Inspired Olawalium...
It's a great start to the week already and I got inspired earlier in the week to scribble down these lovely poems. I'm sure you will enjoy them. Do well and tell me which is your favourite and why. Thank you...
This Life Sef...
This is life and not surprised with all the news and gists
A lot of people lacked the ability to communicate so they throw the fists
They are on a slippery slope like a bad driver doing the drifts
I watch from afar the drama while attending to my shifts
Wisdom is from above not from abroad, no matter the lifts
My words always echo peace and encouragement, I'm not the one for rifts
It's normal in life for others to wish you are done
I've listened to so many people that want others gone
Some judge you too quickly thinking you have nothing to offer
If you were on a livestream, they even wish your livefeed to buffer
I don't understand the pain a lot of people take just to see others suffer
Others don't have to repeat your experience because you had it rougher
You can help without rubbing it in or being a puffer
You are entitled to your opinions but there is always another
Stop feeling proud because you have bread on your table
Can't you see the other person who owns the bakery very close to the stable?
There are so many people who had to fight for what they have everytime
It's not a given and they had no one to give them anything
For me, I had to prove myself all over again to stake my claim
I don't need to impress anyone I just want to build myself
Over the years I've had people doubt me but they made me stronger
I've also had a lot of people exploit me but they made me smarter
I can't tell my story without God and if you have a problem with that, deal with God
Life will come at you in different ways even from known quarters
Learn to look ahead and stay optimistic even without obvious human support
They can choose to withdraw it because it's their right
But you don't have to give up too before their sight
Keep pushing, keep trying and if it doesn't work out you still win
At least you have built capacity and known the extent of your strength
Yes, The World Won't Stop.
It's normal for us to want the world to stop and acknowledge our pain
When everyone goes through stuff, it's a natural thing to feel
We want to feel recognized in that moment of pain at least
When you have nothing to say to empathize, it's okay to zip it
A lot of people are insensitive to the plight of others, clip it
They throw their one cent at every situation even when uninvited, lip it
Not every situation requires your input especially when you lack sensitivity, hush it
I've heard people say "The world won't stop" to someone who just lost a child, they have lost it
Yes, the world won't stop but it's natural to show kindness to such a person, balance it
What goes around sometimes come around
How would you feel when someone says that to you during your pain? Consider it
Yes, the world won't stop for everyone because someone lost a job, I don't doubt it
But if it's in your power to show kindness, please take it
Others have lost their lives for so much less
And if it's in your capacity to help, please kindly bless
We all need that ray of hope, that tiny light at the end of the tunnel to keep going
Yes the world won't stop but it's common sense to help the little way we can...IF we can
There is no telling how lost someone in pain can be in their moment of hurt
And if our little kindness can give strength, by all means let's do it
It's not an obligation but it's just an act of kindness
To show there is still hope for humanity because we have lost our ways
Tell Mama...
Hello Mama, I know it has been a while since we spoke
It's always a mixed emotion whenever we speak
A feeling of pride and also that of missing you from my fake leak
Tell Mama I'm still pained she's not here to see me get to the peak
She saw the future then even when all I saw then were bleak
I wish she can see me enjoy some winning streak
For her, with her in mind, for success I want to be a freak
Tell her that from her, I learned how to be meek
Tell Mama I made it and I am doing great too
Tell her I've touched the place my name went ahead of
Tell Mama that I missed her and no one compares to her
Tell Mama that I still remember her smile that warms my heart
And I still remember her favourite spot in the house
And I don't see that spot without thinking of her
I want Mama to also know that I still sniff her clothes sometimes
I want Mama to know that her words of advice still ring true in my ears
I keep them close to my heart and I stand out among my peers
Tell Mama I am still on my way to the desired future
Tell her I won't relent until I tick off every achievement
I won't stop until everyone knows I'm my Mama's son
I won't stop until she looks down from heaven and smile
Smiling, pointing at me and with her words saying: "That's my boy"
I hope I can look up to heaven and catch your smile too
Thank you for your time.
