We used to see them worn by surgeons in an operating theatre, But Covid-19 has sent them to the streets, So that even those who can’t spell the word ‘laboratory’ can use them. At the onset, I seriously loathed them, They seem to be at war with my life giving deep breaths, But now I […]
Read More My Facemask Has Saved Me.If you had the privilege of being the potter,And your woman being in the form of clay still,So that you begin the project of creating your own woman, Bringing together the specs that would make you not look at the greener grass across the fence.So you begin kneading clay, as one who makes dough for […]
Read More If You Were to Create Your Own Woman…This is a tough assignment. It is based on many concepts that must be redirected to meet like rivers meet in a confluence. It is also based on a concept that erupts different responses from people—heaven and suicide. Whereas suicide is an undeniable reality that has and keeps wreaking havoc in our society, Heaven is […]
Read More Will Those Who Commit Suicide go to Heaven?I may have had it rough and bumpy,The highway screeching and screaming,But I still love beautiful things,I will hold on to the steering wheel a little while,For I can’t give up hope,Or, to be bolder, giving up is too costly for me. The journey looks endless,The horizon stretching afar off,But I still love beautiful things,And […]

Read More What if They Knew?I saw a man living right in my space,Rough and devoid of grace,He was ready to quibble and murmur,When not swimming in the pool of humor,This man has invented another disability,Of a step forward and three backward with agility,This man knew how wrong others were,While forgetting he too does err,So he excused himself,While skinning the […]
Read More A MAN USED TO LIVE HERE.We put our effort together,All the tares to gather,That our wheat may grow,Like perfect cornrow,So we Can’t stand seeing around,Even a sickly tare occupying our ground, But not so with God,Who all of us guard,He is well aware that there are tares in the choir,Whose names are legibly written in the quire, Yet He has […]
Read More Beware of TaresOne characteristic of the millennials is a rising case of depressed people in real life but who are so happy online.
