A plot had been made to take away the life of my parents,
At exactly 00:00 hours, I heard a loud bang at the southern part of our homestead,
Within a blink of an eye, I heard a loud shatter of window panes, accompanied by a deep scary voice of a burglar,
“I have given you two minutes to open the door, or else I will burn your house to ashes!..”

Echoes of My Mother’s Tongue ✍️
The world is full of great and phenomenal women, but not a single one has ever surpassed the greatness of a queen I know!
A queen that protects her territory like a lioness does to her cubs, when it gets tougher in the jungle,
A woman whose love surpasses that of a hen to her little ones, scratching by any means to feed them,
Respected, adored, praised by her husband Infront of great congregations, for sure she’s a virtuous woman!
Nothing To Smile About 💔
Rays of an angry morning sun smothers upon the sandy valleys,
Monitor lizards, squirrels and lizards are hibernating, the leafless trees offer a better resting environment,
I can hear a cluster of ageing men murmuring about the worsening situation as they trail along the dusty village road,
One of them proposes that they should slaughter a youthful white lamb as a sacrifice to the angry gods,
A Village of Sorcerers
For a toddler to survive up to the age of seven is a miracle that will forever be told in history,
Evil and scornful eyes of socereres’ hang around the village tall trees,
Seeking to devour every young soul within, born or unborn, “dreadful killers of the east!”
Agents of the fallen angel, Lucifer, work hand in hand with the cursed generations of cattle, birds and beasts of the sea,
A Child of Hope 🌤️🙇
Let me squeeze a drop of blue ink in a trough of sparkling clean spring water,
Allow me to speak a few words about the author of Little Strings of Poetry, just stay with me a little while longer,
Here is a coach that bears a comfy sponge to lean on, sit, take also a cup of milky tea and comfort your soul, it’s really chilly over here,
I was born two months before time, on the seventh month of pregnancy and toil, labour pains strangled my mother,

Grandpa, Our Great Warrior 👮🏽
He clears off his throat three times to incorporate his dying voice to life,
We are eager to listen to today’s episode, all eyes and ears open to receive his live broadcast,
He started, with his lips shivering, “Greetings my lovely grandchildren, today I’m going to tell you one of the greatest stories that impacted my life.
She Left When I Needed Her Most 😭
She slid in my Dm, she went further to explain herself citing how I had given her sleepless nights,
But who I’m I? Since i was sailing in an island of loneliness and dry spell, i gave in to her love charm! And the love story began,
I used to sacrifice my off days to go and meet that daughter of soil, i was drunk in love,
This went on until the company decided to let go of me since my concentration at work was wanting!
Signs of The End of Age🔥
But there’s a sweet promise that he who will endure the trials up to the end shall be saved,
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Therefore be watchful brethren, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming,
For if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have stayed awake and barred the burglar from beaking into his house,
So, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect, just like a thief in the midnight!!!
Strokes That Made Us🤭
Hold on, there’s this day i will never forget, I and my two brothers decided to follow our own rules, we woke up early before cock crow,
We wore our school uniform in darkness to avoid unnecessary commotion and softly sneaked out of our bedroom,
We didn’t even take breakfast, we avoided anything that would drag our little legs back, we couldn’t afford missing out of the phenomenal games day,
No one among us was a participant, we were among the hundreds of cheerleaders that turned up on the material day,
