@epi

@bluespice

lalalalalalalalalalalala

you were dancing alone

with all them strangers staring

a warm drink a warm drink

you went back home

you went back home

the crusty sun

2days no bath

skin scorched

lips cracked,starched uniform almost glued to skin

body looking sullen,eyes big and bulging but ever alert

thats the life of a class 4 boy in nigerian military school zaria

that boy i was once,and the worst day of my life happened during that period

dodging i was,a senior boy caught me

hey you,go to Charlie company and get me . . . . . .

off to charlie i jogged(you aren't allowed to walk as a junior boy)

at charlie,company after the errand on my way out.

hey you another senoir called me

excuse me sir, senior. . . sent me

i bellowed,his soap came flying caught me in the lips

blood sprang out.soap fell into the murky water coming from the toilets

you bastard,he shouted start rolling,into the water i went head first,the grime absorbing itself into my being

i got to him blood and grime staining me,a flying kick from him sent me sprawling back into the stagnant water

that was just the beginning of my worst moment

your mother is a prostitute, yessir

your father is a bastard ,yessir

you are a pig,yessir. . . . .it went on and on,my response yes sir

you have bleeped up my soap

pick it up,the said soap was lux or used to be lux,it was all soak with grime had to feel for it within mud,fungi and water

out it came,you have wasted my soap he said LICK IT YOU BASTARD!

ok,i can take many things but this,lick the soap am not sure

my breif moment of hesitancy caused me a flurry of pain rained from him

my nose bleed, my lips bled

and the soap came to my mouth,the whole bar had to go it

God i cried,the pain from him dint bring tears to my eyes,but the humiliation the diminishing

i cried,hot sobs,stinging salty sobs,as he guided me to suck on the soap

my mouth tasted like ash and sud. . .he made me later get him another soap

i vowed in my heart to kill him someday

i cried to God to kill him for me

he is still alive

his name i have forgotten now

his face i cant remember now

but the pain is still fresh

if not why would i have tears dropping on my keyboard when writing this

God i hate him

i want him to lick soap wherever he is

i want him to be beaten till he cant move

and fresh fish fed to him

i want to kill him
