Reflection- It Could Be You.

Not my Mate.

So recently, there was a lot of pressure of different kinds. It was so chaotic that I broke down in tears😭. After crying to my satisfaction, I cleaned my tears, watched a movie while eating to replenish my lost tears. My mentor said I have no mate in this life so I should not be pressured by anyone about anything or any situation.
So in case if you see me relaxing at work, just know that I have no mate biko.... 😊 😁

WHILE MEN SLEPT
While men slept, Evil took over
The innocent suffered
The young dreams aborted
The women wept

While men slept, our hope was buried
Scammed, bruised and disappointed
Our voices buried deep in the soil
And our mandate stolen

While men slept, promises were broken
Equity and justice took a flight
Our hearts shattered into pieces
Our tears uncontrollable yet ignored

While men slept, the wicked triumphed
Having planned and taken our voices
We were asked to go to court
A place we have no confidence

While men slept, the majority was disenfranchised
Our peaceful protest was tagged disruption
Our concerns kicked under the carpet
The people were denied their power

unfortunately not everyone shares this belief, hence the natural hazards we see today, the rate of deforestation and desertification is becoming alarming and the innocent plants and animals dying every day is disheartening. You are a different human, and we cannot appeal to them but having someone who can is a very big help for us.
As I watched Mazula talk, I could feel its pains and I began to understand the effect of the human actions against the animal and plant kingdom. I had promised to do my best. Planting trees anywhere I can and rearing animals for posterity.
I was shown around the enchanted forest and I took time to understand and admire the beauty of nature, found out its secret and as well enjoy the serene environment. It was too beautiful to be abandoned. The sparkling river flowing at the middle of the forest reflecting like mirrors and to think pearls, seashells and other aquatic treasures were there in abundance. I got to really understand that God did not just create the heavens and the earth but brought paradise to earth.
As I walked through the forest admiring the beautiful marigolds, ixora, roses and lilies I started wondering why nature holds some many mysteries, I turned to ask Mazula about the secret mysteries of nature and felt cold water dripping on my face, as I raised my hand to wipe it , I heard that familiar sweet voice.“Adanna, stand up, your mates have gone to the river”, I stood up and realised it has all been a dream, my mother Ugodiya stared at me as if I had gone crazy because I started crying. She knew me to be a lover of nature and how happy I am to go to the river, hence, her confusion.
How could I start explaining to my mother that I had been in dreamland, and a beautiful one at that? How I saw a magical creature and the assignment I was given, my village is not even Amapu but Umudim, and I am not Emerald but Adanna Uzondu. I stood up, cleaned the house and took my bucket as I headed to Uzoaro river.

I followed in a slow pace until we got to a waterfall I never knew existed in Amapu since my twenty-three years of existence on planet earth. Passing through the water fall brought me to the most beautiful place I had seen in my life; words cannot describe the beauty before me. I saw different beautiful flowers with fragrance lovelier than the perfumes used by humans. The rose petals were reflecting as if they were made from diamonds.
The unicorn called me again “Emerald”; I was shocked to discover that an animal had the ability to speak and the fact that it called me by my name was mind blowing. Then the next thing it said shocked me the more, it had recited the following lines:
Ever wondered why the sky is blue?
Ever pondered why the plants are green?
The gentle breeze from the east
Moving down elegantly to the west
These are the beauties of nature.

The sweet melodies from the birds
The nice fragrance of beautiful flowers
The rays of the beautiful sunlight
Complementing the calm beauty of the moon
These are the beauties of nature.
I stood transfixed like a mannequin wondering where all these was leading to, understanding my dilemma, it went ahead to explain “I am Mazula, princess of the enchanted forest. I know you are surprised about my ability to talk and my knowledge of you and the human world. I am a magical creature that has been hunted by many but unable to be captured. I picked interest in you because you are a lover of nature, I have seen the way you take care of plants and animals, the tender loving care you distribute, the things you considered little or unimportant as you did them really meant a lot for us all. The beauty of nature lies in the care of our common home which is the earth.

As I walked through the footpath on my way to the stream, I heard it clear as the beautiful morning, the whispers from the beautiful plants by the footpath “Emerald”; I turned around to ensure I was not in my world of imagination again. Seeing no one around or animal nearby, I concluded it was just an imagination. But as I took three more steps down the sloppy hill, I heard it again “Emerald” the same gentle sweet voice, clear as the first time. I got scared and felt goose bumps all over my body.
Gathering the courage I never knew I had, I asked “who are you?”, as expected I got no response. I was gripped by fear when I did not hear nor see anyone. I would have gone back but knowing there was no drop of water left in the house, I gathered the courage to go down to the river.
Getting to the river which is a part of the great Urashi lake, I found no one there which was unusual. I noticed the slow and steady movement of the water waves, the still and calm environment, even the fishes seemed to be dancing to the movement of the water as they enjoyed the soft rays of the sun shining directly on the river.
I fetched my water and turned to go, then I saw it; elegant and glamorous, yet still has the perfect definition of purity and humility. I have only seen and read about them in the books I saw in the big cities. Amapu my village has few schools and no library so I always read at any opportunity I get to visit the big city
Seeing it there with that endearing figure; that could melt the heart of anyone even a cannibal. I realised it was more beautiful than the books had described. I wiped my face twice to be sure it was a reality, because I could not understand what a unicorn would be doing in Amapu, an insignificant village in Africa. I stood watching it; it beckoned on me to follow and I did, forgetting to take my senses with me. I wonder what my senses could do in the presence of such a beautiful creature.

The very first day i saw her, i was lost in thoughts and confused on how to start. I couldn’t believe that a renowned player like me could be tongue tied when it concerns a woman. I was still battling with the words to use when a young handsome man walked into the restaurant and hugged her like they have been separated for years.
I felt my world and dreams crash. For the first time i hesitated making a move, i felt like the worst loser ever recorded in the history of the world. Chuks couldn’t stop laughing as he saw the expression on my face. I felt humiliated and wished i could hate her for giving chuks the opportunity to make mockery of me, but how can one hate such an angel. She had the smile that could make a man dream of fairytales. Her eye brows were the loveliest i have ever seen, her eyes catlike, and her pink luscious lips tempting, I felt I could kiss them till Christ comes. She had a perfect white dentition and her slim curvy body complimented the ebony colour of her smooth skin.
I have never seen anyone this perfect nor thought there could be such black and natural beauty in this century. I felt she must be the last of her kind, which made me suspect she might be a mermaid on a mission. I discarded that idea immediately because my heart refused to believe so, the beauty before me is more of an angel than a demon.




Not your regular love story... stay tuned.

NOT A ROSE.
Catchy nor fancy am I
Too simple I have been described
Little or no respect do I get
Cause I played the fool most of the time

Everything they hated, I stood for
Everything they wanted, I disliked
Beautiful and glamourous were they
Like a rose they were admired by many

Perfect bodies, perfect shapes
Designer clothes, bags and shoes
Stylish expensive hair a finishing touch
And a snotty attitude to match

I am not a rose, am like the ixora
Toughed by the harshness of the world
A deliberate increase in beauty with growth
Flourishing in the rain and surviving the heat

I am not a Rose, very fragile and light
Admired and possessed when alive and fresh
Tramped upon and discarded when dying
Immediately replaced to keep up appearance

I am not a rose, loved only in bloom
Being used by many like a fool
Singing praises like a rule
When used by men to woo

I am not a Rose, torn, broken and used
To fulfil selfish desires of men
I am not a rose, adored in mockery
Punished for crimes I didn’t commit and hearts I didn’t break

I am not a rose, of rare beauty and elegance
Considered a queen with no kingdom
Enticing and enchanting in appearance
With thorns as a hidden weapon for protection,

I am not a rose, if I were but a flower
I crave not for fame nor power
But like from the height of a tower
I spread love like a shower

I am independent, steady and confident
I need not prove myself again
I do not envy the rose at all
Sad and forgotten at the drop of the last petal

sometimes in life, we meet with people for a particular reason at a particular time. When the reason for that season is accomplished, we should be brave and bold enough to let them go.
