If you give the government the power to feed your family, you also give them the power to starve your family.

Condom sex doesn't count.....think about it, if you wash your hands with gloves on, did you really wash your hands.

Don't ADAPT to the energy in the room, INFLUENCE the energy in the room.

Fatherhood didn't make me who I am, Fatherhood showed me who I am.

Barren 

Do you have to call a woman 
Barren?
Do you really have to?
What if it’s not her, 
Maybe it’s a man’s issue?
But today’s society 
We can’t put that on men…
We got ourselves believin 
Men ain’t the problem…
Somehow 
Their pride pushes that harsh truth 
To the side 
So is guilt….
They chose their sidechicks 
Makin them believe their babies 
Are theirs…
Another crazy part
Is those mothers 
Boy moms
Invade their sons’ marriages 
Tellin their wives you can’t bare 
My son a child…you are no good 
And the husbands don’t say shit…

This is where 
You fumble a great woman 
Cos she has sacrificed for you 
She has built with you 
How you pay her is 
Humiliation rituals….
And when she’s gone for good, 
You’ll come back when it’s too late…

And you see 
She’s not barren 
She has babies with 
Her new husband who respects her…

You found out 
That the other woman 
Was fuckin another man 
And has his baby…
It’s not yours….

The issue was you
All along….
It’s not always the woman….
Sometimes it’s the man
Patriarchy plays too many roles 
In these situations all the time….
There’s shame when you found out 
You’re not the father 
Yet you knew you had an 
Issue…nobody’s barren…

Barren is an unkind word….

Men with their legacy 
Men with wantin sons 
Y’all must need to be honest 
With yourselves….
If yall can’t produce 
And it hurts so bad 
Would y’all go to therapy 
Before ego ruins things?
Y’all can adopt
Or In your minds 
Children has to have my bloodline?
Also, would you take care of 
Your kids?

Cos 
If y’all  let that ego 
Ruins your marriages,
For your lifetimes,
Y’all would say 
“I shouldn’t let 
That wonderful woman go….
I should have adopted 
I should have been 
A good husband…
I’m extremely lonely 
I’m divorced 
No woman is like her 
I even let my mom be involved 

Now 
She left me 
Married another man 
Have beautiful babies 
She’s not the problem 
I realized i am…
She cut me off
This is my consequences…”

Y’all live somewhere 
Someplaces in the dark 
Thinkin about your ex wives
So called “barren”
It’s what y’all get 
For lettin your whole damn pride 
Gets in the way…..

A voice 
A voice warned you 
But your stubbornness 
Said shut the fuck up…

And it leads you to 
This uncomfortable solitude….

Again, 
Honest question…
Would y’all go to therapy 
Before ego gets the best of you?
Before you find out the sidechick lie?
Y’all can’t be restless….
Y’all can’t blame the wife….
Y’all gotta be mature about it 
And y’all have the right to feel the way….
However y’all don’t need to get 
Someone be all in your head with the foolishness…
Y’all don’t need to follow patriarchal society 
Also y’all gotta accept it or not
But y’all don’t need to blame the women…
Y’all don’t need to break your own homes 
Cos y’all can’t reproduce….
That’s unhealthy….

If this really bothers y’all,
Do somethin different 
Like volunteerin 
Children centers 
Or go find a group of men who are in the 
Same situation…
Somethin 
Maybe it might heal 
Y’all on the inside…
Y’all can do that before 
Y’all break your wives’ hearts….

African stories

African stories 
Are my soap operas 
Yes they’re way better than 
the ones you watched on tv 
Afternoon….
African stories 
Yea they’re on ai…
I prefer ai this way instead of 
Destroyin humanity…..
African stories 
I love them cos 
I love karma 
I love consequences 
For the wicked….
I love the morals 
And those principles…
It’s the reason I was too inspired 
To write my poems 
About heartbreaks
And movin on….
I do watch African stories 
On YouTube a little too much…
They’re like series of movies 
I can say what people go 
Through everyday….
Based on real life…
Based on their culture….
Ya not all tales are real…
Yet I can say 
Love and friendship 
Are facts
Cruelty is true…
And the lessons 
People learn the hard way 
Is the voice….
I have hope other people 
Will get inspired by these stories 
Encouragin them to do the right thing 
Especially when someone is goin through 
Betrayal….
Authors are givin their audience 
Somethin to heal…
Somethin to feel….
It’s their job to help others whatever they need….
That’s what writers do…
I’m a writer myself….
I give my readers a smile and wisdom…
And for African stories 
Even if they’re from the village 
Or South Africa 
Or Lagos 
Those great stories came from the heart 
They also came from the experiences…
Please keep bringin them 
I’m entertained 
I’m inspired….
