My wife travels to neighboring countries to procure goods for sale. What if she has a boyfriend(s) that she sleeps with at the border - Customs, just to pass through the border effortlessly?."</div><div><br></div><div>"My wife has her life to live, and I do also. I don't want to have high blood pressure, in case my assumption comes to be one day. I like you."</div><div> LIVING IN ASSUMPTION VS DENIAL</div><div><br></div><div>The problem, with the decline in integrity as the world advances, is not a phenomenon that came into existence outside human aid. Centuries, prior to the 21st century, can fairly boast of communal living, and integrity. In this generation, knowledge upgrades per second, and we join the flight in an instant. But the ultimate knowledge that we acquire pushes us to memorize more theoretical frameworks, but we barely adopt the goodness of our knowledge to better human relationships. </div><div><br></div><div>Nobody craves to be broken. Nonetheless, pain is part of humankind. But we try, to build shields of denial, to protect our hearts from the truth about our humanity. We want to demonstrate toughness in the eyes of others when it's okay to cry sometimes. We, want to prove that our life is clean, by ridiculing or judging another person. We strongly strive for every means possible, to hide the fact that we are ignorant about something, or a subject matter. So, we miss out on opportunities to learn, especially, from people who are younger, or who we consider to be lesser than we are. </div><div><br></div><div>We pre-plan techniques, that will deter suffering away from our life. Most times, we wander out of reality into the chasm of assumptions. Through this act, we live our life wanting people to live their own life, grow in ideas, and heal from pain, according to our own agenda. </div><div><br></div><div>Moreso, we sometimes infer, that cheating on our partner will numb our pain, mend our broken heart, and erase the account of betrayal that may spring forth from our partner, family, or friends. Whereas, revenge is another prison that imprisons the innocent. Especially, when the alleged guilty person is yet to commit the crime.</div><div><br></div><div>However, the reason we come to believe that love is not in existence is skepticism. Our fear, our history of pain, our selfishness, and ego, maimed our ability to love or trust ourselves. This darkness beclouds our minds so much, so, we come into the conclusion, that everybody is our reflection, or everybody should resonate with our own mindset. This is not to say that dishonesty, hatred, and betrayal are illusions in this world. It's just a call back to the truth. The world is broken because we are all broken. Living to extend the circle of damage, will not mend you but further breaks you. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What are you mending? </div><div>What are you breaking?</div><div><br></div><div>To be continued...</div><div><br></div><div>(C) 2020</div><div>Writer: Bakare Islamiyat Kemi</div><div>Nickname: Kemistree</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(Lifeexperience.com)<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
I'm not a Nigerian,<br />
Even though my accent sound like that of a Fulani cow boy,<br />
And my complexion differs not, from a talented Igbo lad<br />
I'm just a citizen of human race<br />
<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
I'm one of those angels<br />
Sent down from heaven,<br />
To help write about freedom with their pens.<br />
To deliver those in captive,<br />
To repair the brains of sadist<br />
And make the world halcyon.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
The evil they're doing<br />
Will lead to their early grave.<br />
For no sinner shall go unpunished.<br />
And theirs might be worst<br />
If they refuse to desist<br />
Since they find no means to resist.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
Black doesn't mean Bad,<br />
Even though they both begin with 'B'.<br />
So let's stop judging by complexion<br />
But by the content of character.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
My pen is philosophical,<br />
Penetrating deep into the heart of evil doers,<br />
Devouring your devourers,<br />
Tormenting your tormentors,<br />
Fighting your fighters,<br />
Deceiving your deceivers,<br />
Giving peace to peace makers.<br />
<br />
What if told you<br />
Those children in the slum<br />
Die every hour of malaria,<br />
Mosquitoes now their neighbours,<br />
Poverty waving in melancholy,<br />
Cholera beating the drum of bad breathe on them,<br />
Measles and acne smiling at them.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
Our hospitals are downtrodden,<br />
Schools fallen,<br />
Student engaged in malpractices,<br />
Laboratories no where to be found,<br />
Good teachers barely paid.<br />
Yet they need the students to be leaders of tomorrow.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
That our daughters suffered from excruciating pains,<br />
Their glory-holes become penetrating holes.<br />
They were raped in pains,<br />
Bounded with chains,<br />
Beaten with canes,<br />
By those wicked women traffickers.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
Our brothers who graduated with first class degrees,<br />
Hunting for job for the past six years.<br />
Yet ended up being bus conductors,<br />
Cos they were not given the chance to prove their intelligence.<br />
<br />
What if I told you<br />
Being nice to a girl<br />
Doesn't obligate her<br />
To be romantically attracted to you.<br />
Some are for the money,<br />
Whilst some needed to be horny.<br />
They may even call you honey,<br />
Whilst you're still moaning.<br />
But at the end they'll leave you mourning,<br />
While it's still morning.<br />

<br />
I had once wondered in the wonderland of imagination like every child to get embraced by you,<br />
To get cuddled when tears violate my eyes,<br />
To feel the warmth of you when the breeze of torture captures me.<br />
But mother, you remain invisible in your visibility.<br />
I was denied the milk to grow<br />
Men were forced to believe that kwashiorkor was my second name.<br />
I struggled with my upbringing.<br />
It was different from every other children.<br />
I could not even remember if I ever tasted your breast milk,<br />
But what has kept my growth to this peak<br />
Is the man-made milk called Peak.<br />
I had to live on injection not to be injected from this world<br />
My survival was by faith,<br />
Even when I never believed in my fate.<br />
Mama, you left without farewell to juggle justice,<br />
You never looked back to see if this boy would trend the path of survival.<br />
Mum, even when I try to picture who you are,<br />
I try as much as possible to set a craven image of you in my oblongata<br />
But the complexity of my brain never retained your picture.<br />
Mama, I don't even know whether to call you sweetie,<br />
Or to call you sugar.<br />
But I can only call you the invisible mother.<br />
Mother, I want you to know that I survived all.<br />
Mama, how I wish you can see what your boy has finally turned out to be,<br />
How I wish you know how crazily brilliant I have become.<br />
Mother, your boy has turned out to be super, He is now called the SuPerMan.<br />
Why you left is still mysteriously a mystery.<br />
Your blood still runs in my veins;<br />
So, you remain unchangeable Mama.<br />
I still desire our eyes will mash up One day.<br />
I promise to make you called the blessed because I am now the blessing.<br />
I want to shatter and batter you with smile you never had<br />
I want you to know that I just bought you the world.<br />
The world you've so much desired.<br />
<br />
When you see my invisible mum,<br />
Tell her, I'm waiting to behold her.<br />
<br />

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
It started with her newest husband.<br />
Whenever he is in the same room with my mother,<br />
Her screams and cries become quiet as the minutes tick by.<br />
The tell tales are the bruises,<br />
And coloured part of her skin<br />
__Though, she hides them well.<br />
<br />
I continue to see the same symptoms in my elder sister.<br />
And soon,<br />
It was my turn.<br />
<br />
My worst fear is if my juniour of two years,<br />
Sees the same symptoms in me.<br />
NO! my worst fear is when that brutal being<br />
Realises she is also a ripe female.<br />
<br />
We are helpless you say,<br />
But I do have a brother.<br />
My only wish is that,<br />
He grows fast enough,<br />
To realise our pain.<br />
AND FIGHT OUR BATTLES.<br />
➖➖➖➖➖<br />
<br />
ABD'QUDUS:<br />
<br />
A VICTIM'S ELEGY<br />
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖<br />
<br />
I'd thought death came sooner<br />
Until you, with the overpowering grab, sought under.<br />
Grotesque! Horror filled ! Gloom! were the memories left hanging as effigy<br />
After the involuntary one-night stand.<br />
I'd cried to the heavens,<br />
But my voice reached not even the stratosphere.<br />
I'd begged to be hanged instead, but the hangman was probably on sabbatical.<br />
lo! You forced in, taking more of my un giving self.<br />
You won; and my aching bones ached no more,<br />
my roaring voice turned whispers,<br />
Until my kicking appendages took final bow,<br />
Until I felt no more,<br />
Until I'd never feel no more.<br />
Wait, before you sheathe thy sword,<br />
Before you bury the rod,<br />
Before you conjure the devil:<br />
Aren't thee my father?<br />
You looked more like My uncle.<br />
You're similarly built as my brother.<br />
Oh, I'm mistaken, you're My bestie.<br />
What! My fiancé?<br />
No, you're my good neighbour?<br />
I'm sorry for the many guesses, the encounter might have left me with distorted vision.<br />
Maybe you didn't just rape me,<br />
Maybe you raped the whole of me!!!<br />
<br />
I ask: are you full now?<br />

Researches indicate that more than 70% of the perpetrators of this beastly act are people having close ties with the victims . We therefore must be watchful.<br />
I pray for the safety of our girls.<br />

A poem by Osigwe Benjamin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHAT IF?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What if I left</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the middle of a sucking night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And leave no foot prints</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To be retraced?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will my crafted pictures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still be in your heart?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What If doors after doors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are shut at my face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And at every turn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A hand waves (farewell)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will I be that same man</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You promised a part of your heart?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What If I got lost</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the battle field</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of forgotten memories</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where men embrace the unseen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And their souls are kissed by flying bullets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you wish to own me back again?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What if am an illusion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, well illustrated in your mind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you wish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To be forever drowned in illusion?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or what if</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bake you sweet words</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the depth of an insane mind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you wish for more words of mine?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But what if the world decides</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To feast on my skull</div>

Will you freely will me to them?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And what if these questions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are all rhetorics?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will you want them answered</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So you can be forever planted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my heart?</div>
