EMILY KEMET By: Mr Dennyz





Emily Kemet was an African lady, 
She was a tall, lovely and dark skinned maiden,
Her skin glows like that of a new born baby
She was beautiful from sole to crown,
And she lived in a small hut downtown,
She was 38years old,
And she lived all alone.

   Every night, she'd ponder and wonder on why life's been so unfair to her, why life isn't treating her right and what wrong she could have done to life.

   She was beautiful, she really was, but she was unlucky. She had no man to call her own. Maybe it was her destiny to live her life alone.

   Although, she once had a man (mystery man) years back when she was 20, but he disappeared and left her with a letter of just six words; "I will be back for you". Emily is 38 now, and mystery man is not back for her yet.

   On one beautiful morning, she was dressed up in her most beautiful dress, cooked her favourite food and she ate. Hmmm! What a nice dream she must have had, a dream she'd never wake up from to tell. Emily had poisoned her food. She thought she had come to this world at the wrong time, she decided to end it all. She committed suicide.

   Just few minutes after, there was a knock on her door, it was mystery man, he was finally back for her, but it was too late. He knocked and knocked but there was no answer from within. He forcefully opened the door, Lo and Behold, there she was, his beautiful lady, gorgeously dressed, lying down on the floor, lifeless. He tried to wake her up but he was trying to wake a body without a spirit and soul.

   He cried, but no amount of tears could bring her back to life, she was gone and gone forever. If only she had waited for just few minutes more, maybe things would have changed, maybe she would have been happy again, maybe she would have had a reason to stay alive. But the deed had been done and can't be undone.

Are you like Emily Kemet? Do you find life so unbearable and you think it's not worth living? If only you'd just wait for few minutes more, you will be happy again. I know you've been struggling and hustling but you're not getting result, stay determined, focused and positive and verily I say unto you, You shall be happy again. 'GIVE IT MORE TIME'

"PATIENCE" and "ENDURANCE" two of the major recipes for a successful life.

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

 _The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

THE GCE GIRL By: OLUSEGUN AKINSANYA

Every year we welcome into our community several teenagers between 13 and 17 from far and near. They are both male and female. They have the same mission. They have come to write General Certificate Examination (G.C.E). Most of them are penultimate students in secondary schools. These little fellows have been fixed at centres nearby to write their exams and the people that brought them have accommodation as part of the payment agreement. Some of these children are leaving home for the first time. Some of them look like mom's pets. Immediately they hit the town, you see a lot of ambiance and noise, something like a carnival. They make noise in the morning while looking for water for domestic use and in the evening when they are back from their different centres. It's always a new experience for most of them, and they seem to enjoy it: yea, they seem to enjoy being away from home for a whole month, a kind of escape from the eagle eyes of their parents; they seem to enjoy a t...
