Whatsapp's are green Emails are blue But even my phone knows When it's a message from you Snapchats go ping And IG belts a sound I treasure a message from you Wherever it's found. -EO
Vocals by Eli Oko
I have only the sound of my words to identify my thoughts and intentions I hate that I can express the thoughts on my mind Through a method more divine I guess the main thing I am looking for is an intervention I hear the questions how and why as if we’ve been questioning for … Continue reading Vocals by Eli Oko

Fathers can … Continue reading That’s Fine by Eli Oko

The Beauty of Age by Eli Oko
Staring into the mirror, what have I become As the wrinkles get deeper, I count one by one The scars in my eyes As I stand in fear of my past That it catches up to my future and divides me like parts A moment ago I was young and had goals and now I … Continue reading The Beauty of Age by Eli Oko
