Africa My Pride
Best known to the world
As a place of attraction
Yes!
...

With water rushing down
From those stone like balls
With a twisted face
I try hard to see his tooth
...

An online girl
An internet lover
An unknown friend
A mysterious lady
...

Gong! Gong! Gong!
He cries
Gong! Gong! Gong!
He begs and pleads for attention
...

The Birds chirping
The Monkeys jumping different trees
The Trees so beautiful
Animals and Humans Rejoicing at th break of dawn
...

Fake Life!
Fake friends
Fake! , Fake! , Fake!
I live in a world of Fakeness
...

Dear growing grooming me;


Growing up to be a Man is like a dream sight of a sprouting flower,  
...

If only she were single,
I would have smiled like a fool
If only she were single,
Then my heart would have raised above my head
...

Just like in a drama,
After every Act and Scene,
The curtain draws
The characters get to meet new people and become more developed with every new scene.
...

Like an Eagle watches
We have watched him
Like a burning flame in the midst of rain
Like a glass, he is transparent
...

Just like a plant
Planted in the skies,
They bloom blue
Just like the gloomy pasture,
...

I watch outside
As the sunsets on the hillside
Slowly it's beam subsides
In the countryside
...

Many have called us 'the destroyers'
Many have called us 'the losers'
Many call us by our man given name 'the rats'
But we call ourselves 'the conquerors'
...

She sits in the balcony
Tears drenching her skin
With torn clothes
She still tries to patch it
...

The oak treThe oak tree
Standing tall in the midst of others,
It is said that you're the greatest of all
It is said that you're immortal
...

Rat! Rat! Rat!
Some call us weak and dirty
But we are a part of God's creation
...

Many have used you to play with
Like you don't have your wits
You seem small and little
But yet, you can conquer the whole world in a blink
...

Thrills of Life
Glamours of a wife
Banging in my ears
Numbering my days
...

What a night
With no light
Gazing at the stars
Dreaming of mars
...

He has travelled miles around life
He has been travelling for hours
He has walked for days
He has ran for minutes
...
