The little ants by the edges,
Or the tiny microscopic ticks,
The scurrying roaches along the cracks,
Or the annoying rodents lurking the shadows?

BLACK MALE.

Moulded in brown,
Built of ebony,
Wired with sinew,
Derived from coal.

Born in this land,
Suffer in this land,
Die in this land,
Worst tragedy of all kind.

Nigeria. Shame.

A ******* estate of,
Might is right where,
Gentleness is weakness and,
Violence takes it all.

FEMINISM?

Taking their rightful,
Place on the wrong,
Side of historical,
And perceived curses.

On either side of,
The crimson divide,
Sat two hearts that,
Beat out untruths.

Pretending all is forgiven is the highest form of deceit.

The month came,
To me, of the same,
Need to feel good,
Again, 'cos I am no wood.

At the red table, many things become scarlet.
