SUICIDE BOMBER BY O'REAL

suicide bomber

°

there are many ways to make hell

with your hands clean- 

.

there is evil everywhere, even in

the oxygen we breathe-

.

that is why our noses are fatal weapons 

fixed to the socket of our face-

.

they fail to alert us of dangers

like death knocking on doors 

with a silent knuckle

.

this is for those with fuses fused

to their unwillingly bodies,

and those who share the consequences. 

.

heavens with sights & sounds of solaces

are painted 

in their deluded brains. 

.

now, they just want to see, to believe.

but they do not want to go alone-

.

every man is unselfish, 

who wants to share misfortune with mankind...

.

evil is an innocent man blindfolded 

to the innocence of women and children 

.

then boom!!!

.

when the time is up, 

everybody's body knows about it. 

.

but their ghosts narrates

how the story went,

.

because their flesh would become too ugly

for man to sit with

at the moonlight tale of tragedy.

# FICTION # SURVIVAL ========== “I can’t just stand here and watch you die,” Nkechi said, her voice laced with deep emotions. “I must go and find help.” There on the floor, in the small hut, was her dying mother, shivering. She had been like this some days now, but now it seemed to be getting worse. The lamp that sat at the center of the hut, lighted the room poorly, but was enough to make the beads of silvery sweat on her mother’s face shimmered. “My daughter!” her mother called, her voice lowering into something like a whisper. “What kind of help do you mean?” Ever since her father died mysteriously, she and her mother had lived like strangers in the village. People heard and believed a lot of lies about them. Some believed that her mother had used her witchcraft on her father, while some believed that the gods of their land had placed a curse on them. There were recent cases of goat disappearances at the time and the Chief priest with the consent of the King had placed a cur...
