AND MONDAY CAME AGAIN

He came with a gladdened face to bless. Human activities were at its mighty pace, Those going to work danced and sang along, The children saddened their face on uniform, Workers hurried here and there for taxi, Market women shouted and screamed for their wares It was like a beehive, like an anthill. The traffic built up like a tower of Babylon, Teachers shirts perfectly starched to march. The breeze swelled and swung here and there, The birds came out in millions to see a new day. And the sun came with a beautiful yellow face, You could see the glittering of the glass houses Telling the earth how glorious she has been to it. You could cuddle a friend today and lose him on Tuesday, You could gain a deceitful power and lose it to a woman. And Monday came again with a trouble to trouble minds Many hated that he arrived with many chores and obligations. A game so precious to hunt and cry for amidst the unknown, It could only be him that can tell of his brother, Tuesday. © John Vincent Artistry For: Film Republic Pictures.

ARIYIKE

Arike One day, I will gather our kids and take them far away on a beautiful tale of how love held me sway on it's adventurous sails I will serenade them with stories from yore days about how unwary jokes morphed into flames of amorous desires I know they will laugh hearts out when I tell them about the timeless times I rehearsed fine lines hoping to sweep you off your feet and make brightly-coloured, winged things swirl and tumble in your innards. The very lines that fell in beautiful places in my head always flew away like freed birds when i needed them And then I will look away sheepishly like the fool I was First, it was a tingling then I got a feeling even caught my heart singing And you were the lyrics I dilly dallied but this feelings tarried Till my heartbeats synced in melody with yours When I wasn't looking love fell on my heart And when my heart was in faraway lands love came knocking Olarike You are more than wha

Blame The School System for Those Lies Our Teachers told Us.

BLAME THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR THOSE LIES OUR TEACHERS TOLD US Blame the school system for those lies our teachers told us in the classroom. Good grades are not what life needs, in reality, good grades sometimes don't take you up there but they condition your mind to one man's idea. Blame the school system for teaching us how to manage other people's thoughts, it never taught us how to think but how to manage and hold on to the thoughts, principles, formula and theories of some men before us. why don't you sit down one day and question all these principles and formula and theories you were taught in the school? The school system told our teachers to tell us that in order for us to be successful in life, we'll need good grades that will get us a good and secured job in the nearest future not ideas that will create jobs for us. Blame the school system for those lies our teachers told in the classroom and leave those lies to discover who you are. T

BREWED CHEMISTRY

From unwary jokes And banters With eyes fixated on another I saw you as just a funny friend Then chemistry set in Unconsciously so, Whirlwinds of passion swept by Here I am with you. I lived in denial She did too No, she is my friend! I whined! No, nothing would brew! She exclaimed! Then came the flame which illuminated our synch Lost my defense Her wall threw open My innate self wanted a friend A gist partner Someone to bring out my talkative self Fantasing playground jumps With our offsprings Whence they see Dad and Mum As troublesome lovers Our affection grew From chatters and laughs Half-speaking, half-singing Then love painted the scene For our fairy tale Here we are, Helplessly in love Like we've got wings to fly Up there to paradise... Babe, its not over With the sweet, There is the bitter With the laugh, There is the cry A new horizon set With storms coming Before the final lap of professing "I do" We ve go
