Royal Blood

Not different by color
Not by birth
It’s more in learning to walk the tightropes and expunging fear
It’s getting untangled from ordinariness
I am of the blood royal, and the saying is true that — good blood don’t lie.
So do you have Royal Blood? Your last name may tell you.
Not different by chromosomes
Not by conquests
It’s all dependent on humans — mortals who have real feeling and a ravishing soul,
It’s sacrifice, for the love you love the most.
Good blood don’t lie
So do you have Royal Blood? Your unmasked persona may tell you.

Not different by fame
Not by status
It’s splendour restlessly tapping to be unveiled
Your diffuse reflections from those rough surfaces — flickering to light up the world
‘Cause; good blood don’t lie
So do you have Royal Blood? Your Clothing collection may tell you.

#ClotheTheClothless2020

The Year 2020 happened. From March 2020 till a few weeks before the end of the year, we had our doubts as to whether #ClotheTheClotheless2020 will hold or whether we would just allow the rollercoaster that has been 2020 walk past quietly. But you know this Yoruba saying of “Everyone sleeping and facing the same direction”?[…]

#ClotheTheClothless2019

As Dammy and I walked through liquid, solid, organic recyclable and hazardous rubbish, trying to locate the Baale’s house, we could barely come-to-terms with the actual reality of people living, eating and bearing children in this … this… this place.
