My eyes have seen
A tree with roots in the sky
Branches in the soil
And flowers in the roots
My eyes have seen
A woman impregnated by her new born baby
A ****** **********
A blind tour guide
My eyes have seen
A buffalo gazing in the desert
A lion hurting in the ocean
A monkey breast-feeding a snake
A tiger helping the zebra cross the road
A crocodile offering a mouth full of water to a thirsty calf
My eyes have seen
The moon in the day
The sun in the night
The lunar and solar eclipse simultaneously
The full brightness of the stars in the day
My eyes have seen
A leader cutting the throat of his
surrogates
And being praise for paying so much for their burials
All these I have seen in my nation
My eyes have seen
My mouth has sang the song of sorrow
My eyes have rained the tears of agony
And my legs were left to dance in the pool of my tears
And my pen dancing in the pool of it ink
My eyes have seen
I need to drink from the chatting well to forget what my eyes have seen

Sitting calmly aligning in-between the three sitters
Adorn with a silk from milk
Thinking about the libido of her crown
Like a star lost in the galaxy
After seeing a Ghanaian movie
A sudden push through her opening
as placenta push through during birth,
as water break through from underground
a cloth of blood, fought through
She felt it,
she saw it,
But what to do? What not to do? and how?
Was a question demanding an answer,
Like a man lost on the crossroad
On his wedding night,
On his bed
Close to the bride like a ****** bird
To be and not to be like Shakespeare
She shouted
What is this?
Blood!!!
This is the making of a woman
An end to her holiness
A new spring of emotion and pain
No more daddy and mummy play
Remember "Always" always
When the visitor is around
you are now a woman
