The public’s perception of the tyrant’s unwavering audacity, On issues both profound and obscure, spirals into deep disquiet. Their faith wavers in the face of uncertain destiny’s realities. To this, I attribute mankind’s inclination to surrender to fate, As an explanation for their own deficiencies, Much like the severely sick native for whom the local healer, True or not, symbolizes his ultimate hope for healing. Treading upon the water, swallowing the seer’s bitter elixir, In...

How many times must I stumble, tripping on your deceit, Before I reckon the cost with a bitter tongue, Mr. Autocrat? Your false promises serve as your countrymen’s retreat, How many hopes have faded, crushed under your edict?   We soared our dreams to great heights, heralding our hopes, We must now abandon all ambitions, giving room for fear, Where liberty has lost its ability to bear, Who stirs such chaos, succumbing to your dangerous...

A weary soul, thoughts filled with longing, wandering spirits under the moon’s gentle glow, a gathering of hopeful minds, intertwined, united without loneliness, like kinfolk, together, yet untouched by solitude’s sting.   Solitary moonlight, casting away fears, as the lion’s courage ignites strength, nurturing peace within our shared existence. Grant me the serenity that surpasses conflict, for unity’s harmony shall thrive and bloom, even amidst the haze of uncertainty.   Passionate dreams, windows of hope,...

“There’s the concern that regardless of the outcome, the tribunal’s decision could further polarize an already divided society, stoking ethnic and regional tensions…” _______ As the Nigerian Election Tribunal deliberates over the fate of the country’s political leadership, an air of palpable anxiety hangs over the nation. Even in the diaspora –credit to social media and the Internet, where millions of Nigerians who live outside of their motherland followed the February 25, 2023 presidential election. ...

Today is Saturday the tenth day of the month of February twenty twenty-three. It’s morning once again.   And with no witnesses for birth, the morning undoes itself once again: The sun doesn’t disappoint, bright and focused, the air breaks open.   And because it’s Texas, uncertainty’s face is nothing new.   The humidity makes the impulse of love the red wash of the dark room, I can see us clearly.   The air is...

If I captured your smile and pry your heart, Would it shine through the hollows of your being Or would it fizzle out into darkness? If I captured your smile and pry your heart, Would it shine through the hollows of your being Or would it fizzle out into darkness? If I unearthed the soil of your laughter and dig further, Would I find fruit of joy and happiness Or would there lie the gory...

Everyone weighs with potential. Everyone is unraveled and unraveling. The unraveled, we know. The unraveling, we guess. No one is as blind as a forecaster. To pride in the confidence that pattern A-B and B-C apply to X-Y is bold blindness. Not humans. Accidents happen. In-between the lines are hiccups. Some, dissolved by a spittle-swallow Some, multiple oceans cannot subside. Bitcoin is not as volatile as humans. What do you seek to know? Knowledge at...
