SOLACE CHAMBERS BUK

CHASING SHADOWS You think you were born to impress, All you want to do is oppress. You believe that’s how you’ll progress, But when asked to redress, you neglect. You ignore advice from family And follow your friends’ counsel blindly, Just to fit in and impress. The fear of being left behind Leads to depression and stress. Your relationships are built on lies, Backstabbing, and deceit, Roofed by betrayal. You think you're somebody, But you're just trying to please others. When you become a burden, You'll be cast aside, Sinking into depression. False impressions and oppression Will force you to rethink your actions. You'll realize too late You weren't born to impress, But to progress. Now, it's time to redress, Repent, and return to your family.

The Rainy Days   Out of the darkness that detained me, Heavier than I imagined — wet, yet dry, A wanderer I was, drained of all strength, Marked by their glances on a pitiful soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, The pitied soul did not wince nor cry aloud. Beneath the burning weight of rainy days,   It bled — yet never bowed. Thunderous clouds of wrath and tears   Loomed in gloom — yet smiled at horror. Within it, yet prepared for its return, And should it come again — it shall find the soul unafraid. It matters how the pitied soul endured   The sudden turn from scorching trial to peace.   For the soul remains the master of its fate, And still — the captain of its soul.

Nigeria is bleeding, With blood of citizens, Watering soil yet bearing no fruits Like red fade on scarfs While sun sets on justice. Nigeria is bleeding, With blood of citizens, Hanging from places too far for the high to see As corruption flourishes in white robes While justice sleeps in golden chambers  Nigeria is bleeding, With blood of citizens who only dared to dream, In the country of weeping,  The truth is buried beneath bureaucracy, And the price of freedom, Is paid by unmarked graves. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  Adamu Mustapha is a poet, a spoken words artist and 100 level student of Bayero University Kano. He is an enthusiastic member of the Solace Chambers and his interest in poetry has been since he was young and he aspires to be a well known poet in the future.
