Growing up, we were taught to protect our talents by hiding them, never to show them to anyone. We were told there were destiny snatchers who were usually family relations and neighbours than strangers. Lies! All lies!
I tell you most solemnly, the best way to secure your gift is to showcase it. Gone are the days they went about searching for or hunting one who possessed a particular skill. Today, there are many persons who have same potentials as you. Sadly, the world is busy, too busy to notice you. You must distract them to recognise you. You must strive against all odds to convince us beyond every doubt that you've got something unique. That you are capable! And don't tell me you're capable of nothing naturally. Each of us has got something sui generis. Look inwards. You must discover yourself. And should you be in a country like Nigeria, you may have to lobby for the chance to show your gift. Make your gift count, at least for your own happiness. It's a norm you must imbibe to survive.

But consciously and unconsciously we see them sneaking and stripping into our classroom to be masticated and acted upon. Slowly breaking down our tower piece by piece and leaving the faculty in ruins and not in peace . The infallible and irrefutable words we have once read from the book of wisdom is all we have left to stand against and battle this evil encroaching the terrains of our faculty. To yield to the great pers...

BED AS A SLAUGHTER SLAB.

Another sinister stab... a bed as a slaughter slab. A branch broken down; death with a fierce frown. Another drunk knife. An assailant of a wife. Neglected role of a mother. Now a brutal butcher. Body riddled by holes... sadness slays our souls. Another gruesome death; candles about to melt. Fear in the camp of men... a callous campaign by women. How many more men will fall? Devilish handwriting on the wall. No more dreams in our sleeps. Our slumbers are no longer deep. A death devoid of bliss; we still pray you rest in peace. Lanre badmus November 2017

FADING SAPPHIRES

By Ola Vincent Omotade She shouted at me  '' just walk away '' You made my past miserable, you're meant to be forgotten. I tried  to walk gently out of her sight. she then 'whispers'  I hate you ,cheater, devil  she said. Then i knelt down and from my sour mouth,I said "Could me and you with fates conspire,to break this sorry scheme of a thing entire. Cos my glances nowadays are now in glimpse. She looked  at me and replied i give you just five minutes. Then i knew i had to do more of poetry and not planning. So i started this way Clouds and Darkness were round about me. Just like the first time i saw your face. And After your lightning enlightened my world, there was a great race in my heart. The way my heart beats radically still wont Change. so I wept bitterly upon the mountains and upon the Hills and it seems someone is taking me away.. Waters cannot quench our love neither can flood drown it....wait Just mention, e...
