ON TODAY'S WIND by Mide Benedict

Geographical Setting: Oba-Ile, Akure, Ondo State
Temporal Setting: -11th of July, 2016

What spirit dwells in this wind
Blowing with wide strength
Trees are naked-
Sands run from their folk
Cadavers of buried leaves
Have been uprooted
And now
in upward strolls
To heaven's gate-
It calms
Then it roars again
Its voice
Is harsh again
Its anger
Is great again
It packs
All the sands again
The trees
Nakedness regained
Dead leaves
Up-gathered in train....
What spirit dwells in this wind today
What strength gives you strength?

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover. Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot; Mountains tied to your legs While eyes go dark As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light; What a freedom!
