Ethnicity Poems

ONE DAY I THOUGHT OF LEAVING

IT WAS A MOMENT.. I CLOSED MY EYES,

As most Nigerians remain ruefully lukewarm 
about President Buhari's second term bid;  
an ever-increasing multitude of potential 
voters across ethnic divides, seem to be

Contained in this world is one specific hatred
Colour and ethnicity; these differences denigrated
Before I was born, I knew I was already hated
‘Cause of the colour of my skin, constantly humiliated.

ONE DAY I THOUGHT OF LEAVING ,
IT WAS A MOMENT.. I CLOSED MY EYES,
MY SELF WAS TORN TO PIECES, APART OF ME WAS TAKEN AWAY..
THAT MOMENT I SAW A CRYING ORPHAN BEGGING ME TO STAY.

Indeed, I want in my heart to become a person who is quite well-off materially and essentially happy. Not grandiose, enough to have a luxury car and house, a beautiful wife, high degrees in the office, have the title of professor, children who study abroad.
That might be my wishes, but maybe if I saw that desire I would consider myself pathological. However, life doesn't need stability anyway.
Life can be lived only with happiness. But I will sneer at you with the words 'eat that happiness' because the people who say that are only envious, envious, spiteful people and their friends. Do you know that shirk is a sign of being unable.
I have to look for media that is appropriate, effective and efficient to find that there is indeed a woman who loves to be loved. Regardless of status, stratification, orientation, religion and ethnicity. However I am aware that at this time I am not yet well established materialistically and academically, but if there is, who knows, someone will want to be with me.

It is so sad
when clarity
gives way to
frank befuddlement.

I am saddened, in fact dismayed
For the attention that I have paid
To fellow poets who fail to perceive
That they should enlighten and not deceive.

It's mid-September and the pressure is mounting,

Hey, in India,

I’m not a history buff at all, ……BUT I’ve heard some stories ……
about some of history’s most grievous moments, and some …..of its glories.
I’ll repeat several of the grievous moments for you now to hear.
Some of you may scoff at them, while some may shed a tear.

The candle extinguished but I see,
still not dark, many candles were lit,
a living candle, a source of light,
let the candles lit, we need it.

In search for truth we follow many paths
Till the understanding dawns upon us
That all paths converge upon one.
One loving ray prisms through as many,

Living bodies are open systems,
need constant input of food,
water and energy
for survival.

Even if you build your borders and fences
No matter how inciting your voice or sentences
Tommorow a new chapter commences
Tommorow this nation is where we meet, different faces

did they even care that the Human being took them seriously by investing their time and emotions.

For much of my lifetime I had felt as if a convict.
Then, God came and set me free.
Here, I stand before my accusers and know I am alien to them -- dark,
mysterious, to be repudiated and scorned -- perhaps even scourged,

First, let me know what it is cultural studies? Is it a study of culture from political point of view or sociological or anthropological or geographical? How the geography, how the culture, how the politics of culture?

How the cocoons, small coteries of culture? How has culture evolved? Crossing the boundaries which divide man from man, how have we come to value gender bias, geographic boundary, power politics and its equation? How have we culturally the impact of race, gender, class, ideology, community, ethnicity, nationality?

Dalit literature. What is in Dalit literature? How the text and the treatise? Who the exponents of it? And what in Dalit, un-Dalit? Which is whose literature? Is it a sociological, anthropological, ethnographic study? How to do justice with? I do not understand it.

Do they really express who have borne the brunt of exploitation? Who are they who have really suffered? Does it really represent them? The Dalit men and women, let them tell, tell you not.

Has there ever been any person, On earth whose heart hasn't been broken
Does ethnicity or born gender play role? does your height or ones weight?
Has there ever been a person on earth whose heart hasn't
been broken! How is it dealt with and is the heart ever healed truly completely?
