Sister, sister

-
How can I go to the altar to sacrifice knowing that my sister is angry with me?
How do I apologise more than this?
I was cold
Yet u didn't cover me.
I was sick
And you paid me no face.
Even if there be animosity, can you find it in you to forgive?
My sister, my sister...I need you to cover me.

Without blood, I know there is no remission of sin...so if I shed my blood, will it make the difference?
All the sins I might have committed against you and all that you hold against me,
If I give you my whole life, will you be happy?
If I put my life in your hands, what will you do with it?
My sister, my sister, will you be my sister still?


What if
Every one of the causes were eliminated?
What if all the what if's were no more
And you could look at me and see me as I am?
What if you could look at me and see that I am the greatest fuckup there is and I need you to cover me?
If you don't always expect me to fall, would you not take your time to ask me questions?
Sister my sister...deep down, what is the problem?

If only u could see, you would know that what I do, I do in love...all I have not said, I didn't out of love...
If only you knew how much your joy means to me,
If only you could flash back to see the miles I went
Just to prove that to you....and to make you see that I would give it all up for love, for sisterhood.
Again, we are here, I would do it again...
And again...I just hope you do see
And do not always expect the worst of me.
My sister, my sister, ...here is my blood.
I shed it for you once again...
Love...knows no bounds...be happy...

Can I see the war?

-
There's a war out there that doesn't care about my feelings or struggles.  It is a war.  Its aim is to destroy. Frodo and company were chosen irrespective of their grievances.  They had to put sentiments and grievances aside to fight a common enemy. The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless. We must never forget that our fellowship was beyond us;  but divinely orchestrated for a purpose.  That should be enough for me. Again, The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else, the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless.

THE BEAST IN EVERY MAN

-
The beast is in every man All it waits for is an opportunity to present itself And the other side is manifested. It's so easily suppressed when opportunity is far Yet easy to point at another and criticize When his own opportunity is near. But time and chance happens to every man. What is in man will be made manifest. I have made this mistake far too many times. You have insulted me far more than anyone I have known. I can point to your speck because I have conquered my log. I have seen the beast in me and it is easy to recognize in another, even if suppressed. It is the way. The only way. It is the way of love. It is the way of empathy. It is the place of wisdom. It is never the place for knowledge. Knowledge still has a lot to learn without knowing it does.  Knowledge is light that has not become one with you. It is selfish. It puffs up. It thinks its way is the way things should be done. This is why it will always think it knows, and seeks for the praise of man...

The longest 2 weeks

-
20/10/2020 The date many will not forget in a while. A very significant date to many youths in Nigeria.  That was the day I put to bed. In the midst of that chaos, I had my own personal crisis. I had a c-section. And it was successful. I had my husband with me through the surgery.... I heard your voice telling me to stay awake. You said it repeatedly, "Babe. Please stay awake for me. I beg you. Please don't go to sleep". And you held my hand and soothed my forehead just to keep me calm. And it was all I needed at that time....or so I thought until I saw the tiny being that was just extracted from my belly, wrapped up in a green cloth and screaming at the top of his lungs. Then, I knew there was always room for more. All I felt at that instant was love and gratitude.  The wait to reconnect with you and the baby was a totally different process.  And then not being able to move for almost a whole day didn't make it any easier. Little did I know what was to come.  There ...
