Forward Thinking

Image
Someday, my strength will become vulnerable, and my voice will fail me.  My body will be heavier than my deftness. I'll only be able to reminiscent of my youthful prowess in my feebleness. I want to be forever young, but I can't stop the progress of time.Someday, I'll die, cos I've lived after I was born. To those that are dead, fare thee well. To those who are about to die, salutation. My passing, NOT today. ©️ FERT, 2020

All hail the food

Image
Rumbles in my Tummy,  Body systematically shutting down,  Demanding for sacrifice,  The sacrifice that'll only bring harmony and coordination. Yesterday's munching isn't  today's sacrifice.  Each day must have its feast.  Like the Pavlov's dog salivating at the hearing of the bell, my mouth waters in a great anticipation for what the gods are sending.  Food, the fuel that drives existence.  Without it, the powerful becomes powerless.  We eat to live, I don't live for food though.  Yet I'm always hungry. © FERT, 2017

Lucifer

Lucifer.  Before you were formed in your mother's belly I knew you not. But before the beginning of your existence I was. When you arrived this world,  you chose me to be your enemy, because you were commanded so. You're always ready to forgive those who offend you but me. Daily you cuss and curse me, You go high on the mountain top that you may destroy me. Like a dogma, your only approach to me is attach. You found me unworthy to dialogue with. Is there any good without the bad? Can a man receive goodness at all times? You rejoice in greatness, But stone me for your failure. You live your entire life hating me,  Passing the baton of hatred to your children. You made me outlive you. You fall at the battlefield fighting the innocent me. You gave me immortality. © FERT, 2015

Balancing

My Gazelle running away from Danger, and My Lion chasing after his food. So like a GAZELLE will I run,  Running away from my Fears,  Making distance with my Doubts,  Gallant in my Speed,  Hopeful in Surviving,  Confident in my Survival Instinct... I will Make it. Like a LION, Oh I awake,  And then will I rise to pursue,  Pursuing my dreams with all tenacity,  Boldly chasing after that which belongs to me.  I don't eat Grass, no matter what.  I was made for this, I was born to do it.

Heart-Break

In the valley of Bitterness; When Heartbreak crossed my path to destiny; Then gloom companionship got glued to me. So I looked into the Sky and peep into Heaven; Heaven can you hear me cry? Cry of a devastated meteor; Asteroid whose potency burnt out before impact. Tried to smile but my voice came back to me as groaning. I was selfish!!! Everyone does that which is deemed best for themselves’ I tried it too, So was I wrong? Nope…My happiness will be in my humanity. I am a God, I am that dission that my world eagerly await; I have fuse enough, I need to explode upon my environment; For positive impact. No pride here, it’s simply self-confidence. It ended where it all started… Like Sango, the God of Thunder; I’ll spit blackish-red fire; Do not pity me, I’ll live my life just once; I cannot leave life alive. Alagbede-Orun, I need Iron to work with; Receive me when I return to you Ile O...
