Forever let it be so.

As I walk past these days
May they remain past
As I look forward
May the future bears no resemblance
With the past days
As I grow with lack and scarcity
May the days ahead be filled with plenty
I've cried many bitter tears
May I not know their taste again
And if I must shed a tear
May it spring from joy
I've tasted the fruit of lies and dishonesty
May its tree be withered from the roots
I've seen fragility shatter to the force of evil
May these shattered pieces color the days ahead
I've been exposed to the scourge of the sun at a tender age
Though my faces are patched with sunburns
I still radiate this beautiful smile.
And Lord, I'm grateful for your goodness
May it flow throughout my fears.

Akunna your eldest sister's cry He ignored Shouting "just this one and I'm done" Wasn't that what he always said But the path from his house To Boma Became clearer and clearer Like the path to "Idemili" Our only source of water "Mama is giving birth" Derinka the herbalist laboured For several hours Chanting And praying to the spirits The spirits of our ancestors But your Papa insisted  He never left Boma Till he won or was exhausted from drinking Every Kobo he willed to Boma. Akunna ran back to your m...

Cliché..

I took a walk heading towards your house But I refrained my steps just at the entry Tried to dial your number But stopped myself mid way. I slide into your social media page Saw your pictures  Your perfect smile Then I left without replying your DM How do you understand? A little bit of low and high.
