Today, I SINNED!

TODAY I SINNED
I had blood on my hands
for somebody's son i slew;
when my reputation he touched.
Today, I sinned.

Started with money issues,
for the love charm 
to keep her husband to be

Somebody's wife, i laid with,
poured my seed in her
to effect the charm;
and the husband to be,
was a close neighbour of mine.
My father's grandson
An offspring of my spouse

Distance must be blamed
and stiffneckedness be praised!
For the rules i broke,
when our divorce was final
so, the kids i never knew

Today, I sinned.
For somebody's wife i laid with,
somebody's son i slew;
A son to my wife.
Today, I Sinned

The shame, I will no longer bear
for the death around my neck
has made my words few
and the heavens call
for their voice i hope i heard
Today, I sinned

DARK TIMES

Image
The Darkest Phase of a Man's life can't be shared even by his wife, divided by bits with the sharpest of knives. It is meant to be borne by him and I mean him alone. For some people, it is that time when they lose someone so special, probably a parent or a dear friend and no help seems to come in the form of the proverbial silver lining in dark clouds. It could be the health issue, that integrity-related problem, the non forth-coming college admission,capital-raising funds, who to love or what next to do in life. Regardless of the form in which it occurs, every one must face it -head on! The response to that phase is consequential to the outcome of the man; its like the furnace in which crude oil is refined, the hotter the temperature, the difference in what product emerges. Like Jesus in the period of pre-cruxification who felt alone and helpless, he tried everything to push it away, yet when he resigned himself to fate that was when he faced it head-on like a raging bull

Women were born LAZY! (African women especially!)

Women are very lazy! You would agree with  me, especially the typical African woman and not these new hybrid ones with ideas of feminism! A bundle of wood on the head a babe sitting on the behind. Two bags of groceries to balance her weight, Of course! Her shape is worth the wait. Oil soaked hands Blood filled basin Smoky arena of aroma Sizzling dances on  fire Dusty bands Six bedrooms to be whitewashed; Sparkling reflection of your crooked teeth on the floor you step on with your muddy trodden soles Sanctifying your Children bodies for school, The backpack on the go No "mama put" would ever do as if she didn't bear the kids for you She runs the show for the boss making minimal their loss healthcare check for the kids what excuse would take her out of office Fresh dinner is what he loves, not that microwaved thrash she does. So, to the stalls of vegetables and all -she's off Gosh, why wouldn't she get the cough This woman i

ADELE: Finally we reach house!

Image
Am so excited, thrilled, hyperactive and you all know our love for Aunty Adele can never be lost. Lailai! Imagine how I felt when I first heard the name " Adele ", I thought it was one of our Aunts that traveled out and forget us but naahhh, It wasn't. With her Album 21 playing on repeat on my small phone (You should have seen the phone, Tchai!) , I was downcast when her voice hmmmnnnn "You know, thatszall" and she just disappeared for three years. Suddenly, she teased us with a voice trailer of " HELLO " during the intermission of that daily what sef...and Yes, the Video of " HELLO " is out, directed by Xavier Dolan. Written by her and her producer Greg Kurstin, Hello is a tip out of her forth coming Album 25 (Whats with her and numbers?) which is coming forth on November 20th.  “Hello from the other side; I must have called a thousand times to tell you; I’m sorry, for everything that I’ve done; But when I call you never
