"WAILERS WAIL" By: Michael Coker





They call us wailers
Yes, they taunt us as wailers

But is wailing a crime?
Is wailing a disease?

What about when they mock us as wailing wailers?

But did we wail with their mouth
Or from their own lungs?

Wailing never started today
The isrealites till today have a wailing wall where they cry to God for help.
The wailing wailers sang and the governments of the world shook because Bob Marley wailed.

So, tell me what is wrong with our wailing today? Our wailing is our cry to the authorities
It is the only cry we can render to make them rise up to their responsibilities.

Wailing is the only art and voice for the
Voiceless and oppressed,
For the forgotten and the neglected.

Wailing is a thorn in the flesh of
Oppressors, dictators, wicked politicians and pen robbers, including armed robbers!

You can hail for all you care in
your self deceit, propaganda and lies
That's your bed to lie on.

But allow us to wail in the face of
Murder, killings, kidnappings, hatred, injustice, oppression, hunger, starvation, pains, perpetuity  bitterness and human trafficking!

Raise your hand mighty wailers
And wail till the authorities hear you. You will not be cowed or intimidated by any threat
until your wailings make an impact!!!

Salute to you wailing wailers!

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

Touching Story

     A cat was so faithful    that the woman    could leave her baby    with it & go out to    attend other matters.    She always returned    to find the child    soundly asleep with    the cat faithfully    watching over him.    One day something    tragic happened. The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego. In our brother’s mind, he was good.  On the 14th of December, 2016,  she left him without a word. He called her, texted her, but she did not reply and he continued with his life and he dated no one else. Two months later, his brother had an accident and needed blood. Of course, he ...
