Our Last Breath (...The Only Debt We Owe Time)


Most of the people still call this planet their home
Some murder innocent souls just to own a piece
Others believe theirs is somewhere in the skies
Alas a handful of people hope of life hereafter
But nobody knows what lies beyond this realm

Our expectation of an eternal journey is no ruse
As many would argue in order to dent the truth
Of what had been and continues to use everyone
In a world where many of us are still deliberating
If there's someplace somewhere only death gives

A new home after earth will always be a hotshot
About the soul's endurance beyond the end of life
And this has become a tasteless thought for many
Who strongly believe that our presence on earth
Was as a result of a time-worn blast presumption

No human can stop or slow the passage of time
Since our existence is remotely measured by it
After all it started the day we were duly conceived
Time had been and still remains the marker of life
That ensures our exits when we run out of breath

The thought of your last breath could be frightening
A moment of a fleeting transition into the unknown
Where many believe reincarnation is their best shot
To a place where they hope to relive their lives again
But who wants to return or knows where we're headed?


In Loving Memory of 
Emuesiri, Eunice, Rosemary, Tunde, Wale and others who PAID their DEBTS too SOON -- and to everyone still breathing: "conserve your breath until the timekeeper beckons"

HATERS (...Your Success Is Their Nightmare)


The haters are always wallowing in their bitterness
As they still run about with your league of enemies
Who in times past wrote you off with their tongues
At the time your clock was way behind schedules

They confuse their self-created fame with relevance
Telling everyone how better they are than you are
Even though their privilege is no match for your wits
But wonder why you keep flourishing in their faces

They besmirch and shrug off your name in the open
Then run to you in secret when they have problems
A ploy to crawl their way back into your blissful life
Just to have a new story to tell when they convene

These human-vultures call you "brothers or sisters"
Titles they're willing to disparage with their words
Whenever your name overshadows theirs in public
As they wrestle and envy your endless successes

They will not give up on your stories anytime soon
That's the only oxygen they need to remain useful
Because they are always searching for new shoes
And they cannot go on barefoot without your name


To The HATERS: Get A Cure Now And Live Free!
