Lost virtues by Al-Amin Bugaje


Where is the justice?

When nepotism is surviving

When favoritism is abounding

When autonomy is the principle guiding

When wrongs keep surmounting

When rights are being subverted


Where is the peace?

When hatred dwells in our bosom

When discrimination is termed as awesome

When with everyday comes a new sorrow

When a fight breaks out from a hocus

When harmony seize to exist in our focus


Where is the security?

When where ever you are, you aren't  safe

When your home becomes just another cage

When bombs are a substitute for natural plague

When life is treated like a minimum wage

When peace and justice only exist in a page

When you can't trust even a goddamn sage.

I believe : accepting the immutable and redressing the changeable! By AL-AMIN BUGAJE


It takes a lot of courage to believe

To profess a conviction held deep within

I close my eyes and the breath I feel,

Convinces me that I believe.


That Adam was black 

And racism is still at large.

The inevitable report of an explosive car,

And that people are afraid to go out in the dark.


I believe in the gift of life

In the unending struggle of happy and strife

It takes no much effort to be alive

It takes a deep conviction to live a life


I believe in the power of truth

To never lie even when it doesn't favor you

To give credit where it is due

To accept blame from the lapses ensued


I believe in respecting the old

And catering for the young when it is cold

That a society never succeeds

Where injustice gracefully breeds


I believe in making the plausible best of time

And the prohibition to abstain from wine

In order to get, you have to give

And sometimes it is best if you just forgive


I believe in the reality of the early morning grind

The suffering of my people that I can't feign to be blind

I believe the government is abusing power

And our hearts are so deadened that we can't protest for the lack of power


Sometimes all we can muster is a cry

A silent prayer to follow our sigh

A fake smile is all we can muster

To the harsh reality that life offers


I believe the truth can sometimes be harsh

That my people are intellectually inept and rash

That belief is a thing of the heart

And a fight never gets you that far


I believe that history sometimes forgets

And the real heroes never manifest

It takes courage to call history a lie

And that we are all afraid to die


I believe the sky is not really blue

And love stories are not entirely true

People may greatly differ in what they seek

But the truth... The truth is simply what we believe


If you walk long enough you'll get there

And this adventure, life, is fair

Every effort gets rewarded

And every action is recorded.


True strength is acting weak

And being beaten is a chance to redeem

The best result is between extremes 

And the power to change lies deep within.


I believe in enjoying a good laugh

And comforting a friend when they are sad

In enjoying a simple cup of tea

And cherishing the littlest finest of things


I believe love is the most powerful weapon

But Romeo and Juliet was only a fictional sequel

The greater good seems the driving force withal

But in the end, desire or ambition conquers all.


I believe in a life after death

And an existence before life itself

There is an overall power that sees to our affair

And we are judged accordingly, to what seems fair.


I believe in possibilities that show

There are answers besides a yes and a no.

To all the little things above

I'd say I believe in everything and nothing at all.

BROTHERS BY UMAR ABDULLAHI(Evilgenius)


Of what good are we as brothers,if we can't crave a smile on each other's face?
We can't even stand by each other as stand the pillars of the earth,of
what good are we when we can't support each other?
We seized to laugh with our hearts and close our doors against each
other,the devil laughing hysterically at us until he falls off his
throne.
Now our interests are drifted from collective ones to individual
ones,we are defeated by darkness and yet we don't seek light.
Of what good are we when we can't laugh when our brothers laugh and
grief when they do? Oh my brothers!
All we do now is look for faults in others,criticize them, instead of
picking them up,flying with them.
Once we realize what our brothers mean to us, we ll be unbreakable,
indestructible, together,we defeat the devil and his loyal servants.
I wish not to judge you my brothers but appreciate what you do and get
you on track when you are about to derail.
I pour out my heart to you,not minding what ll happen to me,because I
have found a purpose,to be there for you.

TRIBAL WARS BY UMAR ABDULLAHI(Evilgenius)


We were divided into different races and tribes,not as a barrier between us,
But a unifying force that binds us together,to understand one another,
To be as one without mistreatment of one another,
For true unity lies in diversity,it shows our ability to settle our differences,
The stars may appear distinct from one another,
Some shine better than others,illuminating the heavens,
But they're all regarded as stars with no difference,
So should we regard ourselves as being humans without any difference,
For greatness lies in being one,united we are to stand!
