Nobody's Business

I am a poet describing nature none of your busines if I have mansion or live in a teary hut curse me or spit on the sand I step on, i chose the life I live now Destiny choose me for this dream Its nobody's business what I do. I have known girls from the hood I have dated girls from the hood many I have made a public hole change their profile side-down-up and they're called unprintable names its nobody's business whom I choose to marry now and tomorrow. I have been to school and dropped out I studied medicine and no result I have always wanted to go to the sky crack it bodies and return home happy but mother rechannelled my legs, now, I have no route in life its nobody's business the life I live. I have no children to give me water My house is littered by lizards and Wallgecko describing dire poverty even if I feed from hand to mouth Leave me to my fate and eel destiny Life is but a dotted scars in hearts It's nobody's business to tell my tale. My father reek of bottles of beers He found home in gutters always My mother is a furnace religionist She found grace in arms of Bishops Don't mind what their children will be tomorrow or today, It's nobody's business to tell of their lives. Christians are ambitious catholic than Pope Francis of Roman catholic why wag your mouth here and there? why point your finger here and there? what is your business with their lives? Pull down the sun today if you like You have no business with their lives. I'll keep wandering and get lost in the Darkness, don't look for me like your lost country; it's none of your business Remove those things in your eyes before mine, I have no business with your businesses morning and night. I choose the life I will lead for today. I have no business with your businesses, no, I don't have any! Marry as many wives as you like Plenty your hair with fish hook Paint part of your mustach grey not my cup of tea to drink and get drunk I have my own headache to think of. Yours Poetically, ©John Chizoba Vincent
