All the great novels, all the great films, all the great dramas are fictions that actually tell us the truth about us or about human nature or about human situations without being tied into the minutia of documentary events. Otherwise we might as well just make documentaries.

I found that glorious throne,

I found that glorious throne,
You blessed my soul all the way,
All from a distance,
Think that the throne is upon me,
You are the will that gave me the deliverance,
All that great thought within me,
Think that these events are making me great,
In my great thought about life and love,
You really meant to rescue my soul,
All that understanding within me,
There is no more hesitation in my soul,
Give me the Will of the Sword,
You came all the way to make me sway,
Come and rescue me from all my agony,
In all that is to be done,
There is no more sorrow in my soul,
Since it is by law and justice that I see my face,
Come and give me the will to justice,
My achievements make me perceive the beauty and grace,
Never plan to sleep anymore in that awakening.

Still I Marvel

still I marvel
at the chorus line
all those diverse choirs
different cultures
languages peoples
singing the same old songs

these great men
great women
so proud
so quick
to sing own praises
expressions
of admiration
in self worship

look here look there
at amazing monuments
I made I created I I I
I the great autocrat
ruler with absolute
authority incarnate

no place within my rule
to share glory with God
give thanks to eternal God

watch autocrats
crow then crawl
raised high cast low

singing the same old songs
behold my great works my marvels
all this I the great bla bla achieved

the great bla bla basked
in all the glory when all went well
suddenly when events conspire
to rock topple idolatry throne
all problems were fault of scapegoat
fault of religion fault of God

why blame God
when never his commandments
were followed?

Scope of life

Scope this out
I have no doubt
I see what's going on

My heart is blessed
With scope I guess
To see what's going on around me

The scope of my thoughts are manic at time
But survivors are greater than those who give up
To the thoughts that make our emotions erupt

We look beyond the bad and good
We live our lives like God says we should

So scope this out
I have no doubt
That heaven is what's going on.

Whip

Great Great Great Great
is thy work
The fortune hunter
your uninterrupted lamp
has
torch light out the
parasite in their closet
like an erosion that called
the black pot of sacrifice of the perpetrator
Great Great Great Great
is thy work
The fervent farmer
your crude instrument
has
uprooted the unwanted ornament
in the vineyard
like locus waiting the planter

Great Great Great Great
is thy work
The lean steward
you never sleep nor slumber
in the quest of monitoring the
offender in the field like Nigeria
EFCC punching out the beautiful criminals

Great Great Great Great
is thy work
The no nonsense headmaster
with this
masquerade Cain whipping
the deaf prefect in the school of moral

The whip that caution the senior wife
is at the top of the roof for
YOU

The Great Are at Par

A great scholar; a great sculptor
A great scientist; a great painter.
They are equal in their greatness.
Give them equal reverences.

Robert Frost

Robert Frost,

Your wisdom is great,
And you know all there is to know,
And we appreciate what you teach us.

To me, you are the grandfather I never had,
For you are great,
And you give great advice,
And you are wise,
And you seek the greatness in everyone.
You are a mentor to me and many others,
And your wisdom knows no bounds.
We cannot thank you enough
For the insight you have provided.

Thank you for everything you have done
And all the great poems you have left behind.

Sonnet: The Righteous Succeed Anyday

An honest man gets into trouble soon;
Hard labor makes a man weary with ease;
Yet, Honesty will always be a boon,
Though troubles keep coming and may not cease.

In world so bad, virtues are hard to keep,
While vices catch all persons with great ease;
Nevertheless, there is nothing to weep;
The Tempter too, its labor will not cease.

Then, how the Righteous cope on earth somehow?
'Tis God who guides and protects them from harm;
For upright men, so great is Maker's love;
His heart's a furnace of love truly warm.

The man of virtues yet sees success fast;
He needn't worry of future or the past.

great comfort necessary
for all citizens who cannot
