FREEDOM 4 SALE


Your vote is your power, 
An African fairytale.
These are the words of Aaron Ramsdale 
The goal keeper for England
Who visited our motherland,
"Your freedom cry was a vain demand"

You should have told us
You needed deception
Campaign promises thus,
Just to win an election.
Neither Patriotic nor democratic
Presiding over nations so frantic.

Let us be aware 
Of your evil snare 
That empowers you to dare
Proclaim lies and still swear

While candidates meet to chit-chat
supporters do tit-for- tat
Why do you hide the truth
That every term is planned
Just like the season of fruit
Rain and Sun knows when it's time has dawned.

But now we know
Tribalism won't help
Education did show
Partisanship won't help.

Are they armed robbers
Without loaded guns?
Or merely caretakers 
Hoarding for their sons?

Just use your head 
Don't vote for who gives bread
he who teaches you to knead, 
Abide by him instead.
Your  vote isn't your power
It's your freedom.

WHEN I GROW UP

Now I don’t know what to think, but some day it will all be in ink. I look without seeing, am I even a human being. To me, everything exists without meaning. My language is a cry, but I only calm myself with a smile. Today I take milk, but tomorrow I will break bones. Now am wrapped in silk, but soon I will wear clothes. Hmm! They leave me in pampers, am now among toddlers. Both the young and old handle me. Love and admiration are all I can see. Sometimes how hurtful it can be, especially when bathed by the geriatric. I have no option than to accept their plea. In fact a little smile does the trick. I am now a boy but frankly, am coy. I can’t even cook but I can eat yolk. Where is all the tenderness, where is all the care? How come all this harshness, why all these snare? My ideas are not significant, as tiny as an ant. All my vocals create fun, commonly ignored with laughter. I hate this pan; maybe, I should sound louder. But my cry is an unnoticed plea When shall I be free, I wish I ...

YOUR own PEN

Something mostly divine, Sometimes, it's ours to define. Unlike the plant called Vine, Destiny seldom has pine. And it is our duty to prune and refine. From the feet till we see the spine. It may be a good omen, To which we shout Amen. It might have a fault to mend or dirt to filter, Which might make us think that God did falter. But we can write our own destiny. Yes, we always do. Remember that road you used to the mill, The particular person you talked to, Has it not been your own will? When you wanted to learn, Even when in prayer you did yearn, You took that training seriously, And you passed out successfully, That was your own destiny. That was your pen on paper. When you write, no one can alter. I am the secretary of the God you don't know. Now wait while I print yours out to show. Written down by you as white as snow.
