Old Russian Tale
So sad we say this sad old song
So sad we know how it begins
So sad we know how it ends
Why do we find joy in desolation
Fun in destruction
& Gladness in others pain?
Why do we ignore the way of love
Her promises & rewards
But beckon on the path of pain
Why is Russia in a rush to repeat a cycle of doom,
Is a man an island by threats of violence?
Who really has the monopoly of war?
Or the supreme power to violence?

Read MoreI searched my heart today,
Pulling out the latent obvious
I Flung caution to the trash
& stared into the peep my eyes
There it was, a beautiful middle finger
Beautifully, saying hi to your thoughts & perceptions of me
Your gimmicks & pranks
Your rides & wild lead that I may chase,
Laughing out loud
I stand proud of who I am
Who I have become
& who I will emerge to be

Read MoreWe voiced with our lit touches
& matched with defying moves
A step with a modern drive
As we shook their pants off their waists
Held the country to her core
& brought fear to the heart of Aso rock
We shook the world & screamed still,
Till She learnt the meaning of endsars
We remain great as true to our blood & build
Be it today or tomorrow
Our song will fly & our hopes remain
Whilst, this fire they fight frantically to quench
Will keep burning while their bones meets aches
As we remain built to stand, match & survive

Read MoreThey exert undue toll of scarce time
& a million wade of loaned funds
To the denial of the impending doom
One held by a hair's breath
Still they think, spitting lies
& gagging the tongue of true justice
Is the way of democracy & politics,
How confused can they be?
Conflicting communism to liberalism
Democracy & feudalism
All a mix of madness,
Just a country hijacked by rogues & crooks
Senenseless Thieves, mobs & liars
Just a web of mulling worms
As they leach on the tomorrow
Yet Devow the present with useless loans

Read MoreThe sit of power has picked a job greater than the job
Making more winnings in failures
And singing their praise
Only to ask us to do a research on their giant strides
What happened to our eyes,
Did our tongues all grow cold at once?
The deaf, hears loud the silliness of the joke nigeria becomes
As the street insane man beats his chest
To the bitterness an old crowd of sane men has picked
As his kingdom beside the city market
Has come to suffer inflation,
& left at the mercy of the hunger that killed the dump flies;
How disheartening!

Read MoreOne year after,
My country remains a spittle of laughter
Our cries then,
Has now become wails
Our demand then
Has deranged to a bigger villian
As the little light of hope we thought we could reinkindle,
has grown dim
& found place with the colour of darkness
Diminished with the lies
Amassed with systemic threats & pressing fouls
Instead of greeting the needful
& paying the debt to reality...

The blood & souls lost to this cause

We are just careful slaves,

Parents need to realise this. Your kids aren't too young to be going through issues. You need to stop ruling out their emotional and mental needs.
Sometimes your words, actions or even body language can scar your kids for life.‼️
They aren't too young to be going through depression, anxiety and so many other things, don't make it seem NORMAL to them! it is not! TEENAGE DEPRESSION IS REAL?
What are your thoughts?15 3 3

Honestly,
I no longer have space in my heart
To bottle up the pain
From broken promises.
Honestly
I no longer have space in my heart
To bear the cross
Of all the dreams people broke when they left.
Honestly,
I no longer have space in my heart
To hide the pages of my life
When people were simply cruel.
Honestly
I no longer have space in my heart
To give refuge to,
Temporary people.

I think I have lost myself
I left myself at the train station without waving goodbye
I wrapped myself in swaddling clothes and let myself drift down the river in a basket
I sneaked out of bed, packed some clothes and left myself sleeping soundly in bed
I dropped myself off at kindergarten and never picked myself back up
I took myself to the market and sold myself for a bag of silver and gold
I abandoned myself at an orphanage and never looked back
I traveled on an airplane and pushed myself out without a parachute
I went for a boat ride and pushed myself into the water without a life jacket
I've left myself so many more times than I can actually remember
Now I can not seem to find myself anymore.

Follow @whytequeen on MirakeeDear Tommorow
I hope I get to see your sunrise and smell the innocence of birds who are still not scared of flying in the open sky. Today, Aunty Jane lost her love in war and the laughters of yesterday have become a today ragged with sombre.
She crumples on Mama's wooden floor like a spread of dead flowers. Saggy skin have come upon her in the day of her vibrance like the shrieks of the night.
Memories relay me to the moments forevers were sworn. She, like the bride of whiteness and he, like the groom of darkness. Both smiling at the now they shared and the vows to be said.
But none ever sent you an invitation, they had hoped you'd invite yourself, strengthening the bond they shared everyday you replicated yourself by the death of today.
Were you so angry that they forgot you? That everyone forgets you as soon as you're born in today - today receiving all the attention.
But they did look to you, counting up to the days their undying love would herald the scream of a bundle forged in purity and love.
You got too jealous, dear tommorow. You had the stage set for the drums of the damaged and she whirls to your eclectic strings, writhing in wishes unfulfilled and promises unsaid.
You hid well in the jags of piercing screams, foetid blood, punctured heads, splintered spines, severed bones and skewered intestines where you embezzled a life intertwined with another.
You could have permitted her to share the tidings of the form emerging within her; a life to be birthed within your glorious rays.
Dear tommorow, your snuffed the candles of her joy and you plunged her into a dark world - a world where she would remain stuck in today reliving the pain over and over again.
I still ramble with unbroken tether to the yoke of numberless moonlights ago. The twilight that yesterday brought to my life when Father found wings and went on a flight of evermore.
Dear tomorrow, I may not know what's written in your dairy for me or Aunty Jane but I hope faith finds us leaning in helplessness.
In our nothingness and surreal end, teach us to count the days in restitution - to do all that's to be done, say all there is to say and love what exists to be loved.
And when you cook your stories in the pot of time, add the condiments of beautiful memories to be tasted and the salt of satisfaction. Add chunks of laughters, bits of smiles, slices of peace and extra layers of love.
To:
The tomorrow that hatches in today.
Uncertainty Lane
