GOD ALMIGHTY



God of mystery.
Changer of history.
Worship as an habitat.
Beauty of a million carat.
Purity in high places;
the whiteness of cherubim laces.
Sole definition of holiness.
Perfection laced with soulfulness.
A supremacy worthy of salutation...
the height of heavenly sanitation.

The uniqueness of a name.
Your glory cannot be tamed.
God almighty...
the excellence of a deity.
A spirit indomitable...
this is beyond a million fables.
The two edged sword.
The precedence of every word.
Absolute owner of the universe...
I owe you more than a poetic verse.

A LETTER TO YOU To you who just wanna throw in the towel and probably end your life already, cause it feels like the weight of 4 planets lay comfortably on your shoulders and your happiness just lasts only as long as a good haircut. To you who has lost the spark to all you hold dear. The passion you once used to feel juggle in your belly just suddenly disappeared. To you who has this excruciating pain (in your body, soul. Every single where, it hurts bad)  that won't just go away. To you who doesn't know yourself. You don't even love yourself first first. You wear the mask every single time so that it's caused bruises on your face. Sores. Scars. You have eroded You. To you who feels getting from where you are to wanna be is a very long thing. To you who don't even know how and what to feel. To you fighting battles. Though ones, you can't deal no more. You have this ugly past that brings plenty voices in your head. You can't tell no one. . ....

WHY DO TEARS FOREVER FLOW?

By Ola Vincent Omotade As I lay on my bed this morning, with sunlight streaming through the window, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtain and I saw the sky turn blue.. OH! its a new day I said. Just as I took a step to go get my pink hard smoker's brush and a Dabur-herbal toothpaste to spray on my brush, I heard someone crying in terribleness. I was weak in my spirit and all I did was to rest on my cushion, threw the brush on my carved mahogany bench and these were words that interfered with my heart. I realized coming to this earth, newly birth nothing in my hand I bring. simply naked to the earth I come, looking for dress in tearsa Oh for us We came hale and hearty, But yet tears trooped out from our eyes, the little helpless baby. Looking for ways to support living, we sow in tears but at times reap in joy, not always every time though. Going through the nooks and crannies of pains in craft works, handiworks and education (disciplined with tear...

SAGE THROUGH POVERTY

By Ola Vincent Omotade Poverty has been extolled by poets, advised by philosophers and prescribed by saints..experiencially I am going to lend my voice to a poetry tagged "POVERTY" Yes he is poverty, in retrospect he is a wide oases of sadness in the desert of drudgery, a smile in the evil forest of riches where wealth cry on those who have them. He does not know what to do, he does not even know who to talk to, do you know even all social conditions are against him? He win less and lose more. he loses human dignity and self respect he borrows and begs, even he steals out of frustration, he is naked he has no clothings all day, he lives a life of wants. He wants food, just as you and I,  he wants clothes, he sees fair ladies, and admire them from afar,  he wants money and a ride with fancy cars. He wants to send his kids to good schools, so they. Can become somebody,  he wants them to grow up healthy and young, he wants shelter against the inclemencie...
