The first, second and third lines

Well versed in sweet smelling magical rhymes

It is not the staggering steps not stunted speech of a man drunk in wine

It is an experience buttered in truth, much sweeter than a peaceful white lie

The mind of a poet, hold thoughts a bunch of fists can't

It carries scars, not one, two or three, you'd lose count

Within, nothing is ever as it seems

There are no saints here, just sinners and their sins

Words interwoven between world's, one only a poet sees

Cerebral ecstacy

The reward for bearing the mark of a poet

In our gaze, every word is a moment

Time is always travelling at its slowest

This is not the work of Johnny walker or a bottle of moet

This is a paper trail, always travelling thin

Never blood wasted

Just Ink related

Vision to a poet, yet esoteric to others not related by poetic kin

A foreigner is lost within and searches for clarity

Where we find mediocrity

Our ink is our destiny

To believe otherwise is cerebral mutiny

We chronicle stories better than movie directors

And interpret words more than award winning actors

We are the true heroes

We don't lurk in the shadows or bask behind opaque mirrors

We write

One word a time until we right

All that has gone wrong in a world

Where the pen would always win battles much more than the sword

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 ...
