[Who Am I?]
PART I
One cold and bleak a day-
Yes, it was my saddest morning-
That happens to be a Sunday,
I walked out, lonely, yawning
And sorrowing, all the way.
My life was that of ants:
Scavenging where there’s a remains.

(Poetry)

by Nima Shirali
As I awaited an end to the seemingly endless, I realized an inevitability. In fact, I realized it was inevitable for me to come to this realization. It was not “reality”, nor was it a “vision”. It was an unavoidable “truth”. I could not elude it...

Beautiful Cadaver
(Poetry)
2-09-2004
by Mary
A tempest poised on clouds of battleship grey,
She lays sprawled out on the inclement ground
And awaits his arrival to merely find a lovely
Face declined beneath decay.
Not a tinge of affliction befalls her.
Contorted with such grace is she,...

But everyone believes that

Push forward into a start.
From where God dwells,
He started it, putting time
And the seasons into place.

by Ola'lekan Babatunde
I am he.
Hey! I am he.
Enmeshed in Him;
Him that was, yea that is,
Loo, that will.
Hey! I am he.
His creativity exhumed me,
By a speck of His breath
I was released.
Hey! I am he.
Encrypted by Him and after Him.
Don't you see?

I need You
(Poetry)
21-10-2007

Without love, friendship, conscience
And mutual respect.
See, we're nothing but beasts,
Ruled and driven by evil instincts.

I'm trapped between these members.
One really looks actual and factual;

If I must live
(Poetry)
22-08-2008
by Isong
If I must live
Then I must live
to die.
For if I bid bye to dying
then I’ll be lying and dying.
For to live truly is to die,
then at death the true life is lived.
A true life is not by
duration measured,
but by impact gathered
that...

Jerusalem, oh Jerusalem
Thy walls shall hold thee strong

Just chillin’
Like an angel from the sky.
Cool guy!
I so love this brother:
Mine from another mother!

But he’s a boy, so instead I say bliss!
Our Figo himself!
He’s learnt to be himself.
Though he be in the...

Should I say words fail my expression
Like when Paul was caught up to paradise?

Feelings are fickle, that U know,
So I don't expect only emotions...

The Mystery of Mysteries

by Dereje Amera
In a world where REALITIES are many
In one aspect they are true, but in another they are like mirages.
When one thinks of them as if one finds the truth
They are found to be fake, and are found to be false
As TRUTH and HAPPINNESS are two...

by Mohamed Salhi
Don't become suicidal; remember the hereafter.
Stand up to wrongdoers like a brave fighter.
Allah blessed us by a sacred sheep,
not just a BBQ feast, a drink and some sleep.
Why the sheep and not Ismael?
Why wasn't He a male or female?...
The ubiquity of God

by Duru Samuel Azubuike
I see God every now and then,
There in the soft touch of children;
I saw Him in their every mien,
Only God gives the rain.
I see God in grasses as they grow -
He was there in the kaleidoscope of the rainbow.
I see God in a peaceful zephyr...

Living in a world in which nothing is not nothing,
Where one starts something, but ends with many or no things,
The process is the envelope and the for title one is told anything;
No one has a clue. “It is evolutionary,”
Was the reply all...
This life

by kaboyo julius
What offense have we committed?
We are born prematurely,
Wailing in agony, blind and mute,
Hearing that which we can't comprehend,
Visualizing that which we cannot see,
Guilty of sins not committed.
Why then do we live?
We sprout...

To her shredded soul

She was pain-racked and dumb
As she mined
Her oddest ordeal.

The ravish lavished her soul!
A gash it was in her conscience;
Draconian distortion of her personality!
Phobia became her constant...
True love

by Johnson Kayode Jedidiah
The world is full of wickedness
Hostility, hatred, bitterness.

Just for the sake of existence.
People endure their relationships
Rather than enjoying them.
People just tag along
And believe that...

Efforts are made
by men and women
all the days of their lives

with God's plan for their lives.
Only a small fraction of them
retrace their steps back to Him.
This has led many...
