Impacting Positively

Gentleman wants to marry me I say Mr tell me why He says oh I love me an independent woman Who doesn't need me to stand One that I don't have to worry about Raising her up if she falls. I say I no marry Yes I'm strong But I want a man Strong enough to lift me up And be my pillar of support So we can give our excess strenghts To those who lack them To the lame A new leg to rise again.

Most times we are  in a hurry to discard negative people. Yes, they are bad blood, but they are very useful. To me, they are my source of inspiration. If you tell me I can't do something excellently , I hear you but do not listen to you. I hear you so I can constantly reply that voice in my head, people like this make me put on my A game. I like to see people and show them what I did, often times,  ideas they never believed in. Negative people are like trash, but why burn trash? When you can bury it in your compound and use it to fertilize your plants. Trash doesn't belong in the house, negative people do not belong in your circle but they have a place in your life. They have a function, allow them serve that purpose and experience the happiness that comes from rising above societal norms and limitations.

Eyes, Legs, Ears and Mouths The Supreme gave us all That we may function That we may use them. But now you keep them locked Your mouths have become rust Unable to open Owing to years of abandonment. If you cannot use it To say the the truth To chastise the crown Then give it out. To the dumb who crave it Who will tell truth And ask for their rights And not keep quiet and suffer. Give it out, to a good course And let posterity prosper Not to be choked to death Before its birth, 'cos you can't talk!

How many more elections shall we have Before our oil is given us legit? How many more campaigns Will come and go Fueled by the sweat of tax payers? How many more sons will die wastefully Plunging mothers into temporary insanity? How many more stillborn white elephants Shall our government bear? How many more will grow fat Off the owed salaries of our parents? How many more sick children Will be given lozenges for typhoid? Before we realise That these people never loved us. Lying in wait like lions upon a goat They devour us. Living lavishly like Pharoah Off the Israelites, they milk us dry. These people never loved us, Take note, I never said they hate us They simply NEVER loved us.

Let a woman be All what she wants The bad, the bad and the bad Let a woman roam Let her fly And do not confine her To the smokey chamber. Let a woman fly away Do not map her life out Do not tap all her youthfulness Till she shrinks like a palm And begins to harbour maggots Till she fades away Let a woman be. Let life listen to her 'stupidity' Let a woman be Be everything beautiful Good and bad She will learn Let a woman be, Man.
