IF....

By Akinbode Toluleke


If all dreams are realities and not mere fantansies,
And each reality are accomplishment of this dreams
Then the world would turn to chaos.

If the sea besiege emotions, and this triggered by humanities disrespect to its compendium,
 As oil spillage graced its offspring, for there shall be no trespasser save its embodiments, for a state of trepidation would have trephine mankind.

If birds can tell the tale of two cities, for justice they cleave adjournment they behold, birds would commit felonious felony against state and humankind never be forgiven no more.

If roads could elongate for elopement, bridges seek refuge under the seas, tunnels placate their tracks, over humanities degradation of movement, leading to a Dadaism of Avangardazation, then people would mentalise their insanity to sanity.

If machines could talk; speak like the twitter, communicate like men, cry like women, scream like children.... Then the best of science would not be diverted to kill. For they would grade our minds, purity to the soul, and eulogy for a grey hair.

If I could seek the woman of my dream, beautify her membrane, kiss her lips, cleanse her paths, hypnotize her wishes, until she calls I would be fantod. For joy greased my paths, her radiant love I would cherish even down as death calls my attention, for her I phantom every bit of pleasure to seek her ecstasy.

  3. Simple diction is a poetic attribute of language, I think, personally, it's the choice of the poet to choose heavy or simple words. If I could seek my own woman of my dream.... This is a good one, trust me.

    This is a piece of writing I really enjoy. You have put so much thought into it. Nevertheless, communication is only complete when it is understood by the receiver. Slow down on the vocab.

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle     T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover.    Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than   Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot;                    Mountains tied to your legs   While eyes go dark                    As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light;            What a freedom!

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

WHO DOES THIS BELONG TO? By MIDÉ BENEDICT

This is for those Who see life as an unfair land, Where growth is fairly found only On luck's fragile and ferocious tree: It is for those whose eyes only See reality as a coin Always tossed to uncertainty: For those who see misery As an inescapable ditch, Never to be seen when its mouth agars, Never to be escaped when its venom runs, But to be delivered like a slave for a ritual, Thrown like a cotyledon into dry soil, To germinate failure like a blocked well, Hoping to salvage a droughty throat. For those whose first name is lucky, Whose last name is uncertainty And middle name misery, Know that which you know not that The poison in your tongue is The wine your life drinks; It drinks on and on till stupor calls for death And stupidity dresses its grave Like a young man before a mirror, Staring unthinkingly at his face, Till he sees greyness in his eyes. This is for those who see eye to eye With the words on this slate. Image by Midé Benedict
