The Triumph of Kindness and Justice
Tyranny is never an option
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Obubra, nestled among towering green trees and vibrant flowers, lay the serene village of Obubra. Its people lived harmoniously, sharing abundant crops like fruits, yams, and tomatoes with neighboring villages. Yet, challenges loomed, primarily due to Omerachi, a formidable woman who ruled Obubra's women's committee with an iron fist.
Known for her booming voice and vast farmlands, Omerachi commanded both respect and fear for her strict demeanor. Her daughter, Efiro, mirrored her mother's troublesome nature, while her sons, Okon and Amen, were known for their kindness, a stark contrast to their mother and sister.
Despite Omerachi's overbearing care for her children, villagers whispered about her unconventional methods, such as bathing them even as adults. Fear of her sharp tongue and vengeful nature kept many from confronting her. Efiro and her friends often caused trouble, once sparking a confrontation with Luara and Cynthia, daughters of Osinachi, a respected single mother.
Efiro falsely accused the girls of mistreatment, which Omerachi believed, escalating tensions. When Osinachi's family defended themselves, they faced Omerachi's wrath, and Chief Zulu, Omerachi's husband, cruelly intervened, leaving Osinachi and her daughters bruised and shunned.
Fear of Omerachi's family grew, affecting Efiro's marriage prospects and isolating her gentle-hearted brothers. Despite this, Okon and Amen empathized with Osinachi's daughters, offering support despite initial hostility. Their gestures softened resentment, offering hope amid the village's darkness.
Omerachi's tyranny tightened, with harsher treatment of workers and suitors intimidated. When Tude sought to marry Chief Zulu's daughter, he was violently driven away, reinforcing fear in the village.
Okon and Amen, witnessing the suffering, quietly left to escape their mother's cruelty. Omerachi, desperate to regain control, used magic to bring them back, spreading fear to prevent aid.
As the brothers sought a better life, Omerachi's manipulation backfired when Chief Zulu fell gravely ill, exposing her schemes. Empowered by a supernatural force, Chief Zulu confronted Omerachi, leading to their banishment for their sins.
Okon, Amen, and their sister were given a chance to redeem themselves, ushering in an era of hope and forgiveness in Obubra. Thus ended the tale of Omerachi and Obubra, marked by struggle, injustice, and the triumph of kindness over cruelty.

Him
Him. An unsuspecting commuter on an A-train... he sits gazing out the window, immersed in the view, seeing beyond a world of art which whizzes by as the landscape undulates, ebbs and flows. There is a surreal, dreamlike and beautiful view of nature beyond the window, where bamboo stalks grow impossibly tall, reaching towards a sky painted in the swirling, vibrant colors of a Baroque masterpiece. The interior of the train is dimly lit, casting long shadows. The peace it exudes evokes a painterly illustration with dramatic bright and dark lighting filled with rich textures.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
