HEARD ABOUT ESE?

Image
Have you heard about Ese?  Golden black Ese as we used to call her.  Her skin so beautiful that most people called her the goddess of the black race.  She went to papa Ijebu, who mixed pepper with lemon water, he added a little bit of carol white and a pinch of something which name, I can't recall. Suddenly the black in her skin vanished like magic, she was now "African snow white"  and she reigned in her head and her new found skin.  Ese was walking on the air, almost like her new skin gave her super powers.  Awhile later, there were cracks, itches,scratches and peelings... Her body was at war with itself.  Ese's skin changed colors more rapidly than a chameleon, no one could keep up. Then came the decay that went from her skin deep inside of her and in a flash, she was gone.   Ese died trying to be who she wasn't, she was so dissatisfied with being black in a black skin and I wonder why, what is so wrong with being black?

LOVE EVEN IN PAINS

  Over a year now I have had to be around the hospital and a lot of sick people. Trust me it was for reasons beyond my control and desire.

How much they genuinely cared for the other person's needs and worried about their welfare.  How does one find the heart to love an imperfect person in a bad condition, In spite of themselves?  Whether you are sick or just there to take care of a sick person,the love moved round. It really does go round.  Countless times while I was there at the hospital I saw these people (me included) team up to put a nurse in her place for treating any patient poorly (as common with most nurses who I think just love the unifo

Sucker for Love

Image
Sucker for love is something I wrote because I couldn'tsleep 🤦🤦 and also something I have had to learn about humans just by watching my twin nephews and a niece live their lives.  My nephews are twins and six. They have a Younger sister age four,her name is Fortress. Everytime they are together there is always something to fight, argue,laugh and simply scream about. I watched the twins constantly team up to bully and argue with their younger sister. And they would use words like " lets not play with her ooo" "we will not build one of those ships for her" "if she comes near us let's just ignore her so that she will know that we are the boss" (I still wonder how they came to that conclusion) or one convincing the other with a statement like " You know you are my twin oo don't play with that small girl Fortress, she is trying me" and anything this happens she never gets in a fight with both her brothers. She fights with one and that on
