PROJECT TWINKLE : YOU ARE SOMEONE'S SHINING STAR

I stretch my finger in accusation at an acquaintance.
Why look down on people of low estate,
Why cringe at the mention of areas perceived as slum in the metropolis,
How dare You! Why won’t you do something?
So wealth is fearful of the masses, that’s why it resides only in your bosom,
May I ask to partake of the crumbs that roll off your table?
It is no value to you but your cast off makes tomorrow bearable for one like me.

I am deficient now don’t mean my future isn’t shining like the twinkle star,
Even when I wonder what I am now,
One day I might convince myself that despite dirty rags that now clings my skin,
And growling stomach about to devour its neighborly intestines and liver as food,
I may just believe that I am that diamond in the sky.
But now I need help to stay the dripping faucet that calls itself my shelter,
The holes in my tent are like observatory I often gaze the heavens, waiting!

Hoping that I am not forgotten here in the cold or baked by the scathing sun,
Maybe today I may receive a miracle from an unfamiliar hand.
Like Joseph, I may be called by a Good Samaritan to meet with royalty,
Then I can trade the rags for warmth, and eat a morsel to save my entrails.
Who knows, maybe someone will make life a bit better than it is right now.
It may even be you.

To Love a Man

dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy_love_by_zindy_affection_art dreamy love by zindy affectionp dreamy love by zindy affection dreamy love by zindy affection To Love a Man is not fashionable, its more than social media status and picture updates, its neither in the frequency of love cliche, it is beyond showing off and paying lip service, it is embracing the highs, lows and trails like a good soldier. It goes deep down to giving up self, It is not feminine opinion of love strategies. like a fell tree, it is those times in solitude you fall on bended knees, To offer propitiation to divinity in his stead, That he might remain strong for both you and him. Like a child that is spanked on the mother's knees, where it just cuddled to suck from her breast, It is to hold a man to the breast he craves and there Sing his praise, chastise, encourage, pray and engage him in artful play. To Love a man is to be his eyes, his cons...

WHY YOU MUST WRITE A WILL EVEN IF YOU ARE YOUNG

  A re you a young Nigerian man with these listed earthly conditions, I have to ask you a serious question. you have a wife you have children you have something worthy of transfer; Cash, financial assets, real estate, insurance, family heirloom, etc Have you made your will?  Oh; come on now I am not suggesting your death is anywhere close, God forbid. But we can both agree the world is no longer as it was, it has become smaller which is a great thing and the number of things that can kill you has gone past "A thousand ways to die". Let's consider a few trending options of dying; a strange virus (yup, it hasn't gone away yet), Stress from emotional and physical tension which is the leading cause of death in recent times, getting poisoned by a frenemy at a bar, get kidnapped with no ransom, get in a relationship with a murderous psycho, choke on chewing gum as you gossip, etc. I should probably not add to the tension as you read this but you get the drift....we are all ...
