Provoe Poetry - Wakey Wakey

by -


A whisper sinks deeper than a yell

My words are pockets of raw power

Silence screams louder than rage

Your conscience is my loyal ally


Forgiveness is stronger than Vengeance

Karma will deliver exactly what you deserve

A sage's Mystery trumps a fool's Fame

They can't critique what they can't observe



Imagination, attention to ideas in detail

Ideal for desire, if dreams must set sail

Grand thoughts access higher frequencies

Receiving broadcasts from sources beyond


Creativity is a soul's expression of abundance

Working with divinity to bring order from chaos

Competition is a fearful reaction to "scarcity"

This error of perspective limits the higher mind



Life Force swaps matter with no favoritism

Consciousness runs the show according to its plan

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen - flowing as it pleases

A tree serves in honor, a termite as it does a man


Importance is man-made. Nature won't discriminate

Aligning with it's principles, it refuses to negotiate

The Ego will resist correction until you find the Truth

Search your heart, to evade distractions from the youth



Opinions are all around us. Filters are invaluable.

Investigate what you believe. Most ideas are laughable.

Develop your voice of reason. Ignorance is palpable.

Reduce your foolishness daily. Wisdom is profitable.


Wake up to your responsibilities. Do the work you can.

Find purpose in your becoming. Develop a plan.

Nobody is coming to save you. All you need, you have.

This and more, I wish for you. Rise up and take a stand.

Overcoming PTSD & OCD: Powerful Routines of a Nigerian Creative | PT 1

A GUIDE TO MENTAL HEALTH In my 7-year effort to build the Provoe brand (a platform teaching self-mastery), I applied some hacks that helped me to survive the challenges of being a Nigerian creative. Dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder from my childhood without therapy, I encountered some toxic experiences in the entertainment industry, which helped me detect symptoms of bipolar disorder. I self-diagnosed my mental health condition through dedicated research and self-observation. Have you ever felt sad, angry, or confused, shortly after basking in joyful enthusiasm? It's OK to feel these emotions, as everyone does. But when your mood changes erratically, consider paying attention to your mind. What is Mental Health? Just like self-care - you brush your teeth, bathe, eat healthy, exercise, and get good sleep to maintain a healthy body. But what do you do to maintain a healthy mind? Mental health is about how you feel, think, and behave. This affects your attitude and impacts ...

Groomed for Doom - The Last Round

In 2002, two teenagers forged an unbreakable bond in their small town's rough, unforgiving neighborhoods. Jason, the older of the two, was tough, determined, and desperate for a way out of the cycle of poverty. Younger and full of untapped potential, Caleb looked up to Jason as his hero. They found their escape in an unlikely place: a rundown boxing gym at the edge of town, where the smell of sweat and hope filled the air. Jason: "You gotta keep your guard up, Caleb. This ain’t just about throwing punches. It’s about thinking. Outsmarting the guy in front of you." Caleb (panting): "I know… I’m trying, but you make it look easy." Jason (smirking): "It’s never easy. That’s why we’re here. No one’s gonna hand us anything. We gotta fight for it. You ready for that?" Caleb (determined): "Yeah. I’m ready." They would spar for hours after watching clips of their boxing heroes. The future was bright and they couldn't help but daydream their names...

Make That Move... (If You Dare)

My 7th year of losing streaks in the  forex markets   buried me beneath a mountain of debt, with a severely battered self-esteem, low enthusiasm, and cut off from friends, family, fans, and loved ones. Staying away from social gatherings was a high price I paid, and without traveling to see my family for years, no visible success to celebrate, and being single at this ripe age of 36... I became a shadow of a once-promising musician, writer, prolific multimedia producer, and digital creative. " I have been forgotten", a voice would say. Lonely, demotivated, and surrounded by stubborn circumstances, my approach to solving this challenge was adopted from one of Earl Nightingale's podcasts. Organize goals in order of priority. Do what would move the needle the most. Start where you are, and do what you can with what you have. Put every ounce of effort into fulfilling each task to the best of your ability. This has focused my strengths and resources on one project at a time,...

The Prison of "Special"

"I am the center of the universe. I come first, therefore I am most important."  Most people feel this notion, strongly, and some don't mind plotting, scheming, and deluding everyone (including themselves) to maintain this belief. To say otherwise is to commit treason, though once in a while, we see ourselves for the nothings we are, relative to the grand scheme of life. The tiny roles we play get exaggerated by our ego, and that's ok. Such was the case for Princessa, who was brought up to believe she was better than her neighbors. She maintained this belief, pushing herself to outgrow every environment she found herself in. Believing she was destined for Greatness, she wasn't allowed to mingle with "low-class" people. Her caliber of friends and acquaintances reflected this fact. She basked in the idea she was different, as c ompliments were showered on her, regularly .  Taking extra caution to live up to set expectations, she over-compensated in most ar...
