It's well within my handicap,
To try and outdo my peers,
Sometimes I receive nauseating jeers,
But most times I get a thundering clap;

I can't relate much,
Love is far from me,
Terrible at daring or lunch,
Or a warm evening by the sea;

They say I'm a savant,
An autistic with amazing gift,
Raised by my doting aunt,
She put in everything, and an extra shift.

Nature compensates.

DETACHMENT.

Separate yourself from your limitations,
Step back, can you see?
You lived a lie, all along,
Refusing to accept, what you can be.

Once is a while we all need that big hand.

THE FINAL SOLUTION. (1.)

If there be,
Then all would find,
Peace at the end,
But have we?

Nothing is everything for something.

LITTLE LIGHT.

She has become a shining star,
Now among the Cherubim,
And her wings, never far,
Rejoicing, always, with the Seraphim.

It's the most difficult thing for a parent to bury a child.

INFECTED. (1.)

The jump,
Nobody saw it happen,
They turned, all of a sudden,
Bodies falling with a great sad thump!

Finally, WHO declares the novel Wuhan coronavirus a global threat to world health as confirmed cases recorded in the United Kingdom.

Even the uninformed could have seen this trajectory and calculated that it would take less than a month for the virulent strain to reach every continent in earth.

Are we witnessing the first human population culling since the bubonic plague?

THE RESTLESS ONES.

Full of energy,
Bursting at every pore,
No, not one moment of lethargy,
Sunny bright at the very core.

Many youths of Nigeria origin living in Nigeria are disillusioned.

MY CONCERNS.

But why are women like this?
Mother never wants to let go,
Wife wants mother-in-law out,
In the middle, without a clue.

It's always a dicey situation in many African homes.
