“A society that’s Crowning the flesh”

“A society that’s Crowning the flesh”

Teenage tope, presently puffing and huffing gases from the residues of a pipe,

It’s cool, that’s her remark.

Later she’s planning on graduating to wrapped weeds of Ganja

Femi is now a smart boy at the handling of the keys of social deceit

His friends hail him, He’s a sharp guy 24 – 7 you know, and we want to be like him

Jennifer now sag her jeans with reckless abandon, having no wears underneath

But the public response is; she is a slay queen!!!!!

Haba!!!

Where are the Elders?

Daddy is so busy, that he doesn’t even know if tola’s complexion is brown

Our mothers, are obsessed and often gisting about the latest party in town

Sanity has been sold in exchange for pursuit after vanity

And now we have a society in anarchy

Little David with his I – phone, knows almost all the porn sites in the world

Unknown to his dad who says; my son is fast becoming a tech Lord.

And 5 year old Angela has got loads of bikini and spaghetti wears

Her mum bought them, my daughter has got to be classy you know.

While frank the neighbor, eyes the little girl

Mum even says go play @ uncle frank’s place

What’s underneath the stinking vegetable is more than a colony of Active bacterium.

The flesh is swimming deep

And society is fast losing its grip

The flesh is being crowned

Please let everyone wake up to this sound.

HEAR MOTHER EARTH SPEAK

From steam to the combustion engine Dangerous smokes daily dished out to her baby clouds Even though we are having several meetings; signing many treaties We still haven’t attended to her daily plead See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak Many the Nations their trees; they fell Many countries their Forest; less dense Many cities uprising at much expense Detriment to the soul of the mother without replenishment See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak All the Gs; 3, 4, 5 and more To generates massive speed for our daily needs A reality and prep to face more heat Guess we aren’t checking many things, deforesting to get more Gigs See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak Even the deep isn’t left out of this gory head Mother earth’s squids and whales can’t escape the unchecked human race Coral reefs feeling the heat down beneath, tiny fishes dying of the spills...

Nigeria and the “care – free’’ culture

Nigeria and the “care – free’’ culture “Culture” according to Sir E.B Tylor (an anthropologist) is that complex whole that includes Knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs, and any other capabilities and habits that are collectively acquired by man as member of society. While culture is a beautiful phenomenon that creates a platform for uniqueness and group identity, however, certain behavioral practices stems from dangerous and unpalatable habits of the people and later expands into a full blown culture. Over the years as a result of political shortsightedness and inefficiencies which created economic stagnation and social nuisances, Nigeria according to my philosophy has eventually fit into an analogy of a fleshy human body having its skeletal frame work made of half bones, quarter sticks, with some parts held together by brooms, some by straws, making the country one with a philosophy of a staggering drunkard that stands and fall bedeviled with disappearing and re –...

AFRICAN dictators; Beware!!! It's a new dawn

In the race for progressive societies, the quest for modernity and advancement; the basic form of Government universally agreed and accepted as constituting the most ideal and potent for promoting the platform and umbrella for individual self expression, development, and advancement without repression of any sort Is Democracy; the Government of the people, by the people and for the people according to Abraham Lincoln. It is rather unfortunate that since the attainment of independence by 98% of African nations, many have witnessed democratic - dictatorial regimes, as far stretched as the past can be recollected. This is a paradoxical situation that throws one into some moments of “awe”, from south Sudan’s Omar al – Bashir (28 years rule and counting) to Paul Biya of Cameroon (35 years and still counting), down to Paul Kagame of Rwanda (17 years and still counting) and recently ousted former presidents in Yahyah Jammeh and Robert Mugabe of Gambia and Zimbabwe respectively. The rule ...
