The Conundrum of Insouciance Adoration

Today I have decided to forgive you
A wise man once said
"With unity, we can do great things"
"Important things"
Does this mean 
Holding the title of President of the United States
Does this mean
Being first in line for a lifesaving vaccine
Does this mean 
Being gainfully employed with guaranteed income during a pandemic
That is unity I can ask for 
But as is I have three strikes with my head held low
Without incitement of violence or venomous speech
I am simply seeking higher enlightenment
For a man who has the promise to work for the betterment of all Americans
Is an application for employment
The extension of a helping hand to be reciprocated
Or a serious waste of communication from the supremely unqualified
A wise woman once said
"Equality can't wait"
Does this include access to a luxurious life
Does this mean everyone's ideas now have equal value
Does everyone's ideas have the right to mass consumption and validation
Whose equality is the fight for
We all do not have the option to decline eviction moratoriums
Where one room in a small house is all afforded to you
Where government assistance to survive month to month is required
Where all you hear from leadership is
What we have now, we will try and get it to you later  
My life is in crisis
I need money
I need help
I need security 
Those are not provided to me though
So this truly better world that is only on the cusp
Is usually past tense for the speaker
And future tense for the supportive audience
I wish I could be granted freedom with such supernatural satiety
I forgive you for you know not what you do

Resuscitation Of...

With proverbial brush in hand
Stranded are an array of colors in palette
Artistic strokes are not my type
As the secret ballot is cast to create a better picture
My vision is blinded by my own literature
If my last words of any memorable context
Were to shun the ills of a perverse society in text
I recant the opportunity of allowing it the reverberate permanently sans interference
So the reappearance of brighter allusion
Enables a newer sense of confusion
Without the help of prediction or military clocks
A fresher perspective reveals
Blended lights mixed effortlessly with the subtle shade
Simple symmetry of imagery creates an epiphany that
The gamble of whether dawn or dusk is approaching
Was yet to be paid
Its just nature at its finest
Encased in utter captivity at its shiest
If what was will forever be
Then the only way forward is
Momentum

Systemic Dissensus

Can you hear the laughter 
Can you see the smiles
The high fives, handshakes, cheers and celebrations
The world’s constant joke is Obioku loses again
Continue to follow and replay the past
I will have nothing to add
Promise
I get it
Why don’t I just cry 
Why don’t I just quit
Why don’t I just... 
Let’s not cause alarm 
It’s entertainment for the audience 
Let’s not bring more attention to a failed system
Demoralized and beaten 
To raise the hand of new champion
The best I could ever ask for is more humiliation
Keep talking about the similarities 
Keep focus on the context
Keep drawing the parallels
This is the new society
New America and new world
Phones tapped
Watched at all times
Reality tv enjoys the suffering
People love the pain
Revel in the degradation 
Well if that’s true
I don’t want it

Rumination of Supremacy

As practice is to make efforts perfect
Inactivity must also have inherent errors
Since suppressive thoughts 
Have to be expressed to more than mirrors
Constantly promoting the positive sense of self
Can have a bit of desperation
But the tiniest semblance of doubt
Will be endlessly magistrated as necessary to hear
Confused moments can be offered silence to bide time
Because it is better than conveyance of weakness
So here is a statement of eliteness
I will surpass most and am meritorious of more
Soon to spread my metaphorical wings and soar
Upon some of the highest heights ever
Clever, yes but 
How many interpret
How many will support
How many will condemn
The message alone cannot bless
Till the word becomes flesh
So scientifically 
There will also be 
The associated hue and sex
Whether in my favor or not
This is not easy to spot
Even loving all, humanely not romantically
In deference to commonality and equality
Does not require preference
As the inverse assuredly does
Cause I like those who love me
Easily an absolute max in terms of attractive qualities
So let this begin 
The creme de la creme 
With significant and eventful times of my approaching enriched life
As I may meet all the needs to support a happy and very fortunate wife

The Neoteric Exalter

Indirect ancestral subjugation
Is eased with recess of temporal liberation
As an answer to the numerous aeolian calls for justice
Resulting in an indirect response to quell those incensed
Juxtaposed in a false dichotomy
Not the aroma the angry
Pick your own poison
As the sacrifice is not supportive
You can help by carrying on a legacy 
Or continuing a mission
Fight to avenge the fallen 
Or never become the next example
Hurting the system hurts the people
Taking pride in the stacking of the dearly departed
Making renditions seem taller 
Finally over the imposed barriers
Created by your own conceited oppressors
The Question: Free since 1863 or still to be determined
Lissome
Is it more offensive to ask whether my life matters now
Or dying to be symbolic of a cause
In my failed attempt to understand society
I suppose black owned has its definitive flaws
The drunken man’s goal to sobriety
Is more liquor
Teasing the only way to correct the system is to recreate it
Do what was done to you for your own
Growth in a horrific cycle
Monuments built on the foundations of false idols
Let me live my best life with less strife
I don’t have the energy 
To accept loss and celebrate the victory

Loss For Words Love

How do I say Im hurt

Without another feeling the same

Empathy is to shared 

As history is to same

At least my history

Reciprocation ere appreciation

Commons theme running through

Adult body holds childlike emotions 

Leaves the nose wide open

Smelling the sweet aroma

In the forest amongst the trees

I finally see 

With seeds actually sown

The roots do not match the bloom

Do not anticipate foliage

Live the life

And breathe the breaths

The dance steps are only a guide

For the music as it plays

More silence must be the cure

I guess the sexiness and attraction

Cannot always be fairly mutual

The lust dissipates to suggest repulse, disgust

Little boy grow up

Take 1 embrace with 1 conversation

Say no more

For The Ponderousness Of Numismatics

In the midst of the global pandemic
Possibly prevented by common hygienics
Creates a tantamount breeding ground of the inverse
Naysaying carriers
Mixed with false-positive worriers
Potency
It stirs officials and experts to produce new demographics
Labeled as infected, non-infected and once infected
Just three terms for the world at large
The vulnerable and the shielded crossed
The ignorant and the informed collided with this
I could lose this site
That's really sad
I could lose my life
That's really sad too
I could lose my wife
That's really sad that I haven't earned one yet
Sidenote ~ So many females and seemingly none for me
Proceed
As the maturing manifesto
Has its crescendo's arch bending up high 'pon skies
A grand shadow is cast on all below
And I have to discover away
To face the next day
Sunrays immersed in the credo that all will be better eventually
It cannot always possess this density
Intensely fearing its presence while feeling the impact
In a message that's loud and clear
Money is the root of all necessity
Once martyred to live/die by thyne word
Are these now past or present
Which holds more credit
Poignant
Superheroes, Romance and the like
The simplest smile can happen for a myriad of complex reasons
If only the scenery could change with a very good pre-season
Waiting to revive yesterday
Never allowed me to witness tomorrow
Albeit this value was yet to be determined

Terminus Beacon

Peerless is a partial pseudonym
For saintly beings with a higher purpose from the beginning
Trapped with the idiom of a middle passage
And a predetermined fate documented for the masses
Is a questionable advantage or understood disadvantage
Depending on the hidden handshake amongst bereft parties
Where fair play has an allowance of tardy
Attendance 
Where the witness and participant have equal value
Equality for having your voice hold its own weight
Equality for the experience of the moment
The price is always right - To debate
As the crossed angel meets the wretched mistake
Like the cognomen is to the given name
There is a precedent that precedes
Detectable homonyms accompanied with closing explanations
Baby steps of etymology
Transform into full formed babel
Inconceivable begins an unavoidable end
Afresh over and over

Sedulous Brevity

Serenity without the aspect of peace and positivity
Aligns with my demeanor of this moment
Hopeful that a upward trend can be instantiated
While addlepated because Im missing what I really wanted
Haunted by a past overstuffed with sadness and painful memories
Devoid of the possibility to reconnect with source of sympathy
Another new beginning still has a rocky start
Full stomach laced at close quarters is an empty heart
Foolish words from a smart mouth
Finds the cross section of anonymity
Returns of divinity as a sense of serenity
Godliness found in just being lonely
The phony homey
Produces the momentous stretch of real fears
All that is near is not as it seems
I confess my world lacks perfection
The palimpsest of my life 
Assumes its own resolution
Before I discovered the plot
My desire to make it better
Does not meet the inspiration of oft encountered depression
Lessons learned again and again
Continues to transgress into the negative spin

Getting The Better Of... Balance

With words of appreciation and remorse
I humbled myself before thee
Some may say accordingly
And there is no glory of playing second string
But it was part of the thing
The fear of a pinnacle being lost 
Erases a pivotal cost
The injured, miserable and detached 
Has another life
Tap, Tap, Knock
The egg is beginning to hatch
A man of honor is a man of honor
Independent of uniform or skin color
If we were only to look forward from today
I support your cause
Can you say the same
I accept your word
Can you say the same
Let us not just contribute 
Let us begin to actually take the reigns 
And lead towards the next goal
Yes, the honest moment must admit
The brightest sun allows closed minds to see red
Open up to embrace a scarred and beautiful America
Absent are the accusations of espionage
In addition to the calls of conspiracy
Leaves heresy held in contempt
By the steady hand of leadership
But what does it mean to continually challenge the throne
Democracy
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Autocracy
Attention please
Me, I will just put pen to pad for everyone to see
Candid support as I campaign for a little more
Helping me in my greatest achievement
Can earn eternal gratitude
With added sentiment
Because all is fair in love and war
The mirror pays the most expensive price of familiarity
I know this person
We have the same goals and ambitions
Opposition is an epic clash
Cooperation is a plentiful friendship
So whats this
I will let you decide
I had my time
I played my hand
To watch the world turn
Watch the earth burn
Its cliche to notice that ruins must be ruined
For the new buildings to be built
Stunning sculptures and skyscrapers at their highest possible peak

An Original Thought

I never knew who you were
You never knew what I meant
And still we see 
Look at the past without relent
Time spent is a causality
Of camaraderie
Prayers to the invisible man
Bring questions to a stable mentality
A formality at this point
With reasonable cause
As all laws, flaws and cost 
Pay tribute to inferiority
Sobriety or Seniority
Embraces the stage
With the brightest lights
As the best spot to …
I don’t know what im saying
Again theres no relaying
I can’t past the baton 
To begin the final leg
Well not can’t but won’t
Why
I don’t know what im doing
Pursuant and telegraphic are words 
Once heard from peers 
When life meant we were happy
Now the meaning is …
I don’t know where I’m at
I thought the book was closed
Eight Seven
I called the chapter done
One Three
Yet and still I revived another one
For more than me and more than I can see
But who will care as the end is near
There is always more life to discuss

Forgotten Symbolism of Competition

The attempt to revolutionize a career with new communication
Was met with interpretive noise and ruination
Sadly it was predictable
Even by a lesser individual
So what should that mean for me
Smitten with a conniption 
Of lost or not earned wages
Allows for the attrition of whats written
To decompose in stages
How do you keep going when the immediate return is
Nothing
Something positive has to restore the feeling of accomplishment
As both feet are firmly affixed to the ground
The blissful heights are nowhere to be found
Prayers for a winning lotto ticket 
Mixed with copious applications to employers
Let me know a fiance and lawyer would have been a better route
Candle lit dinners are replaced with sipping dark stout
How do you ascend to your dreams that are too big to attain
Worse pain 
Loss of mind or broken heart
Repeat the same task expecting a different result or start anew
Collapse to your knees and pray or seek the comfort of a neighbor too
Sometimes the favor is to do no favors
Labor the turmoil of hard work
With a tear in the eye and lecturous smirk
Its all in the inevitable works
As the cogs turn and plates shift
Can we move forward without mischief
Can we generate a better atmosphere to live
Can Obioku be the bigger and better man
Can he knows what it is like to have the winners seat
Cut
Lather rinse repeat
The appearance of what we already knew
Stares you in the face once again
I am what I am
But what is that to you

Low-End Sanctity

Lonely, lonely, lonely
And lost to the world
Phony. phony, phony
With less care to give
The new paradigm has shifted to a more surreal cause
As the mistake to not participate ripples all flaws
I am no longer the judge of circumstance
But the misgiver of wrongful entrance
Once foretold a man cannot live on his word alone
However each statement builds a new home
Turmoil is the result of plans not finished
As disappointment reigns for those awaiting the end of the line
One must adhere to the crowd to the sublime income
For in my own light I have not seen the shine
The earth's view is not mine alone
Broken and shattered in a tireless fight
Wishing for another moment to make it right
But the interval is always fleeting and does not generate response
Miracles introspectively reveal the inevitable failure to launch
These words are nothing
These thoughts are even less
A cruel fate is the only thing left to test
Will a hero arise to spark a sense of renewal
Or will the dark spiral continue to engulf 
The predictable conclusion is one of illusion
If you can believe in things that are not true
So what am I to do from here forth
Live a life of God's approval
Only I have no idea how long it can last
Showing plans for a laugh
Causes tears for a presenter
Heaven and hell has paths to enter

Inquisitive Vanity

Reaching for new life
Through a means which is not that familiar
Surreal
Handshakes only begin the new deal
Smiles with head nodes are confirmation
Wishing for each first impression to be impressive
Might be incoherent rhetoric
The celibacy of further interaction
Leads to questionable assumptive conclusions
Illusions of the suspicious mind
Consume more than enough time
To rhyme
On that part
And sigh
Away from the keyboard
Lord
If I were to ask for a revelatory sign
Will you answer or ignore
And how am I to be sure
Renew anew to knew
Just observe

Previsional Efficacy of the Infinite Mind

Sitting in meditation
Eyes closed
Prayer hands in formation
Seeking forgiveness and the benefit of the doubt
Rarely granted to creatures like myself
Resisting tension stout
Whats this all about
Your guess is as good as mine
Line by line is borrowed time
Intersected as the common thread
Which binds us all to be better beings
With faith placed in beings not seen
The essence seems evanescent
Though we consisently participate in the silent act
An abstract derivative connects to virtues of the youth
Committed into adulthood as proof
There is something greater than all of us
Stand tall and rejoice
Tears stream from my eyes
Head tilted towards the sky
Praise the heavens with your voice
Thank God
Thank God
Thank God

Lovingly Feral Link

Flaunting the lost art of
Enabling myself to achieve a better
Nature with the walls of my
Tepid lustful imagination to receive
Your nomadic affection as my
Only route to your heart
Because music was not my way initially
Or could a new influence inspire the believable
Traversal towards a beauty viewed reciprocally
Evenly
True mutual feelings from a world where
That is not true amongst all the other mutually exclusive qualities we possess
Equals equal expression

Felicity Of The Multifaceted

Worlds apart
On paper as it seem
Left to only love the
Flawless roseate view
Immediate like first sight is always
Enough to brace for the
Onium effect
Better late than never
Or early and often
Twisted syntactics
Enables the discovery of
Tupled relevance when
Together can not be defined with
Elision

What To Call It

At a loss for words
Minus meaning to endure
For sure
Could be isolated as an empty filler
Synonymous with perplexing pillars
Towering above what I hoped to see
The moment appears lost on me
Spiraling out of the box
Talks in a very loud way silently
Connivingly decidedly forced to find a better way
Into what I don't know what I'm looking for
Less is more
More problems
With added time to solve'em
Compiled to build to execute to view
Was the main method I knew
Prized strategy
Embedded in the anatomy
Of a missing career
With the end near
A menacing hope awaken
First of a series
Will it get better
Cloned empire trips last alarm
Battle continues till one side wins
The umpteenth time must be the charm

Watch This Space

Spoke prematurely
About what could possibly be the
Ultimate attempt at
Verifying the probability of how
Effective this can be
On the occasion that
Building a better connection
Offsets
The likelihood of attesting that the
Exact response
Traditionally trades the appearance of
Tacitly vibeing for
Expressed emotion

Prescience To The Contrary

Gifted
As respect for my elders
To adhere to the policy of meeting and
Exceeding expectations into
Spirited effort to renew
Optimism of the
Believers challenge placed
On the world's stage as
Temporarily displaced
Event that can only lead
To another defining moment of what can be when
Time is only
Epitomized as essential
