Let Me
Today, I just want to write poetry
Poetry that does not only condemn adultery but praises fidelity
Poetry does not divide or devise means to separate but poetry that unites, encourage diversity and brings together communities so we can build a better, tolerant society
Poetry that does not only talk about the imaginary but paint an imagery of today reality in this society
Poetry that encourages dreamers but while they dream, they have to work smart and be willing to work hard to make their dream come true, only then can they create their own reality.
Poetry that does not only preach divinity for propagates love for humanity.
Today, let me write poetry
Poetry that does not only discourage envy and jealousy but poetry that promotes generosity and inspires charity.
Poetry that enflames our love for one another and the fight to save each other from jeopardy.
Poetry that is bold to tell of my story no matter how scary and blury, for in telling my story comes my liberty, my victory.
Poetry that does not only encourage charity but encourages investment,acountability, reflects transparency
Poetry that does not only promotes the quest for community but strives for the preservation of my individuality.
Today, Let me talk poetry
Poetry that empowers, and brings to realisation that
Just because my mother was a prostitute, gave birth to me out of wedluck, just because my aunt was a drunk or just because my father was a drug dealer, a smooker and my uncle a prisoner, does not mean that's all I can be, they were just aa lesson for me to be better. No I am not better than them, but I have to do better for them.
Poetry that make me understand that because I grew up in old town/randezvous/Mile 4 does not mean I have to be a thief, a 419er or a bully. I must bring out that teacher in me, that entrepreneur in me, that singer, that dancer, that World class leader in me. Yes I can and I am me
Just because I did not have a father or a mother figure when I was growing up does not mean I can be a great dad or a great mom.
Today wonna leave me enjoy poetry
Da one wey e di cajole me
Da one wey e di calm me
Da one wey e di free me
Da one wey e di make am ma skin di feel na some kind
Na da one a want am
Na yi a di feel am
Today world poetry day
