Light vs Darkness

 Light vs Darkness


Darkness said, No one can stand against me

Light replied ; I can comprehend thee

But we are friends, Darkness said.

No we are not , we are enemies.


I will shine bright even in the dark

But you will go dim in the dark

Ain't you ashamed?

I'm more useful than you darky!


Make jest of me ,mimick and  even insult me

I will pay a visit in your happy hour

To ruin it, haunt you and destroy thee

Then , you will know my worth.


In my ebb and flow, I'll still flow

In my darkest times, the light still show up for me

My shadow speaks in parables

Only thy lights can highlight it

Thou darkness can't you be useful once?

LONELINESS IN THE CROWD

  In the midst of interrogation With different perspectives, different faces Different discussions and different conclusions Also, different situations and different cases. I stand as a subject Not the subject matter  but one that doesn't matters An alien in gathering of the living Only one thing stands out Which is for better. Am hurt inside, busy in my head Rhetorical questions flow in like a river But where I stand I shiver Cuz, my words don't count to anyone Leave or love it  I remain real to myself. Enough of this insults! I can't take it anymore You're a human, I am human too So why turn deaf ears to my words? To my doings , To my way of life Is that not cruelty. The world we all lived in Is built with cruelty not purity Whatsoever happens in it  Take it as a phase of live In time everything will change Loneliness won't exist And your smile will be restored back. ©Dada Oluwafemi 2025.

DARK WORLD

Image
DARK WORLD We live in a dark world full of evil and good I dwell in a circle of threat,  You always see me in my worried mood My feet is placed on the floor of heat. You see the blind says: Don't focus on me too much, you might fall. While the deaf says: The wall reveal your words, I heard all you said. The rich as a god While the needy as a slave Weak ones belittled in the wicked world. A dark space, scary and suffocating No room for breathing Rules are made, but not kept People's words can split one's neck like a sword I'm connected to pains like an umbilical cord. I want to leave but am trapped. Can't you migrate?  Do you wish to end here? Never do I wish for all this But life happens.i overthink, constantly  I think of how to survive In the dark world, a place of good and evil Bargaining is not an option Find your niche Find your light  And let it guide you. ©Dada Oluwafemi ✍️ 2026.

AFRICAN BLEEDS

 AFRICAN BLEEDS Can we ever sleep with our  eyes close again? Can we ever move freely without being curious? Can we ever Smile and nod in acceptance... That I love my country? When is all this atrocities going to end? African bleeds, as the people weep Sorrow here, sorrow there like a beep It all happen so fast and unexpected Only the sad news spread with a teary wings.  Human beings are slaughter like animals Blood flows like a stream in every vicinity Where's our dignity? For Godsake, killing never ends Sorrow never fades  yet the Government sit and assume all is fine . Do we even have a President? Is he alive? He act like a dead man  Because his presence is not felt His orders ends at his doormat ,  His voice echoes in their house not to the country All this dey sele u dey ask wetin dey play? Na who e no happen to go say Nigeria is fine While other citizens dey suffer alots . Our flag represent what again? No be unity? But na insanity... Dey play everywh...
