Episode 1
Dear reader,
I know you see me as a shame to myself and
Creator, read my ordeal before you decide
on what to see me as, life in the streets
is a must survive tussle. being the only one
left on Earth, nobody accepted to take me in.
Including my uncles who bask in the wealth of
my late parents, I never knew they harbour
such hatred until their deceased.
Living
in the street is a thrill of harship, you feed
by pickpocketing and smuggling of food.
we know is wrong, if you don’t do it you die of hunger.
no shelter to shade us from the sun and rain
apart from the kind bridges in the city.
Poppy mama allowed us to stay with her at
the end we will bring her what to eat, many
of the homeless girls like us went into prostitution.
I always have a lucid dream to better the
life of children in the street, to be the ear
that will listen to their tiny voice in
the society.
without Education I know I can’t achieve that,
no form of free education in public schools.
but our government always swag around
with pretentious go tell the goodnews of free
education, in my misery I seek comfort
under the moonlight that always remind me of
a bright light in my dark life, one of those days
we are in full swing to steal, I was caught
in the process, almost beaten to death if
not of a man who saved me, the richest man
in the City help me out of the mob. he took
me to a hospital, he listened to my disheartening
story, “boy you will not suffer anymore”
his comforting words send me to Mars.
I dreamt a dream that haven’t done for
years in street, I prayed let them come through.
Chief kept his promise for a good life.
admitted into one of the best private school
in the City, I was so hot for primary school
that the teachers adviced Chief to take me
to Junior Secondary, my brilliance and dedication
to my studies paid off, I was given scholarship.
Chief asked me to be in same class with his daughter
who is in Secondary school SSS2 precisely.
that is when I realized I have been living
In between Jezebel and Pharaoh’s wife, the annoying
provocative seduction trippled, on my own
the burning desire to be successful in life
didn’t make me fall for all plans setup
by the children of Babel, many times I caught
Chife wife having sex with the gateman
and the male servants in the house, sometimes
three male servants will bang her in her room
when Chief is away for business. I wanted to
tell the Jezebel Chief called his loveward
what is going on ’cause am the one helping
her with her studies, she forced herself on
me that day, I rejected and flee to my tent like an Israelite.

Episode 2
I never forget the slums for once, I always visit
there to see my friends, Poppy Mama is
terribly sick and I know she won’t survive
the illness, she died a Month later.
she didn’t
even wait for me to fulfil my promises to
her. Cruel world, any money I have I send it
to Rex and Anthony to rgister in school
and further their education, they won scholarship
too to finish their Secondary education.
when I received the letter I was so happy.
I remembered the dream we shared Rex
always dreamt to be a lawyer and Anthony
he wants to be a cop, I always see the need to
be a doctor, to save life is what I want to
do and I am determined to offer free
medical care to the homeless roaming
in our streets. Then we will set out to look for
books in the waste bin, or visit homes to beg
for books in any form to read, many kindhearted
people will give us books and many people
will rather burn their old books than to give us.
any money given to me I sent it to my friends,
we visited libraries together to read and research.
we all have the same goal but different dreams.
Anytime Chief and his wife travelled Jezebel will
host orgy in the mansion with her friends.
disturbing my reading section, the most annoying
is Chief wife who I escaped her advances
many times, I don’t know why Chief is cursed
with such Pharaoh’s wife. I was in my room reading
when Jezebel came to my room and locked the door,
she starked herself naked before me asking
me to have sex with her, I refused to do what she demanded
she start crying and shouting “please
don’t rape me” Chief opened the door with
spare key, without hearing the part of my
story, I was arrested and thrown into darkness
I was beaten by the police like someone
who killed the president of the country to
confess crime that I know nothing about.
my in-mates also did the same thing Judging
me as if they are God, asking me why
did I rape the good daughter of a kindman.
the entire City cried out for my head,
no one wants to associate with me, I was banned
to receive visitors, I was taken to another
cell that I won’t see any form of light.
I was arranged for court, differnt lawyers
visited me to help me out and won’t return. those who came twice didn’t return
another time again, WAEC result was published
I had As in all my subjects, I was shown
by Chief and he promised me to never use it,
I cried that day, my friends didn’t even visit
me, darkness and beaten is the only comfort
for my wounded soul, politicians promised
Justice to Chief to obtain favor from him
for the upcoming elections, lawmakers
seat to extend, jail sentence for rape, tears
drop from my eyes, what a world for the helpless.

with their pens, men of Jury bear the fury
of hate delude of smile, I have decided
on argumentum ad miscerandium

will there be room for pity, am not even
upto 18years to be kept in the cell. but my
little hope to be taken to juvenile court
was crushed by my own uncle who presented
false birth certificate, my head spinned.
I tried to cry but cry is tired of me and there
are no longer tears in my eyes. doctor report
is presented showing envidence of forceful
penetration, the Jezebel herself testified
against me, “he has been raping me ever
since my dad took him in, he will threaten
me that he will kill me if I reveal it to anyone,
I was scared, I came to his room to tell
him about the pregnancy test result.
and he

with so many lies, I couldn’t take it anymore
I passed out, I was revived to defend
myself without a lawyer to defend me.
what do they want me to say when everyone
in the court room want my head to be chopped
off, I was sentenced to 24years in prison
with hard labor. I lived days in a darkroom

for nutrient, I forgot my dream of being
a doctor. cause I know this is the end of
the road, days turns into Months I don’t

is of no importance to me “happy new year,
everyone” the warder in charge informed
us, one of those days the full moonlight

I
stood under the sun for twenty minutes
confused on what to do, I saw fleet of cars
coming to where I was standing, I know is
Chief that has come to end me lawlessly, but

I was confused. So is Rex and Anthony

them seeing to my care, I wrote jamb and
scored highly, had admission to study my
dream course, 5years later I achieved
a little of my dream, I became a practitioner.
I owned a very big private hospital in the City,
I took my relations to court those who
took the properties of my late parents,
my parents property were confiscated
by the court, they used their savings to fight
against me, but with the help of barrister
Rex I won the case. Everything is given
back to me, I expand my parents multi billionaire
companies, I became extremely rich giving
mansions to homeless roaming in the streets.
I award scholarships, I build standard
private schools for the helpless, provide
free medical cares, feed them properly
anyone who is homeless is my son, I trained
them, they became godheads in the society.
many of them became senators, governors,
Lawyers, teachers, doctors just like me.
I suffered from ebola during it out-break
I treated myself and discovered the antidote,
the virus attacked my village, I went there
to save lives but refused to treat my relatives
who left for the village when they can’t
afford living in the city, they died afterward,
I refused to attend their burial, the government
appointed me as a minister of health to
see to the eradication of the virus, Chief and
his wife were brought to my hospital to be
treated, I ordered they shouldn’t be attended
to, let their money take them to wherever
they can treat it, they eventually died.
I went to their burial to pay obeisance
to the man who was once my bedrock of success.
I met a prophet which made me regret
most of my actions, if I had listen I’d
not have taken vegeance that is only for our
creator.

without protection, I wanted to tell you
am pregnant for you the day I came to your
room, but you refused to have sex with me
that is why I punished you” in hundred
years I will still remember that day, I felt
sweet sensation and dreamt were I was
