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?

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 faces once displayed. It seems as useless to cry for help as it is to pray for change..... Wake Me Up

I speak to you from this horrifying dream land. This dream lingers and sorrow pierces deep and deep. Before you work out the door, please do Wake Me Up

ONLY WHEN YOU CAN'T

So in late June I had suffered Anosmia (inability to smell) and I had thought it would be for a day or two, so I wasn't really worried. Well, I started panicking when I lost my sense of taste too. 'Heyyyyy I don get Corona virus ooo' Lolzzzz... well, I legit thought so but I didn't have covid19. What I had was a bad cold that was determined to shake me up a little more than I cared for. So a week had past and I still couldn't smell or taste a thing and I was seriously freaking out in every single way. I never could have imagined that something as simple as smell could cause me so much pain. Pain in the sense that I couldn't taste because I couldn't smell and since I couldn't taste,food became boring to eat and I avoided eating most of the time.  A week had turned into two and two into three. At this time I wasn't just panicking, I was terrified in every sense of the word and I suddenly had so many "what ifs." But the one that bothered me th

WHEN TOMORROW COMES

              WHEN TOMORROW COMES When tomorrow comes It will be just  yesterday that it all began My shattered story now united in the           Pages of my memory        My story has many parts, colours and           shapes...blue, black, good and ugly.  When tomorrow comes and my                     youngselves sit around the table With their ears in their hands  My mouth will tell the colourful                     imperfect story that birthed and                   made me.  When tomorrow comes and                           yesterday becomes impossible to travel to  I will stand in your midst with my                   wounds now healed and scars                       perfectly hidden behind my smile I will stand naked before you all                     and show myself to your ears because         your eyes will hold the  Cloud of rain gathered from your                   broken hearts.  I will let you all know that I'm no hero           but a survivor. I come from the storm, the

MASKED part 1

It is not that I do not know how to fight. It is that the little demons I fight, grow up overnight and muster the strength to defeat me.  It is not that I do not speak but the people seated with me, do not listen to what I say. It's almost like my voice has no sound or my words simply makes no sense.  It's not that I do not try but failure is guaranteed even before I set out to try.  Writing is my safe place, so I write but people do not read anymore and those that try to, don't read between the lines and so they miss the message.  I do not come to you by chance and I won't leave by chance. I walked to this point I am right before your eyes. You're too blind to see and too occupied to notice but the time keeps ticking and my weary walk continues till  it stops.  "Fight" they say but when does one win? "Speak out" they say but who truly listens?  "Try" but how hard does one have to try before it's enough?  I do not plan t
