aGELeSS tIMe


it's almost over, it's easing up, the face of the journey isn't frowning any longer,
my shoe heels affirm prints aren't hard on the soil much fiercely;
am feeling lighter.
ten kilograms. my feet are signalling they are up another mile.

i hear victory bells in a distance. am sure they are ringing for me.
my heart says so. my body awaits human glory, my soul hopes a new story.

time, slowly, but surely intends well for all it accommodates.

a walk with time will reveal everything occurs within it; a clock it's symbol,
within, there is space, distance, enough to premise all thought, plan, action.
enough to see a dream transform into reality. enough time to allow Princess
Fiona be an Ogre and back.

why do you say it's almost over? when there is indeed no end.
if this end is but another start, then in a broader sense, it is one stretch of
time broken down into periods advanced all within time.

in this ageless time i lost faith in her cos she lost faith in herself,
her faith was all we had, we are faithless now. that's why we went down,
see we've lost our crown. the roof is blown off, my guilt has met light.
your shame has broke loose. we were certain we will be caught.

in this ageless time no one is too old to school, so if there is anything
worth speech's while, i guess it's best served finger burning.
been cool is a tool also used by fools.

nice beginnings adorned with unhappy endings.
tales of omila and distrust gather in the air like thick clouds of smoke.
ex-jokes currently provoke, genital parts of loved ones served roast
by hosts dressed in purple robes for toast.
no Love but dashed hopes.

in this ageless time, drones fly higher than kites made of cardboard paper
and threads; spies for Western clients; desire of the mind to increase knowledge.

Amebo designed in laboratories intended as sight to where legs cannot carry,
and color of passport cannot enter. aided by richly blessed science,
our lives are monitored over our raffia roofs. look at the sky for proof.

in this ageless time, the elderly have become void of solution,
clueless as their sheep.
tutorship is now regardless of time spent.
knowledge currently reside in the air, regardless of hot or cold.
Public school graduate also went on to win award.
it is now a skin-less affair. brother has become cousin,
cousin relegated to friend. just ambition, too in a hurry to utter sorry.

sh*t is real here, first to wake will wear the belt; first to touch is the rule.
sighs a day, minimum, seven. last words of the day, 'e go beta!'
even small ear can hear great news in this ageless time.

time a concept of existence; a revolving earth ensures it's importance.
a front-line mate of plan, if nicely aligned,
can allow a thought life. too deep to decipher,
guise by a clock, the manner wealth is guise by money.

money, medium of exchange of goods or for discharge of obligation.
erroneous fount of man's joy.

it is just one long journey, regardless of athlete. it is also called life; starts
from inside the tummy, continues till when water burst, and cord cut. then it is till
breath ceases.
foul after foul, leaf after leaf, person after person, generation after another,
all within one stretch of time.

i lost faith in myself, then the world lost faith in me,
my hope of faith laid in her. she lost faith in herself
worried the world had lost faith in me.
our faith has fallen, dollar has further risen.
we are no more. so we look to the world
but realize a faithless world. then we look to God.
