THE WOMAN I HAVE BECOME (FEATURED POST)

Having studied circumstances surrounding the world of women..... The gender insecurities, abuse, responsibilities, Feminism, the African belief of "Women belong to the kitchen", gender discrimination, strengths and flaws, the struggle through childhood to old age.... To mention but a few.

I decided to come up with a poem which summarises all the experience in the words "The woman I Have Become ". I'm not writing in appraisal or discrimination, but in realisation.
Happy women's day.
I'm so proud to be a Woman.


The Woman I have Become

So much for a child,
So much for a girl,
So much I have seen,
So much I have experienced,
So much that hurts a while,
So much I seem to overcome,
So much I look back on,
So much I wished would change,
So much I wished would remain,
So much in this I was engulfed,
So much I have become.

Life has taught me a lot
Life nurtured me along,
Life gave me a little that counts so much,
Life hurts me to heal me,
Life broke me to build me,
Life tortured me to strengthen me.
Life left me to appreciate life.

With time I discovered a lot......
Those "so much" counts less,
Life was the love around me,
I have to let go to move on,
Appreciate the ones that care,
While they still are around.
I have to love to be loved.
I have to quit dreaming & strive for it.
Look beyond the "IFs" of life.
Learn to appreciate God & his plans.
Stand against the cruel world I am in,
Fight the good fight of faith.
And if anyone questions this,
My simple reply would be.......
This is **The Woman I Have Become*l*

Mad men have sense

''One of the most important lessons of my life I have learnt from a mad man, yes a mild non-violent lunatic if there is anything like that. Anybody familiar with Awolowo Avenue old Bodija around 1999 will know Brother Wasiu, some people call him Londoner, He is always going about the street politely begging for five naira. “Brother e joo e fun mu ni 5 naira” meaning bros please give me 5 naira. He is always well dressed and polite, I bet you will be willing to give him I had sometimes heard a rumour that he was formerly in the UK and was conjured home by his family magically, this eventually had effect on his sanity. While I cannot authenticate the story, I can confidently say he was a very polite mad man. On this faithful day as I was standing in front of the gate of my Uncle’s house, Brother Wasiu passed bye soliloquising, he eventually turned to me and begged for the usual five naira, unfortunately, I had no five naira change with me, so I told him I have no money, at least
