It's the only name I have known her with though, until I came of age to know that "Mama Oboro" only means grandma in the village. Also, Little did I know that "Mama Oboro" simply means village mama instead we think as a child would that, "Mama Oboro" is the real mother we have to fall back on when the chips are down like an omniscient figure, thus, where we can always take refuge.  Without mincing words "Mama Oboro" is where the buck stops for motherly care and support. Mama is not just a loving mother but a wary and concerned one. She doesn't indulge indiscipline or illmannered children. In fact, anytime I was around "Mama" even though I regard her as a bigger mother I always check my excesses as a kid, then, so as to not receive some spanking. Mama helped me to see life as ...

 A contested illusion When the dawn is rising You endure but for a moment I woke disillusioned Failing to grasp you Perhaps on purpose Or rather to avoid comatose slip Things of the world you reveal Though may seem stupid But never in all cases Just the other day I rose full of amazement But disappointed  Because you come like a flicker My world has been damned once But never in any ounce, Of my own making Its what I call servitude Anchored by depression  At times you feel like Wreaking havoc But the conscience Is an object of divinity Which calls you back to sanity I have been to places My eyes have seen Spurious glances Timid human beings As well as audacious breeds Hey! a holler from an ally Hey! a stricture from a bully The day is dawn Time is a profound phenomena Patented by the Western chiefs    Accommodated by hope, A meliorated morrow!! #ObaluchiCraft
