Racism By: David O. AKANO



First of all it's a happy New Year. Sure the atmosphere has been sparkling and we all have been enjoying.

But let's take a few minutes off the merriment to think about others, let's talk about the people who live their lives in fear, people who only live for today and not tomorrow, not because they don't want to, but because they don't have the chance to. Let's talk about the children that are brought up with hate and the pictures of the cruel part of life.

These are the blacks in some of the countries around the world.

I ask myself, "does colour sticks?" If no, why do blacks live their lives hoping for survival and not have what it takes to survive. Why do we still have to check the mirror and confirm the colour of our skin before deciding to go for interviews?

What is the future saying to the young stars born with too much of hatred and violence? Is it a crime to be black?

Sure, Black is beautiful. But it's beauty circulate among other blacks, when you are out of the circle, you have no class. A crazy snitch with a cheese burger and fries but pumpkin and pork for dinner. Do we still have to live like we lived?

Tension battles with the blood running through their veins; who knows what tomorrow holds?

It's time we rose against racism more than ever before. It's time we called ourselves to order and with a single voice free the ones that live their lives in bondage, those living with chains of racism around their wrist and they dare not voice out for they've got to save their own neck.

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 ...
