I found it very refreshing and I was glued to the screen. It was good to hear the audiences reactions to the film and what they took away from it. It really is exciting when you find an engaged audience.

I loved it. It was a totally new experience for me. I’ve obviously shown the film to a lot of friends and people I meet, and it is great to see their reaction as they watch the film. But having people who know about film talk about and comment on your work is something very different. The fact that the audience picked up on some of the small details about the characters & story line gives me a renewed devotion to finish up the series.

“Questions”, Poetry by Anne-Sophie Cabaret

Genre: Dark, Family

“Questions” by Anne-Sophie Cabaret

Set my body free
I wasnt born for you to think
You can make fun of me
Just because you’re my mother
does not mean i aint got no rights
While you’re wasting your life
I got other battles to fight
And i am not your slave
No im a human being
My brain’s 50% unrealistic dreams
I live in the future
Think about that too much
What should i do before i die
And can we be reborn ?
A hell of a question
Will it ever be solved ?
How can we know its fake
If it never happened before ?
I got a lot of questions
And way too many plans
So i hope you get out of my life before i make mine end.

THE DEAD, Poetry by Lekan Malik

Genre: Society

THE DEAD

Oh callous generation
That would not even allow the dead to rest peacefully
In there sweet dark grave.
Now, they party on us,
They sit on us to gossip.
Our graves are now meeting places
For secret lovers, even at nights, without fear
Their children now excrete on our dusty faces
And also quench our thirst with their acidic urine.
They cover us with their stinky rags
And also lampooned our epitaphs.
They show us no respect, no fear.
They don’t pay us homage again.
Our protection don’t count anymore
Yet, they call us wastes.
We too have silent talks down here
But they distract us by throwing phlegm.
They turn our graves into beds
By spreading their bed bug infested mattresses.
They brood and fart expressly into our decayed mouths.
This age evicts us anyhow
As they greedily exhume us
And transfer us from grave to grave.
Or leave us there
For the government to lay roads like mats
For their vehicles
To accelerate on our decomposed bellies.

(C) Lekan Malik
