To Love A Brother

-

Racism is as old as time.We are all one, whether coloured or black or white. Love is the way for us all. Enjoy this piece on togetherness and unity among us all.

Who does not know
That the content of heart
And the art of act
Is the difference in man!

Who does not know
That the cover page
Is not the content page!

Who is ignorant
Of witless gray hair
And witty coal hair!

How long will
You be tutored
That the color
Upon the face is a make up
Of outward deceit!

Let's speak the content
Of the heart in the art
Of true love.

Our hearts are same
Let our art and act be
Let their contents too be.

What's in a colour
If it speaks against another
Beauty is in valued varieties.

Hello Heaven

Hello Heaven, Heard you would be judging with how it ends Heard I would be a stranger to all my friends Heard the music would be alleluyah, hope there's highlife and not just the classicals Hope we can hip hop to the musicals Would the angels be on blue jeans, leather jackets or fancy kicks? Don't tell me it's only white robes. I'll be bored in less than a week. Sorry for all the questions, mean no I'll intentions. Would there be choir practice,I  hope heaven isn't all church service? Help me not to lose faith, Jesus leave the parables and talk straight... Written by Peter Nwanguma Have a Wonderful day ahead, Xoxo, Dieko.

You Lied

You lied I am not the kind given to mindless prattle Nor am I the kind to be swayed by the grace of your swaying lips Ever since I took to the fashion of judging mysteries with the guise of a wolf clan I have had for myself a vacuum long filled from it's doldrums I take your words for what they are, words! with the kindness and calm I can't but disdain each loose one I sacrifice at the altar of smouldering indifference For you lied to me,you told me I had too much to loose Grand papa says its always better to be left with the "oh wells than the what ifs" You lied,you said being self-centered is wrong I am the north star ,the nucleus of this journey breathing life&essence You lied, you said everything happens for a reason Not everything was a cosmic sign to begin with You lied ,you always do Written by Anjolaoluwa Jaiyeola Have a wonderful day, Xoxo Dieko
