A gathering of coconuts,
Deliberating over tomato sauce,
How to make delicate cuts,
And not spoil the source.

A tragic day in Nigeria's history as mediocre government inaugurates a collection of buffoons as ministers for the next three-plus years.

ROOTS.

I am son of this soil,
Planted in its richness,
No **** can choke my identity,
The minerals fuel my everlasting.

RENEWING.

The skies fly into a thundering rage,
Flashing angry sparks from cape to coast,
The earth had turned a new page,
As green lands enjoy the yearly roast.

BUNDLING.

The little one kicks,
Mom knows it's little tricks,
But when it's a little silent,
She offers a little prayer for what the heavens sent.

TIMELINES.

The day begins as a dark thought,
Even the sun cannot burn through,
The hours bear down on the familiar hurt,
Ending in a cascade of pain truly blue.

NOUGHT. CASE.

In the matter of,
Justice versus commitment,
The defense argued lovingly,
About the prosecution's sweetness.

ELEVATED.

Our love will not fit,
Into your closed boxes,
The laws of gravity,
Can't hold us apart.
