Vox et praeterea nihil.

 We live like shadows

transit, fleeting, evanescent

forgotten in time.

would the world know that a versatile writer lived,

who was buried in the tombs of valuable paper, 

overworked, brain-dead from the monotony of survival

who would know that a great painter existed, full of zeal for his passion,  whose passion was stifled, strangled, and killed by viperous words of the stupid, the envious, and the myopic..

who will remember the thinker and philosopher analogous to Plato, Nietzsche, Petterson, 

avoided by kith and kin, branded a misfit and blasphemous by society, living dreadfully in a haze of dissociated alcoholic stupor

we all exist in nothingness, hollow and void of actual existence

we live, we breathe, we dance, we copulate, we go grey, we fight the ghosts of the pasts, 

we live with disappointments and sink warmly into the bed and grave that beckons us.

Eyes

  Your eyes like whispers of hope  in the midst of my troubled soul so I drank from it  and wrote my story with the dreams that lay hidden beneath.  Oh how those would save me, would save me and so I waited for your little games and your little words like water for Nigerians in the Agadez in the delusion of hope,  you made the pain that sought me from every side calm and i waited in love with a mirage from the past  but realised you too had become hardened from vices you embraced  and I shirked you had the become the pain I had
