On Bounded Earth


THE POEM

A home'bed in earth's commode
lost our light earth pressed 'nd quench'd
we are tied, spelled on our heads
what birth revealed is hidden by death
spells that hold us on this earth stones
tells that has the magical hand
termites teeth-in to untie the lace
laces of roots beneath, the vows o' earth
why do we cuddle in the cradle of shrouds tie?
lying in perfume and incense o'rounded rose
gifts that teaches us how to reincarnate
this beauty made dying so sweet
we're confused going round in afterlife
birth steals us into earth o circles'holes
death and life play child take and give
o' they know not why here we quietly lie
we wait here to become little maggot
we whom were once giant men that tread on land
earth is our home o' paradise lost
on nothing's vain does all silently lay
we are not bounded, only in what is bounded do we dwell
where are the exit doors and door keys to open?
keys to breathe life into these abandoned bones
but no bones could brace these souls forever
how do we wake from death o' this bones?
death too knows this doors of no doors
to knock where there are no doors
whom spelled the earth left through those doors
we are not left with our souls abay
it goes through mud of old boots
in death we're still tied in endless riddle
what binds the feet of the mighty mountains?
why does the rising sea not pour into the sky?
heaven is our milk wide up-sky
is earth the sky o' the heavens high?
up is then down and down is the heaven's up-sky
why do we not fly with no feathers?
stones belong on land, throw not away
we attempted, we could only jump
do not worry God with prayers
answers were here before asking was done
heavens will always look down at us
we too can but raise heads look up
there are no rain from the earth to the sky
ascending is rising without wings
souls do not fly to no bowl skies
heaven is here behind our home purity
heaven and hell is not on this earth
on this unreal earth, 'tis on earth that is real
days unfold for fate is bounded
what is not bounded never unfolds
we are free to live when we've lost our flesh
o earth of spirit in clothes o' flesh
when torn spirit wonders in afterlife mesh.

COMMENTARY

On bounded earth is a poem on the limiting spells of creation and the search for answers to questions that had longed been asked by man.
Ogba try to identify why the earth does not let anything out but let things in. The only exception he recognized is death but he still argues further with some question that  





THE ESSAY

The Mysteries Of The Earth Home
Have you ever wondered when you look at the sky why we couldn’t fly away from the earth into the faces of the wondrous skies? Why death takes away life and birth returns same in an unequal exchange?  Swordspears quotes “life gives and death takes, In the end nothing is taken and nothing is replaced, it is a stale battle, life is simply the mathematics of addition and deduction” but life came first in this mighty circle of the creators rule that is why life comes first before death follows.

We were not created to live this earth as the creator made us from dirt and placed us in this home, a paradise we lost our selves still it was our home, he made the earth to know how to heal itself though our actions have made it uninhabitable the earth is still our home. Does it not make you stop and think for a while why it is not only the heavens that close its skies but also we shut our eyes to fall into the profundities of sleep? And it opens when the rising sun knocks on our brow in morning light? We will always abide to its ways as it rolls from the east and treads to the west and bye and bye carries dreams riddled in pieces to its bed.

Have you ever wondered why the rain does not fall into the sky?
