When confronted by a shift,
Even a slight ruffling,
The core explodes within,
Letting out an unsettling drift.
Chernobyl 1986 comes to mind as I contemplate what must have run through the minds of socialist power mongers that elected to keep a tight grip on their positions rather than help the people in the first few hours of that gargantuan explosion. EVIL.

How easy for men,
To fall prey to the guiles of women,
Abandoning proper critical processes,
To simply thinking with their phalluses.
From boxing greats, to TV legends; football idols and Olympian gods, the malefolk have continued to give in to fleshy dictates that result in scandalous events that have 'shocked' the 'world of women'. But will men ever learn to use what's between their ears rather than what's darling between their thighs...hmmn?! SHAME.

They had the luxury,
Of avoiding the unnecessary evil,
But chose to abide with penury,
The height of everything but civil.
The woes of a country must be laid at the feet of her Arrowhead. FACT.

If you can see me now,
Will you be proud of how,
Things have turned out,
And give us a big shout?
By the time I woke up at thirty, and hadn't realised my dreams of thirteen years back, I could have continued to blame naivety but instead I looked up the road and took in my knapsack. STRONG.

Lessons in defeat,
Get up on those feet,
It is a wake up call,
Get ready, again, to stand tall.

Some things don't just add up,
So, the little guy is on top,
The Nigerian beast laid flat,
Smelled a fist, right from the start.
My brain didn't comprehend what my eyes were taking in after the half Mexican beat the half Nigeria be to clinch those belts.
Since the 'big baby' drugs bust, I just knew these guys were up to something.
Well, there'll always be another time to reclaim lost glory - but this story, is one big irony. STRONG.

To end...or not to end it all,
What other route is there?
This is too much to bear,
Peace, maybe, beyond the wall.
Another Nigerian kicks the bucket in suicide. The increased rate of such deaths may not have been noticed by power hungry politicians only interested in advancing selfish pursuits. But the streets are replete with stories of undergraduates, husbands, teenagers, many people drinking poisonous liquids just to end it all at once.
For plethora of problems they've concluded that there aren't solutions for, they choose to ingest ******, a commonly available pesticide, as permanent solution to whatever plagued them for so long.
Nigerians are fast becoming endangered species. SAD.
