Vision Impaired

 She walked upon me 

Looked into my face 

My little shiny face armored with thoughts of good tidings of good health

My nostrils have been blocked for days

My chest felt like a compacted flat

I could feel every breath of me night in night out

My eyes dazzle as she spoke

Because she spoke of nothingness

‘Oh you look unhappy today’’

She mustered;

In amazement, I wondered.

I asked again, ‘I look unhappy?’

Oh! 2020

How more dreaded can you make a girl feel.

Widening Horizons

We widen our horizons most times in the wrong things We want to grow in the wrong way Our country Nigeria is backwards today because every one is thinking of the national cake For instance, according to Leslie White, "the primary function of culture is to harness and control energy." He went on to differentiate the stages of energy in human development as follows, first, human use their own muscles, second, we use the  energy of domesticated animals, third, we use the energy of plants, fourth, we learn to use the energy of natural resources like coal, oil and gas etc and in the fifth place, the use of nuclear energy.  Thus, culture evolves as the amount of energy harnessed per capita per year is increased.

The world now is on the fifth stage of human developmen...

We all have that one sin we cannot let go  The sin has become a part of us, that we coin a new way to address it. Make it look none less sinful. Take for instance, let me use the most common things around us, ADULTERY.  Luckily some of us are fortunate to not fall under this category of sin.  And here is another one, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.  Un...

A Talk About Freedom

  I remember sitting on that hillside field, My eyes filled with tears.  I could see the vehicles passing on high speed.  The thoughts of being free and being grown engulfed me. I hated it there, I was a prisoner. Oh the young shall grow, I groaned but for how long? How long shall l sit here and watch free people? How long shall I sit here and get fed bad beans? How long shall I have the courage to say no more? I just needed to wait. And I did. And look at me now. I’m grown and free. But freedom isn’t still free.
