Madame Vai  Jan 2017
Agur
Madame Vai Jan 2017
Like a lover's caress,
Her breath carried with it the weight in which toppled my world.
My heart shattered into a thousand pieces as she laid plans for a new destination outside my existence.
For where she wandered, I could not go.
I knew that day the pain of life and longing
would follow me into the brightest places of my journey.
But I weep not for the loss in which I have sustained, but rejoice;
For a love who's depth could rival the ocean
Has kissed my soul while I walked consciously upon the earth

AGUR.
Dada Olowo Eyo Jul 2019
The beast taketh were it hath not tilleth,
And by force establishes his colonies,
He set his eyes on southern territories,
And will drink and bathe in the bloods of dogs and baboons that he killeth.
It seems a calculated ploy to  recolonise southern parts of Nigeria with foreign elements takes on adaptive colorations as the agenda takes on several different identities. The latest is Rugs. SHAME.
