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?

Her only inheritance was her pretty sorrowful smile, that made her the richest poor thing around. She lived in rags handed to her by her keepers. Keepers that led her to an unwanted rest in a six-feet castle of gold, decorated with many flowers than she ever needed. What a love !!! They over fed her, till her stomach groaned from emptiness. They where the proud inventors of her laughter that came with painful tears. Tears that she drank from until her thirst was quenched.  She sang of the good deeds they did, to hurt her whole being. They dressed her in a beautiful transparent gown, before the hungry eyes of onlookers and her cry was a melody to their ears. The rare times when pleasure meets pain.  Now that their lovely hands have taken her breath away, she is dressed in a beautiful  expensive gown, picked out by her keepers. They

WAKE ME UP

                         WAKE ME UP I stand watching these evil angels imprison the fate of the innocent people  They blew up a thousand lives with one "boom" sound, thousands turned millions in a wink. They cruelly sent bullets to the chests of these unarmed people, like they were injections curing them from a disease and with a million helpless screams a large pool of blood was formed. Wake Me Up  Fathers "choicelessly" stayed absent from family meetings. Parents shivered watching their babies lie still like logs. No words uttered but a million hearts were hopelessly shattered and they drowned themselves in a bitter pool of tears. Wake Me Up  They held some unfortunate victims down in a jungle and fearfully they begged for their lives to be spared. Their throats dried with no hope to be watered and many notes is their saviour to come. Wake Me Up  The green land once beautiful, is now an ocean of blood. Harmless monsters and deadly saints fills the land where happy
