Old Russian Tale
So sad we say this sad old song
So sad we know how it begins
So sad we know how it ends
Why do we find joy in desolation
Fun in destruction
& Gladness in others pain?
Why do we ignore the way of love
Her promises & rewards
But beckon on the path of pain
Why is Russia in a rush to repeat a cycle of doom,
Is a man an island by threats of violence?
Who really has the monopoly of war?
Or the supreme power to violence?

Read MoreI searched my heart today,
Pulling out the latent obvious
I Flung caution to the trash
& stared into the peep my eyes
There it was, a beautiful middle finger
Beautifully, saying hi to your thoughts & perceptions of me
Your gimmicks & pranks
Your rides & wild lead that I may chase,
Laughing out loud
I stand proud of who I am
Who I have become
& who I will emerge to be

Read MoreWe voiced with our lit touches
& matched with defying moves
A step with a modern drive
As we shook their pants off their waists
Held the country to her core
& brought fear to the heart of Aso rock
We shook the world & screamed still,
Till She learnt the meaning of endsars
We remain great as true to our blood & build
Be it today or tomorrow
Our song will fly & our hopes remain
Whilst, this fire they fight frantically to quench
Will keep burning while their bones meets aches
As we remain built to stand, match & survive

Read MoreThey exert undue toll of scarce time
& a million wade of loaned funds
To the denial of the impending doom
One held by a hair's breath
Still they think, spitting lies
& gagging the tongue of true justice
Is the way of democracy & politics,
How confused can they be?
Conflicting communism to liberalism
Democracy & feudalism
All a mix of madness,
Just a country hijacked by rogues & crooks
Senenseless Thieves, mobs & liars
Just a web of mulling worms
As they leach on the tomorrow
Yet Devow the present with useless loans

Read MoreThe sit of power has picked a job greater than the job
Making more winnings in failures
And singing their praise
Only to ask us to do a research on their giant strides
What happened to our eyes,
Did our tongues all grow cold at once?
The deaf, hears loud the silliness of the joke nigeria becomes
As the street insane man beats his chest
To the bitterness an old crowd of sane men has picked
As his kingdom beside the city market
Has come to suffer inflation,
& left at the mercy of the hunger that killed the dump flies;
How disheartening!

Read MoreOne year after,
My country remains a spittle of laughter
Our cries then,
Has now become wails
Our demand then
Has deranged to a bigger villian
As the little light of hope we thought we could reinkindle,
has grown dim
& found place with the colour of darkness
Diminished with the lies
Amassed with systemic threats & pressing fouls
Instead of greeting the needful
& paying the debt to reality...

We remember the innocent cries
The blood & souls lost to this cause
We remember the time we stood up
Trashed our fears & armed our guts
Found a new anthem & redefined our label
For are the youths & tomorrow is ours
But we're not lazy nor timid
We are just careful slaves,
to a useless senseless masters...

Read MoreFor Nigerian youth all over the world, October 20th, 2021 has become a day like no other in the history of our beloved country Nigeria.
This poem is a tribute to those heroes who paid the sacrifice...
We will always remember.
#dosbambiwrites #dosbambiinspires #nigerianpoet #nigerianyouths #nigerianwriters #history #policebrutality #badgovernance365 days after, the problems have remained,
like we never took to the street to voice out
our displeasure of their misbehaviour and their
wickedness against us the future of tomorrow.
A year after, they are still denying an open secret
known by everyone all over the world,
they are the only one who can't see and hear what,
the blind and deaf saw and heard.
It's a painful reality that these people don't have
a working heart and a conscience that's alive.
No matter what they do, never will we forget
20th of October, 2020: Lekki Toll-gate Massacre:
Nigeria government killed young peaceful protesters.
Even though they have not stopped the brutality, we are sure
the sacrifice of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

Parents need to realise this. Your kids aren't too young to be going through issues. You need to stop ruling out their emotional and mental needs.
Sometimes your words, actions or even body language can scar your kids for life.‼️
They aren't too young to be going through depression, anxiety and so many other things, don't make it seem NORMAL to them! it is not! TEENAGE DEPRESSION IS REAL?
What are your thoughts?15 3 3

*******
Honestly,
I no longer have space in my heart
To bottle up the pain
From broken promises.
Honestly
I no longer have space in my heart
To bear the cross
Of all the dreams people broke when they left.
Honestly,
I no longer have space in my heart
To hide the pages of my life
When people were simply cruel.
Honestly
I no longer have space in my heart
To give refuge to,
Temporary people.

She has sealed her thoughts
She has shut her voice
She has caged her opinions in
And in so doing she has caged herself in
Denying us of such a great personality

FAILURE
What do you define failure as?
Losing a contract deal?
Letting your partner down?
Getting a "F" in your exam?
Is it not meeting the expectations you have set for yourself?
Or those people have set for you?
Who is a failure?
The girl who couldn't meet the expectations of her parents?
The boy who couldn't meet his goals?
The man who let his people down?
The woman who let her family down?
I need to know what makes one a failure
Because then I would be able to decide if I am a failure
Am I a failure?
Have I failed?

Love abyss
I don't know when exactly
I fell in love with you
I am so clueless how it happened
I just found myself searching for you in the crowd
I started yearning to hear your voice
Craving to see you smile
Maybe it was when we first met
Damn you look amazing in "agbada"
Or could it be when I heard you sing?
Your voice is breathtaking
No! It has to be the day you tended to my wounds
I don't know
I just found myself in this love abyss
I hope you feel the same way

I think I have lost myself
I left myself at the train station without waving goodbye
I wrapped myself in swaddling clothes and let myself drift down the river in a basket
I sneaked out of bed, packed some clothes and left myself sleeping soundly in bed
I dropped myself off at kindergarten and never picked myself back up
I took myself to the market and sold myself for a bag of silver and gold
I abandoned myself at an orphanage and never looked back
I traveled on an airplane and pushed myself out without a parachute
I went for a boat ride and pushed myself into the water without a life jacket
I've left myself so many more times than I can actually remember
Now I can not seem to find myself anymore.

Again
Yet again you did it
Snatching from people their most precious ones
Reaping where you haven't sowed
Oh yet again you have done it
And you sit with a glass of wine in hand rejoicing as my tears flowed
I promised I wouldn't give you that joy but a puppet I am at your mercy
Oh death you have taken yet again from the ones I love and from me as well
The scores will forever be in your favour I know but how I wish I could make you pay
