Abiku
Why has the gods turn their back against me?
why have they turned my light to darkness?
mixing my joy with exceeding sorrow
giving me a spice of hope but of a sudden
clouding it with a winter of despair
***
My womb inflates and deflates
yet nothing joy came forth
I guess my womb has become the breeding home of Abikus
***
I delivered Siwoku
but he didn’t last till cockcrow
I gave birth to Matanmi
but he didn’t stop deceiving me
***
Malómó
why have you kept to the word of your spirit friends?
why don’t you behold my teary eyes?
why don’t you see reasons behind my obfuscate smile?
***
Why did you hearken to the word of our fend?
Why don’t you say a goodbye to your spirit friends?
Why don’t you tell them you want to live and explore a new world?
***
I’m seeing you a thousand yet the first time
series of marks on your mild skin
but you refuse to abound
My brea$t milk yearns to be sucked
My back yearns to carry you
My mouth can’t wait to sing lullabies to your tiny ears
but you went back to the spirit world
***
A world of joy in sorrow
A world aimed to give agony
A world of parents are scorned
A world where happiness is derived when parents wails.
This Is Serious. A Pathetic Story Of A Mother Of Abikus
