Man-made God


This man-made God, 
the politically-aware one. 
With pockets deeper than Rockefeller,
hungry for the change in your pocket.
,the 21st century alpha omega
he doesn't give his followers a book or ask for prayers,
 uses "likes" as a criteria for your piety. 
This new god that is so dynamic, ever-changing,
politically correct. 
he sits on boardrooms and lobbies for peace and blessings; 
accustomed to luxury. 
flies in jets and gives his love to the highest bidder.
forgiveness is auctioned, conscience-free.

he, the one whom oppresses women and rapes little boys,
pro-bloodshed; 
and depending on what he is selling, 
hell is conditional, on whether you're buying what he is selling. 
safe, as long as you can afford his heaven.
This god, the one whom insists you show-off how charitable you are on Facebook,
this Instagram god, 
the one who sitting with his diary, 
writing the names of those who scrolled past without giving him a like. 
This fancy deity, that is a PR god; whose name you can use in vain,
because publicity sells more than eternal life; 
his miracles; buy 2 get 1 free.   

this man-made god; a god made in man's image.

Never appreciated the value of that simple statement  until I woke up choking , in absolute seething anger , at family mostly .Because although I have mastered the 'outside people' , here I am , the 'outside people' to my inside people . And there is nothing I could do . My mum said never to use the word "hate" . It's ugly and cheap and so absolute . So here is my unlearned lesson; that loyalty must be given to family . No ! Loyalty , respect and all that is wanted must be given to those that earned it .

How to: Make Rice

As per rice, before the jollof Wisdom is your grandmother telling you to soak it for an hour, "experience" is your mother telling you to 3 table spoons of oil per cup, innovation is you using butter to fry the soaked rice first.  You're welcome!

Space off.

  We all need space. Just enough to let us grow, but not too much that you feel forgotten and left out. S easy to succumb to the charm. pain holds you back, and every night you're on your knees same prayer, "Make me bigger, my voice heard, a better day tomorrow". Tough night, tomorrow is the same, same fake smiles...but you're honestly trying but the scariest thing is remembering, fragments and pieces of a painful past you were too young to remember or know better. fuck this, another day ill deal with this shit, but when. All I have to make is a single phone call, get it off my chest, tell them that i remember now everything that they did, and you know better, but you're not doing it just for that. its because you need to grow . because maybe, just maybe the pain will stop and you can trust again, maybe even feel beautiful and carefree like you once did...damn! thats a long shot , but its worth trying right? but i never do, so every day i dont, a small piece of ...
