as hell

Always asking for more and shying away from

Responsibility with abandonment total

Oh that the glory days will return

Where then is our national pride

When all we think is how to outdo

Each other in everything called evil

Devilish and satanic

We take a step forward and two steps backward

We spend trillions to create the double monster of

Book Haram and harem of kidnappers

Police mess is in a ” mess”

Who will deliver my nation from the bondage?

Who will save my people?

Oh that we will all arise

My compatriots to safe the fatherland
