Contemplation on the Odu Odi Ika ( Idi Ika )

I’m not happy knowing

You’ve simply read my words

It doesn’t give me pleasure if

You skimmed a passage or two

I won’t feel accomplished because

You’ve heard about my work

That means

Absolutely

Nothing

I want each line to

Punch you in the gut and

Knock the wind out of you

Leaving you gasping for more

I want my ideas to

Rip apart your reality and

Litter your world with crushed beliefs

Forcing you to rebuild your mind 

Slowly

Thoughtfully

Brick by brick

I want these visions to

Release you from the jail of your existence

Leaving you free to breathe truth

So deeply your lungs burn and

Tears stream from your eyes

Broken

Is just another word for

Potential

Lost

Assumes you need to be

Found

Alive

Isn’t just a passing state

It’s how you should feel

Every moment

Climb your mountain

Reach the top

Scream to the world

I 

Am 

Me
