Only two hours before Christmas day,
Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

To the bride of Christ I pen this letter.

Aya Jesu
Nwanyi Chineke.

I see you wobbling your feet lazily.
Blissfully content with the comfort of this world.
Forgetting you were sent on an errand.
For this world remains a marketplace....

Bumping, swearing, hurrying, driving,
All because today is the thirty first

With the sweetest of messages

the blood stained the streets,

Bottled crushes, with a tight lid,
Asked out, 
Joy shout,

Their story of survival,
Choosing their words...
