AN ADVICE FROM THE DEVIL

AN ADVICE FROM THE DEVIL

I know that I am no longer holy
Because for years, I have lost my glory
I know that I am no longer an angel
And I blame myself for being a fallen angel.

I concur; I am the father of all liars
Owing to my biblical affairs
I know my name is Devil
And without dispute I am the master of all evil.

But with my ink coated with filth
I write to the world now blessed with my guilt
I know the bible nicknamed me the accuser of the brethren
That’s why I am confronting you my earthly brethren.

You draw the angels in white, so beautiful
And coat their garments in spotless gold so wonderful
But my image, you draw in black, very ugly
And you forget that I was once an angel, very beautiful.

When out of greed you steal
And when caught and blamed for the ill
You blatantly accuse me and say “It is the Devil”
But did I stand beside you to perform the evil?

In your greed too, you seek me for a blood money
Because to you, money is sweeter than the honey
Your heart you hardened and killed someone that loved you
Now who is the murderer, me or you?

You see a beautiful young girl parading in shameless nakedness
And I inspired you with lust to see her succulent laps
Then after satisfying your lust, you blame me for the rape offence
Didn’t you know that you could have rejected the lust in your conscience?

I have no time to write further
Because I have to attend to some issues in the hell fire
God has given you a gift He deprived me
Guard your CONSCIENCE jealously if you must win me.

“An advice from the Devil” is a yet to be published didactic poetry collections. The poems therein are purely edifying and instructive to enhance the already dying morals I our societies. Catch you!

RATS RULING A NATION

RATS RULING A NATION Hunger engulfed a wealthy kingdom Anger began to walk naked on the streets singing its anthem The poor cry and stone the rich with heavy words While the rich cry, but still cruise their loots. She became sicker and couldn’t sing As unknown sickness caressed the King And since her hospitals are still under-aged to handle his case His ‘eagle’ took him to the ‘heaven on earth’ to be treated by the ‘angels’. Days came and died Weeks came and never survived The trending full moon died as well And another one was born, still he never told his ‘angels’ farewell. Hunger wore heavy war shield and fought innocent stomachs Hate speeches preach gospels on her busy streets Quest for a referendum on everyone’s lips Still his voice was stolen on his sick bed by the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’. Animals had an emergency convocation And concurred never to dance the tone played by hunger and starvation Since the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’ are eating the

DON’T KILL YOURSELF

Don’t kill yourself Life is a sweet honey The dead wish for its taste So why would you kill yourself? Don’t kill yourself Life is created for bliss That you won’t find in the other side Especially as you want to end your life yourself. Don’t kill yourself Life doesn’t have a spare Especially when suicide sowed a seed It has a destination of torment. Don’t kill yourself Though sometimes life maybe double-barreled A little suffering, a little joy Just endure, joy comes after mourning. Don’t kill yourself Only onto Him, cast your worries Because He cares for you And can do wonders to surprise your eyes. Don’t kill yourself The birds lack nothing The flowers lack no beauty Only Him feeds and beautifies them. He that knows each hair by name He that knows the stars He that makes rains Don’t you think He can make you better?

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US ( A Poem)

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US On that Monday morning that NEPA became a saint And blessed my area on like before So reluctantly I prepared to set out from my tent Since he was to do a live broadcast after his voice was missing for three full moons. It was 7:00am and NTA sang the national jingle Followed by his beautiful face that his sickness had starved us And behind his throne was the national flag that stood still Then he opened his gap-toothed mouth to calm our nerves. He was never known for lengthy words But amidst his speech that lasted about five minutes He revealed a secret only him and the dead could attest A consensus he had with the late warrior in his hometown Daura at midnight. The late warrior was his guest for over two days according to him After he joined Partisan politics in 2003 And in great depth, they discussed the nation’s fate Whilst we ignorantly slept, and were deeply snoring like a pregnant toad. “…We both came to conclusion that the country mu
