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

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

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

Heard The Herd

What to say
What to say
What to say
When thinking to myself
Sometimes that is how I pray
Not certain about with others
How this will play
Appreciative for everyone who has visited so far
Hoping this attempt can render turning a profit
Logistics aside
Only I cannot be the one to determine if this is inapposite
Struggling for mass appeal
Will satisfy a privileged few
So for all those in attendance
Please regard the honor as due
Forfeit the mendacious scheme
For the aesthetics of an prideful sheen
As what was once furtive
Can be converted to something curative
When choosing purity combined with surety
Delivers the guarantee of merciful charity
Where the rarity of kindness
Becomes the scarcity of shyness
Invoke the touch of Midas
To revoke the rust of my crutch
Utter faith in humanity
Using held hands for amnesty
As an international resource
With only this humble discourse

Just Me

My tears fall in a hidden place
My fears are stranded by deaf ears
I sit alone
All alone
Desperate for affection
Contemplate correction
What do I really want
I want to know what you really want
Why put up a front
One day was lost to consider the runt
Blunt expressions
Replaced with penned aggression
The duality is always present
To represent all possible intent
Friendship shares in the light
Enemies plot with spite
Both pay equal attention to the cause
Rewritten as practiced law
The rationale is apparent
To the eyes that do not stop staring
Applaud and rejoice
Or silence the contrasting voice
I still do this for you
I just hope you know who you are
When we both agree
The moon becomes a star
O.B.O
Define that for me
I just need your help
To determine identity
Simple remedy
Companionship mixed with femininity
Could be a smiling face
Could be a wife
I’d rather let her decide her life
Choice was fought for a long time ago
Far from me to shed the water against Roe
Challenge history or relive the past
Is something that has already passed
You are always right is in hindsight
Good morning follows good night
Write
Maybe that’s wrong
But it sounds good to the chord of the song
Off to another note
I think I am starting to ramble
Constitute myself after the preamble

Oscillate

Let me jot a quick note to express how I feel
Allow me a moment for my thoughts to congeal
I begin to pinch myself to know this is real
But am always reminded that is only something time can reveal
What do I want to say
How shall I attempt to convey 
Is this where I should play
Who knows the best way
These are questions I don't have the answer to
It shows I am sort of lost on what to do
Should I speak about me 
Or talk about love
Should I pull it altogether 
Or break apart with a shove
My mind is pure, Her body is art
Let neither quality defy the heart 
Erratic is my scripture
Have you developed a picture
Now devein the depiction 
Written is the addiction 
This seems to be completely indecisive 
But the dilemma is just my crisis
Sufficient conditions
Vacillate illicit prescriptions
It's all out of wack, doesn't make much sense
Which one of us is now convinced

The Purpose

Consider this a project of reclamation
To speak without words of degradation
Remove that which is evil and crass
And help to redefine the new task
Challenge the souls of those who adore
Get entangled in the creation of a new floor
It's more than the journey of cite unseen
It's being involved in the beginning of a new thing
Raise the bar and set a trend
As you traverse two points to mend
Appeal to those you don't know
To see the change you can't show
If you find the pace to be slow
Refrain to compare
Abstain from the fear
Try a way to adjust
From a source to trust
As you start to have fun
You are nearly done
For the purpose was not to be the star
It was only to help you with who you are
