Spirit Husbands And Wives Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Leave me alone
I am not possessed
Leave me in peace
Lest I posses you
For I will come hard

I marvel at your ignorance
Yes, I wriggled and danced
I moved with the rhythm
Little mourns rented the air
As darkness permeated the room

It felt so real
That I actually got off
I got off before I got off
I just wanted to share experience
Never did I mention deliverance

Often times you sleep talk andwalk
Was it orchestrated by your spirit husbands and wives?
When you get aroused involuntarily
Or drip from within
Was it the marine gods?

Hear the word my friend
I am not possessed
I am just parasomnic
Activating my system during sleep
Same, when I have nightmares

I watched you all gossip
Some made a fortune
Feasting on gullible victims
Schooled but not educated
Indeed, ignorance is a disease

When I eat in my sleep
Don't think I am hungry
Even when I grind my teeth
Is it the evil spirits?
No my friend, I am just parasomnic

When I grind in my sleep
Then I become sexsomnia
This is not pre-meditated
Are you still in doubt?
Argue with your dictionary

I know you will fry me
I know you will crucify me
But before you do
Please, Google is your friend
That we may reason intelligently

If you have ever been here
You are not alone
After all; we are flesh and blood
Truth is, once upon a time
We have all been parasomnic or sexsomnic

To the creators of Benzos
May the God of science bless you
If these were spiritual problems
They would not require worldlysolutions
Africans! Receive sense! !
