When the night agreed to come before the morning to frighten his memory, Tanner wasn’t ready. Sunlight was a better neighbour who was never afraid of the dark. It was easy to float and fade into the dark, but to this, Tanner never agreed. He has hoped to be as fierce as his neighbour and […]

First, they cried and yelled, For they were treated like strangers in their home, They toiled all day, Labouring all night, but their pockets were filled with nothingness. Their homes made out of the humblest of materials, They could barely move at night, only stared at lights from a distance. They’re treated by the colour […]

Take me to where reckless sings Without the acoustic. Show me whatever it brings, Steal out of her picnic. Steal out of her picnic, Detach her wagon’s strings. The band is a wise trick, A front to rob the kings. A front to rob the kings And mount the thrones after. But before the war […]

Ten seems like a perfect score, Counting out of my lips. Love hymns erupt from my core, Paradise on my hips. Paradise on my hips. A deep magical store. Sailing in blissful ships, Heading down my heart’s shore. Heading down my heart’s shore, Teasing me just to please, Screaming out as they tore, Whirling storms […]

Iya Mi, the pains of child birth, the smile of seeing me cry, me biting you calling it sucking, with joy I was still offered to suck. Iye, I thought you beat me then out of hatred, I grew up mum, people are smiling to me with hatred, I’m finding love but seeing only yours, […]

Woman, Restricted to staying at home, sweeping, and cooking, While her brothers are busy in school feeding their minds. Restricted to her house chores, while her brothers are solving equations, And curving compasses. Restricted to child bearing, and home keeping. Question? How do they raise the children’s standards at home With little or no formal […]

Underneath where conscience lie, Is evidence of two Tiny traces i untie To finally find you. To finally find you, if i must answer why, is like a drop of dew descending from the sky. Descending from the sky, like rain that sets us free, was how you caught my eye So now clearly i […]

The culture of reading and writing has been age-long. Literature has succeeded in revealing the deep thoughts and common beliefs of a people through stories (prose), drama, and poetry. And poetry has constantly been a reminder of oral tradition because it can communicate effectively, innermost feelings and thoughts of both the bearer and the receivers. […]
