'Unity Is Always Welcome Here'

In the beginning
We created 'Ibeji'.
And we said,
"Let there be Ibeji Poetry"
and there was Ibeji Poetry.
We saw that the
Ibeji Poetry was good,
Sent from above as
a gift for the healing of racism
And a happy racial harmony day.

Was it just an illusion?
-------------------------------------------
As with Ibeji,
Yet again
I found a split
Another split
There are too many splits

I have fallen to pieces.
----------------------------------------------
It's
One Ibeji for the Performer's pride
One Ibeji for the times we speak
One Ibeji gotta stay alive
One Ibeji.... I will survive
One Ibeji for the city streets
One Ibeji for the hip hop beats
One Ibeji oh I do believe
One Ibeji is all we need

Just One.

Title: 'OPTIMIST' /F.Oil  - Prayer Art by Rev.Bola A

'The Optimist'

It’s amazing how well
Each day goes.
As clear as a bell.
It’s as if
The Universe knows
Who I am and what
I have to tell.

Like a special delivery,
By my favourite restaurant
South of the border;
Of the day's
Mouth watering order,
I receive what I want.

And like a giant
Magic genie,
All my wishes
Are granted freely.

Things flow to me
In a timely way.
I'm dancing with the
Universe every day.

Nothing in my life
Ever seems boring
I wake up every morning,
Anticipating what
Each new day is revealing.
And I'm infused with energy,
Joy and well-being.

I’m glad to be alive.
I'm glad to survive
I know I can’t change fate.
But, I can hardly wait,
To awaken in my body
And seize the day,
Without delay.

I love the joy
And unfolding of my life.
I'm not even coy'
I'd make the perfect wife.

I love the new surprises
That come my way,
In all shapes and sizes.
My ability to move
With them when
The need arises.
And the inspiration
Which bravely comes
By me, from distant drums.

I love knowing
Where I'm going.
Those familiar voices
Reminding me of
Those infinite choices,
To manifest my future
With the perfect picture.
