COMFORT HER PAINS by Tydale Abigail

#365daypoetryforadvocacyandsocialchangechallenge

Go ink the writer's pride!
Write out all her joys that is now sad
Be sure to show simply clear
How religion has quarreled with her
Tell every kindred of the books
That they must write to comfort her pains

Cry loud you people's consciences!
Cry so that your tears can sail the paddles of hard 'heartedness'
Wash them from their heads to the sole of their feet,
So that they can remember how wicked their good decision is
And bid them to comfort her pains

You who are fathers of the law!
Have you not seen how broken your rigid seals have become?
Did you not agree that we have the freedom of religion?
Go now to the tormentors of Leah
And teach them the law that will comfort her pains

Fellow friends and free peoples!
Tell Leah now that you have no hand in her plight
Say no comforting words,nor make loud cries
Do not forget how her feeble strength has given you great courage
Now, rise up to the goodness of your battered thoughts
And take actions to comfort her pains

Pray,you Christians of the Nigeria soul !
Pray with fervent faith for the feeble Leah
Let your prayers shake the entries to her hostile home
And scatter the scourging squad of her enemies pride
Tell the Holy Spirit through your answered prayers
To go and comfort the pains of Leah

To you little Leah !
Stand firm and dare not shift
Make more noise from your Heavenly melodies
Show strong strength from your weak body
And teach your heathen captors once and for all
That you can comfort your pains

Tydale Abigail is a Spoken Word Poet, who has a wild fascination with the cross, a Critic, Bard and Historian.

LESSONS FROM TWENTY SOMETHING(s) by Veralyn Chinenye

1, Stop Counting people's blessings ~ It is interesting to admire your friend's success, but don't try to compare and contrast, you're different persons and your paths have been mapped out. When the temptation to compare especially on bad days fingers my eyelids, I pull out my gratitude journal and write out five things I'm grateful for. It could be as little as being able to keep to time or even for being mentioned in a good will comment by a friend. Being grateful opens us up for more. 2, Try Leadership and Politics ~ I think there are two different things, one is seen as good and the other is seen as bad. The mention of the word "politics" get us grabbing our bags, and the mention of "leadership" gets us spreading our clothes in the open. My involvement in both has impacted my life and my dealing with others. I see both as siamese twins. Politics makes good leadership and Leadership makes good politics. You should try it! ...

Miles from Independence by Tydale Bassey Abigail

Day87 #365daypoetrychallengeforadvocacyandsocialchange Our cloths have torn Our hairs grown bushy Bones emaciated and legs swollen Muscles displaced And our vision discouraged... The path behind us looks abandoned by haggard legs, Bushy as if untrodden See, our babies have died Our kids starved Our boys imprisoned Our girls raped Husbands and wives betrayed And the aged disappointed... Yet the eyes of our polity bulges like the blind statues of Nok Culture We used to have hopes, But they are now tired in the arms of abortion The promises of independence have become stillborn; Mutilated with the bamboo of corruption. Even the wishes that once painted our eyelids Are beginning to wear away Yet the senses of our constitution have breathed only heat on the sore skins of our destinies The song of the national flag has become the loudest noise sung by toothless leaders; A pirate declaration to our unity in diversity Our capital cities are plinths...

FACELESS

She, with her gentle smile, crafted carefully to hide the storm that raged within. He, with his quiet strength, a mask worn to protect the brokenness inside. Both survivors of a pain that had no name, no face, but lingered like a shadow in their hearts. They told her to endure—because girls are resilient, aren't they? They told him to be strong—because boys don’t break, do they? But what they didn’t know was how deep their wounds ran. How the darkness of night wrapped around them both, suffocating their dreams, Or how the silence became their companion, as they each learned to carry the burdens of their untold stories alone. She tucked her tears beneath layers of laughter, her voice fading into whispers no one seemed to hear. He buried his shame beneath an armor of indifference, pretending that nothing could touch him, even as the weight pressed down harder. They were different, yet so much the same. Two souls, marked by trauma, bound by a shared truth: that pain knows no gender. I...
