Who am I by Ogri Mathilda Sarah (@Mathillss)

I'm drowning in darkness
Extinct from Existence
Lost in my history
Lost not in misery
But drowning in the birth mystery

I wish it was a whirl pool
At least I'd get a chance to see and choose
And maybe roll with the truth

Was this a mistake
Am I my mistake
I find myself battling
With physics and science
Nature and Choices
Spirituality and Morality

How can I break from this cycle
How can I fall far from this tree
How can I help her free from worries
How can I help junior from all these psychological trauma

Pretence is my garment
Fake happiness is my lipstick
Sorrow is my heartbeat
And concealing is my concealer

My story has been heard this night
Should I pride myself in disgust
Or hold my head high with this punishment
Blindly he lead the folks

Folks of girls, concubines and slave
All in one he titled them wives
One in, one out
Two in Five out
Each day they learned more
For those who had the choice coped
For those who never did
Ran off holding tight their offspring

Who am I
And Who this she?
That provoked the anger that led to the slaughter of my dearest sib
Slaughter to his happiness
Slaughter to my Queen Mother peacefulness
All for a misunderstanding about a correction

You can never know this story untill I tell it to you
And yes I will tell it to you
But on one condition
That you'd put a stop to a polygamous home
For right now I know not who I truly am

But when I find myself
I will cloak God and preach this gospel of abstinence and true love
For now all I can hear are the sounding jingles of
You are a bastard!
I curse your generation!
Dare touch this seed from fornication
And you shall be hanged!

Well the truth is fornication lies the name we all bear
So pray for us, pray for the men
That controlled they be
Cause for now
I leave for a journey to find out
Who I am.

Who am I

Converted but Unbroken Christians!

Converted but Unbroken Christians! These Christians are converted but they have refused to be broken of themselves to the Will of God! One example we have in the Bible is Jacob! Jacob always loved to do things His own way! Although, he was His covenant child, he still went on to deceive His brother and cheated him out of His right! Later in Jacob's life, God renamed him Israel, which means "he struggles with God." In fact, Jacob struggled with God his entire life, as many of us do. As he matured in faith, Jacob depended on God more and more. But the turning point for Jacob came after a dramatic, all-night wrestling match with God. In the end the Lord touched Jacob's hip and he was a broken man, but also a new man. From that day forward, Jacob was called Israel. And for the rest of his life he walked with a limp, demonstrating his dependence on the Lord. Jacob finally learned to give up control to God. Converted but unbroken Christians are workers of ...

Broken Pieces 3

It was Saturday, I was done with my chores, which were, fetching water from the well, sweeping the parlor and room. Lacing my boot before I head out to the field to play soccer. Dad’s phone began ringing. “Hello” “Yes, I be Nnamdi, wetin happen?” “Chineke!” “Ewo…. Ewo!” “Ogini?” Mum asked. “Dad what is it? I asked confused” “Jerry” “Sir” “Chigozie” “Sir” “Your Uncle and Aunty just get accident” “Ehh!!!... Chineke me! ……. Life is funny isn’t it? Yeah it is, he bluffed and smiled, as he tried leaning on the prison wall. But it became ridiculous, when he stumbled on the truth. Beverly Parents were dead and buried. The accident that took place was indeed fatal. Beverly Johnson had become an orphan, just in a twinkle. She began living with us. She had to adapt, for two years, when she’d be twenty years of age, to inherit her Father’s assets, it was willed so, and so it was. She was the only heir, and that left Dad and Mum too creepy. ...

THE COASTER BUS LOVER

Coaster Bus Have you ever boarded a Coaster Bus? If you're in Nigeria, especially Lagos,you will be very familiar with that type of bus, it's common along the Badagry expressway, oshodi - Ikorodu axis, oyinbo etc. and you hear the conductors shouting and clamoring for you to enter like 'Ketu, Ikorodu! Wole pelu change e o' etc. They call passengers in and cramp them in the bus like sardine. The bus is actually a 3 seater with extension for a 4th person on a row but in Nigeria, it has been used as a 5 person per row bus and your body sticks to eachother, no space to feel comfy, you're inconvenient through out the journey. I do take the bus very well, so I can tell you the experience first hand... Now to the content, everybody's is like a coaster bus, where you are meant to accommodate a specified or limited number of people & happenings together but because of greed and indecision; we take more than our capacity and it's affecting our life, making,it ...
