Alright, this poem sounds cakey but it has double meanings. Just got a hold of it this morning. So, let’s go.

Fingers In The Dough

My fingers lapped the cake.
Threading it wistfully in my enclosed palm.
Feeling the soft elasticity of it, as it expanded therein.

It seemed juvenile to wish for a formation.
But still, I couldn’t help but envision a flower-shaped cake.
Even though, right now, all I saw was a shapeless formed cake.

Burdened by the flour on the still carpet,
I felt like maybe I could push one little flour to the mix.
But ended up pushing in one-two many flour into the overly formed cake.

What a mess!
But a complete disaster it was but my pride wouldn’t let up.
So, I pushed in some water thinking it would dissolve some, but…

Instead of dissolving, it became a solvent.
Out goes my flower-shaped cake.
And in comes my shapeless formed cake.

  • CHILD LABOUR IN RESPECT TO HAWKING
    From rural to urban Nigeria, we see cases of children walking from the age of four to adulthood in other to sustain their families because society has failed them. There have not been proper structures put in place for these children to thrive, and the poverty rate is indeed crippling. Yes, poverty!
