D tragedy of #My_zipper


D smile on her face🤱🏽;
D joy in his heart;
D innocent look👶🏽on my face;
D unfathomable fulfilment👫my parents felt, when they had their first son.

My 8th day on earth- a catastrophe I couldn't escape;
Was it my fault that I was a male?;
My hands🤲🏻and feet held firmly;
I thought it was time to change my diaper;
D charming smile on my face varnished☹;
I cried out in severe agony😭;
She couldn't stand d sight of her wailing son;
An ocean of tears overflowed d riverbanks of her eyes;
she watched🙍🏻‍♀me go through the pain of circumcision;

I grew into a boy🧒🏻;
My regular play-stuff was my #thirdleg;
I'll fiddle with it so innocently till mum scolds me🗣me to stop;
Sometimes I'll play with it till it points Northeast👉🏿;
Of course!!! what did I know?
I was just a child;
I got to secondary school and discovered🤔;
That my #winky could do more than just urinate;
My favorite subject became biology;
My best topic became reproduction;
My most preferred companions became females;

In no time, I got entangled in lust;
My good looks deceived me;
Unlocking my zipper became my hobby;
I took drugs to enhance my sexual abilities;
I was a specialist of heartbreak💔;
Emotions meant nothing to me😤;
My friends called me #almighty_straffer;
Course mates call me P.O.S ( Prince of Strafe);

I found love,I met Nisha - stunningly beautiful & ravishingly charming;
1 month into the relationship, my sexual enthusia arose😍;
She tried to stop me, I was repulsive;
She was gasping for breath;
She begged me, I didn't stop;
She stopped crying, she stopped begging;
I shook her, she didn't move;
She was lifeless;

Eventually I discovered👁‍🗨;
She was asthmatic, she was HIV positive;
Now, I'm HIV positive;
Although I won't live for long, I'm under life imprisonment for murder;
I chose a tragic end at such a tender age;
My dreams & aspirations shattered;
My destiny & future erased; I
My #uncontrolled_zipper has written🖋my own tragedy.

Poetry: Who We Are

WHO WE ARE [Nuesa] Welcome to the world of Engineering Where we take a ride Putting aside our pride With no hard feelings inside Even though the field is wide We try not to hide The rules we abide Pulling through wild tides   That's who we are! Have you ever wondered Who are these fellows Who tries to be heroes Though not free from sorrows Even when tired down to the marrows Even when the trumpet blows Never for once drop their arrows Till the day being laid below Still struggles to pull through   That's who we are! Hear me out my dear brethrens Never forget their names They're the ones with the brains And through out all their days They barely have time to play For fear they may led astray Don't judge if they keep away Blame us not for choosing these ways   That's who we are! But wait, who are we really? We're humans just like you Wedded to our career we say 'i do' though our chances are few And we're sta...
