Outpour

What can I say about water unclean
Oil so dense
Or blood spilled to cover the mixture?

What can I think of the hard hats
The Bulging pipes
Or the lies that they disperse?

What is my opinion of RPGs
The memories it is to wipe
Or the cleaning less important than a checkup

What can you say about Greed
Of fluid money
Moving faster than the bullets that secure it

What can anyone say about the Outpour of the Niger
Of its people
Flowing ignorantly into the Sea?

DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND

By
Dear future husband, I've been awake trying to imagine what it'd be like to live with one person for the rest of my life. I don't know if I've met you already, I just wonder if you also think about living with me. I watched The Wedding Party for the third time today and it gives me the same feeling each time. I definitely want to have a dream wedding, which girl doesn't? So I beg you please be responsible. I really hope you're doing something tangible with your life cause am trying my best here. The only thing that scared me in that movie was Broda Banky still asking how he could stick to one person for the rest of his life on the morning of his wedding. Pls I'm begging you in the name of God, figure that out before you even engage me. I cannot come and be crying and be running up and down on heels for that matter. But then am also learning it's more than just having a dream wedding but having a happily ever after marriage. I believe it exists but we b...

Your Picture of You

By
How do you see you? What do you think of yourself in your heart? What picture do you have of yourself in your mind's eye? The answer to these questions determine to a large extent what your life turns out to be like. It affects everything that concerns you and this is why having a good picture of yourself is necessary. You can never outperform the picture you have of yourself. There'll always be a synergy between what image is on the inside and the action produced outside. Firstly, your picture of you determines your relationships. Like begets like, and we unconsciously attract people like us. The people around you paint the picture you have of yourself. If you could at this very moment sweep through your friends list in your mind, you would find out that you chose them because there was some sort of bonding between you two which resonated from your inside. And these relationship have at some point influenced certain decisions you've made in life whether good or bad. Ever...

Arise O'Compatriots

By
Make way, Make way Some things I have to say A few answers from you I pray But first, I hope you enjoy the vacay I wish you would stop the complaints And rise to serve with love and faith Can't you see together we are bound? With one another our strength is found, Have you ever raised a prayer for me, Oh patriots with a noble cause? Did you forget my leaders come from you? What happened to "help the youths know truth"? Why have you become my Jonah? Refusing to guide my heart? Why have you depended on policy, Forgetting the paths of honesty? Why do you think you can lead me, To the land of promise, Forgetting the one who promised? Why have you refused direction From the God of creation? Does it make common sense To sit on a fence and throw stones, When to that fence your house is so close? Both built on your father's land? Awake, O sleeping giants For in you lies my triumph Arise, O compatriots Let's build me in one accord Arise, O co...
