TWO HANDS. (TRIBUTE TO GAME OF THRONES. [2])

An imp, an intelligent one,
A scholar, well beyond his time,
Both step forward, before,
Their queens turn everything into dust.

WHAT MAN MADE.

Hardly any good,
What man has ever created,
Guns, explosives, prostitution,
Gangsters in the hood,
Sad, this doom, uncannily initiated.

WHEN YOUR REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR IS NOT YOU.

Standing there, wondering,
Who was staring back at me,
The stranger with the devilish grimace,
Taunting me with a wicked grin.

WE WEAR SKIRTS.

Don't put me down,
Because I'm female,
Don't tear my gown,
Because you're male.

The Nigerian Police Force in conjunction with some FCT sanctioned operatives under the guise of environmental & social services went rough on young women found at clubs just before the commencement of the Moslem fasting period. These citizens of Nigeria were incarcerated, allegedly sexually assaulted with clubs & sticks all because they were found in 'ungodly hours' at 'red' spots in Abuja.

They however forgot to arrest malefolk in similar circumstances. HYPOCRITES.

COME. PAY. THREE. HOT.

And to those that have died,
To keep our children free,
Our loyalty, around you, is tied,
Always, to water, this freedom tree.

STOMACH WHISPERER.

My insides guide me,
Tell me what and when,
Whether before ten,
Or well past three.

FRONTING.

Between fiery and fun,
Eyes that make heads turn,
She pretends she hates my guts,
Yet I colour the shape of her thoughts.
