WHILE ON HIS WAY

Some eyes, though, were red from mournful cry
For he was the man that healed their scourging souls
Some women poured their painful stream of tears
For the man that healed their worn-out hearts




From the mouth of mighty men
From the open holes of cemented teeth of swayed little ones
From the heightened wicked actions of men
Came words that tore apart that which was soon to mend it all.
This he did on his way to Golgotha

Legs banging and bashing upon dusty grounds
Shaking the earth for the crowd was large.
And upon the shouts of cursing men
Drenching spittle from sorrowful tongues
Still to give up was not a choice
While he moved in pain to Golgotha




Some eyes, though, were red from mournful cry
For he was the man that healed their scourging souls
Some women poured their painful stream of tears
For the man that healed their worn-out hearts
Was the same man who fell thrice on ground,
The same one with broken sides.
Such pain they could not hide,
While on his way to Golgotha

A woman came and wiped his face
And this image came upon the cloth:
A picture of the broken face
Of a man who was just
Showing love to those whose souls were lost
And to every man, he paid the cost
While in pains he took the cross
To nowhere else but to that place of death
For he embraced pain to Golgotha.

To save us all, he bore it all
He wept out blood, he took the fall
He took the curse, Lifted the cross
And took with him all heightened shame.
He knew to give us the perfect name
A life's lost was the stern cost
So in love shown through pain, he continued
To no other place but to Golgotha.

TWO WATERS by Mide Benedict

                               When two stones meet, they say, either one breaks the other, or they both break into pieces, but when two waters mix, they become one, and inseparable: so was the way it went for Akanji and Aduke. The day was bright at that time. The light of the sun shinned through the clouds, covering large fields of grasses and making them appear very radiant in their green skins. Akanji had kept it in mind for long: his heart pierced him badly that he knew that day was the day he would regain his freedom. Aduke, an elegant lady with vibrant smiles, enormous charms that made men melt on sighting her, sat beside Akanji as they usually did everyday. Many men have dreamt of Aduke in the night when they snoozed in bed with snores. In fact, many wanted to have her as something; be it wife, mistress or whatever just to have a taste of her, but the more they spoke to her, the more she ...

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

Mute by Mide Benedict

That Friday, everyone was spitless, yet it felt as if we spoke all at once in fading tones. Adiza, Halimat's sister wore it differently, her eyes, blood red, her tongue, twisted. Mine was twisted too. Halimat laid right there, silent and unmoving; each gaze at her drove tears out of my eyes.
