I  met a damsel
She is a goddess
Her beauty is endearing
Her aura, infectious
If you know Veluptas
The goddess of sensual pleasures
Then you'll know Venus
The Roman goddess of love

She pulled her magic wand
None could ever resist her
For she passes as a diety
If this is the road to yonder place
Please help tell my people
My choice is made
Afterall, once shall all men die

In her enclave were beauties
Mortal frames in immortal entities
Aisha Quandisha played aide
The magnificent goddess of sexuality
While Aizen Myo-o watched
This goddess of love and lust smiled lustfully
She was a fine sadomasochist

Nothing else mattered
Fearful, nostalgic but ecstatic
I braced up for impact
Like an airplane about to crash
What a **** way to explore and expire
Testosterone became active

He is the god of passion
His name is Anteros
He stepped up to me
Gently he whispered to a mortal
In the land of the immortal
Here, you don't need  aphrodisiacs or tramadol
A good show lasts five minutes
Thirteen by extension, trust me he said

Confused and puzzled I inquired
Then why do the earthly Queen say "Harder, harder"
They never get satisfied
"Stop killing yourselves mortals"
If it exceeds thirteen, it is entertainment he said
Go, enjoy it while it lasts
Go worship in her altar!

As I approached with caution
Flanked by Cupid
The Roman god of ****** love
Suddenly, I resurrected
Back to the land of the living
It took an anopheles mosquito
To make me realise it was all but a dream
So, i was plagued by chronic malaria!

Even though the mosquito I killed
For denying me pleasures forever
I learnt a great lesson Except my will is updated
Never again will I use enhancers
In place of tiger nuts, dates and banana
Lest a WhatsApp status last longer than me

To be awarded a Ph.D
As a researcher per excellence
In the faculty of Gender and Sexuality
In the prestigious University of Life
I need to reach Venus
The goddess of love
We need to finish the empirical study
Via the instrumentality of direct knowledge

If you know the quickest route to Venus
Please "Hulla", "Odimkpa"
Who knows, maybe we can go together
I guarantee you maximum "Shishi"
What I can't guarantee is
If the story will be told by us
But history will be kind to us
For this is a plague destroying homes
The onus of truth lies with us...

I don't know where this boat will dock
I don't know where it is taking us
But surely my dear
Ours is not to know tomorrow
If we take it one paddle per time
Living one day at a time
The tide might sway us aright
To a life of bliss
I guarantee there will tempest storms
The type in the days of Noah
Give me your heart my dear
Sail with me in this lonely journey
For in oneness we are strong
Only then can be berth safely
On this journey called love

As you walked by
You carried an aura
I saw the tiger in your swagger
Even when you danced
It was a death roll
A dance of death
Like the mighty Crocs in Africa
Come, come to me your eyes called!

Weak but adventurous
I was willing to take a risk
After all, "All die na die"
You invited me to your hallowed chamber
I pounced every corner of your palace
An exact replica of the acts of Samson and Delilah
I positioned for a rematch
Nothing tasted sweeter I swear
Then you faded away, forever...

As my world fell
I was caught in between two worlds
No doubt, that of life and death
Nothing in life is really free
It comes with a cost
A stigma I have to live it
Because I lacked self discipline
It was a sweet bitter fling
That left an incurable stigma for life

Don't pray for me
My choice is made
This is for you
Before you walk that walk
Think of the consequences
Lest what befell me comes on you
Don't say I didn't tell you
There can be trouble in paradise
Save you are ready to say "Yes"

I need to confess my sins
That all my prayers be answered
With a fitting open cleave front
Hair covered with agenda
The opening separated me from him
He is every woman's want
My prayer just got answered
Even before confession started

Who is she?
He ruminated on this for weeks?
Until my phone rang
With a request to prepare soup
I made my best banga soup
Right in his kitchen
I raised up my legs
On his kneels, I went to heaven

No mortal ever touched me like that
The words came slowly
"Touch your toe", he said
Then he played the opera
It was "waoh", I went wild
Right then and then
I vowed, "May this never end"

If this be a sin
We will go to hell fire together
The way he touched my *******
I wondered where he got experience
He is supposed to be celibate
I looked straight in his eyes
Have you ever done this?
"I watch adults he said"

He turned me over
Legs raised like a pole vault
The sunset in between his legs
For a moment I lost my sanity
Slowly I muttered, "Marry me"
This is sacrilege I know
But may this never end
My Priest got great stunts

Never have I felt so young
Nor been to heaven and back
My young lovers could not match his dexterity
He pounded me like a Lion
Seeing him makes me wet
I had to change my place of worship
But it was a fairy tale...

We desecrated the altar
Abused the holy annointing
For moments of pleasure evermore
Each time I see him
Adorned in his ecclesiastic robe
I see a **** star, my love
If only he will abandon the call
But he said "No", because Mama said so
True love is just not fair
Why did I fall in love with a Priest

The worse happened
I got really served
Who gets pregnant for a Priest?
When he moved to sin city
He realised he wanted a legacy
He wanted the child
A product of our sacrilege
Against his will, I flushed it
Our child was gone
I lost him forever
Only then did I truly realise
"Anamachikwanu" is not a love song

If love was religion
I would worship you forever
If love was a school
You'll be my core and only course
If love was a song
Be sure the world would be our stage

Since the day you hacked my mind
The bad boy in me got extinguished
I wish I could turn mountains to pebbles
And tell NASA to build you castles in space
I wish I met you before my wife
"No mind dem oh! Na dem!"

If you fall for these true lies
It's either you are a learner
Or you came with a plan a gamer
Before you allow him plug his bluetooth
Be advised: he is just a flirty-flirty He Goat.

A Cherry blossoms in it's time
It's a beauty of times and seasons
But yours is ageless and timeless
Like a dazzling mirage.

Atmospheric conditions changes
As by-products of optical illusions
Like the moon usually waits
To reflect the glory of the sun
But yours is not serendipitous
Your spark is programmed to shine till fade

Mojekwu's probability can be biased
The urn can be unfavourable to a ball
But the ***** in your eyes are blazing
They tell the story of beauty with brains

The reflection from that BMW
That shone across that chariot
Owned by that Happy
A Pharmaceutical colosus
Revealed your perfect dentition
The type found on enchantresses

If the world goes numb
Your voice will be all that is needed to hear
If the lights world over goes off
The sparkle in your eyes
Will be all needed to see

When meeting friends
You always know the beginning
Not the end
That is how Divinity programmed life
Even Augusta can attest to this

The refraction of light
Blazing from the heated skies
Have all pledged their loyalty
To you, a beauty Queen
The way other principalities
Bows to the presence of a Lioness

This work, written from the purerst of heart
Is just to let you know that
If i were an ocean
You will be my only pebble
If i be an Accountant
You will be my only Audit
If i be a Pharmacist
You'll be my only medicine

Someone tell me this is not real
Before i wake up from my slumber
That a dazzling mirage
Somewhere in her sacred heart
Smiles at an Author and a Life Coach
Whose pen is worthless
Without her "Yes"

In you lies the grace to inspire, to make others grow.
You also have the fire that makes God's words glow.
You never seem to tire to share all that you know,
You want all before the retire, to think about cash flow.
You find time in life's quagmire to lift up every soul,
You are blessed, equipped and empowered,  
I know because God says so!

Something light
By day or night
Is just not right
It is tainted with fights

From a cockfight
I have foresight  
Based on hindsight
It'll end in a fistfight

Also, if she is water-tight
And you break it over-night
Be ready for a bullfight
Your generation will end as a bombsight

Clad in a tight
Gives you no right
To cultivate her headlight
All rights reserved for "her night"

It will be my delight
To see you out of sight
Incarcerated just downright
Oh justice! How so sweet and right.

My father; my hero
My mother; my Angel
My Guardian my friend
For your centuries of support
Thank you

For centuries of love
Self denial and support
That i be educated
In a crazily literate world
And be liberated from oppression
Thank you

For years
I ran your race
Successfully with laurels
Thought to make you proud
Especially amongst your friends
That you be proud
But within, unfufilment brewed

I 'A'ced my courses
Accolades poured on you
As parents of the best student"
Even though it earned me a place
As a valedictorian
I was dead within

Crowded in the hall
Many saw the smiles
The media went frenzy
An academia was born
But behind the smile
Lies a lonely soul
For i was dead within

You never asked who i was
Never exploited my gifts
The reason God created me
You turned me to a machine
"La cram", "La pour"
Then with honours i graduated

I love you Dad
I adore you Mum
For programing my life
That you may be happy
I hated you with passion
I loved you, then i hated you

Tired of the statusquo
My best friend too is
Victims of circumstances
We made to satisfy you
That we may embark
On a journey to self discovery
And truly find fulfillment

As i make to receive my scroll
It is a gift i owe you
Receive it in peace and joy
That i may be free
Free to pursue my course
And take responsibility therefrom

The scales are fallen
Awash with sea salt
Surely i will fail
But in failure i will learn
It is a condiment for success
For surely
Every balloon can fly
If we can just try

My son is a Doctor
My daughter is a Lawyer
I want you to be a Pilot
She will make a great Accountant
The Porters plan you distorted
But HE awaits you
Your time in judgement you'll have
For every was created for a purpose

On the part of self-discovery
Many destinies are tired to mine
Therefore i must manifest
On land the Cheetah reigns
The Sailfish dominates the sea
While the Eagle rules the sky
Each operating in their timezone and space

If you are in my shoes
You have a voiceless voice
Don't worry
Your time will come
Even if they pretend all is well
Play the fool and breast the tape
It will all end in praise

This torment is but for a while
Then you can gift it to them
Your certificates and laurels
Only then can follow your path
Like a Bird iniquitously caged
And fly to the sky
Where creativity and talent reigns supreme

If you want the sauce
It's home sweet home
I shall carry the wine
From the iconic palm tree
But you must see my people
The Umu Nwayis and the Adas
"Igba nkwu abia go"

You want total package
Pay the price, for the prize
First, come, declare manifesto
Not as politicians of our time
For Amadioha judges instantly
Then, Nnayi shall be officially informed

"Bia kuaka n'uzo"
With an original Ibo kola
That which does not understand "oyibo"
And when I say "Yes"
Your kolanut will be accepted
Giving way for "Iju ajuju"

Come with dry gin and gifts
More kolanuts and drinks
The Umunna awaits my King
The one that tickles my fantasy
Pay the "Ugwo ishi Nwanyi"
I can't wait to bear your children

Now that we are here
"Igba nkwu Nwanyi"
Let the town crier sound the gong
Come wine, dine and merry
When the wine is in inside "Iko"
Even if all lights in the world goes numb
Your sweet fragrance will lead me to you

I see the glow in your eyes
Still as enchanting as our first meet
Nothing else mattered
As I danced towards My "Obim"
They called and beckoned
But my heart belongs to you

Drink my love, drink
Drink from my breast of life
For therein you shall drink
For the rest of your life
Till death do us path
And with this drink
I thee wed, for better for best!

A Poem: Naija To The World

Naija to the world!
It is for a good reason
You were born Nigerian
Raised as a Nigerian
With a Nigerian dream

If you aren't proud of your identify
People, culture and heritage
Others are, even for her complexities
Uniqueness and the never say die spirit
If you doubt, ask Tyson Fury

A giant in Africa
The most populous black nation
Not in Africa, but the world
A people of great mind and intellect
Witty, strong and determined

Yes, we have image problems
Four percent of us holds a PH.d in the United States
While seventeen percent holds a Masters
We are the most educated ethnic group in the United States
Google is your friend

Some of our products, Afrobeats
Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Chimamanda Adichie
Anthony Joshua, Kanu Nwankwo, Chioma Ajunwa
Philip Emeagwali, Silas Adekunle and Col. Oviemo Ovadje
And of course, Babatunde Raimi

If they ask you of my identity
Tell them I am a proud Naijaboy
Ready to take my world by storm
To rebrand my great Nation, Nigeria
A country, so blessed, yet poor; but proud

I was nyctophobic
Until I met you
The atmosphere became astraphobic
Suddenly, my head became ligyrophobic
And you know I am enochlophobic
For fear of photophobia
I watched from the distance
Others looked pediophobic
But you, like a goddess
I have met fair weathered Damsels
They made me ophidiophobic
For that's what they are
I saw the "Beware of Dogs"
Not to worry, I am not cynophobic
Neither am I bathophobic
Because I'll swim the tide with you
Cast your aerophobia on me
That we may cross the seven seas
And tie our love with binds
For without you, there is no me

There is a new necklace in town
When it is hidden, it is a treasure
When it is unduly exposed
You can call it a trash
Sadly, adorned on a select few
Who have lost their sense of morality
In a generation worse than Soddom and Gomorra

Should I spot your necklace exposed
I will look as far as my eyes can see
For ages, you made us commit "lookery"
Then graduated to the beautiful art of "touchery"
Which usually crystallises to smooching
Reducing the value of "This New Necklace"

If it is a treasure, cover up
Why pay for it, when it is free?
They come in different shades and sizes
While the perfect sizes are about 45:55 with blazing pointers
Usually located on the upper ventral region
These new necklasses are golden kept sealed

The intention is to ****** the son of man
Tricksters bearing precious ornaments
Dis-oriented homebreakers and seeds of Jezebel
Even if it is not the standard areola size
Give yourself some value and cover up
Because all we see is a worthlessly-worthless  non-entity

Just that you know our truth
Under the spell of palmwine and chilled beers
We talk about your shapes and sizes
Even your ringtone we try to mimick
But we'll never talk about our precious jewel
The one who covered up to conjugality
It's never late to be right my dear
If you've got it, and it is a treasure, cover up...

Mr. Chief Tester
Madam Major distributor
Hear the word today
Flesh and blood didn't reveal this
As you grow and age gracefully
Happily married to yours
Let your Hubby be your hobby
And let your Wifey be your WiFi
Am I communicating?
This is the word of wisdom
A prescription for a happy home
Stop sharing free hotspot
Different network might log in
And corrupt your major file
That's why it is called a private
"You hear abi you no hear?"
Or should I increase the volume?

They said everything has a price;
But you are priceless
The Moon only glows at dawn
But your beauty is timeless
How come people age with age;
Yet you are this ageless!

If God created most beauties on a Sunday
Why were you carved on a Monday?
If you existed in the days of Samson
He would not have been entrapped by Delilah
When beauty meets brain
The distinction is academic

I might not have the dexterity of Beyonce
But I will sing you melodies from the heart
If I have only one chance to make it right
You'll be my ride or fly
Before mortal and immotal men I made this oath
That you my Love will be "My Last Everything"

The temple of Justice
House of Lords and judges
The hope of the common man
Is justice really justice?
Especially in Africa
Or it is for the highest bidder?

"If you no get money"
Your case is different
Your case lacks merit
Not enough evidence
I laugh in Chinese
Is there judicial independence in Africa?

Let me even ask
Where is the god of thunder?
Where is the god of iron?
That worked very well for us
With them, the guilty is rewarded with death
"Abeg", bring back our gods

All in support say "Hi"
No need to ask if you don't
We serve gods of instant judgement
That sanity may return to Africa
The "Hi's" have it
Court! All rise!

I can't breathe
I can't breathe from oppressions
Oppressions of slavery
How can I breathe from racism?
I can't breathe from the oppressions of corruption

I await when we'll become humans
When Black lives matters
When they'll feel my pain
Yours is a tragedy gone too far
Maybe after you, we can breathe
Did you really have to die, Floyd?

If there is a Judah in every twelve
Shall we blame the Judas?
Or institutions that protects racism?
How long shall we be quiet
And accept man's inhumanity to humans?

From the evil days of the world war
To traumatic military regimes
And then, demonstration of craze
Where is the justice, democracy?
What is wrong in being black?

You teared in the west
It echoed in the north
Vibrated in the south
And came down strong in the east
When your sun set at noonday
In like manner, the moon got darkened  

This scale is not balanced
The scale of justice and freedom
This is the world we live in
Where might equates right
When you sit and do nothing right
You are but an infinitesimal part of our problem

Where will the pendulum swing?
To be or not or be in a perverse world
When will our Moses use his rod
The rod of equality for all
Regardless of colour, race or tribe?

Bravo to word and pen artist word over
Defenders of the defenceless and justice ambassadors
I wish I could turn around time
When life really mattered
Including black lives
Only then can we truly breathe...

Mortal men in mortal prisms
Glory not in the demise of another
One day, you too shall pass
It is the only enemy of humans
Death.

If one dies, are we then immortal?
Only God knoweth the why?
Why not hope for a better ending
In place of musing over the transition of another
If death be good, can it be bequeathed?

Save for autopsy or the likes
When a muslim transits before asr
He can be prepared for final boarding
As long as it is not magrib
Otherwise, at dawn, that is sunnah
When we get to heaven
We'll know the true followers of "Eledumare"
To the deceased, "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un"

When a christian dies
Please, as admonihsed by the Messiah
"Leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
Whenever, however, their choice
A deceased may not be your hero
Does that confer you any title?
Say, a judge or jurry?

To be or not to be?
This is the exclusive reserve of the Uncreated Creator
May our leaders learn from this natural transition
That, called death...

We are all but sourjourners
From dust to dust shall we return
And when the time cometh
The book shall be opened
Whether to everlasting peace or contempt
You'll be judgrd by your works
Do right! Live right

But know it
When the righteous perisheth
It shall be into peace
For them who walk in righteousness
Their bed is laid in petals of gold
With the insignia: "Weldone good and faithful servant"

Oh Lord, heal our land
Let this be a reminder to us all
Life is a journey, walk it
Like had a terminus, live right
Only  remember, every soul shall taste death
When and where my friend
Only God knowest...

Finally, before you drop a line
If you wish to drop a line
Scroll through this with common sense
That which is not very common
For only the possessed
Glory in the death of another...

Her piety did not scare death
She lived ready, protecting our nation
Why are real heroes falling?
Indeed, "all other grounds are sinking sands"
From dust to dust you are laid today
Your body interned to mother earth
But your soul lingers till eternity

Thank you "Chukwu" for Tolulope
She came and made her mark
Wrote her name in our fabric as a nation
Soldiers never die, they translate
She has gone for a higher calling
She already resumed in heaven
Welcomed by Angels, sitted by her Creator

To our leaders in all spheres
Military burial for our hero past isn't enough
Bury all seed of nepotism
Tribalism, terrorism and banditory
My people, my state, let it go
Now, let it go I preach poetically!
We must be nationalistic in all things
If we hope to move forward as a nation

And you reading this piece
What shall men say when you depart?
What will be written on your epitaph?
What are you doing for your nation?
So we don't have to lie?
You only survive if all you think is your family?
Live and let live, that others may live
"My own, your own", please let it go

Good night our national hero Tolulope Aritile
Good might Nigeria's first helicopter pilot
Good night to a mentor to so many
Thank you "The Arotiles", God bless that womb
Thank you to the CDS, CAS, CNS, Presidency
Of a truth, no child is better than the other
At least, Tolu proved it with her daring acts
Following the path of least resistance.

I'll cling to my pillow all night long
Just to have a feel of you forever
I'll hang multiple mirrors around the house
If it will make me see your images everyday

You see that favourite perfume of yours
I'll buy it off all stores in the world
So I never have to forget how you smell
Your breathe, a breathe of fresh air

Your touch, magical yet mesmerizing
I try to fight it each time we hug
But that feeling seems everly hypnotizing
That I never want to let go
Can't you see I'm wired for you?

I'm in love with you my heartbeat
You take me higher and lighten my fire
And I can't wait to do life with you
Tell me, pinky secret, do you love me too?

They ride on celestial chariots
Belonging to "Class Untouchables"
They move with audacious swagger
So powerful, yet culpable
We all admited their courage and zest
But wait! If Naija is not a joke
How can a Parrot arrest the mighty Eagle?

The Eagle is quick to label
Especially when a match stick is missing
Now that the vault is desecrated
Where are the labels that shows it all
Crime, case connected to, and scene of crime?
This, surely, is a sacrilege

Let's see where this pendulum swings
That we play not judge, jury and executioner
If the Parrot can arrest the Eagle
And the hunter is becoming the hunted
Does it mean Elephants can fly in our Nation?
Or a victory for democracy?

We say no to hunger strike
Lest they play the ulcer card
And then apply for medical attention
Hunger strike, while some are held without trial
"Na here we go judge the matter"
Lesson learnt, none is greater than the law

Many a people fast compulsorily
Not because we are religious or spiritual
But for lack of what to eat
Yet you **** our economy with impunity
You have looted our looted funds
So, it's no more "Uhuru" as "Aluta continua"
And surely, "Victoria ascerta"

There is a time to be born
Then you suckle her succulent breast
Get a ride on her back
Like a mother Baboon to her Baby
This is a season of growth
We all passed through it

There is a time to crawl
A time to fall, stand and walk
Just like a new hen
In a new environment
With one leg at a time
She studies her environment
Then she begins to fly
Looks for trouble and says
"I will tell my Mummt for you"

There is a time to be schooled
Not just formally these days
To survive the current economic realities
You need skill based education
This, your sure bet to financial freedom
Afterall, "Who certificate help"

None can survive without "Mama thank you"
Without which you will be history
From the days of John the Baptist
We have been eating "Mama Thank You"
Our sweet Mother
Our comfort in times of war...

She fought many unseen battles
That you and I may live
She tolerated concubines and new wives
Even when father said her wine was stale
She even served them food
So that we will not be poisoned
"If you know you know"
Especially if you survived polygamy like me

What can we do without our mother?
A God in human form
She could have left the union
But what will people say?
"What will happen to her children?"
She weathered the storm
The tempest storms from family
Her love was pure agape
When was the last you told her "I love you?"

She sold fishes that you be educated
She believed in your ability to succeed
You were her greatest investment
Yet, she never stopped serving  you
And all you say is "Mama Thank You"
Do you know that thunder is real?
And she didn't take postinor
When you were conceived...

At Age thirty, you are still home
Struggling with her scarce resources
Competing for space with siblings
Still eating "Mama Thank You"
Of what value is your education?
Has it made you independent
Or a non-entity?

If our parents took loans
To finance our education
With you still eating "Mama Thank You"
After successfully completing NYSC
How can you pay them back?
Would it be okay to mortgage you
Just as a collateral
Afterall you spent the money

Wake up my friend!
This is not a poem
This is a clarion call to do right
Before you buy i-phone 12
Have you honoured your parents?
Before you pay your Girlfriend's house rent
Have you paid your parents'?

No one takes oranges
And takes the seed alongside
In your meagre earnings is a seed
And if you are not earning
After all your education
You are just a lazy youth
You still want to eat "Mama Thank You"
"Mama Thank You Kee You Dia"

This is a clarion call
Before you call your girlfriends
Or your Sugar "Zaddies"
Have a meeting with yourself
Have you been financially good to Mummy?
What about your Superman, your Daddy?
Do you even know their account number?
If you don't, make that call
And place them on monthly stipends

Sometimes in life
To unlock the golden door
That your heaven may open
You don't need fasting and prayers
You don't need prayers from spiritualist
All you need is to act right
Go back to your root
Honour the god that poured blood on you
Especially from your wallet

Little hinges swings great doors
Little drops makes mighty oceans
You mustn't engage in Yahoo plus
Or corporate "Olosho" in whatever guise
You too can play in the big leagues
If only you honour your parents
That it shall be well with you
That they too may say
"Thank You My Pikin"
You have been advised!

Should I credit the Romans
Believing we are opposite the Mediterranean
After the tribe of Berber
Somewhere around Tunisia
Then “Suna’ed” us Africa

Oh the land of fruit and corn!
How blessed thou art
The cradle of human civilization
Someday we shall ask the Phonecians
How two words: "friqi" and "pharika
Combined to make Africa

As they all jostled to take credit
Driven by the zest to unlearn, learn and relearn
“Na dem oh!” The Greeks, they chose “Aphrikē”
Because we are free from cold and horror
A summation of fify-four beautiful countries
So my dear, Africa ain’t no country
It’s a beautifully endowed continent

Theories can be rationalized
So, I beg to defer, “No be only Africus”
How can a Yemeni invade our continent?
And also get the bragging rights
I refuse to accept “Africa” is a Yemenite invader
“Hapana Sio kweli”

Whether from the explorers, westwards
Or the traders from India
Whoever conjured the name “Mother Africa”
Surely deserves some accolades
Your next vacation, destination Africa
Come my friend, come
You’ll be glad you did

Though rich, yet under-developed
Slowly but surely we have progressed
This, grossly under-reported by your media
We are a continent blessed with “All”
Don’t die until you experience our hospitality
Maybe, just maybe, together we can take a walk

Looking at the river banks
You see the beauty of Nature
Void of artificials
Pearls worth more than diamond
That's how i see you my Angel

A Gold fish has no hiding place
A priceless asset worth more than rubbies
The first gift she gave me was Grilled meat
That we call "Suya" in our part of the world
Thumbs up Unique tutorials!

She has a knack for knowledge
An untiring zest to better her tomorrows
While competing with herself
Her proficiency is remarkable
Like a Lioness pursuing a prey

For her, the sky is blue
She loves her blue skinny jean
With celestial white crop tops
Revealing not too much
She looks in admiration
Journeying across the world
Just the way she loves her movies
With white rice
Laced with locally fried pepper
From a local grinding stone
Don't ask me how i knew
She is a "Person Of Interest"

For a Masai
Every Cow is precious
For a Poet; every acquaintance is priceless
Fair like the descendants of Job
Witty like Queen Esther
With a perfect figure eight
You cannot but gaze twice

Having studied Psychology
The psychology of human relations
In the University of Creavity
Faculty of Feminism
Graduating with honours
I qualify to say these lines
"Omowunmi", you are an epitome of beauty

You are an archetype worth studying
That's why my project is about you
Being a project submitted to the MBA School
Hoping this gets me closer
A little beyond the lines
That as good friends
We may paddle our canoe
To a world of limitless possibilities
Where there are no bounds

Keep those natural smiles
Don't stop being you
Striving to outstrip your yesterdays
Even if i am faraway
I will be close by
Whispering in your ears
Terrific stuffs worth hearing

Don't go crazy for me
I'm in love with another
My heart, my everything
Belongs to my better half
Please, seek love northwards

Your pain in my heart
I know that feeling
You can't be the king of my jungle
Nor I the Queen of your empire
Like a royal, my path was set

Truth, "Oja okunkun ni igbeyawo"
But, I have chosen my path
We were but friends
I'm sorry if you fell in love
And this, a final goodbye

You turned the page
I burnt the book
No skin pain
Ahead, ahead!

You stopped the calls
I blocked your cell
Now you asked why
Why ask why?

Before you pull the plug
Think! Think and think
I knew your plans were devious
I just flowed with the flow

Again, before you fire fresh shots
Proceed with caution
For surely they will ricochet
And second chance is a luxury

My life, defined by lines
Class and boundary lines, Motherhood and tightrope lines
Between being a good woman and a Mistress
What a way to live!

Sometimes i want to toe the line
Other times I wish to  cross the line
Or maybe stay safe behind the lines
Those lines that guides virtues
Don't judge me, unless you have walked my walk

Sometimes I pole vaulted
When i allow them get closer
Even though they are married
Yes, I know the drill
I wanted to feel like a  woman

Don't see me as a loose canyon
Available and randy
You don't know my pain
If you know my pain
Maybe you'll understand my acts...

Like a prey laying low
They seem to easily perceive my needs
They come with those true lies
Enticing with Cars, Houses and cash
I just play ball...  

They offer ***
Because they know the pressures on my libido
...take advantage of my lonely and ***** moments

My lips they ride
Until it is as wide as the sea
Then, off they go!
To another lonely Single Mother
Will these men make heaven?

The cycle never breaks
Each time I cross that line
The joy is but for a moment
I head into a phase of depression
What a way of life

Afterwards, I become a ***** *** slave
A corporate *******
As I soon realise
And in the deadness of the night
Trust me, I tear...

It's about time this stops
I refuse to be a ****** alternative
I detest being a loose ball
Say NO to *** with a Married Man
Say no *** with benefits

Boldly I call off your bluff
Today, I ask you,  loose my number
Loose my house address
The One who gave me the child
Will always be on time. Amen!

You left me for another
"Oh! I should have married you!"
"Story for the gods"
I ain't letting you down there again
You have chosen your path

Live with your decisions
"Your can't eat your cake and have it"
It's not gonna be easy
Because I've got mouths to feed
But I'll pass

Those lonely nights will come
When I'll need a wrap
Just like a married but single lady
Husband based abroad
"Cars" parked at owner's risk?
Those need has to be met, but I'll survive

Even when I need to pay school fees
The solution is not on genitals
Especially of the married
Truth be told
The solution lies with the Ultimate One

Trust and believe Him
He will change your story
Turn your secret tears to cheers
Convert your shame to fame
Because He turns non-entities to celebrities

Whoever taught Rehab, a harlot, liar
Would ever make the list
She enjoyed grace
That grace is still available today
Only if you will...

Give Him a chance
Let Him make you a showpiece
He brought you this far for a purpose
He gave you that child for a reason
Tell me, whose report will you belief?

Please stop these men
They will ruin your life
Wake up and brace up
Look out for a weak single mother
Preach the good news of hope

Look out for single mothers
Share a date, a word
Bond, love, pray and believe
To hell with all these "Zaddys" with benefits"
Yours will soon find you!

Curved ***** will be thrown
Take advantage of life's curve *****
Allow them to transform you
To a very pretty and attractive LIONESS
Whose **** and lips aren't for sale

Enough of irresponsible ****** adventures
Yes! They will come looking for your juice as a  Single Mother
Be a Lioness,  
Fierce, firm and courteous

Are you married? Congratulations
Don't make him regret getting married to you
If you treat him wrong
There are many open arms out there
They will accept and love him scatter

To all those "Wobe Children"
Sleeping with their ancestors
Breaking marriages and homes
Karma is a *****, your time will come
May you be paid in the same coin
Please say "Amen!

Be his *****
Let him be your tool
Exude flirtatious energy for him
Rock those seductive *** shots
Date him all the days of your life.

You were a Queen ab initio
Now, you tie wrapper like my grandmother
Be wise as a serpent
Be like the sons of Isachaar
Times and seasons have changed

Now, get off your high horse
Show that man why he married you
Before they show him all
Why he shouldn't be with you
Like Stella, get your groove back on

Single motherhood is not a curse
Nobody has a right to you
Do not debase yourself
Give yourself some respect
Let's all prove to the world
Single mothers raise Presidents like Obama too

A good man gives without asking
He will never ask you for ***
Even when you offer, he declines
Not all men are promiscuous
Now, this rule applies to both sexes
There are still good people out there

Who wants to hire inexperience
We all love "experience hire"
So, single mothers have experience
Single mothers make good wives
After all, experience is key

To all single Mommas out there!
This is specially for you
You are better than they think
To a life of "Yes I do"
And "Happily ever after"
Please raise your glass!
Cheers!

My light, my shining armour
My joy, the king of my jungle
In whose hands I burn like fire
My "Numero uno" Alpha Male
"Guy, I love you scatter"
"You see all these package, na you get am"
"No shelempa for you"

You turned me on, got me confused
Then you slowly pulled back and watched me
As I fell from the skies into your broad arms
Deliberately I delayed the kiss I earnestly yearned for
Because I wanted you to be my last everything
You sure didn't disappoint Sugar

My smootchie smootchie cutie pie
My Tarzan with whom I always feel secured
Our love cannot be separated by distance nor time
Neighte can race, tribe or religion stop our union
Because when I found you, I found me
I love you honey bunny, Kitty Cat

I caught the love bug when we first met
I'll tell the world about my Braveheart
My Merlin, My Super Hero and Tarzan
I bless you with the blessings of the breast
In blessings, you will be blessed and favoured
With me in your boat, it shall be liftings and testimonies galore

When I fall, I fall and love "yakata"
Just press my "Mumu button" and I'm yours
But you've got to do the needful My Love
Oh! How they mocked and laughed
And while they mocked I prayed like Hannah
Just one second to my shame You "Agbanilagbatan" showed up

My creamy yummy, milky shaky
My melting mozzarella and "tasansan tantalizers"
My king, my world, my everything
Forever I'll be your "Odozi-Oriaku"
Your one and only  "Asa Nwa", the  mother of your unborn children
I bless heavens the day our paths crossed
Becauss of a truth, "Chimamanda"

The intention is not to unclad you
With words so soothingly ******
But if I may, as a boy Scout
Whose honour it is to do good
At least one good in a day, Scouts honour

Allow me, just this once to do this
For there is a spider in your bra
May I?
Did I just undress you poetically?
I'm sorry, that's how Poets roll!
Sometimes with obscene words
That just makes you drip...

Wake up!
Why wear a ring for years
He knows what he knows
Be wise my Lady, be wise
With the ring, you're tied

Wearing engagement rings
When it exceeds one year
Are you the lord of the ring?
Or the ring keeper
Take my world, "Na scam"

Don't be a prisoner to one
When you are desired by another
To have and to hold
For better for best
Except you are a professional ring bearer

If it exceeds one year
And he hasn't take you to Mama
You are on lockdown
And would soon be isolated
That's what it is "Nwayi Obioma"

Don't be a prisoner of love
Search your heart and inquire
Is this really what you want?
If you have been ringmatized
And don't be a "Shediot"

If he is not saying a thing
You are somewhat in captivity
In a prison of another's creation
Be wise, be smart
He could be a gamer

I am justice
Blind to colour
Blind to race
Blind to tribe
I play it right

Before me;
All men are equal
Before me;
Might is not right
Right is right

Before you act; think
Before you talk, filter
If you do the crime
Trust me, you'll do the time
For my gavel will I bang

A Letter To My Younger Self

Today is a present
Yesterday is past
But tomorrow is a gift
I wish I still had yesterday
Now, I wallow in regrets

I wish made more mistakes
Learnt new lessons
Took more risks
Dated more girls
I wished interacted more

As I ponder over yesterday
I wished I read more books
Rich Dad Poor Dad
The Richest Man In Babylon
48 Laws Of Power
The the Holy Books More

My greatest regrets
Lays in the dreams unfulfilled
Trips not taken
Skills unlearnt
Studying a course I don't need
Allowing people control my life

If you could write a letter
To your younger self
What would yours be?
Is it filled with "Had I known?"
Or sweet loving memories
Did you just smile...?

When I was a kid
I dreamt on becoming
The trees stood as witnesses
The pigeon gave dotted white nails
A seal of assurance of tomorrow
A tomorrow, now yesterday

I wish I trusted my instincts
Learnt how to cook
Travelled around the world
Sang more country songs
Even if it isn't as common anylonger
I wished I kept my virginity

This is a letter to my younger self
Now, I am left with memories
Can I take back yesterday?
I wished I listened to my parents
I wished I got married earlier
I wished I never was a hermit

As I walk through memories
My course is set
My boat sailed yesterday
Armed with hope and faith
I believe, therefore I will
Afterall, tomorrow is a gift

Like an obsessed peripatetic
I have traversed the soils of Africa
From the serenity of Obafemi Awolowo University
To a stint in University de Abomey Calavi
And now to Nigeria's University of first choice
I have never seen a people so confused

Who calls off a wedding on a wedding night?
Imagine getting off before you get off
For a well rehearsed match long waited
Why play Deputy Jesus like an immortal?
When men play God, the result is calamitous

Agog, ready to get tipsy and engaged
We had the gowns, laced with a scroll
An insignia of our academic story
Like a bride we already fitted our gowns
The stage was set but you blackened the sun
Don't worry, your time will come

Congratulations my esteemed mates
You already blazed the trail
At first it seemed impossible
Until we did it...Weldone
Now your name is cast in gold
Although we are in the blues
But our ship already berthed
Congratulations!

They have a mouth with sharp teeths
When opportunity presents itself
They tear you like a Sea Lion
When they open their mouths
Therefrom comes blessings and curses
You chose what you get
Don't say I didn't warn you

They have intimidating personas
They are soft touch, yet so powerful
They are extra ordinary species
Crafted by the greatest Porter
From the best of clays ever moulded
My best advise to you, by all means is:
Don't cross their path, things can change very fast

If you say they are weaker vessels
Why do they dominate the management airspace?
Countries managed by them scored A+ in Covid management
They are fast gaining economic powers
They just need to understand how to use this power
So as to maximise their potentials

I would rather stoop to conquer
Allign with them to un-learn, learn and re-learn
That I may learn wisdom of the ages
And **** from their breast of knowledge
The milk of wisdom, knowledge and patience

They are enigmas with unpredictable odysseys
Great connoisseurs in matters of rare importance
Yet when she says "I'll show you..."
You are doomed already; seek peace at all cost
But behind their veiled expressions, a heart of gold
When you meet a pantheon of them, they are deities
Seek blessings, espexially as you plant your head "between their betweens"

It is for a reason that David fell for their charm
Samson lost his ministry to a Delilah
Solomon understood this with 700 concubines
If you listen beyond your over-bloated ego
You will understand why we are the head
And they are the neck, that controls the head
Be wise, change your narratives and stop the stereotypes

You came into my life
And wipped away my tears
For your glory always overshadows weaknesses
Baby, I am not scared to do this
You are the one; the special one...

I believe in your Smiles that melts a rock
You are the one I have been waiting for
Somewhere along the line, I lost love
Just when I was about giving up, love found me
This makes me believe in miracles

There is a Queen for every King
And a King for every Queen
If every King needs a Prophet
Every General needs a Lieutenant
Then every soul needs a soulmate
That's why I prayed you in...

Dem say we no go blow
With the line of thought wey we dey tow
Where dem dey when water we dey flow?
Come enter Coconut on the low

Sometimes alarm dey tear
But my brother, make you no fear
If you believe and throway every despair
"Oluwa" go turn your hussle to flair

You fit dey push barrow or do barber today
People go soon gather to celebrate you one day
If it no be like a weekday
But na sure bet say na someday

We fit no look like am today
Dangote start with sweet for him day
Don Jazzy do security for the way
And all of dem don blow today

Kpomkpi, las las we go dey alright
Just make sure say you hussle right
One day you sef go blow enter flight
Come join the billionaires dey alright

But when you don reach your prime
No forget say you too first do the time
Before everything come start to rhyme
Make you show love to your goons for flexitime
Na by like that you go take sustain am for lifetime

Mr. Lecturer once said
Just one night, you won't fail
You wearing Rasta hair,
This question is for you
Have you bought my handout?
It is not compulsory, but...
Which textbook am I teaching you from?

By all means avoid carryovers
It is worse than heartbreak
Know what works for you
Like a Lion, seperate yourself
But "A" is for the ancestors
"B" is for the serious students
"C" is for everyone, "Awon saddists"

Rome wasn't built in a day
You musn't graduate in four
You can spend six for four
Just take your time
Government will still pay me
Stop and ponder my friend
Is education still the key to success?

Don't be discouraged
I know a few good ones
Not all the prophets in Egypt
Bowed to the Eyptian god, Baal
Arm yourself with skill based education
And the world will look for you
Don't say I didn't tell you

I could go to jail for you
Break banks for you
All you need is just ask
Because without you
There isn't me

You were an answered prayer
The solution to my secret tears
You gave my life a meaning
You; the oxygen that I breathe
Now i know love truly exist

We dreamt and made vows
Everyone wanted to be "Us"
Before angels we made promises
Witnessed by Venus
The god of love

You were the sun that lightened my world
The moon that brightened my day
As a star, you illuminated my heart
You, my one and only "Mumu Button"

With you, I need no validation
You never looked at my past
To create our glorious future
Once, I was asked to define unconditional love
I smiled, and just looked at you...

Dear Allah
Accept our ibadah
We receive grace to remain pious
In this month of Ramadan
Roll away the plagues
And let our Iman speak

Dear Allah
The beneficent, the merciful
Open the eyes of our soul
To see the "Why" of the season
Teach us to be grateful always
Even in the face of a pandemic

Dear Allah
Hold us aloft in Your hands
Lest we fall and crash
With this pandemic
You built your holy temples;
In our human heart beyond walls
And amplified the need for family

Though we strayed from you
But the sight of the moon gave us hope
That our prayers are answered
If you could hang it in the skies
Without droplets or pillars
Is there anything too hard for YOU?

Dear Allah
The Creator of the Universe
Of all the elements you created
We have been most ungrateful
Even in our unfauthfullness
Accept my prayers and forgive our sins
Please roll over this one too
That we live in peace and harmony

We join our brothers and sisters alike
Worshipping you in holy temples
In different cities, faith and culture
To say chain the jinns of Corrona
That they refrain from their torments
By our fast we have obtained "Taqwa"
And we know YOU answer prayers

All outer deeds are solely ours
But Rammadan is for YOU
And YOU romised rewards to faithfuls
We ask not for riches nor gold
Silver, diamond nor precious ornaments
All that we can ever ask now
By virtue of the month of Ramadan
Please take us back to yesterday...
Happy Ed el Fitri.

"Aje a wa o!"
"E o ni shorti oh!"
Just tell this to Maami
In the dawn of a morning
On a typical market day
And she'll pour you the best
Straight from the breast

You need not be "Omoluabi"
One of the descendants of Oduduwa
As I have just shown you an inlet
Into a crest full of treasures
Accessible by your attitude
Which determines your altitude

Where character will take you
Character will stop you
When you are in Rome
You "Rankadede", as a norm
Let my people be your people
And let peace rain

Forget not my friend
In the land of "Karo e o ji re bi"
Honour, respect begets blessings
Even if we are deemed cunning and deceitful
In the tongues of Maami lies "Ase"
So, the next time you visit our marker square
Remember the pass code
"Aje a wa oh!"

He grabbed his mother
From behind, by her waistline
She turned and looked at him
Lustfully he said, "You look beautiful Mum"
She huged him, planted a forehead kiss

He grabbed his sister
Exactly the way he did his Mum
She turned, spanked him
Their mother rebuked her
Heavens fell on her that day

He grabbed his teacher
You've got nice curves "He said"
Bewildered, confused, she slapped him
She was laid off, "He is just a kid"
The exact words of the Proprietress

Now, he grabbed a stranger
She didn't look at his age
She grabbed him back
Deposited him at the station
He will be sent to the Juvenile
He did the crime, he'll do the time
Tell me, who is to blame?

Go to school
Get knowledge and skills
Start a job
Get retired, fired or resign

The undecided gets retired
Under-performers get fired
Visionaries gets to resign
And live a live

I am tired across Africa
Bunch of educated employees
Taking the bribe of salary
To forfeit a glorious future

We struggle with MDG's
While others advance sustainability
No thanks to clueless leaders
Who sold our future to uncertainty

Imagine JP Morgan trapped by salary
Rockfeller hustling in a car shop
Dangote in a ministry
Great empires would never be born

Economies are propelled by entrepreneurs
Anchored on good policies
Championed by responsive governments
That we lack in our great continent

Wake up Africa
Wake up Africans
How long will you be limited
For fear of failure

Failure is a recipe
A recipe for success
For those who are tenacious
Desirous to making a mark

Choose to be an employee for life
It's your choice!
Wait for pension that is elusive
Do well to write your will
Just if you transit before it is processed

Did you just get fired?
Congratulations my friend
You are returning with a bang
To buy off that company

Oh ye intellectuals
Stop telling me education equates success
Add some skills to that curriculum
That i may be rounded and grounded
To hit the ground running at graduation

Every balloon can fly my friend
Even without formal education
All it requires is some encouragement
From a good heart that cares

Billionaires unschooled abound
Not all sports stars made college
If you end up a non-entity
It is your fault and yours alone

That Daddy helped Uncle is old gist
It's not a guarantee Uncle will come by
Stop having entitlement mentality
Real success comes from within

Don't tell me about your certificates
Certificates that cannot create wealth
Tell me about the problems you discovered
That you are willing, able and ready to solve

Maybe someday
You will be rewarded with a plague
After thirty five years of service
Service without self actualization
Save you are a career employee

The next time you talk about curriculum
Do well to live in the realities of today
To effect the change truly desired
That generations after us might live
And not survive as we are now

I could go on and on ranting
But the future looks bleak
For those who cannot think
This make me so tired
Tired across Africa

I don't know
But I want to know
If you do know
Why don't I know
Is the knowing exclusive?
Knowledge ls power
What worked in the Industrial age
Might not work in the technology age
But if you don't know
How will you know?

Ask relevant questions
That you may know better
Then, you will be illuminated
Because knowledge beautifies
But it is in the knowing
Therefore seek to know
Knowledge is power
Those that knows
Are seated in high places
That's where we are right now

Know the basics
Apply the principles
Practice the "Known"
And let the knowledge pay
In your primary school, you learn principles
In your secondary school,you learn practice
In your university, you learnmanagement
And in reality, you face lifematics
Arm yourself with the latest
I will see you at the top!

I am a fine piece of armour
Curated by the finest Goldsmith
Who created the heavens without pillars
And the earth without walls

I am a fine piece of art
Moulded by the greatest Porter
The One who knew me before my before
And ordained me exploits

Of over six billion inhabiting planet earth
You singled me our for glory
As a trailblazer and world shaker
May I not disappoint destiny

I might be in my raw state now
HE is preparing me at the backstage
Soon my cloud will open
And my rain will fall
Amen

Time is a commodity
Short in supply
I can't wait anylonger
That's why I want to worship
In your sacred altar
But where do I start from?

The road looks narrow
As I journey through the aisle
Marching towards the prize
That we may mingle and rumble
In an atmosphere of bliss
Worshiping in harmony

You smiled back saying
If you really want to worship
Put a ring on it
That I be yours and you be mine
A risk I am willing to take
Till death do us part

If that's all it takes
I will travel all the way
Walk through the seven seas
For in you, I find me
The bone of my bone
Put a ring on it
That we may workship forever
And happily ever after

When I was weak
Vulnerable and helpless
Instead of being a rung
You became an instrument
An incarnate of the devil
You abused me...

Instead of being a god
A mentor i can look up to
As much as I respected you
You bullied me
Stole my pride and confidence
I was down and out

I almost quit school
I was afraid to speak
For the fear of you
You caged my destiny
You and your unholy allies
Thank God I didn't join a rival gang

For years I suffered
I was broken emotionally
I died before I died
I almost took the only option
At least I will be free from all
Until I saw a light

Years after I look back
You ended up a non-entity
You didn't make it to the top
You and yours are now history
You threw stones at me
With them, I built a fortress

It's easy to forgive you
Even as you almost took my life
But I got the conviction
You were only reacting
Because I was better than you all
You all but me knew it, didn't you?

I discovered the me in me
You were an instrument
That the enemy chose
To derail my glorious destiny
But God had a plan
He allowed it for a purpose

You attacked my destiny
Because I am ahead of you
That is how God programmed it
Whom HE has blessed
Not even you can curse
So, like my Father, I forgive you

I pray you find peace
Repent of all your atrocities
That you may lead a good life
And raise a good home
And inspire your world
Just ask, HE will forgive

Are you worried or challenged?
Are you a subject of mockery or gossip?
Have you been slandered and maligned
Don't worry, HE is taking you somewhere
Just be calm, watch and pray
The One that created sleep never sleeps

I am glad I passed through them
Lifes challenges and fire
The brimestones and cruelties
But I survived them all
Because I have a vision
And my mission is clearlydefined

To all going through hell
Keep going! You will triumph
Don't pray away challenges
Ask for the grace to surmount
No student gets promoted without exams
Am I loud enough!

While you keep on
Beware of destiny killers
They come as unfriendly friends
They are visible in family
Worse in religious houses
Basking in the altar of hypocrisy

I am a survivor
I won by keeping my focus
I believe in your ability to triumph
Please don't let you down
I will see you at the top
The rightful place of giants

Listen, the world is muffled
My legs, numb with cold
Grief, anger envelops us
So, it is sadly true
We all know our date of birth
No one knows their date of death
How do you say "Goodnight"
When morning dawns
The world is still in jolted

Why, death why?
Why do bad things happen to the good
And good things happen to the bad
Someone please tell me why?
You have touched our soul
With so many moves
Written your name in our hearts
The basketball world tears for you and yours

My sockets, teary
My face, blurry
My life, you were my coach
You mentored me from afar
I share your drive and enthusiasm
And that it took Gianna
What a tragedy
A loss to the world

If you lived in Africa
We would ask questions
Who felled our Iroko tree?
Who set your sun at noonday?
Who was afraid of your shine?
We would have invoked our gods
But we can't ask questions
God knoweth...

Death surely comes
The only ineluctable enemy of humans
It will come when it will come
Prepare your house, write a will
Live a day at a time
It seems far, yet close
Start living, stop surviving
Start building legacies, not wealth

With 8 all-star selections,
An MVP award with 33,643 points
Already, you made 20 seasons
Inspired our generation
Your stardom cuts accross galaxies
I just want to look into the sky
The abode of our forefathers
And see you shine down on us

There are no words to express my pain
You are a legend
You live forever in our hearts Black Mamba
Gianna, the road stops here
Heaven is a continuance
We will remember you forever
Goodnight Kobe...Good night Gianna!

Welcome to the future
We are the millenials
In search of greener pastures
They abandon our virile sistos
Who didn't sign any oath of celibacy
Aren't they parking their cars at owners' risk?

They have high libidos
With memerizing lyrical contents
They undress your softwares
And hibernate in their holy temple
Helping you clean your playhead
While you journey around like "Ajala"

Is it food? Yes, it is
Without which we are incomplete
When your better half craves intimacy
And finds solace in the hands of a jobless dude
The result, a cracking fireworks
Stop destroring your homes

I just hope yours is yours
For their mind is deeply deep
Before you sue for DNA
Where did the crack emanate from?
Have a meeting with yourself
And stop parking at owners risk

Even Animals defend their territories
They mark them by being the King
Are you the King of your clan?
A woman has ****** needs
And these needs should be met
Don't **** the fire in that Damsel
For you, she gave up her everything
Her life...

I watched the cut
Blood flowed freely
In a tiny muffled voice
I tried to protest
But they overcame
With the blade, razor sharp

I cried and wriggled
As pain enveloped me
In my pain they merried
Singing in discordant tunes
Seeing beauty in my tragedy
My factory settings they distorted

How could i have given consent?
As a child, I couldn't
I was helplessly helpless
Like a thief i was restrained
Until you took a part of me
Can I ever forgive you?

Promiscuity is a choice
Same for virginity
It has no relation;
With cutting my nerve ends
My sensitive genital tissue
Lend a voice, stop the act

In my world of ecstasy
I get decreased satisfaction
With low self-esteem
All thanks to you
By playing God
In the name if tradition

Stop Female Genital Mutilation
It's a violation of right
The world is against it
If the All-Knowing curated me
In HIS image and likeness
And said I am "Made whole"
It means I was born perfect

You are not a mother
Yet you mock a mother
Who chose motherhood
Instead of being a muderer
Please give it up for mothers

If you are not a mother
You don't know the pains of motherhood
With her memories of childhood
She is our Queen of the hood

You mock a mother
Yet you committed several murders
When you chose abortion
Who do you think you are
You are just but a murderer
