DYING WOMBS


Whereas they may be called fallopian

Meals prepared by the ovarian

Though with no account on YouTube

They house that famous tube

Striving and striking through

A life far from what’s true

Is there anyone responsible

Why the mosquito nets

Who sleeps here yet to be met

And as you drive along circle

You forget this is your preamble

The child you ignored to nurse

Although she boasts her father is a nurse

Won’t mom be forced

To eat dust and feed me flour

Did dad lie saying mom was his flower?

I’m a now a nine year old

But consider young Joe

How long, Should mom long

For an end of this street battle

Seeking alms not forthcoming

If only that rapist did never exist

We live, sleep and beg at airport

Not because we are well off

 But to see what life has installed

Anytime the car parks to pick mom away

I see tears in her smiles each day

If not for us, she wouldn’t have said yes.

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.
