BY THE FIRESIDE



Gather, gathering, gathered we are
By the fireside, from every side
With a united spirit in arts
A magnified voice of hope
And a ratified treaty of peace

By the fireside like the riverside
We lay our burdens to be forgotten
We shed our tears heaped over the years
We heal our pains with antics of gain
And we crunch with faith, driven by fate
 
By the fireside, then or now,
Rains the stories of days, of people and of places
The stories of love, of freedom and of peace
By the fireside with burning desire,
Warms our soul to be free from control

By the fireside wholly without strife,
I see the brothers and sisters overjoyed
Across the bridges of pain, of hate and of losing
To the other side where resides, more to gain
And where dreams cross streams to realms

By the fireside in the trough of fire-tides
Blazes the flames of divine creativity
Coated in the flames of cosmic relativity
Penning pieces with poetic furnishes
Inspiring the desire to never retire

By the fireside with glimmering firelights,
Hovers our bloated thoughts of reality
Like arrows of furrows in rows
Stand firm brothers and sisters
We can realize our dreams by the fireworks
by the fireside

Our Leaders

Oh Africa!
I am sorry for everything
Just sick and tired of hearing
Those innocent voices crying out
Why should one man want it all?
We were fed up with colonialism
So our liberty we seek for
Why now that we are free
And our leaders seems to be puppets
That knows not much
What to do and how to do it
So they treat us anyhow they like
Some of them have big bellies
Which is really unsatisfiable
So they are always wanting
Yet! Never getting all
I want to ask
If those of them like Lauran Gbagbo
Of La-Cote Devoir
Are not feeling sorry
How people are suffering
All for their bad deeds
Please we need peace and love
So with due respect to you our leaders
Sow this seed and nurture them to grow
And just be good leaders
Giving way to others also
To help make things right and better
Yes! To you our leaders I am calling
