HOW LIFE FLEES

Buried in the deep sea
Planted in the dim light
That which is to see
Exposed by the light
How life flees is unpredictable.

Fresh and bouncing
Remains the soiled fingers
A room for only wild kings
Forgone are the unsteady fingers
How life flees is still a mystery.

Greater and further they go
On their rights they trample
Proud and heartless they go
Bruised are the precious apples
But how life flees, no mortal tell.
Precious Udemgba Beauty is You



BEAUTY IS YOU

Endowed with Gods gift
Crowned with heavenly beauty
The living image of Gods love
Attributes of a blessed land

The greatest is her vegetation
Colourful and splendid
The handmade of mother nature
Fresh and gigantic they look

Bountiful and relentless
She never lets her children lack
Great mother of prosperity
They lack, they who dont have you.

The crown of your existence
Beauty is you!

THE VISITOR

The uninvited visitor visits us anytime
He chooses most ungodly hours
Fatefully, he comes without invitation
To exhibit cruelty on preys
After stalking them like a predator

He oscillates and levels mortal flowers
The crowned becomes crownless,
The powerful, powerless
And the brave, grave.
He forces all to yield the call of nature
Hence no mentor, has he.

His solemn visit, leaves behind misery,
Showing no clemency even to gentle souls
The visitor deprives life
And lives curse him
But lives have no choice.

Can he ever stop visiting?
Will he please stop coming?
Mortals are tired of you Visitor
Do stay away and let free borns live
Go away, stay away, and remain away
Inevitable Visitor, please leave and let live.
