Abiku Poem by Emmanuel Damilare

With a great plan have I sojourn to this world
A plan to hurt my earthly parents,
To cause a non-lasting joy amidst them-
Through my purposeful death
And still coming back to the goddam world
Only to be reborn by my old parents.
I love it when you call me Stillborn
Cos I was never meant to stay
I was only meant to give you joy
Which will be short lived hereafter.
Causing pains to my mother is what I enjoyed most
By allowing her breast milk soured having no one to suck it
And thus, making me proud of my self
For I am Abiku.
