They are boys not made of steel, Girls, not made of flowers

By
Parents expect so much youth from childhood

So much responsibility from infantry

Don't expect maturity from a child because they aren't mature to act mature

They are kids so why are you surprised when they act their nature????

Parents do wrong by wrongfully measuring their children by the standards of their bad decisions

Parents view their kids from the lens of their broken life

Asking too much from one so young

Expecting so much from one still developing

Using iron hands on feather skins

You are an adult and with all your seriousness and old age, you still make mistakes

Yet you will beat a child because he/she made one childish mistake

Let them grow old before you beat them cold

If they are indeed at their golden age, let them grow hotter first

Don't beat them while they are yet cold

They are but boys not steel

And Girls, not flowers

Have a wonderful week and if you have bought my book, Water and Fire...have an extra wonderful week ahead...the rest of you, get a copy of my book and get the extra!!!!

I love you all!!!

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

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...
