AFRICAN ORPHANS






By Ola Vincent Omotade

Once we were shadow to the rain
Wonders perched in our eye interior
I guess I got a painting for every song sung wrong

You'd say its what's done with the night
You'd say time is a panorama of itself
So somehow, I plead hard to get this from me
And this halts the nightly squander in the cozy of an adulterer,
Meddling as been middle stroked with fingers

Country lassie! here stands chemistry
standing before you in suave Italian shoes
Here stands
In the mist of himself
With smiling lips and a bouquet of tulips.

Silver mirror for graceful silhouettes,

YOU ARE ENOUGH

Ignorance is protective. Because we know we will all die, Living is now a protest or an acceptance, like a waiting room where the minutes are in years. Like a dressing room for a grand performance. so we are preparing for a career, then a family then for retirement then... The concept of time is the scam of mortality, if we have to spend all our time minding it as we do currently. The norms about how you should live, what you should value and what path to follow were all made by society, if it was an LOC that was chosen by social evolution to make these rules, the members must be all dead now, maybe they would have now recommended changes based on prevailing reality.  The Society has prescribe these laws for it immortality but we won't live forever. We  are just  interruptions in the continuum of time, so ratify these values and choose your personal set.Everything is like everything else just until you decide to value one more.The power of money is in what it can buy and what t
