FATHERLAND

FATHERLAND

We are alike yet different

Diverse but with one intent

One purpose, one goal

One breath, one soul

Like scattered splinters

IT'S A ONE WORD 2

We paused what we were doing to make sure we'd heard right, discussions suspended, the hustle and bustle of getting ready for a new lecture temporarily dismissed, notes and materials debarred from completing  their voyages from bags. She repeated herself "I say hope you are enjoyed your holidays". All doubt was cleared, the problem wasn't our auditory anatomy, it wasn't a chance gbaguan, it was deliberately conceived, packaged and delivered, standing before us was a master sheller, and we were about to be blown apart.

An excited murmur passed through the class as looks and words summarized to "did you hear that?!" were exchanged. People like me picked up their pens and recorded the new entry in a special dedicated notebook labeled "gbaguan inventory".

My Book Story 1

me, aged 15, just fresh out of secondary school, single, seeking admission, going through changes, friends far away...

Back we fell, to our old folks' shelter

Now you know why I woke up late, guess I come alive in the night time, but you don't know what my eyes beheld in the kitchen, it was unusual.

FALLING AND RISING

Falling and Rising

*We don't rise to fall, but we fall to rise.*

Fading into nothingness,
The void from which I came
Lost in the emptiness
Of an expansive milky way
At least I shone tonight
