Kambili

 Kambili.  The voice of one crying and shouting in void The echoing tone heard in the wilderness of time  An earnest appeal to humanity, to man. Kambili?  A persistent question from the restless mender of soul  Asking and whining and pining... Kedu mgbe oga ebe?  When will all the senseless killing and massacre, The brutal shed of brother's blood in cold murder, The endless hustle cum tussle of power, Coyly hidden under the shell of "Thus says our law, and so says the lord"  End? When will it all end?  The impulsive bring them down syndrome, Perfectly masterminded by the most trusteds  In  such stark betrayal that leaves you intoning, Even you Brutus?  Keduziano mgbe oga ebe?  Man's inhumanity to man?  Woman's inhumanity to woman?  Ndi kwe na ndi ekwena. Why do we abandon the fight against survival, Against hunger, Against suffering, To turn on ourselves?  Is it not enough that we are in this hell labeled life, C...

You are the deal.

   You are the deal. The real shit.  You. In dark and fair. Tall and white. Limping and walking. Talking and dumb. Whole and unwhole You are who you say are.  You are what you believe you are.  Maka Onye kwe, chi ye ekwe.  Why then let people turn you around, toss you about, up and down, right and left, back and forth, efe gi akwa!  Why let the mere words of a human like you,  Birthed from the same canal as everyone else, Cause you live miserably for life, Onyedi ka ha bu! Esi be fa eje be Onye?  What is the worst they can do?  Talk?  Na today we start to dey talk?  Nwanne, ife di oku ga-emachakwanu oyi.  You no get A no mean say your life don kpai! Because you fit C and you fit get Z, All get na get.
