The Strength To Fight

Esinam is tired

So she decides to throw in the towel

Not because she doesn't believe in him

But because he doesn't believe in them

***

At first, she was hesitant to run

Then she decided it wasn't such a bad idea

After all, it seemed he wanted to run as well

Why else would he come out all geared up, sneakers and all ?

Now I feel awful

Because I knew he was running nowhere

Well, atleast not with her

Yet I said nothing, when she told her all

***

Esinam is tired

She is all out of fight

And she doesn't want to run anywhere .. with anyone

She's worn out and drained .. she hibernates

I wish I could wake her up

Screaming 'Listen! Listen! Someone else calls for thee!'

'Please, don't let your past affect your future!'

But, am I not the 'friend' who kept her mouth zipped?

Sometimes I like to think I made an effort

But really, I chose the safe side

Meddled, and yet didn't

Said something, and yet really said nothing!

***

Esinam wakes up

Wondering who dares to wake her up?

Who is this new frog, with his agitating croak

And surely, he must want her to believe he is singing, init?

Esinam is tired

She is all out of fight

But this frog, this frog just won't shut up

Froggy has some balls! Boy! Froggy's got some fight in him!

Well Esinam is out of energy

And it feels good to have someone else do all the work

So she decides to sit down and relax

And watch Froggy on show!!!

***

Oh, Esinam
.. sigh

Only Crazy About You

It beats my imagination

Defies all that is good within me

These feelings I have for you

Quite dysfunctional, to say the least

All would agree that I'm crazy

When really, if they bothered to rethink

They'd see that I'm only crazy about you

I love you! I love you! I love you!

In a - I lose my senses when we're not together - kinda way

In a - I can only fall asleep in your arms - kinda way

In a - Pretend to love soccer so we can have more in common - way

In a - I actually hate your best friends but you'll never know - kinda way

In a - I'll only be who you want me to be - kinda way

In a - Tell me to jump, and I'll always ask.. How high? - kinda way

I love you in a crazy, disturbing, nonsensical manner

Don't ask me to explain

And don't tell me I have deep unresolved issues

Because the only issue I have is you

You control all my senses and render them useless

So don't ask why I lie about who I am

When all I want to be is whoever you are eager to love

I may be crazy, but I'm mostly crazy about you

When the Law becomes bullshit (#1)

'All the right friends in all the wrong places

So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you
They'll be the King of Hearts, 

And you're the Queen of Spades...

I know we've got it good
But they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down,
before anybody's knowing our name.'    

                    - All The Right Moves, by One Rupublic

Who determines what the law is?

I'd say God should be the most important lawmaker

But that comes with complications, doesn't it?

For one thing, not everyone believes in God

And those who do can be very selective

Choosing which laws to obey, and which to toss

Some do not even know what a conscience is

Yet they are so quick to judge others

That being said, I ask again..

Who determines what the law is?

When corruption flows through ones veins like foul blood

When judge X, who decides what is right and wrong..

.. Does what is wrong as well, and uses his discretion

Humph! Some discretion! Some Law!

How can such a person have the power to punish me?

When judge X, was influenced by the money Y gave

When judge X's cousin plays golf with Y

When judge X is sleeping with D's wife

Are you kidding me? What sort of joke is that?

When connections are all one ever needs in life

Who determines what is wrong or right

When sometimes working hard doesn't pay off

When not knowing anyone important is worse than being poor

When suddenly you realize the world is run by lawless fools

Yes, I said lawless fools, and feel free to sue me

Because I'll be the first to say

That when the world is ruled by corruption, dishonesty, greed and 'egos'

By people to whom the word 'conscience' means nothing

Then the law is as good as cow dung!

Do you think I'm special?

Do you think I'm nice?

Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?

Between the noise you hear

And the sound you like

Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?

It can be possible that rain can fall,

Only when it's over our heads

The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away

Over the world is death.

They said, everybody knows, 

Everybody knows where we're going

Yeah, we're going down

~ Where do you draw the line between morality and the law? Should they be inter-connected? Putting morality aside, and looking at just the law, how does one trust the legal system in a place where corruption reigns. When a case can be in court for 10years because someone paid the Judge to stall the case.. When one party's lawyer claim he is sick, just so the case can be adjourned, and then you him eating some huge fufu at a 'chop-bar'... when one can just go t the cops and have someone arrested, and if you don't know the IGP, then I guess you'll be stuck in the cell for more that 48hrs.. When the president or some random minister can have someone put in jail for some random reason.. when someone is put in jail for smuggling drugs, put in jail for say about 10years, and two weeks later you see him chilling at the bar and buying drinks for everyone. As I said, in a country full of lawless fools, the law will continue making a fool out of everyone-- Cow Dung!

The Reason I Smile

At first when I see you cry,
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile I go ahead and smile

                                                  by Lilly Allen - Smile

Dear selfish, heart-less one

How are you?

I smile when I ask that question

Pretending like I actually care

But secretly I hope your life sucks

I hope you cry every night

And nothing ever works out for you

I hope your loved ones forget about you

And you wind up with fake and shallow friends

I hope you fail at everything you do

And break an arm and leg while you are at it

I hope your bank account is always empty

And your head as well

I hope everyday you wake up with regret

Regretting the day you were born

Regretting the day you did me wrong

I'm probably a hypocrite for pretending like I care

Offering soothing words when you break down and cry

Don't I seem like the perfect and sweetest person?

Well guess what? No one is perfect

I look back at how much you've hurt me over the years

And how unbelievable callous you can be

Then I look at you worrying and crying

I go home and toast by my lonesome

I smile and laugh and roll on the floor

I'm happy, I'm ecstatic

I hope you never stop failing

And I hope you never stop crying

For the pleasure I get from seeing you fall..

.. Aah, Orgasmic !!

'Bitter, mentally unstable person' is an extreme case, quite evil, clearly needs help... but isn't this an interesting concept? One of my friend's was talking about his ex-girlfriend, and he said 'I hope she gets hit by a bus and breaks her leg'...dayumm!.. 

Angels Cry

Should'nt have walked away
I would have stayed if you said
We could have made everything ok
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground

There was no melody as sweet as ours
We fit perfectly, like a hand in a glove
I would look at you and wonder is you were real
Always scared I would one day wake up
And there would be no You and Me
Now I live in that nightmare
And all I wish is to fall asleep and dream again
To play that sweet melody of You and Me

I could'nt have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Supernatural love conquers all
Remember we use to touch the sky
And lighting dont strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True love is a gift, but we let it drift in a storm
Everynight I feel the angels cry

Always thought we could make it through the storm
Now I'm like a shattered glass bottle
And, Oh does it cut like a knife
Ripping through my very soul
How could I have prepared myself for this
Now silence is terrible
And all I hear in my head, are the angels cry
But their cries and tears are not as bitter as mine

Limitless, omnipresent kind of love
Couldnt have guessed it would just up..
.. And disappear in a whirlwind
Here I am, walking on this narrow rope wobbling

But wont let go,waiting for a glimpse of the suns light
I know I can stand, just pull me back up

But there ain't no hurricane, its just us

Baby, we can get back that shine

A fallen soldier of love
Sitting in my little corner
Still nursing those terrible wounds
Wondering if they will ever heal
Wondering if I'll ever be the girl I used to be
You might be able to fix a broken bottle
But you can never fix the lines
Maybe if we fix us, I can fix me
For a melody like ours cannot be played by any other

And lighting dont strike the same place twice
When you and i said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True loves a gift but we let it drift in a storm
Everynight I feel the angels cry 


For a melody like ours cannot be replicated
And lightening doesn't strike the same place twice
And I'll never sing like that again
And I can never love like that again
And I want that lightening
I want those fireworks
Lets find that love again
Do you not hear the angels cry for us?

          
                                                  ..... Shels

~ Inspired by Mariah Carey's 'Angels Cry'.... I'm IN LOVE with that song!!!!

~ Does lightening really not strike the same place twice? lmao.. Well, even if it rarely does, I'm sure it strikes pretty darn close to it, so when you find yourself on the floor, do pick yourself up (don't wait for anyone to come pick you up, cos homie, you came to this world alone), and go find lightening, tell it to strike again, somewhere different, somewhere better, somewhere new... and if lightening wants to strike the same place twice, it can feel free to do that, because some things are just meant to be. ... but some things aren't.

~ FOR YOU, YANG... See, I came through for you after all. This is all yours, just for you and only you. Tx for being so wonderful. :D (ps. love the song n all, but yo, thats some pathetic ish. lol. what ever happened to getting it together?)

Out Of The Abundance of The Heart

They say out of the abundance of the heart

The mouth speaketh

But these strange words you speak
No doubt you expect to warm me up inside
But how do I know that these sweet words
Are not coming out of the abundance of your bullshit
Hoping that you just might get some ass

The Climb - The View at The Top

' They take pictures of mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They are smiling, ecstatic, triumphant!  They don't take pictures along the way, cos who wants to remember the rest of it. We push ourselves because we have to, not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level.. nobody takes pictures of that. Nobody wants to remember. We just want to remember the view from the top. The breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That's what keeps us climbing, and its worth the pain. That's the crazy part, its worth anything. '

When I think of You and I

I think of roller coasters, Ups and Downs

Joy and laughter, Tears and sorrow

Stormy weather, Sunshine and Cool breeze

Yet the word 'irreplaceable' comes irresistibly to mind

For through the blood and the toil

The mood swings and the heartaches

The uncertainty and instability

We have kept it all together

We held each other by the hand

And climbed on to the top

Knowing that we would not have made it apart

And as I peer down at everything beneath me

Reaching out my hands and touching the clouds

Knowing that you are the only wind I feel

Beneath, above and around me, you're all I feel

Your sexiness overwhelms me

Confuses me and numbs me

And suddenly all the pain I ever felt is forgotten

And the climb is worth it

Being with you is worth anything

                                                         .... Shels

Subject To Your Own Interpretation

I'll kiss you, double dare me

When you pull me close to you

Your eyes dancing in the dark

Your finger tracing circles on my back

You lean forward, daring me to kiss you

I lean back, I tease you

I'm daring you to press on

~ lol.. I was listening to R2Bees and Wande Coal 'Kiss Your Hand'... one of them goes like 'I'll kiss you, double dare me, i'll kiss you..' and i always laugh when i hear it cos he says it like its an argument .. like someone said 'oh, if i dare you to kiss me, you can't.' Haha, home boy has taken it too personal, like World Cup. lmao!
