I can't eat cake and have pancakes

I wished that all was as I'd loved it to be
life is not fair, so why should it care
I can't eat cake and also have pancake
They are both made from flour and sweet too

WORDS UNTOLD..My entry for poet of G+

I just joined a community on google+ called the poets of G+ and I must say that there are fantastic cool poets there. if you are a poet, I think you should join a community. There are many friends to meet. Imagine if I had friends in every part /city in the world, that way I'd never have to pay for accommodation, meaning more more to shop.( its the Nigerian in me that loves Oshofree)

We were given a picture and asked to write a piece. what you shall read below is my entry.
P.s I made a friend already.
P.P.S; don't be like me and join for selfish reasons

Circles, round in circles it flows

Deeper and deeper I go

Sucked in and tossed where ever the wind blows

I have no say, this isn’t my day

I’m just a piece in the mosaic of separate entity

bonded by this tornado sweeping fleetingly

as my life swirls in company with it,

images of lost ones championing the cause

making me wish I could rewind or pause

then take back my words, setting the record straight

that I would be a better creature and embrace change

but if I pass away to the land of no return

know that I wish and yearn

to get back those lost times I never said “I love you”.

Lights, Camera..This @$#& must go Viral

Am I be allowed to use the S word? Cos I’ve searched through many plethora of vocab and nothing fits. so my excuse is " I’m allowed one cuss word a day" (doctor’s order).

People, what is wrong with us. This viral disease is eating through our membrane and we seem to have lost our senses alongside. People with 3310 wouldn’t want to feel left out, trust them to whip their phones out like… tananantana

Okay, I remember when we were young, we had Ten-Ten, Suwe and we were more than happy. To say we were sated will be to paint a picture of a child licking lollipop in contentment. One could bag the Ten-Ten champion. If it was possible, your feet would be insured and you are sure to be amongst the cool crowd, just cos you could play ten-ten like a pro. I wished we could have a tournament for these games. (Now, I’m getting ahead of myself).

Now it seems like we have lost our youth, fostering lingering friendship has been lost and I know that this topic has been over flogged and it pleads for mercy. ejo efimile ahn (leave me alone na)

The reign of smartphones is supreme and nothing can take its place. (Or so it seems). We have all become citizen journalist. When we take picture we only think...” This shit must go viral”. The Ellen selfie spoilt it all and trust naija and copycopy.” How can this gay woman get all the attention while we straight people sulk and scream at the number of retweets”.

well..if this shit doesn't go viral, what else will? by fire by force!!!

D.O

There will come a time when you just want to give in

and no, I don’t mean close shop

cos pepper nor dey shade and garri nor dey to chop

not about you eyeing the rat poison “made in Korea”

like it was the next best thing after… otapiapia.

Don’t even go thinking I mean the rope dangling

from the fan waiting to be put to good use

like the thang between the man's leg about to abuse.

Giving in, isn’t always about giving up one’s life....Literally

nor is it about wanting badly to die...metaphorically

or putting your hands on your head and screaming "Chai!!

"I wan Kpia, I nor do again, no be by force"

Well...I’m gonna say it again and again till my voice sound hoarse…ky

It’s a reaction and if not careful, spreads like a virus

Shutting off your immunity, that you may never be seen as desirous

Your white blood cells can’t heal the injuries and bruises

Your lungs have been clogged by the smoke of other’s

telling you what to do and how to do what to do like they know

how to do what to do when to do…Did y’all get that?

cos I sure don’t know why you’d want to listen to them

that don’t even know when to do the do they tell others to do

even if the do slaps them in the face.

And so you give up your very essence and give in to their pretence.

Like a controlled puppet, lemme leave you with this nugget

Do the do how and when you feel like the do should be do..ne

Cos you are the DO….the director of operations of your life

So take control and be the DO.

what did I just Do?

Lately, I have been doing things spontaneously, not giving my cerebrum the chance; not even a window to process anything. I just act and maybe think later, this has gotten me into some pretty tight spot with no room to wriggle out. The other day, I sent a mail to a prospective employer with so much gusto that the reply really irked me and just like that, I sent a reply and hit the send button without proofreading. I knew that if I did that, I would lose my liver and trash the mail. yea..I just apologised to him, well safe to say that I did beg to be forgiven.

Lessons learnt?

 It's okay to dive in or better yet plunge head first but sometimes it would be wise to put a toe in to test the temperature. This way, you don't drown in an ocean of trouble.
