The argument

.

It’s brewing

Feel it surround

Enveloping two

Go to town

Get it out

In the air

Scream out loud

Lay it bare

Love, hate

Rage with might

Piercing words

Fateful fright

Throw everything

Across the room

Self implode

Hearts go boom

My cheat

.

You don’t mean it, to hurt me

But you do it so well

I know you’ve been with her

You have her smell

Go on, wash off your guilt

And then under the quilt

My dirty prolific liar

You deserve to be on fire

You burn me, deceptive rat

I have to accept and live with that

I’m not sexy enough, we never do it

To make love or even play a bit

You prefer your toy I’m sure she’s young

Beautiful, not like me, we never have fun

What happened to us? Did we just grow old?

When did you decide with your cards to fold?

Maybe I’m to blame? Didn’t do what you liked

Maybe that’s why our sex life stopped it’s spike

But you come back to me every night

You creep around, ever so light

It is just easier to continue, just carry on

Why change what we have? Nothing wrong

I couldn’t be without you, even if you mess around a bit

I know, I’m not stupid, you can be a dick

Sleep my love, snore away next to me

You’re in my bed, my cheat, I agree

Jealousy

.

Jealousy

It’ll kill you you know

Green, invasive,

Who likes green?

You love them, no?

Give them their space

Space to roam free

To look for better?

To look for someone else?

Oh it’s eating you inside

Eating you alive

More powerful than your anger

Your anger

Your anger

Jealousy can be like a disease

It’s unhealthy to be displeased

To make someone you love

Trapped like a pet dove

They are a human being

It is you that is not seeing

What you are doing

And you’ll only push them away

Your love, remember the first day

The day you two met

Held hands, wept

Cuddled close

And what do you know?

It’s not like it was

Because you do not trust

Your untrust becomes lust

You are a couple, give them space

Just a little bit of grace

To your one and only love

Because you don’t want them to have enough

And flee from you and your jealous ways

You might just find yourself amazed

Stubborn

.

Am I stubborn?

Stubborn am I

I dig my heels in

Like a rake to the eyes

I know my mind

I know what I want

I speak my truth

And it isn’t a front

My principles are there

I will not budge

Think what you like

I don’t give a fudge

My opinion matters

I won’t accept anything else

I am somewhat selfish

And I think of myself

Is it a pitfall?

My characteristic laid bare

It is the way I am

My stubbornness, beware

Dare to defy

.

Why do we always want more?

Why does it eat us up?

What difference does it make?

If we want to change our luck

.

Do we suffer from greed?

Is it a bad thing?

Is it installed in us?

This constant need to win

.

We cannot stay still

Static in daily grind

Parallel continually

Like a boring line

.

DARE TO DEFY

Scream and shout

Turn it on its head

Show life what you’re about

.

You can be better

Selfish, hell yeah

Grab the bull by the nuts

Make that bugger scared

.

Positive, a winner

You are number one

You have all the power

This battle is won!

Nigeria’s addiction

.

The sweet stuff

Addicting

Just a taste

Euphoria within

.

School kids

One try and they’re hooked

These children

Should be reading books

.

If you’re in rehab

They chain you to the floor

This is meant to stop you

From wanting to take more

.

In the nightclubs

In the streets

Dealers sell it

A strawberry treat

.

Cartons flood in

Into the wrong hands

Bad people feeding greed

Selling to the gangs

.

Highly addictive

Taken in excess

Euphoric high

Mind in a mess

.

Kidney damage, seizures

Psychosis, delusions too

Hallucinations, schizophrenia

It does this to you

.

Whether you’re rich or poor

Educated or not

Avoid it, don’t start

Use all the will power you’ve got.

Illiterate

.

I am a dunce

If you want to call it that

I cannot read or write

Why I have the dunce’s hat

.

I’m different, maybe

If you like

I’ll have to get through it

I’ll have to fight

.

Exams, well I failed

Highest I got was a C

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough

No qualifications for me

.

The day my son noticed

Mum read better than me

The day I revealed

This flaw I had in me

.

You see, I was not stupid, nor lazy

No, it wasn’t the case

But the kids would laugh

It was out of place

.

Dyslexia, disabilities,

Names that we hear

Spelling, grammar, hell

These are words that I fear

.

I may be different

It doesn’t mean I cannot succeed

I am proud to be me

Mark my words, take heed

My lost doggie

.

Oh where oh where

Could my little dog be?

Oh where could you be?

.

He’s little and white

And very light

Oh where oh where is he?

.

I’ve looked for miles

For whiles and whiles

He is nowhere to be found

.

He’s got a little bow

That sways to and fro

Oh where oh where could you be?

.

Into the park

And I hear a dog bark

Oh is it? Could it be?

.

I look all around

My dog I have found

With a branch under a tree.

Run for cover

.

What is that noise?

Choppers on approach

Panic stricken

Take cover like a roach

.

Overhead now,

hovering still

That dirty beast

Contemplating the kill

.

There it goes

That dark heavy mass

See it plummet to the ground

What a blast!

.

It leaves its chaos

As it flies away

Screams, yelling

Where the kids normally play

.

Deafening numbness

Everything so loud

Smell of chlorine

Poisonous cloud

.

People stumbling

Gasping for air

Vomiting violently

People scared

.

I cannot breath

Coughing uncontrollably

Grating at my eyes

Collapsing fatally….

I’m coming to get you

Dont be scared

Intrusion my lust

Please don’t stare

Look at you

Don’t worry dear

Satisfy my thirst

Yes please, cheers

You’re mine now

Don’t wait anymore

Desire overwhelming

Not for too long

Overwhelming trance

You will soon be free

When I decide
