Matthias Pantaleon Poems

Change is the clarion call, we desire most
The change is here the mask remain the same
Three masquerades with nine heads and one eye
Siege with complexities, blur vision, short sighted
...

The city of dreams
Sparkling aura with awe
Ilu ti ina wa - city of light
Little bubbles of gold in the sun
...

If you wait for me you will meet death alone
Because I will never be caught dying with you
Keep moving, don't look behind your shoulders
There is nothing behind you, but mere shadows
...

To the poachers from whose claw I escaped
I'm thankful with a kindness that is sweaty
To the hordes of hades who had my pride raped
You are without stain, a neatness that is cruelty
...

Don't save the day to die instead
Your effort will be mistaken for folly
While they take the glory instead
...

Blood on the street;
The man who cast the first stone
was discharged and acquainted
While passersby were jailed
...

It's night and the cloud is heavy with storm
Rain will be here soon, my mother hurriedly
Put away the chickens in their wooden castle
An a few baskets to trap water for tomorrow
...

Learn to say the impossible - you are forgiven
Don't let grudges ruin your live, you only got one
Apply the sixth sense - they have got only five
Do the unthinkable, outlived their lies with truth
...

I was born at night tall like swagger cane
A Friday's child - delivered with muse
That was fortunate enough for my parents
Oral poetry poured plentiful in the morning
...

Do away with darkness, the earth needs light
Shine your light, let brightness take over the
earth, we cannot continue to wallow in the night
whereas morning is full of sunbeam and butterflies
...
