"Why should I spend so much on hairdo, wearing expensive and artificial hair,  when I can rock my Natural or traditional hair without giving people different views of my status? It happens that I felt I needed a new look and some fresh air, so I decided to look natural; I went to the salon and asked my stylist to make a simple hairdo just with my  natural hair. She was confused at first and asked if all was well and I assured her that all is well. The look on her face shows she wasn't satisfied with my answer. After she was done with the hair, I was so pleased that I felt I was two years younger. Few days later, I met a younger family friend of mine, we exchange pleasantries; she went through her phone asking me to help her pick an hairstyle, because she doesn't know what type of hair to wear to the party she will be attending soon; after checking she demanded she sees my hairstyle to decide if she can do the same.

Morality is relative, so does its consequences remain  too, in every deeds and misdeeds of  man, in survival,  in poetry, but we must do something - as equal as not doing anything. I am a poet  but sometimes, I just wished I am a bird - one that knows not what it is doing but is of certainty to something  significant - survival, in a life seeming like a vacuum for something is either missing to complete life itself. If life is not complete,  then poetry - in an abyss. There is nothing as good poetry, poetry is poetry - for there is nothing as the best. I lay by the rotten carrion of  vultures - wanting to know, what poetry is  from the underworld, wanting to know  if there are poets in Hades or poetry is the fine tuned melody for men on paradisal fountain.

There are some mystical believe about tribal marks;in Nigeria, tribal marks are scarification which are specific identification and beautification mark designed on the face or body of Nigerians especially the Yoruba and Hausa  people.
