IQRAA ( READ!)

Was told by a rail worker, There was light at the end of the tunnel Packed my things and moved to Mecca, My pilgrimage - a terrestrial channel I ignored every woodpecker, Trying to dim the solar on my panel Blessings came with a double decker Entering non-stop through my funnel                      ❷ Rep your school, I dey rep my school of thoughts Man for talk ein mind at all cost – Cos nowhere cool Businessman behind bars, My case is brief Calculate my currency in cards – Ace of spades not a heart full of grief                       ❸ Uncertain of what the future holds, But I am certain it's not a degree Made of sand and gold – My creation is a fine filigree My moves don't come with subtitles, How can you read them? In the ring adorned with many titles Success is my ™️!                    ❹ Up above building castles, No need to lie about my foundation Don't remember boarding shuttles – I am a star at the location Constantly fighting battles, Seems I am on probation Seeki

STANZA 1 She no longer asks the mirror, Who the prettiest girl is She no longer bothers the crystal ball, Who it thinks, the most fairest is She confidently accepts who she is- by staring at it She flaunts her reflected beauty, by just taking a selfie And with just a click, The world hears of this Eve STANZA 2 In her tweet, she proclaims that she is a beauri and a ten She is well built and proud of the woman, She is becoming This is the story of the 21st century girl STANZA 3 But has she conquered her fears? Is she aware of the ill thoughts of her peers? Is her heart tough as a haven? To shelter her from evil ravens STANZA 4 Is she prepared to face? those horrid comments on her space For the outside world, Doesn’t give a damn When it comes to breaking, Wrenching and eating hearts.

I Let me dress You with my address Rehearse You inside my hearse Put me to test With your breast And see who cares, About your stress II Accept my request To be part of the quest Exchange my forest With your forex Journeying to your west, I search for eternal rest On your hot desert And cold Everest III Allow me to invest In your bulletproof vest A profitable business, You would never regret You know I detest To see you depressed That is why my lips thirst, For the sweets on your chests IV Feed me huge litres, of your sweet bitters Cos future leaders Depend on those figures... ■BeYunus 🐳  2023●

   MEN-ACE We shoot our shot, cos we can't tell when our battery might go down We shoot our shot, cos the actions of our muses happen in split seconds And we the shot shooters and callers must seize the moment Therefore, don't see marksmen as a sign of bad omen Or a menace in your face We have been sent by the great to procreate An amazing grace, at your holy place.

....The sense in our leaders have evaporated Whatever they do doesn't seem ideal They tell us year of roads, But we keep on catching cold We are paying levies upon levies, Only to see our siblings getting buried Instead of building bridges and getting ferries, They hold needless dialogues on terrorists Leaders are sending us to biblical ages, With workers lamenting for their wages Repatriates are looting our mineral resources, As well as polluting our water bodies We are doomed as a nation, And I pity the unborn generations For when they settle in our abodes- We might have insufficient oil, bought with gold.... @BeYunus 

  @MichaelKennethWilliams😪 All those whom I promised, To pay them back in kind All those who tried helping me, To make it better in life Can be found nowhere but, Deep down in the ground And that shit really hurts!                .... Though that wasn't the plan, But life is life, man And in the process of changing the game, I took to the streets to make some pay But no job will hire, An unexperienced guy             .... It's whom you know, Not what you know Sadly, I went to syto, And the friends I made were from the ghetto Some came from the zongos- And none from rich homes                .... Therefore, I looked myself in the mirror and decided to move on I wouldn't let fate break me, So, I took to daylight robbery                .... Now this is where it has landed me, Mentally cuffed, physically in prison All my efforts have been in vain, I'm to die without making a name                 .... I have no regrets For my petty thefts But I am only ashamed, I couldn'

  @FJ studios   I'm a visual artist, Able to picture your moves A player with hat tricks, Eager to have you as my golden boots My examination malpractice, Is stealing glances at you And no one can catch me, Not even a whiff of my perfume I am not a praying mantis, but I yearn to have you as my food I am a politician with rough tactics, Aiming to orchestrate a coup I am like John the Baptist, Capable of washing you in my pool Although I am not a Catholic, I will always worship your ceramic statue BeYunus 🐳 JANUARY 2023.

I have been sent to many praying centres, Beaten and bruised because I can’t string a sentence And unable to excel- Amongst my friends Daddy can’t understand, Why I keep sinking academically like sand And mummy is still confused, Why I keep saying refuse instead of refuse Why I keep writing son as sun, And mistaking father as farther Therefore, they went in search of a red goat, And a black rabbit They killed animals for my sake, And added anointing oil to my plate All in the quest of making me, An unemployed graduate No one bothered at how I paddled my boat, Or whether I felt at home I am nothing but the black sheep, In a Black family There is no love here! STANZA 2 I have been criticised, beaten and chastised, Yet still, I confuse crisis with Christ There is a quiet loudness, Deafening me inside I have no one to turn to! And oh! When I think there is refuge, In my friends at school My world takes a sharp turn, Just because I can’t read or spell
