The lady in Tech
A hero to check
She leads with zeal
A force to reveal

The lady in Tech
A sash on her neck
A victory sash
Bringing the cash

In the silence of the day and night
The hands of the clock
Tick and tock
In the busyness of time
You can tick it Tocking
It stops TOCKING to you when you are not listening

A hero gone
That was born
A leader lost
That was found
Sweet honey in a calabash
Fresh wine in a gourd
And a raindrop in the ocean
That was not lost
A ray in the sun
Shining across the globe
You stained your white garments
To save your motherland
You tore your green apparel
To defend the course of freedom

You remain a woven nest upon the maple branch
Eagles, doves, and many more
Found refuge in your reign
Fond memories of you still linger on
Happy days of laughter somewhat covered the mourn
The sun will rise and set unend
So shall you remain in hearts forever

When WE both stood
In front of the MIRROR
And beheld our faces THEREIN
I realised the only part
Of the mirror that BREAKS NOT
Is true LOVE

I heard the
news
that google died
quickly googled
to find the
truth

He came forth wrapped in gorgeous beauty
Two and zero and two and zero
Mesmerizing twos and hopeful zeros
Bearing gifts and visions of platinum and gold
Unknown to the world he had conceived three
Hope, faith, and a poisonous third
Super deadly like black bullets in a barrel
Coercing and bullying innocent hearts
It seized a zero in the blessed year
And covered itself in thorny spikes
A beauty in the lab and a monster to man
A stubborn inedible protein on earth
Forcing its way down anhydrous throats
And winding way up the wide nose tunnels
It announced its coming from the farthest east
With no vivid clue it could cross a border
It walked, jumped, and open gates
Broke fortresses and sacred citadels
Marching on like an unstoppable King
Crippling royals and murdering claws
As deadly as hurricanes and mighty tremors
It emptied streets not a soul in sight
Pelicans and parrots covered the sky
Tigers and tortoises owned asphalt
And whales and walruses had a peaceful swim

A new order of brotherly love beckoned
Friends of covid were alien to friends
And complete distancing the newest amour
Hugs and kisses looked gross as evil
The friendly salutations were fast forgotten
Coughs and sneezes were weapons of death
Deadly weapons of mass massacre
Did the pandemic register horror alone?
Shall we reminisce only of the black?
Nay! The other side of the coin remains
Evident as the cloud that covered the view
In the midst of the live tumultuous chaos
A white dove warbled a song of hope
A white flag signaled the newest dawn
The retina of nations opened widest
Streams and rivers danced in the dessert
Winter shone bright and hot as the sun
And stones became the king’s edible
Inventions never ceased in America
And innovations flooded the soils of Africa
Is this the awakening forefathers chanted?
Should we be ecstatic of the brand new day?
What shall be said of the leader today?
Did he see the summer snow?

In an abusive relationship?
You got legs?
Run!
You got no legs?
VANISH!

And when you have squeezed their breath
And emptied their land
When blood becomes a voice
And sculls a shaky falsetto
What remains
Rubbles
That speak to say
Where art thy subject

When the delay widens the pit
And more souls disperse
A clear heart
Is the final victor
Yet
Lost souls
Lost empire

Win before you start
Ride on the tentacles of faith
And carry thyself to the place of victory
Give yourself no chance to lose
Compete with none
Start from one
And count the stars that brighten the journey
Knowing well that you already won

The essence
Of woman empowerment
Should not be to equip her
To compete or reach
The status of a man

It is bringing her
To the point
Where her works
Are impacting and noticeable
And ultimately
Being able to impart knowledge
To the next generation of females

Give me a pen without an ink
My words will still flow
They will pour out without a blink
By this I'll still grow

You go to bed and dread tomorrow

And pray to God to save your soul

The night is short you wish is long

You stay awake in the silent night

The morning routine is like a mountain to carry

There’s no appetite for milk and honey

Finally you hit the tired road

And wish the traffic will never end

At least to see more trees forever

In no time the longest journey is over

You stand silently near the office door

With copious vacuum occupying your thoughts

Your fingers reach for the tired door ****

Its gentle screech is the loudest volcano

In your ears alone it erupts with a bang

Carving more mountains and pointed hills

The day begins and never ends

It ends but feels like it just began

Your greatest fears are those of tomorrow

To wake up again and return there

A4 Sheets look like giants slaughter tables

Ballpoint pens pierce the air like a sword

Rulers remind you of the riders Cain

And files pile up like judgment papers

Your day runs wild like war in Wakanda

You barely have an air to breathe

Boss on your neck, he demands a hundred

One mistake is seen as the worst ******

And your achievements are never given a medal

Adding oxygen to your flaming heart

The day finally ends yet sorrow prevails

With thoughts of tomorrow clouding your brain



I know a friend who works in the sky

With thousands of angels surrounding his desk

You cannot be me
Copy my smile, talk, and walk
Mimic my true posture and gesture
Walk in my full naked footprints
But one still remains
Me
