TRUTH TUESDAY

Image result for old men shadow nature
I AM HERE

On her dying bed she lay
Doctors frantic to save her last breath
I observe at the back
A clumsy student nurse
My mind wonder at length
Something poetic and tragic stir in me
Death does that to the best of us.

Her teeth grew just to fall out
My last pair is still growing
When mine is in pain, I medicate them
When they get crooked, I brace them
And all for what?
Why do I grow them to loose them?
Why should the sun rise only to set?

That night when I went to bed
I contemplated my sorry existence
Sorry, not because I do nothing with it
Rather because I wonder
What is the bloody point?
Even if I go out with a bang
I am still gone.

Maybe I should find my solace in the story of the sun
Though it may rise to set
In it's awakening it blazes a path
It feeds the leaves
It leaves its legacy
It says, I was here
So I say, I AM HERE.

JOB NO DEY BY KWAW LYRICS

Image
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

MONDAY MOTIVATION

Image
I could just leave this there and not say anything more but I am a talker so allow me... There is someone in your life who is in there because she/he(referred as she from henceforth) finds you intriguing. She is curious about you and wants to know more. She is dedicated and will call you everyday to talk to you just to try and figure you out. She cares or so you think. She comes across like a true friend but once she gets to find out you are not all that, the magic just shrivels and dies. But you thought she was a friend. No, she wasn't. Because she wants to have a taste of your magic, queerness and uniqueness, she will do all she can; call you, text you, be there for you... But when she realises that like every other human being, you have your imperfections, you are no longer attractive. She thinks, "Is that all there is to him?", just because she came with her own expectations. She expected a certain depth and you ended up being too shallow for her. Do

LONGER THAN A SHORT STORY: SHE THINKS SHE STANDS

Image
“Alfie! Alfie!! Alfie!!!” She rushed downstairs so excitedly that her breasts flapped up and down. It was worsened by the fact that she forgot to put on a brazzier. “Did you see what she put on the group page?” She knocked excitedly on his door. The lock turned twice slowly. “Bee, why are you so excited this early morning” He rubbed his eyes when he finally opened the door. She hugged him as was usually their custom. “You stink. Take a shower.” She wrinkled her nose at him. “Yea, your hair also stinks. Take it down.” He dared her with his eyes. Being a head taller than his bestfriend, he always had to bear the brunt of her smelly hair. “I just fixed this one week ago, bruh. Suck it up.” Her eyes were scathing then they suddenly lighted up as they always did when she had something interesting to say, "Have you seen what she put on the bro’s and those page?" His lips cocked up slightly. The name of that page always made him perk up a little. He had come up wi
