YES, I AM A WOMAN By Itohan Ekle

Yes, I am a woman,
But I am also human.

Yes, I am a woman,
But I possess a free mind.

I am a true one,
With stories of perseverance,
That has stretched across generations.

I might be a woman,
But I won’t be society’s crude,
To refine and sell however they deem fit.

I won’t accept the sexist…

She Evolves

She Evolves, a movement born
A call to action, a heart that’s sworn
To be the change, to make a stand
To nurture growth, with a gentle hand.

A Tree Planted is a story told
Of dreams and hopes, of a future to mold
With every seed, a vision takes root
A symbol of strength, a…

If I Die Young

If I die young,
Bury me in satin,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Conceal all my bruises with the smell of tears,
Send me away with words of deception
And dare not say I was a good person

I don’t need anybody to amplify what a failure I was
I had the demons…

POEM: Church, Money and Pastors

Church, my safe space
Church, my home ground
Church, my pillar of strength

Pastors have taken over
Pastors have changed it all
Pastors have seen the gap

The Quiet Hum Of Life

In the quiet hum of life’s embrace,
We grow, we learn, we find our place.
Maturing with each gradual step we take,
Accountable for all misadventures we make.

With tender hands, we hold the ones we love,
Beneath the setting suns, a 💯% and above.
Our umbilical bond, the fuel that lets us live.
A mutualistic…
