SOPHOCLES

On it's way Slowly moving away Packing up it's array Of bounties and blessings We meet again In three six five days Or less Oh Lord! Make me witness The one coming And after And after Till I expire Unshackled they'd be Angry, and seeking revenge Setting new strategies Inventing greater challenges Catching the weak unawares And testing the strong through tears Oh Lord! Make me strong Focus, grace and power To replicate Myriad of achievements Seemingly impossible in it's absense 28/30 or is it 28/29 The month that has it all; Night of ascension Revelation of The Divine Guidance Night of thousands of blessings Oh Ramadan #SOPHOCLES

Half way up the mountain Snow capped peak beckoning Parched, wineskin dry, no fountain Base so far. No returning My heart longs for both Quizzically. What's the solution Stone set, unchangeable oath The end is near, living on rations The tiniest movement Triggered an avalanche Consuming all in it's path I might just jump and break a neck Either way See you soon Always dark, no way For light in the abyss of darkness lagoon #SOPHOCLES

18 months and counting Not everyone starving Is suffering Nor everyone suffering Is starving. A citadel of learning Through the unwise cunnings Of some, is now desolate. Cobwebs and animal droppings Flamboyantly now decorate Classrooms. Chairs Which have once graced the buttocks Of erudite scholars of old and new Now pitiably rests the scaly underbelly Of geckos and lizards Dust coated lecture theatres All apparatus not nailed In tatters Constituted authority Can no longer solve this case I beseech you Oh Lord! Authority over all authorities! Hear the cries of faithful servants And shut the mouth of slimy sycophants SHARE.. LIKE... REBROADCAST #PRAYFORLAUTECH #RE-OPEN-LAUTECH #SOPHOCLES.

Molten lava rising from deep A giant waking from sleep Weak and soft at first But when great pressure is thrust Resistance breaks. Bursts Never again would it remain the same A giant is born Now you'll know my name The volcano erupts. A new mountain is born Things will never remain the same. The river is dry The time is nigh Stealing the words of a friend The birth of a fiend For foes. Welcome to me, World! # SOPHOCLES_DIAMOND

SOPHOCLES : Idris Momodu : To Idris Momodu Abu-mardiya Humility personified My first impression of thee Amiable, calm and smiling No wonder when girls see you ...

When dire situation arises And you show lesser people your hand Giving them knowledge best reserved Cos of help you seek At best,little they are But puff up with importance Shoulders carried high With intellect so low Powerful, blessed, untouchable they think They are Speck of dust under my foot Holds more esteem Than they command But these are dire times Pride locked away In cold crypt of my mind Rough seas, high hills and rough climes No wind at sea To push my ship to bay Patiently waiting Silently taking All they can throw at me But when the Asgardian warrior Rise again The puny creatures will know How inconsequential they really are

Parched Like the flaming of the sun The throat screams Just a drop of moisture Thunderclaps Deep rumbling in the abdominal crevice Acid burning through tissue Empty All you can gather_ amass the wealth Skip Return in multiple of sixty Generosity And kindness resurrected Season of joy_ fulfilment Celebration of life Birth month of The Guidance Eradicating vices Which of the favors of your lord do you deny? 21/30. #SOPHOCLES

Sincere promises Issued with humility Just flattery _____refutes Heart of foam Words of stone Surrendered to fate Tears. # SOPHOCLES

Omidan Radiating serene atmosphere Basking in the light glow of your care Stunned, cant move an inch, like a deer Caught in the headlights The world is but a village But the four corners of the village Cannot produce another magnificent Being like you. Most beneficent Lord bestowed upon thee Silky smooth shinning skin, sheen Orente The dark skinned lady full of lustre Blinding beauty sheening so far Seeing you gives me akinesis Can't move breathe or giggle Your smile like anaesthetic Conscious but can't feel my brain tick Radiant laughter made me apologetic For sins of past and present and future Arewa Protuberant eyes got me captivated Overwhelmed by your imperfect perfection Full eyebrows turning me wandering Through the depths of forest so deep Omoge oreke to quintessential I will praise your beauty a quintillion times In all time and climes Perfection Personified # SOPHOCLES

             To the speeding lecturer Like the cheetah in the jungle your nature is running Albeit with your mouth Perhaps, hot yam is pressed against your tongue speeding across the pages of the book my pen is restless numb with pain of trying to keep up with the parade of your word 'come again' sir?' "hmm" "na wa o" echoes across the hall But like the black faced old bat you are deaf to the sound Old fashioned Sticking to old notes the same used by my grannies in college now i know why you are a profesor you taught them all with the same old note Forever speeding, never explaining... #SOPHOCLES

slowly silently slithering on the sand i have my heart in my mouth at the sight beating fast against my rib cage peaceful, crawling on ahead of me without care free paused in my track can't move no more admiring this brown basking beauty tracing a recurring s on the sand i am in awe of the brown snake emerald eyes glinting in the morning sun scared and enthralled i can never man up to kill one. #SOPHOCLES

Chaos of thoughts Jumbled emotions Indisposed body Angry at the green blood. Strength seeping away Heart weeping Judgement askew.... Oh Allah Set our affairs straight
