Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo

I cry again

Lying down
Regretting the day
Maybe why it came this way
Thinking about my loses
Need a shoulder to lean on
Those shoulders now weak
Now...
The choking aroma of food
From the kitchen to where I lay
Sweet voices of music
Drown into my room
Into my soul
Into my body
Into my spirit
It pierces me
Soft and smooth
It penetrates me
I feel my body falling
I'm shutting down!
I fall to the ground

Unless you've been there before

Do you know how I feel?
Do you have any idea how painful it can be?
Have you felt worse before?
Have you ever felt half less?
No, have you?
Do you know how confusing life had been?
Can you feel it?
The pain in my head?
No, can you?
Can you feel it?
Have ever been so different for you?
You want to experience things you don't know how close you are?
And you're here...
Just...don, t ask
No don't, until then
Unless you've been there before

Masking yourself

Sasha screamed at me this morning
Grace yelled at me yesterday
Mom barked at me the day before
It was all my fault
My mistake
The mistake
As I knew it would be
Once we are alone
The mistake was not being able to avoid the mistake
Until fate avoided it itself
And what's more to bear
Than the lesson of yesterday
And then today
Life cannot be a charade
If you learn from your mistakes
And mistakes you didn't make
Because you won't need to mask yourself
From your mistakes

On My Dying Day

The trees will waver in the wind
People will stand within the shadows
In the darkness behind
And in them will raise sorrowful solos
The seeds will cease to sprout
The sun will rise south
Men and children will lie on open streets
Women will wail for my return
My corpse shall no man deem fit to carry
And so loud shall be their long silence
People shall offer to die in my sake
But no one can hold back from exit
How will you leave us?
How do we face it without you?
I know that all this shall happen
On my dying day

Mad Rush

They say everyone is mad
...to a degree
Picture
A moment of complete silence and enthusiasm
Lifted souls in anxiety
Suddenly...
A stimuli
A sharp blind smell
A deadly black response
Sick learned regrettable reaction
Then the thought again follows
''I couldn't have done that''
Cordial order
Organized association
Then...
The scream
The shout
Of fear
And care
For loss

Dark Swords of the Night

Won by the forces of nature
Sealed law of banished future
History repeats itself
At some point, you feel control over yourself
A solution reveals itself to limelight
Because every tunnel has a light
If thou walkest past into the night
Deeper and deeper your sorrows might
As you come across painful savors you knoweth not it's sight
Thrusting thyself into the sharpened dark swords of the night
Where the growls of regrets becomes terrifying
But Thou hath giveth choices to thee
Chooseth you the Light or the dark swords of the night?

Just War?

The dead calls unto the living;
And living unto the dead
I stood still to watch my friends dying;
‘Just war? ' no one thought or said
I lived among the heathen
Desperate they end the long fighting;
And for the government's little misunderstanding,
War calls unto the living
Have I not starved yet so long?
Have I not sat in wait so long?
Again so long can me no longer
No longer can I watch my life fall asunder?
Aren't there wise men anymore?
Are there no negotiations anymore?
What so great has caused this catastrophe?
Just war?

No, Not Hives!

Quacks, wobbling colony
Can't there be a change?
Of incessant worrying minds
And dirty leading seats
No leader without a follower
Leading money away
Cause they don't care if you care
Suffering and suffering again
There should be a Messiah, we thought
Or so they say there is
Which mistake was it
To chose a dubious man
To torment us with scorpions
After we just had whips
We gave him a chance
To change 'our' suffering
Can men be trusted
Yet we trusted him
To lead us to victory
But here we are!

Condemnation

The feeling...
Neither distress nor disappointment
Live storms roar under your
Thoughts and your mind bent
The uncertain feeling
Emotions unreal
The wind billows into the den
To help close the eyes of the wounded lion
Failing strength
Draining consiousness
There is a question that lingers by,
Are you not wanted?
Battled to the ground
Defenseless and fragile
Futile efforts and vulnerable
Lying like a battered corpse
Anger supported by weakness
You just sit there...
And watch...
As your time spins by...

Future of Straw

I have a future
I built with with bricks and cement
And rods and rocks
But weak bonded future
did I join with it
The future I share with you
Of straw and ropes
And twigs and mud
The future we can't rebuild
The future of love and togetherness
Turns to enmity and loneliness
Had I power to stop such strong envy
Probably, you know what we could have accomplished
Even by now
But I lacked vision
To see the future
Even though,
If it's this way
I consider it better
Better still were my hopes
