So this is me
Missing from within
Bitten by delivery

It's a shame
that Grace
remains

I am not a Saint
You are a thief
You are evil

Did You know?
We are evil
No Man is a Saint

Clean up
Throw out the waste
Look up for Grace

Yet I am still
wondering in a thick forest
Crying out to Bill

Who is lost!!
Bill has got ills
How can he bear the cost

I, Bill, You, Society
We're on a field
Trip

Some  where...
Un lieu
Mais nous ne
savons pas

À cause de nos caractères
Nous sommes toujours parfait
en pensant

But did You know ?
You and only You can
Save yourself!

This trip is essential
Do well to enjoy and justify
the Field Trip!

It’s time to start the revolution! The decision to decide lay with me Yet I wasted so much time What was I thinking? Laugh to scorn You bloody excuse of a man A dream With a mean A mission A misplaced vision The trauma of losing Gasping for freedom Without even pushing Indeed, I chose An option disgusted Unacceptable But it’s culture! It is what it is Don’t oppose What I want But if you cannot If you’re not willing It’s called Sacrifice I will stand by my culture! My name is Jewel. Why based on Soyinka’s play? The Lion and The Jewel is a play written by Wole Soyinka. The play places emphasis on the traditional norms and customs that govern marriage. The  Jewel, Sidi is faced with having to marry a learned young man, Lakunle, who is from the city and feels he knows it all, and a King, Baroka, who is highly culturally inclined. Reading the play caused me to think deeply about the choices that we make in life. At a point, I was very angry with the
