APRIL 12 OF A MORNING TRILL (On my experience)by Mide Benedict

Guns of rotten rusted and twisted mouthsCells of sells and gains of painsSanity hidden behind insane cranium
It comes with a strong knock on one's door!
Koh! Koh! Koh! koh!!!!!
Then....

Fallen statuses risen above a standing me
Whiteness has become the back of a never-washed pot
The green is a mixed hyena's bile and gutter Spirogyra
Rotten blue and black uniform, corrupt stupidity
Friendship of a dragged down boom turned doom
Independent giant martial force driven by lesser forces
Who force it and make it a force form of false muscularity- dead maturity
Guns of rotten rusted and twisted mouths
Cells of sells and gains of pains
Sanity hidden behind insane cranium
What bullshit!
A bloody nonsense bull shot!

Misty eyes of cloudy saviours
Knocks of pleads and abegs
Brown enveloped brains of dusty duty drains
Blue shirted nonsenses, jails of foolishness
Sold out minds, influential jails from rubbish hails.

Nonsense!

Early morning Landlord's slice
Threats and awkward strokes
Of curses and obnoxious chokes
Melted upon your soul, once they think you are no more
Than you are more
Then they Call blues and blacks to treat your wise self
And at the end... it begins again- rain of curses and loss of choices.

'Shut up! 
You bloody study wallets!
Shut up!
You right provers who know too much but know nothing more
He will shut your results, his legs are ostriches 
His mouths are razors, cutting without favours

'You must show respect to your elders when 
They tape you with their tinted talks and tamper with your Intelligence through a senseless use of a sense-filled custom'

"Yes sir, please cheat me!"
"Yes sir, please like iranu, treat me"
"Yes! I must show you respect, it's my culture"

'Yes! Yes! Elders don't lie'

All in this place of mixed up greens and blackened white
Cinematographed in the realm of Shaun-sir!
Landlords will threaten you
Blues and blacks will back them up.
Chai!
Doom!
Law keepers keeping law stripers!

Temple against all forms of Oppression

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.
