H2O
I'm more watery than women under the skin altho' my body's composed of 6 chemical elements within and all that remains to go with the flow is approx. 60% H2O and the gravity of the situation maintains if I stand on my head or hands or do cartwheels (head under heels) (tho' I prob'ly shouldn't oughta) on the cranium I'll have water (hydrocephalus) then again who knows how else would I...

The Niger In Our Delta
Noon, we’re marching on our fields Inwards, our river brings forth her blessings Grin, while you’re mining off our seas Explore, don’t wash the sediments off our shores Reflect, while you smile to repay our deeds Don’t dim the sunny side of our land Endangered, but our sons strive with pains Lost, but we found the light to illuminate our...

Excitement filled the air as the calliope played News spread the famed steamboat was near, Its whimsical gingerbread trimmings displayed. The whole town would rush to the esplanade As the wildly anticipated boat pulled into pier, Excitement filled the air as the calliope played. If an overnighter, folks walked the promenade, Marveling at its size and the exquisite exterior Its whimsical gingerbread trimmings...

The Armageddon In the Niger Delta
*THE ARMAGEDDON IN THE SOUTH* Blessed with inestimable reservoirs Countless traps sealing gas yet untouched Seated on wealth beyond its numbers Wealth to sustain their tenth generations Enough to feed the glutton of the deserts Favoured in Powerful wealth and health With the waterways opening to heaven's gate Numbers small enough...

Environmental Pollution
The release of the naked sword of marine oil spills From the window and door of offshore platforms drilling rigs, From the arena of natural oil sips to execute our living meals. Petroleum hydrocarbon spreading its tentacle to the coastal shores, Crops behold their departures And sudden death is sure. Painful is oil torture, Holding to ransom our farming culture, As...

Premium Member Twenty-Twenty
Twenty-twenty, why didn't you abide by centuries-old rules required to exist? Why was it prudent to run and then hide; protocol, you felt, was there to resist Painfully we hid and Earth hung her head, as Covid invaded, flaunting with flair.
