LET THEM SAY! IGNORE THEM; LEAVE THEM ...

Ask the Pharisees and they will tell you how absurd Jesus was and all the while they were ignorant of their ambiguity, absurdity and ambivalence. For ignorance can never be taught, enlightened. It is wise but in number which is its voice, strength to make and to mar. Once in number, is wise and once it is one in speech, it has become the authority to live by which can never be corrected and all must conform. For many have caused themselves great injuries to their reputation in trying to enlight...

IT PAID OFF

POEM: IT PAID OFF Yes,it did pay off, those times I was deeply attached to hardwork, those times I couldn’t go a day without lamenting. I was at peace now. I was living my dream life— what more was there to ask for? I wanted to stand on a mountaintop and scream how grateful I am. But did I lose sometimes? Yes, I did—a lot of things. I lost friends, I lost jobs, I lost relationships, but I’m grateful I didn’t lose myself in the process. As I scaled through life and achieved once aga...

DO NOT RETURN

Never make the mistake to return for a second stint, where you left. As glamourous as it may seem, to build or as unfashionable as it may seem, to redeem, create a design thus fashion the unfashionable. If all is going well and things are better off than you left; they will hold you in disdain for coming to feed on the sweat of others. If all is not going well and worse than you left; they will hold you in gross contempt as being desperate with no place to fit in thus returning to filth. Many ...

THE WISE, THE FOOL

A word is much for the wise and many words, even a whole literature is not much, never enough to enlighten a fool. Fools die out of too many words and the wise live by just a word. Fools long for many words just not to hear, be enlightened by any. And the wise live by just a word. For a whole literature can never educate a fool much less the ignorant. #poetry #My2026onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #newsfeeds #nirclestories #storyte...

Knock…Knock… I'm at the crossroads, Crossroads of a fast-paced world. Moving shadows and advanced paces, Where everyone is moving fast and I'm left on a standstill… watching… waiting… thinking… breathing, repeat. The weight, Wanting to help nevertheless, handcuffed by limitations, A tightened noose around my neck, The anxiety of waiting in the uncertainty. “What next”, The bullet shot to my chest, leaving me bare, defenceless as I try to look for a way out of this cycle… wai...

Forever Homesick

#poetry The immaculate eyes, the radiance in her smile and the sweetness of her soul laid claim of me. An undeniable trance that gently played me into love's velvet cage. Her absence? My life undone, a dance with no rhythm and a condemnation to a lifetime of unhappiness: perpetually sweet anguish, forever homesick. Devotion feels a lot more like this and my heart, a damned faithful thing that beats for her. Its pulse knows only one name, Only Her Name. © Silver Sword & Sage Ink of Romance

A Borrowed Dream

A Borrowed Dream

In the hush of night’s quiet pursuit, a tender melody lingers in the dark heard only by those who dare to listen beyond the noise. It hums when dreams are gently set aside, traded for the weight of another’s longing. A whisper drifts through the stillness, soft, cautionary, almost fragile: Are you the master of your own path, or a shadow in someone else’s light? But when that whisper is ignored, the sky breaks and you are pulled into the heart of a storm. Fierce. Unforgiving. Unknown. It...

THE SOUND OF BLINDNESS.

THE SOUND OF BLINDNESS.

#poetry THE SOUND OF BLINDNESS When a nation forgets to listen. Hate has a way of swallowing sound. If a mirror can show you how good or bad you look, what instrument can reveal how foolish a people begin to sound when anger corrodes their ability to reason? Because right now, South Africa speaks with a voice it no longer recognises. A nation that once carried the weight of liberation on its tongue now lets that same tongue sharpen itself against its own reflection. Words spill out without thoug...

AGBERO

#Poetry Agbero are people like you and me— mouths unfilled, hands rehearsed in reaching, eyes trained on another man’s pocket. They are the conductors who laughed at books, who chose noise over wisdom, and now patrol the streets collecting respect by force. They are the idle youth, hired throats of every season, quick to praise rot for a plate of rice, quick to trade tomorrow for crumbs. They crowd around power; political errand men, bending truth into slogans, dancing before thieves, ca...

THE WISDOM OF FAILURE

Success has principles, But failure, the wisdom. For one learns more from failures, hardships than from success, merriment. For failure, hardships scour the heart; teach us moral lessons. Success might be a product of luck, fortune, not necessarily sheer wisdom which failure, hardships imbue within the soul. Meet one who has failed multiple times and you learn multiple times why, how, what, where it shouldn't be done. Meet the man who is fortunate at every whip and you'll just learn how favour...

The exchange

A word Then two Abduction The bargaining Now the question seem unrelated Eyes turned away from what is To what ought to be From who did to who should do Gradually Finally name calling Blame shifting Then the killings, bombings, kidnapping Their exchange for money Our exchange of power A plan devoid of sanity is cheap Humanity is the king Not the medium of exchange One life should be worth more than a commodity for exchange #poetry

THE HUNGRY MOUSE

A mouse once fell into a jar full of grain. First day it celebrated. Food everywhere. No need to struggle. It ate. It slept. It got comfortable. But the grain kept reducing every day. The same place that looked like paradise slowly became a prison. This is how life traps many people. Too much comfort. Too much easy living. And before you know it, the strength to climb out is gone. Sometimes the biggest trap in life is the place you feel most comfortable. -------------------------------- Most p...

THE ART OF LIVING

The Art of Living is but War You have to fight to Live, through the times as it demands. And cowards die many many times before their death. Life is not built to support the weak. The weak need the strong but must get strong themselves and stronger as time goes by and circumstance demands. To be weak, is a self sentence to be slaughtered by the aggression, ruthlessness of the brute, slavish. And when you shall have dominion; you shall break free.

A better age is near. When no sounds of terror will fill the air. And no epidemic will threaten lives. Disasters reduces population. Hunger opresses the soul and makes work unenjoyable. But tomorrow an overflow of food. Troubles and problems causes pain. The elements of sufferings has been told will be no more. How we are not to wonder that those who had kicked bucket will awaken. Whom will see them? How sure they had rise up. Each one who yearns will like to hear the call. A better age, I h...

PEACE BEYOND THE HEADLINES

#poetry We wake to pressure... not birdsong, but static. Screens vomit panic before the sun exhales, headlines clawing the skull like debt knocking at dawn. Fear sells. We line up daily, scrolling borrowed graves, draping strangers’ tragedies across our chests until our own peace files a missing-persons report. The world howls with fracture... nations cracking, promises rotting, men unraveling. Chaos no longer knocks. It pulls up a chair at breakfast, eats from our plates, and whispers thro...

THE NIGERIAN SPIRIT

*THE NIGERIAN SPIRIT* It never yields, Never bows, Never breaks, Never dies. Though the economy bites like iron, Though the streets groan with silent hunger, Though mountains rise, and unyielding— Still, it stands… and overcomes. It thrives where storms refuse to cease, Breathes beneath suffocating shadows, Rises through walls of resistance, Silencing the thunder of its foes. Like a rose guarded by ruthless thorns, Desired, yet doubted by distant eyes, Admired, yet measured with suspici...

#poetry Honeyed lips, crystals in her bra, her skin glistening with alabaster oil. On a bended knee, I surrender to worship the sanctity of the goddess in her and her sacred space. Two beings; a pilgrim and a deity we write scripture in passion's flame as we unravel in magick and spells. Our love; absolute religion—with a devotion forged from an allure nearly forbidden and a union written in the stars. © Silver Sword & Sage

DECEIT

Behind a smile so calm and bright, Lies a shadow hiding from the light. Words as soft as morning rain, Yet carrying seeds of silent pain. Promises float like clouds in the sky, Gentle whispers that slowly lie. Truth is buried beneath the art, Of clever lips and a guarded heart. Deceit walks quietly, never loud, Wearing honesty like a borrowed shroud. It builds its throne on fragile sand, Guided by a trembling hand. But time, the judge that none can flee, Unveils what hidden eyes can’t see. ...

The World Is So Dim By Rev. Igwe Jared 09/03/2026.

The world is so dim, Many nations too grim. People falling to diseases, Bodies lost to bandits’ guns. Our leaders stand deadly mute Their silence harsher than drought. Pain rises without cure, Hope fades like a dream at dawn. Children shrink on cracked earth, While cameras chase their shine. The hungry press their ribs to sleep, And no one hears them scream. Mothers carry their sons home On roads no map remembers. Daughters vanish in silent vans While courtrooms rehearse their lies. The...

It is watching the devil you know the one who wounds without pause, whose words fall like cold rain on bare skin suddenly soften at the sight of another’s suffering. His voice lowers. His head shakes in quiet disapproval. His face folds into sympathy. He offers condolences with the gentleness of a priest. And you stand there… Silent. Blinking rapidly, your mi...

*The Revolutionist Mindset* What spirit moves within the breast of man That, seized by one imperious thought, He yields his reason captive to its flame And crowns that inward fire with sacred name?
