ON PAIN

-

 

What is your pain? Is it when you hit a part on something or your tooth beckons for a repair? Is pain something hidden in the pillars of the heart or an open sore? Perhaps, is it how you feel when you see the homeless or your reaction to that clown cloned by his own ignorance?

Will you feel a sting when a stranger suddenly strangles you for utilizing your left hand or when your eyes envy you? How about memories that end at the back of the mirror or the luxury of a missing coin?

Or about a mischievous theory that locked us home for an endless time and the uncertainty of living that it births?

Did you hear about Kina who ended herself because of faraway cares or 

about

Enitan, who, to breathe well killed his family?

Is it how an addiction enchants and cunningly lures you till it dives and dines into your veins?

How about life shifts and circles, how do you behold that?

 "The world is a garden of thorns - some of thorns, some of flowers." The world is a domain of choice.  For you to choose between thorns and flowers. The feeling of feel and life.

Of silences in lullabies. and of living for this day and more.  Happy International Poetry Day.

What is humanity without lensed levity. At times, we watch them tainting us with their cheats and shitty shits. They are humble in their callosity. In expressed generosity, they step on our already tattered life, leaving us to cuddle more slums.  What has become of my nation that was birthed from a fruitful juice, bathed in the foundation of our satisfied ancestors. Now, it is being washed with the infidel hands of the unfaithful son of fathers. What is life filled with the only glory of existing? For a while, the organism, like a blur to humanity, until beings became a subjected prey to their creations. We all wake up one day to hear a news, "quarantine, no more work, no movement", no vibes to live. A general decision fo

The Trail Trails

-
What is your own pain? Is it pain itself? or its triggers? My society is that of bountiful desires and pinned expectations. Pressure rests on the Young like a bomb, veils their reasoning with societal blindness captures hearts with fears and breathes into existence with nothingness "I will come back." such blissful promise and hope from the young lad. Like a robust cloud, we all waited and waited but the august visitor cut him down shattered hearts and totality on an innocent day. Then the trail trails... to prick another young.
