A letter to my Human Resources


When I spent all night drafting an appealing application
Spent another day in an internet café trying to send
I did it for me
I did it for the money
I did it for my family

I knew you not
I wasn’t applying for you
I just wanted to do my job
A job I loved

Get paid
Live a life
Leave if the time comes

Human resources
Keep your hands off me
Keep your hatred off me
Did you come to frustrate people?
If the time has come for you
Leave
Are you the devil?
Do you want to drag us all down?
Is that why you signed up for this position
You wake up one morning
Cook a story and boom
I am being served a letter
Really?

Did you know that when you signed up for this job
You needed to be one that accommodates
One that nurtures
One that mothers and fathers
One that keeps secrets
One that takes in everyone’s burden
One that makes work worthwhile
One that balances the boat

But nooooo
You are everyone’s nightmare
Is that why you are here
To drain the institution of very competent people
To torment us!

Do you think we don’t see that you are fixing your own in this space?
Don’t you see the quality of work dropping?
What do you gain by blowing off my candle?
We call for professionals to handle the human resources position
Stop doing an injustice to amazing human resources people
Do not taint the name of the unit
The unit is so pivotal and we have seen the best serve that position
What are you doing?

An institution that allows in-house relations
Don’t jump in
You are neutral
The virus of love picks on everyone randomly
As a male human resources person
I must walk in your office in and out as required
Without being followed by the virus you picked from amongst us
Glared at, threatened

As a woman human resources person
This virus doesn’t bypass you
Your judgment is blurred
Kicking us out because your virus doesn’t like us
Making out in office
Oh oh oh! Watch your steps

Stay away from the virus
Keep a clear mind
Make your space habitable
We shall love you
We shall hang in there through thick and thin
Even when the institution is being rocked by the heavy waves
We shall raise the sail together
We shall watch your back
We shall balance the boat

Her ...We can't do this Him: But we are already doing this, relax Her: It is wrong, soo wrong Him: ssssshhhh, just enjoy it Boy, she is literally melting at this point Her: ahhhhh,mmmmmnnn Her: Are you sure, she mumbles through the panting She is loving every thrust, he knows what he is doing with her Her conscience is heavy, but emotions have won She hasn't been touched in a while and she had been dripping from earlier But knew better Him: Hey, we are adults, i want this, i want you Her: mmmmmnnnn Her: Okay baby He is driving her to heaven She clings to him for her dear life His breathing gets faster, and heavier with every move And booooooom, he is free! He falls on his back as his breathing starts to normalise At this point, the devil in her has been stirred, she wants more and more It is about the two of them,  She wants him whole!

A Diary of a Stranger

That morning we had a beautiful sunrise  And an epic sunset  The moon and the stars weren't ready to be a part of our history  Neither did we make one with the sun But the wind and trees witnessed the beauty shared PC: Internet Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita ©  2024 You can watch the video here  https://www.tiktok.com/@ayenyoj/video/7324587543486319878?lang=en Subscribe  to my channels YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ayenyo1 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ayenyojoanita Twitter: @ayenyo1 Instagram: @joanitaayenyo Tiktok: @ayenyoj

The African Wife

Image
When the African moon rises tonight I will sway in delight And crane my neck in wait For the one who has stolen my heart returns tonight Oh my beloved! The one whose presence makes me swoon, When his fingers brush my skin Blood rushes through  And I gasp for breath Oo my beloved You have been away too long My body aches for you. Tonight you will consume me The passion burns hotter than the pit of a volcano Is that his shadow over there? The African moon brings back my emperor  And tonight The wait will be over.
