The Undiluted....

A poem composed by Awesome Kids Academy's reading club.  By Chinaza David (Yr2) and Daniella Daniel (Yr 4)   I am tender, delicate and special Treat me nice and teach me right I am the twinkling stars at night, without me, there ’ ll be no light. I am the green grass,  The waters of the niger, I am bold, great and beautiful. The jewel of the savannah, that ’s who I ’m Special, So special,  That ’s what I am.

Dear Daddy,          Thank you, thank you for raising me different, thank you for teaching me what self love is, for teaching me to be content but also strive hard for what I believe in. Thank you for not raising me any different from my brothers for teaching me to respect the male folks but not thinking I'm any less for teaching me to be human first before being a girl. For teaching me not to depend on no one else but myself, for teaching me not to wait for a man to provide for my needs or to make me happy. Thanks for teaching me the value for dignity of labour therefore teaching me never to compromise my womanhood for the next pay. For teaching me strength and rising up after a fall I say thank you. For making me realize that a good name is more precious than gold. Thank you daddy for setting a standard on how queens and princess should be treated. For reminding me that settling for anything less than that standard is unacceptable. For teaching me th...

I think that I might fly away, in my hot air balloon, And hide from worldly worries on the dark side of the moon; There’s but one thing I need before I float into the blue: I need a sky companion and I want it to be you. We’ll fly beyond the storm clouds and we’ll watch from up above, I’ll cover you in rainbows as we feel each others’ love; You’ll shower in the stars at midnight in our special place, I’ll dry you with a comet’s tail and kiss your beaming face. Dreamy drifting panorama, changing every day, Every night your loving smile will be my milky way, The moon will wane before us, sailing there in heaven’s height, For nothing else can challenge our love’s everlasting light. Venus shining on us, glowing soft at our devotion, Our daily drifting dalliance in love’s celestial ocean, I’ll write you lovers’ poetry, and you will be my muse, Orion and Andromeda will oversee our cruise. We’ll sleep with clouds as pillows, maybe steal an angel’s wings, Then fly as magic...

A snake penetrated into a carpentry workshop.  As it slipped, it passed over a saw and got slightly wounded. Suddenly, it turned and bit the saw, and biting the saw, the snake seriously got wounded in its mouth! Then not understanding what was happening and thinking that the saw was attacking "him," it decided to roll around the saw to suffocate it with all its body by squeezing it with all its strength, but it ended up being killed by the saw!!! Ignorance is worse than lack of knowledge. Hate can do nothing but love can transform. Many a times we react so quickly in anger to hurt those who have harmed us, only to realize that it us that hurt the most In life it is better sometimes to ignore situations, ignore people, ignore their behaviors, their words because knowledge is knowing what to say but wisdom is knowing when to say it. Do not let hate take over your life because love is stronger than anything. Be wise . We need to learn to let go because according Mahat...

I fly into your eyes like a moth skirts another dance around the perimeter of torch flames like on subtitles at foreign matinees, my eyes on yours are spellbound like the pleading of crying violins your voice finds the path to my deepest soul like crème brûlée lingering on my tongue, I want to taste more of your kisses ...and your love, like soft on silk, red on roses and sweet on youth leaves its permanence upon my heart

Hard as a rock, all in as a tuck   Cold was the touch when you left me out on the street  The freedom, the love, large as a fleet  You want to be the king of the blacks You ended up shooting me, the rubber slacks  I caught myself sobbing on missing you  Family is a tree, they groom me through  I thought I found a family in you,  My mistake cos you know nothing about family  We were about to roar like a lion Same you pushed me to the wolves  I came back as an Alpha, my voice is the choice The drama you play, I had to stop laughing at the jokes  To them feelings you brought me that I don’t want to feel again I said my goodbye to them so your drama can go round them niggers That’s got the nod for you in their knickers   Three diggers now, you deserve ‘em ass kickers  I shouldn’t know, I didn’t say, watch your inner caucus  See now, my Alpha leading lions and locust  The days you feeling lonely, I am ...
