ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

O! My fading spirit

How hurting is the word so killing

Like barbaric African cultures so fetish

Blamelessly condemning my empires

Breaking all my long-built fences

Like a defenseless city, I am naked

Betrayal had bruised me by the face

Jealousy had wreaked more harm

The bleeding had dashed my future hopes.

Like total eclipse, my hope was completely beclouded

Swaying to and fro, restlessly as a pendulum

Without wasting times, it soured the beauty of my days

In a hurry, I am wishing I could win

Unknowingly, my dreams had been shattered

All, by the ugly face of misfortune

Like a determinant, I resisted failure forthwith
