THE BLACK SPOT

(For Richard Njinkia Mofor, my secondary school classmate at Sacred Heart College in Bamenda, Cameroon. He was nicknamed `Tom Morgan`)


By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I have my blind spots
Who doesn`t?
Even Jesus lashed out with a whip
We saw him weep
Again, he fell
Not just once or twice
But thrice
So, who am I
Not to succumb?
