                                 *The Brink Of Hope*

         There is a power greater than us
                                               I know this
                                     But I can't relate
                                      I searched for it
                                But I couldn't find it
        Then I sank in the rivers of doubt

                It's like hiding from a Jaguar
                  On a shallow paw paw tree
    Afraid it might give you up anytime
   And happy it saved you for the time
                   But uncertain for how long
       'Cause the Jaguar rested under it

         There is a power greater than us
                         I have felt it's presence
        But forgot how it felt at sunshine
                  I feel it's chills and serenity
                  Awaking my sleeping hairs
         But was told it burns like flames

             Darkness isn't when the moon           
  Covers the sun from the night's cold
          Or when stars blanket the earth
       Darkness is when you are scared
   Of the night that brought you peace
 When you are frightened by the pope
  That you can't escape sin while alive
And can't escape hell when you die in sin

                It's like hiding from a Jaguar
                   Hopeful you might escape
  And scared your gait might give you up
                            But how can I forget?
          There's a power greater than us
             Which is not hidden by nature

            When I see God in your smiles
             A beauty science can't explain
           When God dances in your eyes
              A magic that never grows old
              When God rests in your voice
  A brink of hope, enough to make me remember the feeling I forgot

             Darkness isn't when the moon
  Covers the sun from the night's cold
           Darkness is when you can't see
      What causes you to sleep at night
   Yet you make a breakfast of doubts
  On the brink of hope that God exists
                     And is above our minds...

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 ...

The Law Man

By
*Longshot* "Aim!" "Fire!" kraaakkkk kaaaaaaaa krrrrrrrr!!! Sounds of gunshots rendered the air as six policemen died, all tied to the drum and shot by their comrades. Six corrupt policemen once again killed on the orders of the new police chief, totalling 600 since Nonso was elected Police chief read the Star Newspaper. The biggest and most popular newspaper agency in the country. Nonso holds the record as the youngest police chief in the history of the Nigerian police force. And the most lethal. He singlehandedly ended the reign of terror by the SARS operatives, totalling disbanding the unit, executing most of them to the dismay and utter disbelief of the local and international community. How can one man weild so much power, and why is the presidency backing him up. But Nonso was not just any man, Nonso was the man you called to clean up a mess and he did it without leaving a trace of stink nor stench. At 35, his resume was a reflection of unsurpassable exploits a...

 Warning..... 18+ You have been warned!!! I looked at the phone in my hand for some minutes as I turned on my bed, planning my next move  The excitement of getting a new phone was eclipsed by what I was about to do So, putting on my latest expensive transparent black gown carelessly on my thin, fit and light skin body, I waltzed out of the bedroom like a woman with a goal and went straight to the house next to mine I knocked twice and listened  In minutes, I heard a voice call out... "Coming..." Then a lazy slap of feet on tiles followed, you could tell from the sound and vibration approaching the door that it was not an ordinary feet but two strong legs hitting the ground with power The door opens in slow motion and an average height, chocolate skin young man just getting past his mid 30's but still looking prime and delicious, zero beards, strong jawline and broad shoulders, sitting on a rather large chest, stood in the doorway, surprised to see a beautiful young lady i...
