tWeNtY and FoUR

From birth,

heaven gave her word:

'His name shall be Momoh,

Momoh who in Aquarius born'

Judgement

that can only be gifted by heaven:

upon me the lord released,

making my life like a jewel shine

Then my father to me speaks:

'as you turn tWeNtY and FoUR

my favors well you'd enjoy

as with lavish and grace, i'd freely give'

To not too distant past I think,

remembering when life to me was ill. 

.......... THE TAP HEAD

At 9:00pm

the president on news came

I heard him say a slogan

‘save water: every drop matters’

I asked mother for a drink

and she said

'turn the tap head,

and pray that this time, water flows’

I look through window as I turn the tap head

and see water lavishly wasted

in fountains that never run dry

and sprinklers that wet green grass

I swear a tear escaped my eyes,

as I turned in disappointment from the tap.
