She's a Woman By: Richiwrites

She's a Woman
A goddess
Fixer of all problems
Her Highness
You justify hitting her
You say it's highness
God's creation
The most perfect art
Beautiful but fragile
Strong yet weak
Best thing that can happen to you
Also the worst
She's not a toy nor a sand bag
She's like a juicy orange
Batter it and it turns sour
Neglect it turns sour
She refines you
Care and cherish it
You have a full tree
A generation of kids.

You piece of shit with potentials
Like black diamond
She makes her self low
To boost your ego
You ungrateful thing
You neglect her
You forsake her
Then you lift your hands
Filthy hands she refined
You hit her! You Hit her!!
You die when you hit her
You a living dead
You ain't diamond Nomore
You become coal
Black semi useful redeemable
Then You piece of shit
Again Hit thy Queen
You're done! Completely!!
Useless! Completely!!
You become soot.

Black and disgusting
Trash is where you belong
Amidst the dirt and dust
You forget everything
Everything she said and done
Blazing flames and gnashing of teeth
Pain unimaginable pain
Deepest parts of hell
Job's plight, loss of sight
Little of what you deserve
She is Beauty
She is Life
Never hit her
She is wealth
Please adore her
She's emotionally weak
But stronger than you think
Never ignore her
She is a goddess
Worship her.

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
