Wa PaPo: The Rainbow Warrior
Do you know how one can make a Superhuman? Oddly enough, it’s similar to the proverb of having greatness thrust upon you. And sometimes, it is something that you actively work to be.
Such is the nature of reality.
It folds and weaves with what we know, popping up within it
Surprising ways to grow.
One Ọyá-Bùnmi was born under double rainbows. Her doula called her blessed, that would be tried to be broken.
How else can belief of super heroes happen, if it doesn’t weave in with the truth of disillusion behind it?
But in the case of Bunmi, her skin to be that of Benin bronze.
That is a lie...or really... paint.
That serves as armor.
It protected her from all direct blows, with a heavy cost of exposing herself.
The best sort of defense
Merely paradox.
When her body gave out, she painted it back together, tracing in and around her heart and body
A tether.
This is how, and maybe you can see, how one woman became the someone more than she thought she could be.
