HINTS - through the lens of an Ogbanje

What is manipulation to human

is just a way of being to an Ogbanje

a means to existing.

An ogbanje wants what it wants

human says by any means necessary

ogbanje sees any necessary means to exist.

A mother grief,

collateral damage.

A death occurred,

a mission accomplished.

A lovers aching heart,

a side project.

A feeling experienced,

a sensation fulfilled. 

Not selfish

just focused on an assignment

a journey

where emotions reside in a chosen life lived.

One can learn from the Ogbanje

seeing what is considered mundane

as maybe it's only reason for choosing to live.
