Kings in Our Right

-




Kings. Queens. 


We are called differently

Different people, different cultures,

Amazons in giant and dwarf bodies,

Royalty each and every one of us in our right! 


For the Igbos will always say,

N'ibu eze bu na be gแป‹!  


That your are king, is in your home! 


Thus you can be a cleaner, a doctor, a plumber...

You can be a carpenter, a painter, a lawyer....

You can be anything there is

Provided it enhances humanity, 

And yet be king, in your own right! 


Seeth never a clown that became known through out ages? 

Has history nothing about success 

And the various people that have marked their names in sands of time? 

All these people, were they all called the same way? 


So why strive to be what you are not? 

Why trouble thyself to be number 2, 3, 4, 5...

When you can be number 1? 

 001 in your right! 


Or you think the creator in his omniscient wonder 

Was stupid to have said to earth, 

"Oh thou earth be ye colourful!" 


Therefore I say to you,

Darling, be you. 

Follow your instinct. 

Listen to the voice of the spirit that brought you thither,

Your chi. 

Because no matter what you are, 

You are king in your own right.

The love not requited: here is what you don't know

  Long post alert! Sorry guys, I tried to make it shorter, but the thoughts...they just won't stop coming.๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ ........................................................................... Hmmmm...(sad face) how do I even start? On my way out today to where I went to, I was really excited to share what I have on this with you guys, but then, I unfortunately came back not the same. I came back sad. Something very trivial but still significant had made me sad. It even almost affected my mental health; almost wanted to make me feel less, but then, I told myself, "Ugoo, you have come too far to let some other person's action make you feel this way. You remember what you promised yourself? Never to let anyone make you feel less? Never to allow anyone gloat over you? No baby, it's not part of the agreement. It doesn't matter whether what the person did was right or wrong, intentional or not intentional, but you just can't feel this way. You are way better than ...

  Today, I was going to make a post whose subject matter would have bothered on, “choose to be happy no matter what life throws at you (in extension, choose to succeed against all odds).”  But then, it occurred to me, I could only think this way because I have the privilege of choosing. What about the people who sincerely can’t choose? Like the young lady I saw one day on my way to Ebenebe, whose whole mouth is painfully blocked by a giant,malignant, tumour? Or the people permanently made unaware of anything else asides the pain that comes from the ailment of body/life which they suffer? Pain is in grades. And though neither of the grades invalidates the trauma of one another, it’s still true that some people suffer more than others.  Thus, for this reason, I would rather put it this way, if you can afford to be a chooser, especially career and “relationship” wise, but you are currently depressed because you seem to be making no headway, here are important things to note:...

Love (video)

It's in the little things. The way you ask "are you well?"  With the look of concern on your face When my face seem clouded with worry.  The way you reach out to catch me, And look into my face without saying a word, When I misplace my step and want to fall.  The way you hold me, Gently on the shoulders to say, "Kedu?"  When I give you a soft nudge  On your chest or tummy, As a way of greeting.  Ayee, It's in all the little nothings that are bigger all things. It's in the way you care.  The way you listen.  And even though I won't deny that sometimes  I do want to kiss you,  I think that these little nothings  Are what love is all about.  Ugoo.  19/08/2023.
