The Yoruba forests have already lost too many animals to local hunters who spare nothing with life in the bushes.
And the Yoruba language has lost too many words to the brainwashed indigenes who refuse to speak the language or pass it down to their children.

I could not believe my ears.
“You got pregnant from the rape?”
“Yes.”
“How did that happen?” I was making no sense with the question, but the situation was hardly making any sense either.
My throat felt dry. The bottles of palm wine on the table were still unopened.

Road rage
“Oloriburuku! Were! Olosi! Alakori!” Road rage yelling coming from all angles.

The AC of my truck has broken down. And the automatic window winder is not working. But my sweat glands are working.
Lyrics of Joy
Title: Lyrics of Joy
Medium: acrylic on canvas

that we all seek you
and find you not?
Joy is in eating less,
and eating carefully, simply.
Joy lives in giving more,
and consuming little.
