The Pidgin Spoken Word Poetry Maestro!!!!

He came all the way from Calabar State with nothing but words.
His style is unique, funny and a joy to behold. I dare say, he is worthy of being called a maestro of Pidgin Spoken Word Poetry 

His name is D-Ray, and he used his words to shine a light right into our hearts. 

Though he did not win the maiden edition of War Of Words- Slam Poetry Competition (he is the 1st runner up), he sure did win us over to his side. 

Because when he said "fall in love with poet," well, we fell in love with him.

Running from myself to find the real me.
Gazing at the sun to see the moon. 
Mirrors says I'm-boy,
mindset speaks man, 
my pen bleeds light
Blinded by its rays, 
I see no flaws.
Like my grandma's stool, 
a sit of wisdom.
