Mmeso Inspires: Fake it

Too much fake life in this city, Allen.

Here, everybody want to belong…

There is no originality,

And those who struggle to keep up with theirs,

Are seen as miserable fakers.

And it continues…

Like a trend and soon it becomes a habit.

Who want to be the last?

In a world where originality is the soul of service,

No one cares to take it to heart,

As everybody have a chauffeur but never a license,

Everyone owns a house but never the keys,

Yes, Satiri owns a boutique at 10th floor but he has no crumbs.

Oseni the street gossiper has constantly ask me how Uwakwe got the car he was driving,

I was there too, you know…

To see things for myself,

Only for an amazon to storm the party ground with bouncers,

And beat her black and blue,

I scampered for safety but not when I had clearly heard the instructions of the assailant to her victim,

“Stay away from my husband’.

I knew it!

Life is too precious living it in lies,

Stay original and hit your goals.

I can as well introduce my self,

My original self…
