From Me to You

Wearing/using something that a loved one gifts me, usually has me feeling so loved🥰 I get all the good feelies them😍

Cos it's like carrying a piece of them with you & when I wear/use these pieces I remember them. Yes, you, who gifted me these amazing things.

You'd be shocked at how long I keep these items for, even when they're begging for freedom 😂

Thank you for giving me pieces of yourselves overtime, I think of you whenever I use them😘

And every now & then, I say a prayer for you🙏🏻

*Streetrats

*Street rats & louts

What do they have in common?

Beady suspect eyes

Yellowed with greed

Darting here and darting there

Seeking out the weak

The naive

The vulnerable 

Skank deposits

To devour 

Street rats

Riff-raffs

Litter the streets of Lagos

All aroaming

Hustling for their daily bread

The scraps and pieces of food

That trickle down their masters' table

That fall off the occupants' hand

Or forcefully taken

From the tenants of the land

Street rats

Scampering & scurrying

Rustling & looting 

Digging, snuffling 

Brazenly, on the streets of Lagos

The centre of excellence

The people's pride

Where it's being said;

Eko for life

Eko oni baje

Nightfall

Night falls when it ought

Do not hasten it my love

But do hasten my love

For night cometh

When men shall lay

As though dead

Then shall I

Like a flame, reawakened

Begin my toil

The midnight oil

Shall I burn

Until my dreams are fulfilled
