La Jazzmine's Chronicles

  ITOHAN (CRY FOR MERCY) EPISODE 2 ( a poetic short story) She managed to break loose, held on to her ripped blouse and scampered for the door. Uncle Bee rushed after her. It was a rat chase, as she headed for the exit, he made to grab her. In a split second, she sprawled on the ground under the effect of the heavy landing by Uncle Bee’s grabbing. “Uncle Bee, please don’t do this I beg you.” She pleaded, she was hurt from the struggle and fell. She could feel herself losing breath. Maybe she could opt to desperate plea, he might oblige. She recalled what her mother taught her about the honourable maiden, it was something she looked forward to later but that was about to be thwarted. She thought of fighting back, she raised her hand blindly to offer a slap which was skillfully dodged by her attacker causing her hand to hit the wall instead.  He raised her from the ground, threw her on the bed, mounted on her with a grin. “Its finished” She cried. That was how she lost it all in...

  A Poetic Short Story EPISODE 1 A child is crying out there, but no one seems to care as they all go about their business. “Leave me alone” She screams as his hands move through her skirt. “What are you doing? Stop it” She protests as she struggles to break free from this unfathomable act displayed by her so called big neighbour, Uncle Bee. She was to deliver the message sent by her mother, if only she knew, she never envisaged this. She managed to break loose, held on to her ripped blouse and scampered for the door.

Enjoy this beautiful piece as we look forward from all the disappointments associated with the previous year. THE MYSTERY PART 1  THE MYSTERY Once upon a time, There lived a man on the hill I was told, ‘He is a black man, he could make you sick, He has no treatment or cure for his disease’ But then, I’ll never know Who was a black man or if a man can be black For he was as fair as the rising sun and his hair was like fire from coals He definitely looked like my brother from this side over the seas, but maybe the curls on his hair betrays the look. So, I approached him, Having worn my mask and gloves, determined not to get sick. Alias, we met and spoke at length, a social distance away from each other He was delighted and offered a sumptuous meal of something in rolls and soup filled with meat. I ate.

Tomb oh Tomb Where is thy wound? You who thought With your stone soo grave Could withhold the one to save Didn’t you hear the news Can’t you see the Jews In disbelief of what it may be That the one scourged and beaten The flesh of whom was left stricken He is walking on the streets Hey! Look at his feet Where the nails were pierced through Hear it, the word is true  He is risen He defeated the old rotten tomb He conquered the hades, founder of doom Now we are free, We scream in glee Free to call upon His name The sweet spirit of power By which in Him, we stand and conquer Hallelujah, We arise in Christ Hallelujah.

Sometimes, when I think of the past. I'm glad it never did last For the hope of the future Is the better today I therefore decide To work towards an intentional today With my hopes still intact For the future is today Tomorrow may just be another day.
