When I was young, I wanted to change the world.

I found out it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation, Nigeria.

When I found I could not change my country, I began to focus on my city. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my Estate.

When I found out I could not change my Estate alone.

Now, as a man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself.

And suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Our impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Why do you feel like my past and future?

Oh, how I wish you were my present.
She made me feel again.

I write because I
woke up this morning. I had
my coffee and finally stopped
yawning.

I write because I have
a lot to say. I want to put it
down before I lose the sound of
the words reverberating in my ear.

I write because my hands
are as filled as my heart. And they
want to reach out to everyone, the ****
the lawyer, the nun.

I write because
I must. It’s no different than
taking a breath. I’ll write and write
until my death.

I would die for you.
Take a bullet,
Walk through fire,
Jump out of a car
For you
I wish you felt this way,
Too.

Sincerely,
Me

There's this corner in the living room I hate
It's gonna hurt me
I will get sick from it
It's got bugs
It's darker as it gets lower into the tip of the corner
I feel like it has eyes sometimes
I don't wanna look at it
It looks at me when I sleep
I don't wanna move my pillow to that side ever
It could be a giant black oozing monster
I'm afraid I smell it
I don't wanna touch it
It's gonna hurt me
Yet I still sleep with my bed in that corner
There really is this corner i hate in my living room

Our lips fighting greedily for each other
Gasping for oxygen
Set ablaze

Well this isn't a poem
It's just a small goodbye
Its announcement
I'm taking a break from writing
So it's not really goodbye.
I'll be back soon.
