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 ...

WHY THE INNOCENT LAD?

WHY THE INNOCENT LAD? If you wanted a blood like a vampire That gulps down blood like a red wine Morning, afternoon and night Why not go to the abattoir where genuine blood is wasting? If you must shade the blood yourself Like ‘Dinta’ (hunter) that scouts for deer, rabbit and others in the forest Why not target one of the miscreant animals from the highlands That eats up our crops and fights our farmers to appease your blood thirst? Why targeting the innocent lad? Why spilling the blood of Somtochukwu Ibeanusi like unwanted red oil? Why desecrating Eke-Ukwu Market with his blood? Why causing others eternal injuries with your bullets? Do you want to attract the anger of the market gods? His blood, your riffle spilled His destiny, you untimely threw into the belly of death His family, you have forcefully fed with undying tears At ten, what sin has he committed against you? And yet you’re telling us no life was lost Why? (To condemn the shooting of an innocent lad...

A lot of dusts have been raised over the proscription of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist group by the Nigerian Army since few days ago. Before he departed on Sunday for the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, where he will be expected to address other world leaders today, President Muhammadu Buhari put pen to paper to accentuate the proscription. This was done to get the heat off the Nigerian Army and to ensure that due process is followed, according to the report gathered by THISDAY.   “In a move to take the heat off the Nigerian Army and ensure that due process is followed, President Muhammadu Buhari has signed a presidential proclamation proscribing the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over the group’s involvement in terrorist activities. “Making this known yesterday, sources in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation informed THISDAY that the president signed the declaration on Sunday before his dep...
