I am standing on a road that leads
To a somewhere,
Where mysteries need no answers
Cos their knowledge do not know,
Where fantasies keep dreaming
About a reality distant and cold.
I am walking down, and i want you to join me,
vnorm, ps,couz,fikrah,high priest and u, Yes, including you too,
I want to see,..... dont you?

Isn't there a place where love begets,?
Where Lust is always put to the test
And hatred is a slave at best?
I will like to see,
To see things fall apart and still
Not hate the chinua in me...
Isnt there a way, a place, a song?
Where our wisdom would make up for knowledge when things go wrong....
I want to know,.... dont you?

In this happiness,
Misery tickles me,
I neglect,
But later go to her,
Is she that much of a good company?
I wonder cos my 'share' of love never profits me...
Y do i keep investing,
Is it for the poetry?

I sit and look away,
The right angle my head forms with this empty space can't be seen,
and the degrees and lengths i go cant be imagined...
Isn't this how d mind works
Or What the head thinks,?

I want my knowledge to understand my curiosity,
To make 'the floating' stand on its head as i pull down gravity...
I want to know when this world became this gray,
Like a drama with characters that never play.

I have seen its nakedness,
sisters looking lustfully at me,
Such incest...
As old as they say this knowledge is,
Am still googling through life,
Searching for meaning...
I want to know,.... don't you?

I want to understand all these elements without studying chemistry,
Life's generosity to death, its living.
I want to know this ignorance,
To grab realization by its balls as i walk away from this non challance.

As a slave to freedom,
I never want to be free,
Cos somehow,
Slavery is waiting out there for me.

I like that am loving you,
But that's the least i can say,
And nothing is the most i can do.
You are the reality that visits me in the dream,
yet u never want me to come through,
I want to, don't you?

I want words to be enough
When actions cannot help,
When the water seizes,
I want my thirst to belch.

As a fool trying to be a sage,
All my pen does is rage,
Ps, udoh, vnorm,
Would you understand
if emptiness all of a sudden
Spreads itself on this page?

I want to be able to understand my friends,
To be myself around them
And hope their love never pretends,
To find rest in sleep,
A heart to sweep
and a mind truly deep.

I want to make it through, don't you?
