BIRTH OF DEMOCRACY

Coitus for democracy happened during the promulgation of the second Constitution
From the look of things fertilization was successful
This pregnancy is very painful
Unfortunately we can't tell the length of gestation
It has been more than ten years since the journey began
But the bump has not even lifted the abdomen of governance
We don't know what is happening
This pregnancy is threatening to abort
Spontaneously or from induction of political activities
Devolution is the umbilical cord that feeds our hope
But it is being reaped from the spirit that inspired the desire for this great progress
We hold our breath for the gestation to be completed
I am told only one coitus counts
The rest is a pass time
We just have to sit with bated breath
I hope democracy is born in my life time
Painfully the journey still looks long on this bumpy roads
This nation is nursing its pregnancy
I hope it is strong enough to rise to the occasion

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

KINDRED

I wish I had a friend Whose loyalty would never bend Walk with me miles on end Be plain and never pretend A cynic who would blend But to me be a kindred A spirit that knows me Keep me and my secrets just as I would  To the very end
