Dis lines no calm at all...!!!





Dis lines no calm at all
Cos my mind dey voke, 
Invoking wailings of unheard cries buried.
and my blurry eyes dey scary to even look at.
My dairies and memories of swallowed grudges,
grudges of pains and stains of blood on sheets.
No mistake am for virginity but in-sanitized mutilation, 
frustration and humiliation wey dem take hammer,
dem wey 'we' call 'men.'
Cos true talk na women nuture 'we' 'men'
So dem no be prey,
abeg shun violence.

You wey say sound of her cry,
Dey make you high,
When your conji high,
Na her thigh you rely on.
Lie for same bed lie give her say na,
Culture palle pickin secret,
you no need fly to call you winch (witch).
Palle like you na your daughter,
you dey burst so,
She no be prey,
abeg shun violence.

How much be sorry for market,
Or the cost of care for Ariaria?
How much be smiles for your face?
Or the cost of affection for your heart?
How much eee even cost for your to pay attention to this?
We call men to true talk,
women no be prey
My people, 
abeg shun violence

"I Know" by Shegzrhymz #WarOfWords2




Nice flow, 
and nice use of words.
I am sure the guy must be a player, 
cos him just dey play with words 
like a newly wed husband dey play with....em...em.
Well, you know na :). 


"I Know" by Shegzrhymz 

I Know who I Am, I am who my creator says I am. I am a man of Destiny! /
But I know the gap between the lines of getting and not getting There's Tiny/
Sure, I am sticking with d former, 

I won't step down - No Transformer. 
so when I get there, let it produce no Shocks/ 

That is just my city of Destiny, not Electri-City. 

My purpose has nothing to do with Kainji Dam/
Apart from my HIV Status, 

I Am always Positive. 
That's a Plus, right? /
No division can tear down me down cos I Am not even bothered about difficult Times. 

Mathematicians will appreciate what I just said better/
Please, don't take this as just an ordinary rhyme Letter, this is what I know. 


I know I'm d Change I seek. 

I know I Am very ready to make a difference -
Inject new ideas, new inventions, new innovation in..don't let the word 'inject' in that sentence filled with 'In' bother you 'cos I learnt it from My Nurse/
Or you think I'm in d medical line? 

Now that's a Minus, 
all I just did now was to give Reference/

I know getting to my destiny might take a while/
I know a step is what starts the Journey of a thousand Mile...so, I know I Can.
I know I can. I don't need to be an Accountant to know ICAN/
I can do Everything if I put God and hard work 2 It

Pray like I don't work and work like I don't Pray/
Even when Animals do that, Humans become the Prey!/ 


I always pick d last 4 words from a Mexican; 

I Can! - 
I add an apostrophe after "I" in Impossible - Yes, "I'm Possible"/
I know I can make a change with my little words, 

I might not have as much wards as a teaching hospital.
But still I Speak, with Passion, 
drop the words like drops of water on a plant that grow to become a Forest/
Drops of water that drops on drops of water that give a mighty big Ocean,

so just take dis like I'm planting, soon you will see the Harvest!/

My spoken word is not just for the ears, 

gets through your eardrums and hits the soul/
Just like the shoes of a desperate unemployed graduate that the earth eats the Sole, 

the words Consume - Laziness, fears - gives you the assist to reach your Goal/

And don't think I'm boasting/
Even if I were 2 be anywhere in America, it definitely won't be Boston/
I'm not there yet but my aim is to be the greatest and I'm filled with Zeal/
I know I will be great! I know I will!/ 


I just have 2 believe what I see, then I will Achieve/
when negative words come then I need 2 weave/
Don't just take this as my confession, it can apply 2 u too
cos this is not just 2 keep you busy like a bee 

but 2 make u be who u are supposed 2 Be - 2 Be the change you seek/

How? Not by looking through a glass,

picking on people like you've got the Beak/
But look into d mirror, who you see is the pass - just reflection? 

Yeah, that's the trick!/
So don't think I'm selfish, or Steve Jobs or an Optician by profession cos I kept mentioning "I"/
But let this spoken word Inspire and lift you to a point so high - where u also will get a book, pen, and start writing the words "I know!"
