THE ROCK; THE HARD PLACE







kind courtesy: me.


Your words are finished
Your tears drown you
You’ve been here before
Making that shaky step,
When you said never again.
Never!
Your heart was sure
Now it is shattered
And you just can’t get it
Why am I moving in circles?
I have read all the books
I have tried being careful
I have tried being reckless
I just gave up and tried being me
But it didn’t work
I couldn’t even tell who I was
I am just not going anywhere
Maybe it’s time I settled
Mediocrity does not feel good
But it’s not half the work
It’s not half the pain
It’s not half the struggle
O what agony!
Even that, is more agony
Like a wounded ant I scratch at my wound
Till I coil up and die
This is hard
But then there’s the rock
I don’t want to be crashed
I want to be safe
Maybe I’ll never be safe.
How do I make you understand?
What words can’t do
Let the emotions do
Is there no middle ground?
Is there no peaceful fight
Show me the site between the silence and the scream
And there I will make my abode
The why’s and the what’s
Questions, answered by only those who went on the quest
The quest to find out
Who they really were
They braced it
Some were lucky, they survive the storm
Will I be so lucky?
And what if I get crushed?
But I can’t stay
And I can’t move
Frozen between the rock and the hard place.
-R. Brown

JOB NO DEY BY KWAW LYRICS

This is a new banger from BDRZ records and it is also from the artiste Kwaw Lyricx. Kwaw Lyricx is saying JOB NO DEY! Do you agree with him? 'Cos after all this struggle to pass through this educational system, not being able to get a job can be quite stressful. He said a lot. But I have this to add. If you are going to wait for the government to get you a job, then you might be staying unemployed for a long while. Start taking that course you did in entrepreneurship seriously. Because if there is no JOB, you can create jobs! Find your talent, hone it and start cashing in on it. And that is one thing I like about this artiste. Track after track, I see growth after growth. Don't wait till he explodes before you support him. We have to join him on his journey and help make him a better artiste. He is also from Taadi so you know right? Taadi y3 w) adze a oye! You can get to listen to the track  here . Make sure to follow him on twitter he re . And this  wil

THE MURDER CABINET Rony Brown Episode one-Who killed Freda? I always hate it when they put me on such cases. It reminds me of my empty apartment, the right side of my bed that is always cold in the morning and opportunities I let pass me by. Then again the Detective Chief Superintendent doesn’t like me much. And anything that could cause me the slightest misery is her greatest pleasure. But this case was the last straw! And I am definitely not going to be the camel whose back broke. I always take the tough criminal cases. But this… She can only be at most eighteen. She lies naked in a pool of blood; her own blood. She has one dried up tear staining her cheek. Despite the gory nature of the crime scene, her face is not carved into a look of horror. She looks like one who died peacefully in a dreamy sleep. I suddenly feel sick in my stomach. Strange; crime scenes do not usually rattle me. Argh, I hate campus murders! Although they are rare, they always take longest to
