Loud Echoes

Two sides to a coin The cards life deals us, unknown A wise man warned, Never act on these two Anger and excitement Its easy to hate, judge, get angry And draw first blood out it these emotions But I hope you know, If life played judge and jury You would be dead. Oh she is not my sister so kill her, I don't like his people they say, Let's give the slot to our blood Burn him, thief, ole, barawo, onyoshi When did this become us? You forget so soon,  You were moulded by the same Potter And in just a blink karma would deal you your card So I hope you wouldn't mind to walk in those same shoes Hate speaks several languages But love just one We are one equal being we forget That's why a dead man's resting place is always beneath this earth And we all are on death roll never forget Let love lead Let wisdom guide Let peace reign 

THE BEAST

On life's slippery slides It feels like a roll of dice you are made of steel The top of the food chain That's where you stain Where your preys are slain A beast of nature, a gift A perfect imperfection In your grace, they bow on that big bough A baby eagle is still an eagle Says a wise fellow with the pigeons it dare not mingle swindle, or signal up there beasting and kinging Never forget an eagle never scavenge for carcass But always are you first-class Your flight, non can dare It's rumored, it's as high as the gods But then a god in its own class you're Never forget, what a beast you're

The Walk

Hello from the other side I can't believe we're still in this ride This feeling can't be phantomed What we share like a mystery We fit like two peas to a pod Mon cherie, je t'aime My support system you fit like a sole Oh how you read this soul Mon amour, words and maybe the language fail me So I hope you'll keep imprinting your touch Infinity and forever can't capture this But for as long as we walk this earth May our footprints remain side by side And this sweet rumble, Last just as the ocean's tide

The Chickened Eagle

I heard a story recently and its probably my best so far. It's about a man who was walking along the way and saw an egg, an eagle's egg and not being sure of what to do with it decided to take it home. He got home and put the eagle's egg in a nest where other chicken eggs were, the eggs hatched almost the same time. So the eagle grew up and did what chickens  do, they would play around and pick the earth scrambling for worms and  also try to fly just above the ground like chickens do and do basically chicken stuff. So one day when the eagle grew old,  a bird flew so graciously across the farm and the eagle asked, what is that flying so high in the sky, the chicken responded saying that's an eagle, the king of all birds so great and strong but don't worry about being like it because it's an eagle and we are just chickens.  So the eagle lived and died a chicken.  In life we get misplaced, we loose our way but the decision to move or change your present state is ...

SPECIAL ME

A poem composed by Awesome Kids Academy's reading club.  By Chinaza David (Yr2) and Daniella Daniel (Yr 4)   I am tender, delicate and special Treat me nice and teach me right I am the twinkling stars at night, without me, there ’ ll be no light. I am the green grass,  The waters of the niger, I am bold, great and beautiful. The jewel of the savannah, that ’s who I ’m Special, So special,  That ’s what I am.

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,          Thank you, thank you for raising me different, thank you for teaching me what self love is, for teaching me to be content but also strive hard for what I believe in. Thank you for not raising me any different from my brothers for teaching me to respect the male folks but not thinking I'm any less for teaching me to be human first before being a girl. For teaching me not to depend on no one else but myself, for teaching me not to wait for a man to provide for my needs or to make me happy. Thanks for teaching me the value for dignity of labour therefore teaching me never to compromise my womanhood for the next pay. For teaching me strength and rising up after a fall I say thank you. For making me realize that a good name is more precious than gold. Thank you daddy for setting a standard on how queens and princess should be treated. For reminding me that settling for anything less than that standard is unacceptable. For teaching me th...

How She Makes Him Feel

I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon, And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon; There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue: I need a sky companion and I want it to be you. We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above, I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love; You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place, I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face. Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day, Every night your loving smile will be my milky way, The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height, For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light. Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion, Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean, I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse, Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise. We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings, Then fly as magic...
