START A NEW POEM USING THE LAST LAST WORD OF THE PREVIOUS POEM!




To the boys who would date my daughter
I haven't met her mum
Maybe I have met her
But she is laying somewhere there in her mum's belly
And I am proudly waiting 
For her 
She'll met daddy soon
And I and her mum
Would be so proud of her.
I bet you can't wait to meet my daughter
You know,
 she's sweet, smart,beautiful,virtuous
And of course, she's stronger than you all
So! Keep off
There goes the warning sign!
KEEP OFF
I'll ring it loud and loud
Loud and clear and clear
Like the Gospel of an evangelist
Recite it with the rhythm of a minstrel
And I won't stop until you know it 
Like your morning drilll or maybe your mermory verse.
Keep off because she's not gonna have to depend on you
To help her do this 
Or do that
Because that's what the society mould y'all to be
She's not even gonna know this rhyme
"Daddy in the parlour watching film
Mummy in the kitchen cooking rice"
She'd sing a whole new song!
She'll teach you when you meet her.
She'll be a walking Encyclopedia
Because I'll  make her swallow as many knowledge in books as possible
And  her wisdom will challenge you!
So! You will have to keep off
Because she really won't be into boys
Boys love are fantasy
For she'd be loved by a man
Who would love her as I do
And care for her 
Making her feel my presence even when I am gone
Six feet under Gaia.
Other matters;
To the boys who would date her before she meet him
Who would love her as I do,
Don't you dare touch her!
Or your femur would find itself framing the doors in my house 
Don't you dare to break her heart,
You will only end up breaking yours
Don't be angry if she refuses
To let you do things for her
It is because she is not born to rely on you
She is strong
She is resilient!
And to the girls would love to date my daughter
I'm sorry she doesn't do you.

    BEHIND THE MASK

    YOU, wretched and unlucky,
    For the enemies against you,
    Heavens emptied won't save,
    The enemies' size alone wearies,
    Drains all hope for a fair day.

    Enemies?
    No, enemy!

    Against YOU?
    Now, I'm naught,
    Help me;
    Before me lies one at battle,
    With no one else but self,
    He beats and is beaten by him...
    Enemies, enemy, YOU...

    Behind the mask of the enemy,
    I see YOU!

Trip To Rivers

Today,my heart melted.Tiny arm s locked my hips in,holding me captive. His little head came thudding on my lap. And then he spoke, or maybe he didn't,I stood too tall to hear him. But I knew what he wanted. Everyone in this part of the  world knew it too; A few moment's change. Only but a few knew he needed more. He has been out here for hours,perhaps...days. Threading this muddy grounds,hugging feets and pulling arms. Giving a silent call to all who cares to listen. So I delayed, holding him closer to myself like he was my very own. Perhaps she who gave him birth stood watching close by, I could care less.And perhaps everyone who spared me a glance thought I might be mad,a beautiful raving lunatic. But I wasn't. I Wasn't naked,dancing out in the street with no music. My veil rested upon my shoulders,my skin fully covered. For a moment, I might have had the urge to lift him up,or perhaps, it was the urgent need to fall down to his height. I couldn...
