Marriage...A Green Card to Wilderness

By


Most of you are walking around with a very sophisticated ticket to nowhere.

You have expensive passports that lead to oblivion.

And it is called Mrs

The green card to a wilderness

To the outside world, you are happy and fulfilled.

To strangers, you are in the abroad.

But deep down, you know you are in hades.

How did you end up here?

Hoodwinked by a false societal and social constructivism that is often a mirage.

Suddenly you end up in a loveless marriage.

A marriage of convenience.

Months later you realize you just cufflinked yourself to the proverbial 9th stitching...The one you failed to notice on time.

Sometimes pressure creates an illusion of fulfillment and satisfaction.

You are hypnotized into a marriage of desperation, not even importance.

Most often, it’s too late for some to disengage from the emotional and marital cufflinks that binds us to a nightmare, one that doesn’t disappear when we wake up.

Sometimes marriage is just a green card to wilderness.

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!

By
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

By
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 ...
