31st of December(NEW BEGINING)

I have wondered,
how one so intelligent like man-
treds proudly the parts of the beast.
It took 364 sunrises to catch a tiny-glimpse,
of those mysteries behind human uneven mentalities.
Every where I turn,I see yet do not comprehend,
the subtlety behind every disturbed imagination-
of a man who stands at his feet like the tree;
but roars its superiority like a raging lion.
The birds I know have wings.Not all can fly.
Then why should we believe in love and peace,
when we hold on with iron-fist to our differences ?

Of this year, I have smiled at large
I have sang so loud,
I have seen with my eyes,
what my hears denied.
I have read stories of men and women,
and enjoyed playing with children.
All of these are my treasured memories
But the most beautiful of all
One that made everything so small
One that turned my world around:
I loved once and I loved again.

Bloody Men and Short Analysis

Bloody men are like bloody buses - You wait for about a year And as soon as one approaches your stop Two or three others appear. You look at them flashing their indicators, Offering you a ride. You're trying to read the destinations, You haven't much time to decide. If you make a mistake, there is no turning back. Jump off, and you'll stand there and gaze While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by And the minutes, the hours, the days. by Wendy Cope Short analysis and comments on this poem. At first glance, I thought this poem spoke the minds of generationsof single women. Then it occurred to me that it also could be applied to men. However, I would be writing from the perspective of women, who for no reason, are more affected by such fate. The first line harshly concludes the poem before it even starts and it is the anchor upon which the poem is held. It tells of the exasperation and sorrow men bring to women- single, and searching, desirous ...

A familiar story

A man came right up to me. He asked: "where are you from" "from France" said I unto him It was questionable for a man like him to interrogate a woman like me. Yet,it was an oppurtunity for me to discover the man behind the smile. He said "No!I mean where are you from?" Oh!I'm originaly from Nigeria.I said with a crooked smile "thats what I wanted to know" he snapped.And he continued "you may have a French passport but you are Nigerian" I looked upon him with a sense of familiarity and disappointment. After all, he was telling a kind of truth. For years,I have been told to give unto Ceaser what belongeth to Ceasar It came like a treason to realise that It would always be my deception. It was a thing to be born somewhere and another to belong. It surprises me to hear people question my good english because, as the man said "I went to Africa but I didn't understand what they were saying." I am sure he meant south-africa ...

poem III

I am When I was a child, mom used to say That I was as stunning as the day. She never told me anything less, then I met them from the west. Ignorance was so over-free. Nobody bordered on what was ill. Was it a crime to be beautifully black? I needed an answer but met refusal. I prayed all day and more on Sunday. Dreamed that an angel made my day, that I was universally loved with certainty; that his parents did not mind. Awake! But,why do people despise me? Looking deep down into his black eyes, His force sprung from his masculinity. He was Achilles. Only,his heel was his skin. He had to fight for freedom and esteem. My beloved, the creator is in your image. The soul is where the difference is staged. Because of who I am, I make an ally, And a bunch of potential enemies. Thus,with pleasure I am black! They could ask for redemption, As I owe them nothing. Believe me-My soul is as soft as a symphony. ©comfortomorodion 2007
