An Ode To My Mother
Sing a million praises to my Mother.

But stepmother’s shade cast darkness on…
Kago’s Story Expressed Through Poetry: ALREADY LOVED
I am the sting in your strong coffee,
I burn habitual liars’ tongues.
They don’t even feel good between the thighs anyway.
This poem is a melody of praise
