Play Blind to Keep Your Sanity




Play blind
A blind person sees nothing
A blind person fears nothing
A blind person doesn't care for fashion or colors
A blind person doesn't fight for attention
A blind person seeks no referral or recommendation
A blind person pays no heed to what lies ahead because they can't see
Play blind
Blind to worries
Blind to gossips
Blind to unnecessary expectations
Blind to the intentions of others
Blind to the motives of the next person
Blind to the Consent of others
Blind to rules and regulations
Blind to traditions and customs
Blind to religion
Blind to extended and external obligations
Fuck them, you are blind you can't see them
Live as if you are blind
Walk as if you are blind to their noise
Work as if you are blind to their business
A blind person cares not for approval
A blind person doesn't get depressed because the other person isn't smiling or laughing at their jokes
A blind person won't notice the pretentiousness of the next person
A blind person won't see the frown on your face nor care
Play blind
Guard your worth and your sanity
But don't be blind
See but don't react
Act instead with blind caution
Punctuate your actions with precision
Hasty decisions and actions will only lead to crisis
Let them stumble among themselves like drunken sailors
Let them grope and stagger like blind men
You are not blind but play blind
Only then will you see
And see the unseen realities you would have missed If you were busy in their noise
Only then would you see clearly which you would have missed had you been mixed up in their business
In your blind state, you will discover all the sight you need to see, much more than your two eyes could ever see
Ask yourself this, how come the blind sometimes are more sharp and alert than those with sight
Their other senses are heightened
Their other senses are twice active to make up for the lost sight
So when you play blind, your other senses are heightened to discern the true intentions of others
Let them run around thinking they are fooling you
Play blind and see their foolishness clearly than they ever could
Play blind and guard your sanity
Only then would you see beyond your eyes can see.
PS: A blind person won't see this literally

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

I hate my Job

Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...
