Questions

Little Red Riding Hood
Didn't your mama warn you about the wolf
I ain't the man for a girl like you
Run little girl run...lest my horrid nature shines true

Your eyes like rays of light to my dead soul
One touch from you and I'll lose control
If I had a heart, at your feet I'd gladly surrender
Can I hold out? Will I make you my supper?

 Questions...and I have no answers

Her home is a prison

The break of dawn brings renewed hope

Oh !this day will be the last… today the die will be cast

What will be the reward…? The hand of God or the devil’s fork

For her home is a prison

No more she reasons

Many-a-night praying the children wouldn’t listen

But a locked door is a wall to those who have no key

Many-a-night her voice sweet and clear as a banshee's

Shattering the illusion of the perfect picture on the night stand

Gorged and gagged as the prisoner she so claims

Now she hopes to do more harm than maim

For death is a wife to a man whose heart is in chains

A Second....is all I need

Days...
          Too far to tell you how much I yearn

Hours...

           Too late for feelings that would show how my heart flutter

Minutes...

           Too long for thoughts that I cannot wait to utter

                                 All I need is....
  A Second

The Pitch Contest

I had turn this entry in for a contest, we were to write on why "we should be the chosen one", I made mine out to be a story, though i submitted a shorter version than the writing below. so lean forward towards your screen and use the comment box below to put down those thoughts when you are done.

Time....

Watching the waves gather momentum 

Whilst the sun runs for cover

I sit in a corner

Taking stock of my life

Reeling under the stench of rot I see inside

I wanna puke

This whole time....this was all it took.

Time.

This was what I never had yet all I need

Friends I never saw, I was an outlaw

Rode high and stood tall.... now I feel small

Chalked everything up to success

Just so I could impress....yes, impress

Time

Tick-Tock...It mocks

Yes it does..only now, I know it's a foe

As I lay my  head on the rock

Surrendering myself to its claws

The waves trash in unison

Washing unto the shore all its treasures

Whilst I purge myself of all earthly pleasures

Given equal measures

Tick- Tock-Tick-Tock

Time was all I never had yet all I need
Too late....yes, too late I agree

stylishly trickish

There was a time I was a genius with a pen
now all seem like a mockery... screaming that was then
looking at my paper
wishing this will be the winner
I take the plunge
Beginning with a phrase.

Voyage

I'm off to take a voyage
leaving behind every baggage
off to see the universe
you see, this poem is meant to be free verse
However, I couldn't care less
I will cast my net into river Thames
bask in the warmth of the sun on Waikiki beach
relish the specialty of the Nordic cuisine
take a breather around Hyde  Park
paint the sunset on the street of Via dolorosa
kiss like the French
gamble like I have nothing to lose in Las vegas
and sleep like royalty in Burj al Arab
guess it is only right you wish me bon voyage!

Cupid's latest conquest

It started out like every other workday would. "I get out of  bed- iron my clothes- shower and hit the  road. But he (cupid) made sure it wouldn't end the way it should.

I should probably spill ...before you topple off your seat...
Hmm...
During lunch break, my colleague and I decided to eat at a restaurant we just discovered.
We got in, sat, ordered and  lingered after we had cleared the food off our plates.

This is where the story begins to get awkward.

As we made to leave the restaurant, I heard someone call out my name . I raise my head to see who did.
You know what? the  vision before me made my heart beat go flip flop..
 This dude( name with held, like I would even write his name) that I had the hots for way back but wouldn't admit sauntered towards me.
"How are you, good to see you"..I smiled and extended my hands quickly to avoid the hug I saw coming .
"Good, very happy I bumped into you"...my lost but found hottie replied putting his other free hand into his pocket to retrieve his phone.
"Can I have your number, so we could keep in touch"
"hell-to-yes you can" charlie(voice) in my head answered in my stead
Ha!!! My poker face act was superb...
Just when, I'm thinking  " I won this hand", I see his hand....precisely his fourth finger...that shinny round piece  of metal silently mocking me.

If this was Cupid's idea of a joke , it went right over my head.

Change Vs Career....Nigeria in view

"Most people use change to promote their career while a few use their career to promote change" words uttered by Sarah Palin during a speech. She was the republican candidate for Vice president and also Governor for Alaska before resigning.
Most people viewed her as a "rookie", some said she was "wet behind the ears and she didn't know politics, Whichever sides they took, she was celebrated. Her name has gone into the history books for being the first Female governor and Republican candidate for vice president.
I will like to state that I take a liberal stand. I have no affinity for any political party. I am only a concern citizen of Nigeria.
In Nigeria, I'm yet to see one who will use his/her career to promote change Most of our leaders use change to promote their career and the downward trend in national affair is proof of this.
 During elections, their campaigns and speeches have a predictable trend...
"If you elect me, I will provide water, electricity, roads, good health facility, education"....
All of which should be basic right for citizen. Their dangling carrot promises quickly forgotten like a patient suffering amnesia when they assume office.
I will like to see a governor,senator, president, local governor chairman, house of representative, or persons of authority use their career to promote change In Nigeria.

I'm tired of the merry-go-round ride already!!!!!

Judge them NOT!!!!

Reality TV or Talent show as  they should be aptly called have taken over the air waves..everyone wants to put up a show- from telecoms-brewery industry- talk shows.

 For me, it is okay as long as  it keeps my eyes  riveted to the screen, make me rush to the fuel (gas) station so I could  turn the generator on when PHCN does what they are best known for and lastly make me use my modem to stream the episode I missed online.

But wait, isn't  it hard earned money going down......just to see these "talent show trotters"?
