Uplifting Poetry.

Another collection from the stable of Olawalium... This is one thing I enjoy doing without thinking deeply. I've taken it upon myself to share more of my works now and I am working on converting a lot of them into books. It's a work in the pipeline... I still have time to work on so many more.

Alone.

I was alone in my space and needed a lifting
I stared at the glass of milk without any sipping
Alone and lost in thoughts; caught up in my thinking
Then your voice came on, and it brought me back around
That voice gave me a soothing relief and it was like music
My whole being came alive and I longed to hear it even more
It was sweeter than the sound of a nightingale
Let your voice ring my darling, my whole being longed for it
Let your voice ring and ease me of my worries and cares
Let the sound of your voice be a pleasant song to my ears
Let the melody that comes from those sweet scaled lips
Be the escape I have always needed from the worries and thoughts
Let your voice ring, my darling, because of the joy it gives
My heart leapt for joy at the sound of your sweet voice
My ears and eyes followed suit; hoping to hear more and catch a glimpse
Your voice is music to my ears, my darling, let your voice ring more and louder

Just How?

How did we get to this point as a nation?
We seem to be moving but we are at one station
Everyone seems to be really dry, with no lotion
All we keep doing is making noise with no motion
The rights of everyone is being cut down; no portion
They keep taking lives and it seems without any caution
They keep the big chunk and still fight people for their ration
How did we get to this point, even as humans?
We have allowed greed to cut deep into our heart
You hardly find people who are selfless on this earth
How did we allow things to get this bad, as humans?
How did we forget to be our brother’s keepers?
Why did we focus on the greater goods for private gains?
We seem so self-focused that we have forgotten other’s pains
We need to do better as humans, so we can reflect that light
Only when we become better as humans can we give insight
To how we need to turn our nation aright with a better mindset

A Dark World.

The world is full of darkness; that we know
We need to be the light to show the way
While the sun shines, we need to make hay
Whatever we do in life, we will definitely pay
This is why we need to shine the light for others
Let your light shine so bright for people around
Those who shine their lights can’t keep it away
From themselves; so you are doing yourself a favour too
Shine your light to give others a new lease of life
Many people have been used to the wrong ways of things
Your light can bring a better view on how things could be done
Shine your light, shine it so bright that greed will disappear
Let your light shine so bright that hatred would be relegated
Let it shine, let your light shine, so that love can win
We have had enough bloodshed, greed and oppression
Shine your light so others can look within and shine theirs too

Hard To Know.

It is hard to know what is buried on the inside
They might wish you evil and still lay by your side
They are nice but deep within they want woe to betide you
Not all that glitters is gold, they have come to say
Deliver us from evil; we all need to constantly pray
Deceptive look, regardless of the time of the day
Study every man’s content first, and then keep them at bay
Their words are as slick as oil, but those words cut like a knife
They can come as a husband or even as a wife
That is what we have come to see in this life
Not everything is as they first appear to be
They might be smiling with you but their heart isn’t
They might tell you what to do but then ruin it after
A lot of acts can be found with different humans
A lot to see in everyone even with the changing faces
Study every man’s content before feeding it to your soul

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why  I advise people to take a dose of "Olawalium" daily. 🙈
