CARNAGE

-



Extreme fury! Just like the practice in an abattior

Behold! Carnage an act of sacrilege unleased in my homeland.

Such a terrific prey on the demos with machetes and Guns


I cry, I cry, I cry, carnage! a total onslaught carried out in my homeland

A pathetic height of butchery displayed in a country yard


Tears turn river, carnage! a proliferating evil in my homeland

Corrosive dash for cuts on the innocents grill tears 


Sobbing in agony, carnage! All claws of anguish taking pre-eminence in my homeland

Rain of Tears dominates the atmosphere in the midst of bloodbaths


Misery dorm, carnage! a woe striving in my homeland

Children out in the cold shouting for survival in the eyes of cruelty


Bewildering fear, carnage! an act of peril scaling the height of time in my homeland

Mothers running To and Fro with unclothed breast out of painful incertitude

Lo! their husbands breathing their last in the pool of blood


Liveless bodies littered all around in the face of a trembling snarl

Destructions took the mantle of attention with homes and properties in flames

Mourning came trending while, the potentates speak of the upcoming selection


Carnage! A big vestige in the background of my country

Cyclical imbroglio, reading down the lines of history.

A Diary of the Depressed

 Depression: a single word with weight like a ton of metal, weighing down on the heart, weighing down on the soul.  We can explain depression as a clinical disease or something that should be diagnosed, but it is far deep than that.  To think depression has a definite explanation or cure, is to not know depression at all.  You know, it starts out different for each one of us, sometimes we associate it with feelings of love, hate, anger, sadness, and emotions we can't even name.  Other times it's simply unexplained, the answer to the question of  'what is wrong' or 'why the sad look', is often met with a blank reply, a shrug here or the commonest reply: 'i'm fine'.  How do we even begin to answer what we don't know ourselves. At that moment, when all we can see is dark, when all we know is that terrible feeling of hopelessness, yes! that's it, hopelessness. A feeling of loss at live's many joys. There's an absence of Joy and love in ou...

Do we control our Brains or Do our Brains control us?

  Have you ever held you urine for a long time and on the sight of a means of convenience it seemed liked your bladder would burst that very second? Likewise when you hold your bowel movement for a long period of time... I bet you have.  So, what really happens at that moment? Science explains that at the sight of a means of convenience the brain tends to release it's control on the external urethral sphincter.  The bladder has two sphincters, internal and external which guard it's exit. The internal sphincter is entirely under the influence of the autonomic nervous system while the external sphincter is under the influence of the conscious mind (cerebral cortex), even when the full and the internal sphincter is opened we could still control our urination by our influence on the external sphincter. But there is something rather strange about this phenomenon that makes us suddenly lose control of that sphincter when we see a place of convenience. Could it ...

The true African Reality!

  Africa has been portrayed as a continent of the poor, countries with hungry children, visible ribs and bloated stomachs, war torn countries. Our countries have been written off as some of the most corrupted in the world. Though there's always truth in it all, that's about everything we are to international media and bulk of the international entertainment media who sees us as  the major destination for any portrayal of hut-and-bush inhabiting black people. Unrefined and impoverished is what Africa is constantly portrayed as in foreign movies and music videos. Funny! we find ourselves warming up to these notions, in fact we get comfortable at the thought of us been poor and primitive Africa, easily accepting to be at the receiving end of medical aids, relief funds, and donations. Although nothing is inherently wrong with all these,the problem is constantly finding ourselves as the victims, and been comfortable,if not happily remaining in that status. It's so bad that it se...
