Love sucks By: E. D. Oghre

(Please note
The following is not exactly poetry
Just the ravings of a mad man (lol Just joking)
Not suitable for readers under the spell of love
Readers discretion is advised)

They say it is better to have loved and lost,
than not to have loved at all.
Let me tell you something,
That's a load of crap.
Come on guys tell me,
Who came up with that crazy idea?
What was he high on?
Who said that?
Tell me let me go and dance on his grave,
Tell me let me go and desecrate his grave,
The way love desecrated my heart.

Does he actually know how much love hurts?
Does he?
He must never have felt the pain of losing a loved one,
The crushing sadness of them not being there again!
The pain of knowing that they are gone forever!!
Hey hey idiot, (pardon my language)
What were you thinking when you said that?
The pain never leave you.

You keep drowning in the memories,
Just like an anchor,
Pulling you to the bottom of the sea,
The memories are sharks circling,
Just waiting to devour you,
The good times become torture to your mind,
The bad one knifes to your heart,
Your brain becomes a bomb,
Just waiting to explode,
Ok ok!
Calm down.

Deep breaths,
You see i was naive,
I thought love will last forever,
I believed in the fairy tale of true love,
And happy ever after,
Until life slapped me in the face,
And said 'Wake up idiot'
This is not a novel,
Now I get why the singer said;
Who needs a heart when a heart could be broken?

Certainly not me.
So if you still believe in love at first sight
And true love which lasts forever
Wake up, stop kidding yourself
Cause the first step you take into love
Will bring you to the reality that
Love sucks (in an Adam Sandler from the wedding singer's voice)

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...
