Nativitate Dolor written by J.Y. Frimpong & Eden Akwasi King

 
When God created the world, all that there was,
Was happiness!
And as such man lived life in eternal bliss.
The warmth from the sun breathed on man
Like they shared affection of ninety three million miles.
The wind had this enchantment of bathing around man
Like her existence was to serve man.
 
The Garden of Eden pampered the foot of man.
To them, they were royals
Whose footsteps were blessings to keep warm.
God sat in the Heavens smiling at His perfection.
And it also smiled back at him.
Life was like a sweet wine which begged to be drank.
The bleakest memory of a tragedy to anyone
Was unknown to the imagination of man.
 
Shortly before creation,
The war which had sent the fallen Angels
Out of heaven was promised never to return.
It was then that the snake,
Cunning as he was wobbled to Hell to satisfy sheer curiosity.
The devil,
Seeing the epitome of himself come near him
Gently slipped himself into the soul of the snake
And journeyed back to the Garden.
He took some mints after licking some ixora sweets on the way.
His breath was like the freshness of morning,
His voice the soothing touch of purple silk.
When he spoke to Eve she was bewildered with glee,
Although she beat a thousand thoughts about disobeying God,
The devil said
"Oh gracious daughter of life,
You have begot the one truth that will set you free.
 Here I am."
 
After a short argument
Which Eve fought really hard to lose,
She took the forbidden fruit.
She bit into it.
Behold, the birth of Pain!
 
Dizziness and fear of sweetness
Clung unto Eve like the fins of growing yam
"Oh let me run to Adam and bid him taste this evil sweetness"
 
The taste of pain felt as much as the guilt of disobedience,
Which contrasted with the sweet deathly taste
From the same fruit to the tongue.
The snake began to offer support,
Ridiculing the folly he had made out of her
To unleash Pain unto Earth again.
 
Seeping through the air like an aphroditic aroma,
She stole the breath that hung in the nostrils
Of every living thing God had created.
All was filled with her sting,
Her touch, her soothe, her being.
Pain came to dwell in the world too.
 
You see,
When God created the world,
He had captured Pain and trapped her in the fruit;
Never to be broken, never to be bitten.
Forbidden!
And now, for all of life and time,
Pain has come to dwell with man.
 
Once upon a time pain was born
And for the rest of life, Man run away from her.
She was the reason they run; she was the reason they stopped.

"I Am Naked" written by J.Y. Frimpong & Eden Akwasi King

 
 
To scrape a thousand shields off my body,
To break my skin into tiny pores
Is not enough to render me bare.
Though my clothes be torn, ripped and peeled off me
Though the darkness covers me
And shallow my shame to a million depth below judging eyes,
It still is not enough to render me bare.
You see,
The guards that came with me up to behold right and wrong, life and living,
Left me just before I could crawl my knees up to the stage of being clothed.
So I am naked.
Naked of life and of living
 
To betray me like I was an old blue jeans,
To leave my heart broken into a million stars by telling me lies
And naming yourself my best friend
Is just not enough to break me down
Though, I look lonely and miserable in the festival of love and friendship
Though you might have turned the sun away from me
And have left me cold like I was the Prince of Pluto
Is laughably not enough to make me bare!
It just isn’t enough to make me a hopeless romantic
You know,
In the evening I shall beat my chest and cry for your touch
But the morning will come and all thoughts of you will be gone
I admit I am naked
I am naked of your love
I am naked of your friendship
 
Before you sought my tender tissues
To screw in your arrow sliced heart
I was way low on smoothness
I was not prepared to be ravaged
But I was ready for spillage
Because I was naked of love
I was naked of warmth
I thought you could win a chance at filling in spaces
Nature and being, had opened...
Now I still am
Naked of love. Naked of warmth.
You couldn't render me any barer.
 
Before you came walking in the silent nights,
I laid in pain begging for a respite
But there you opened the doors to my soul
And stole it whilst I stood watching
I begged that you would redeem me
By being my savior for the night
Yet you said killing me was an exquisite joy
But it so happens that at times death dies
And the gates of Hades are thrown open
Like the parted red seas
I got you on your knees
And I will no longer live my life
Hiding and pacifying your greed
I might be dead
But I am naked of death, my bones feel younger

#blatantMOUTH


God is infallible
And hence everything he creates
 
Is meant for the good of mankind.
But it so happens that a brood of people
Who openly and covertly confess
To be called politicians
Have turned the mouth which was meant
To heal and mend wounds
To create and elevate people
To increase people's worth
Into an instrument of self enrichment .
 
I call their mouths "Blatant mouths"
Because unlike others, it has lost
Its shame and humanity
Its purpose and direction.
They open their mouths and the first thing
It does is to lie to you.
The good morning it says
Is an invitation to dupe you off your possession.
 
Yet they are one of us;
Flesh and blood
But want to be treated like gods and angels
They live in the glamorous houses
And have the best of girlfriends
Yes! Including the fine girl on instagran
 
You dream of a Rover, they drive a Rover.
You dream of going to work in New York, they have their vacation in Dubai.
You dream of getting rich, they dream of how to achieve immortality.
 
That is the power of the blatant mouth.
It creates without working
It destroys without touching
It ruins without thinking
When our minds get wiser
Your blatant mouths will have to work harder
