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.

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...
