My brain comes alive
Emblazoned with fire
My soul is enlarged
Bursting with greatness
—
My breast is full
Aching with pain
My heart breaks
Mother Earth painted in red.

The post I read from Inkbiotic inspires this poetry.
Great contrast.

I’m glad you think so. When you are in a country whose environment is crippling, a country that has the war threat over its head, then you can’t help it. Great minds are dying here, getting wasted… I don’t blame the Nigerians starting away from their father land.
