I am enough
Always enough
I do what i have to do
I am black
That does not change my confidence
My own pride
That is my identity
I look fragile
I look weak
That is my strength
It is not physical
I am strong
I can attain my highest heights
I am positive
I am black
I am proud of my color
I choose black again

The particular period of seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks,months,
and years for which something has been happening
or which is needed for something to happen
We were born into it
Now we live in its existence
It waits for no creature
constantly
It TICKS
In-spite of your goings and comings
You can never stop its working
Its an enemy to man
Too fast, you can't catch-up with
Once gone, wasted, too bad,, no REMEDY
As you draw closer to the curtain call
What will it be for you?
Happy? or Sad?
When you begin to account why you ignored its constant ticking
The thought of you making it in a rush
Realization comes in
ZERO achievement
Oh! How you tick
Who can stop you?

Whatever makes you bitter
Whatever makes you worry
Whatever makes you caged
Whatever makes you glummy
Quit
Whoever makes you sad
Whoever bullies
Whoever sucks
Whoever disrespects
Disconnect
However horrible
However tacky
However crude
However rough
Relax

Standing out the thatched hurt
I see the seamless closure of the windows
The gloom that I smell is very intense
And I also feel the zero percentage of chance staring at me bluntly
I hear the silent sobbing of the helpless walking down and stilling my nerves
At this point, I am bereft of all form of wisdom and understanding
What can I possibly say to make these one ever feel elated?
I say to them just hang-on , soon...
And they say we have heard that before.
Then, I THOUGHT TO SAY YOU KNOW LIFE IS IN PHASES...
And THEY SAY even that too
Its not a breaking news
Something new walked on the platform of my thoughts
Happy, I was to bring this...
Then I said it can only get better ...
They all cut-in and asked
WHERE IS THE GLIMPSE ?

SHOW ME A FAITHFUL STEWARD By; Esther Esuga
Diligent in his responsibilities
Takes great delight in life's little gifts
Remembers the days of humble beginnings and never haughty in spirit
Handles his only talent with great enthusiasm
Does not feel that bravery lies in the act of insults
A faithful steward
Has respect for people placed in the position of power and authority
One who is meek and open to corrections
Hungry for wise counsel
Never ungrateful because of his understanding of the circle of life
He knows, PEOPLE ALWAYS NEED PEOPLE.
A faithful steward

UNTAMED By; Esther Esuga
A roller- coaster on a velocity that is totally uncontrollable
A fire that ignites, goes out of bound and wipes the greens away
Usually very brief yet highly intense
Like a downpour of rain which should bring blessings
But, ironically destroys all the lovely, attractive and historic structures
That took one almost a life time to build
Very easy to wreck its destruction almost impossible to re-build such fondness
What could have been averted just within a splits second , ALAS!
It stings so deep that such wounds are nursed almost for a life time
When we already spoilt a supposed pleasant super
Realization comes in
What often time could have been avoided
We allow ourselves to wallow in such myopic feelings of the moment
And allow it to bring out the foolishness in us.
