HINTS - through the lens of an Ogbanje

What is manipulation to the human

is just a way of being to the Ogbanje

another means to existing.

Ogbanje wants what it wants when it wants

the 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 priced journey

where emotions reside only in a life purposefully lived.

One can learn from the Ogbanje

seeing what is considered mundane

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