2013 VOF Week 2 Assignment - At the Roadside



On the roadside the junction to be precise puzzled
Forty kilometers from my maiden home
Nine kilometers from my marital home
In the rain i stood
As the sun set
How will she feel?
And what about them
Public opinion meant nothing,
But mama, papa and children.



The heartache was to continue
This time from outside
A suit case, a plastic bag with shoes
The only memoirs of 12 youthful years of energy and hard work
No tears could come
Dry as pressing for water out of a rock
Twelve years it was
All liquid was depleted from glands



Stable the virus, spared me
In court the children I sought, in vain
But not property
Despite the union factor to-date
Character marred by the years of pain and separation
evidence in their actions
The ex can not provide
The beast of burden I stand firm
Comfort zone in the presence of my offspring’s
No worry, education set me forth
Mother was but a shield and strength despite the age of ‘no women in school’
Income is forthcoming
Life skills inherent
Utmost God’s providence



I lack avenue
Rather I thought no available avenue to change the world
World pulse a reminder
Procrastination has to end
Share your soul and mind



The world catching fire with virus
Four hundred new infections daily on the map
Treatment a luxury for less than half
Information the missing link
Airtime now available on world pulse
An amazing and timely opportunity
An alpha and yet if purposive the omega for change



This heals the thirsty
Year by year of yearning it has been
A vintage for restoration and satisfaction
Another change in person or other,why not!
A classroom of miracles
Spider house for questions, acquaintances and solutions
Rest at last
A call, a point of no return
A new wave of action
Woman take the charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!
