Hopeless Beggars. -Eze Victor

Hopeless Beggars

We lacked the Sun smile 

While we humbly stood still 

Under the cloudy boring sky 

Beside a staving dry tree 

Life is a Battlefield.

It owns different sword 

Swords of different name 

Revenge,position and fame  

Life is an indefinite Race 

We all must rise and race 

Chasing nothing but shadows 

Running alongside with fellows

Life is an unjust justice 

Which only take delights 

In making the rich richer 

And the poor poorer 

From Morning till night

We walk street to street

Bending,bowing and kneeling 

For food to fill our blank belly 

We became curse carriers 

As many pour all kind of curse

On each money their consents 

Wished to give the hopeless beggars 

Yet all we could get 

Is mockery and spite 

From the same souls 

We saved from curses

I wished someone could

Have our hearts smelled 

Perceiving our cute pains 

And healing our wide wounds 

These are the greatest wishes 

Of all hopeless hearted beggars

DIARY OF A NIGERIAN GIRL _Mo' - Episode 3

Happy "Twos day" readers...
Past few days been so busy, barely had time for me....
I'm grateful for these few minutes I have in bed to write before I'm up and about for the day again...

Flash back to me growing up, I've always been a big fan of birthdays, like I'm always totally psyched about them ..
Thank God for my beautiful mom who makes sure we "mark" each birthday..
I didn't say celebrate, I said "mark". My mom has this chain and I don't know if it's only peculiar to my family .. The chain goes like this → you only celebrate your 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th ... Complete d sequence... And so on birthdays..
But birthdays like 6th, 7th, 11th and d rest, she doesn't elaborately celebrate, she "marks".
"Marks" means buying biscuits, cookies, chocolates and drinks but no cake and taking them to school to share with your teachers, friends and classmates.
This has been the family tradition but my sister and I when we were little, promised to celebrate our birthdays EVERY YEAR when we are big and have "OUR OWN MONEY" Lol? I know right.

My dad on the other hand doesn't remember any body's birthday in the family.
One time on my birthday, everyone woke up early to wish me a happy birthday but he wasn't around, he had gone for his early morning jog when he got back, he didn't as much as look twice at me after he answered my greetings.
Until my mom said "Today is Dupe's birthday" then he said "which Dupe" and we all looked at him.
Then he finally remembered and said "Oh! Happy birthday my star" blah blah blah
I was sad, devastated and totally unhappy until my mom explained to me that he's not good with dates, it's not like doesn't care or is indifferent, he's just not a "birthday person"
She said he hardly remembered hers even when they were courting
He doesn't even remember his until you remind him, we'll be like "Happy birthday daddy" and he'll go "Oh Today's my birthday wow, thank you very much"
(Organizing a surprise birthday party for him will be very easy)
The only reason he remembers sometimes (and that's once in like 5 years) is because its the same date with his wedding anniversary so its too significant not to be remembered once in a while.

Then I understood
Its not like he doesn't care or doesn't have a good memory, he's just not a "birthday guy"

Fast forward to today, I'm supposed to be super excited, I mean particularly because my birthday is in 5 days time but I'm not.. Weird
I'm just here, not psyched like I used to be in the past
I'm grateful for life and the many things I've achieved this past year, but I'm just not excited about this year's birthday .. If I were to have a cake, I doubt if I would even have the enthusiasm and strength to blow out the candles. Yes, it's that bad.
I now understand my daddy's plight.
Well, I concluded yesterday that I would be a great mom, my kids will have awesome birthdays while they're still excited about birthdays before they get to this weird "maturity" that kills every excitement you had as a child. 

To everyone that is still psyched about birthdays, I envy y'all, enjoy it and I pray it lasts

Also to everyone December born, we're awesome! Yes we're amazing! Particularly Sagittarius ♐

Specially to everyone that shares my birthday, December 11th we're amazing, I mean literally, we're the coolest...

Happy birthday to every December born in advance, in arrears and whatever
Ok bye, I need to go and take my bath and get prepared for school ⌚.
❤❤

P.S: Don't mind my random pictures
Made a new hair , I'll share in my next post, see you next Tuesday or on Sunday (My birthday)

SOUL INTERCOURSE

Hi dolls, its another Tuesday and today I'm dropping something different. I'm not good with poems but a few people motivated me to do this.

I hope you enjoy it, feel free to leave comments and corrections

     Dupe Sarah -Mo'-

To My soul friend . . . 👫💕

Before fate brought you my way,
I was lonely, not alone but lonely,
There were so many people around me
But no one with me

I lived in my own little world
Praying that one day, I'd find someone like me
I walked through people
But none walked through me

I held on to my crazy thoughts
Like a child clings to it's mother
The stars were my friends at night
During the day, I had no friends

I had made discoveries
But had no one to share them with
Everyone thought I was crazy
"She'll die lonely" they said

    Then you came my way...

The male version of me
Bursting out of nowhere,
Walking directly towards me
Looking through me

I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
The only things I've learned
And mastered so well

But you came for me
You held my arm
You looked into me
You squeezed my hands

You were exactly like me
Only that the creator, benevolently added boldness to you
You understood my pains,
My strengths, my weaknesses

Your eyes promised so much
To be my friend
To share my thoughts
To hold my hands

Your eyes said it all
You'd be there for me
You'd never leave me
We'll walk through life together

We spoke very little
But our souls were in constant communication
Our souls were aligned
Our souls merged

Then I knew who you were
My soul's twin
My dream come true
My best friend
   

          Your soul's twin 👫
