A Diploma
Today, a diploma was placed in a graduate's hand,
Surely, it must of felt worthy and so grand.
A significant document with a school seal attached,
Brought back memories of a similar match.
A clear vision that I can readily see
Of a time when a diploma was handed to me.

The Counselor
As they sit behind their made up desks
As they try to counsel one and another
While putting the blame on the world itself
Which includes everyone, except for each other.
They look at their diplomas upon the wall
Which brings a smile upon their face
Now they believe they are better than one and all
So now they tell you why, you had your fall from grace.
They look in their books and go in a deep thought
And give you sympathy as they do speak
They are sorry for the feelings inside your soul
But for you, they are here truly for your belief.
They might stand up and then pace the floor
And maybe think as they scratch their head
Telling you the reason for the problems you have
And that all comes from the books that they have read.
They laugh and they joke as they converse to others
Who has the degrees on the wall like themselves
Where they analyze everyone that does come around
While inside your soul, they say they have felt.
So as they dive so deep inside your mind
As they try to understand your ideas and thought
They too have problems many of their own
And that too is the answer that they had sought.
As If you could look inside their very own soul
And for that, a diploma you do not need
You might find something that you weren't expecting to find
Which will be a little bit of you, or a whole lot of me.
As they are people just you and I
And that a diploma on the wall anyone can earn
As they have the problems just like everyone else
But I guess in this life, they believe it is their turn.
So as they sit behind their imaginary desks
Thinking the deeds they did and asking themselves why
As they read their books and stare at their diploma on the wall
Remember with problems, they are no different than you or I.

Studying
We survive and comprehend
The courses of study,
We cannot dwell in a playground
Itself a place of confusion.
We are meticulous in our transactions
And how we change our minds about learning
The correct diploma.
Virtues are like heraldry of the school,
A vocation may result,
But transact rightly, rejoicing.

Nduom
My love for you is like River Offin and,
My past is banished and exiled because of you;
But it is very pathetic when the wind blows you to the past.
Nduom, my love for you will never cease,
For i am the Swedish Lady next door;
And your love to me is like a Diploma in Solo singing.
You are always on my mind like,
The melting ice at both the Artic and the Antarctic circles;
But like each child on a horse,
I will always be there for you.

Forget all that!
You know, I graduated with an HND, which is higher technical, para professional.
Then topped up to a science degree.
I then taught for about four years, after which I went back and trained to be a teacher proper.
After that i taught for a few years in London.
Not to mention the fact that I have a post graduate diploma in business.
No no no forget all that, forget all thaaaaat...but there's a job going on the till in Tesco's of you're up for it; how about that then?

Ecstasy....
by the time that this walk and
intermittent stays are completed
soon, i shall be like you papa
sitting on the bench facing the
porch watching the sunset...
i shall pour wine in the glass
as i shall forgo all my waning desires
those wasted years
seeing life pass me by
i am untouched and i have not
touched anyone
except the cycle of those moments
all too human,
handed by the dictates of humanity
complete with the diploma
life completed,
ecstasy unachievable.

My destination
My destination is life at the end of the line
My destination is graduation when it’s time
My destination is my diploma I bet I get mine
My destination is to stop with the lay back being cool
My destination is to reach to top of the school
When you reach the top I want you to look over and have in your hand a four leaf clover
As you step on the edge and start to look down turn around fall back make no sound
So the next destination you reach is the ground
