 Thunder in the distance clashes The dark sky light up as lighting flashes  Trees bow down to the wind Rain falling  Heart hurting  Drowning in my own tears Just the thought of lossing you break my heart into pieces Tears drop burnt hole in the horizon  Now the desire to shine is lost ©Akonu Emmanuel

 Graceful lilac ;blinding light Harsh white ;dark shadows  Ocean blue;cautions voice  Corruption has its hold Like a sickness attache to the very core of a nation  Like a dark cloud that threatens  The sky's calmness It sucks a nation  Into a whirlpool and hardships Prevent nation’s progress Entangled with the strings of hunger Swing with the flow of corruption  Emotionally traumatized  Intellectually denied Our flaws lies beneath the mask Covered and buried Hesitant, Reluctant to show hospitality  Displaying its splendors with mother nature's kiss of serenity and peace.. It will take more than counter-cultural popularity to effect any tangible change in our society. ©Akonu Emmanuel

 The Old Path I love the old path When girls could cook Men could work Children run errants  for their parents  Where crime did not pay Integrity was the culture of the people  Cursing  was not encourage  Truth was speaketh at all time Honesty was a virtue  ©Akonu Emmanuel

 Candles flickering  The candles are left with stories untold Shadows have been cast upon muted light Shadows of secrets, love, happiness, sadness until the soft flame burns down  The wick now bent over and gone like a dendelion ©Akonu Emmanuel
