GOOD IS EVIL; EVIL IS GOOD

Good is good
Bad is bad
Good is bad
Bad is good
Evil is as sweet as the good it does
Good is as bitter as the evil it does
Good is as good as the good it does
Evil is as evil as the evil does.
Don’t judge me
I won’t judge you

A man dies to live
A man lives to later die
Taste the bitterness of bile
It’s as sweet as fresh honey
In the mouth of pleasers
Take sweetness, touch its skin
It’s wet, yes, take it to mouth and taste it
How does it feel?
As bitter as nothing else?
Love is the hatred of a mind
And hatred is the love that dwells in another’s chest
Don’t judge me
I won’t judge you

A prophet is not known in his abode
But in another man’s castle he is heard
The faeces of man is trouble to man
But joy to the flies and maggots that blesses its giver
Don’t judge me!
What you like is hatred to me,
I won’t judge you,
What I hate is lovely to you.
I won’t judge you.

The swelling of a woman
Is the glamour I seek
Gosh! Skinny woman
Is a stocked paradise of fat.
See that fat skirt
I so dislike fat skirts
But skins marrying bones
That my desire clings
Just don’t judge me
And I won’t judge you.

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.
