The other-half
Okorie Oluchi Elisa 2009 (Nigeria)
In a world
Of uncomprehendable affection
Full of likeness
Full of no means of differentiation
How cam we separate the bond that has been birthed
In a world
Of twins separated by date
No one can be compared to this unbreakable love
They try as much as they can
But their statics end up being their downfall
In a world
Of unidentified identity
The bull cannot even be identified by its horns
Efforts are made to replace one
Not knowing their actions can lead them a lifetime regret
In a world
Of inexhaustible love
A love that lightens every dull candle
Powers try to dim this bright light
In the process, they get blinded by the light
