Aisha!
Aisha! I refuse to believe that I am ripe for his need, My physique and mind are too fragile for his seed, I detest the bandwagon of this odious tradition, I share not the culture of an ominous tribulation I reject the belief held by your religious creed To our consummation, I refuse to concede My plant is unripe and unsavoury to his taste This questionable tradition I view with distaste I am Aisha the defiant, positive deviant Check me out and you'll find that I'm a teen My voice will s...
The Pastor's Son (1)
The Pastor's Son. (1) 'Dad, guess what? I have been appointed the substantive Pastor of our Parish' 'That's wonderful, I'm happy to hear that. I pray that Lord God will grant you the victory'. By the way what happened to the former Pastor?' "He was promoted and transferred to the regional headquarters'. 'Congratulations son. I can see that you are happy' 'Sure Dad, I can't wait to take over. I'm just elated. I need your prayers and support'. 'You don't need to worry about that. You'...

Wisdom from the Words of our Elders
*Wisdom from the words of our Elders* *'Ìwà rere l'èsó Ènìyàn'* . Literally translated ' Good character is the adornment of man'. The Yorubas, of Western Nigeria, use character to define a person, whatever his standing. A man of good character is held in high esteem. And to them, whatever a person claims to be, however skilful at work he is, if he lacks character, his profession or skill is vain. 'Iwa l'ewa'. 'Character determines beauty'. It is as much as to say one's beaut...

Karma is a Witch
He woke up with a start, sweating. His heart was beating like the noise of a malfunctioning engine. A dream or a hypnosis, could it have been his ghost? Could it have been his imagination, the sound, or is it his host? He sprang up from the bed. Again, the sound was familiar, disturbing. Sure, it's the strange being again, this time troubling. Something glided past the window; it looked real. Could it be him, or were they up to a dozen? A cold sweat ran down his spine, as he stood frozen ...

I'm on the other side
Sorry Shylocks, You are a bit late I can't meet up with your date I'm on the other side Hovering above the hillside Pound my flesh and take your pounds Enlarge my cold, naked, fresh wounds, Extract your penny from my blood, Let it flow like a flood Chop off my limbs and make up your debts But know that the spirit watches with a devastating strain Free but bruised by an earthly stain Conscious of acts attracting divine frown Waiting for the time your fruit is fully grown Poised ...
Come back Home
*Come back Home* Come back home o wandering daughter Come to the embrace of your waiting father Come to the opened arms of your loving mother The home where you had joy without vendetta The world outside is cold and spiting Full of wolves ravening and serpents biting Filled with desperate folks who look inviting But whose hearts are depraved with all manners desecrating He has created you with a painstaking precision Modelled to His image with delicate additions With an appearance that d...
