I Am Unique

I know there's shit in my arse but let one man come up whose arse doesn't stink. I do not have confidence because I have no flaws, I have confidence because I see the flaws in other people and a man brags about his penis no matter how small.
So what's the need in the comparison? The opinionated selection of right and wrong measured on the yardstick of ignorance and an overbearing sense of self righteousness.
Everyone thinks they're smart.
Yet again Descrates did say 'Good sense is the most evenly shared thing in the world because each of us thinks he is so well endowed with it...'
How then can you fault my opinion?
Gospel rapper Lecrae says 'If what's true for you is true for you and what's true for me is true for me, what if my truth says yours is a lie?
Is it still true?'
In reality, no one is truly special and no one is the same for we are all unique.
So why should you judge me and will me to bend to your shape? Why would you imprison me in your opinion of an ideal man or woman or boy or girl? Why can't I just be me as I am in the many shapes and sizes that I come and in the confusions and clarity of thought that plagues me?
If you want to see yourself then look in a mirror not in my eye.
You would say you brought me up, hatched me out of my shell, fed me and helped me grow and now that I have grown wings you say I shouldn't fly. You forget that in the end everyman has a path he must follow and it is often not the same path.
At the end of the day everyman must know what's best for him and must trudge along that path with as much diligence as he can muster.
Life is a canvas, we are all artists.

Saanyora - Journal Of A Serial Killer

What do you do when you feel like killing someone but you can’t? I’ll create a character in my mind, give him an offence, and then kill him. So here goes 04-01-2014 Dear Gia, It had been eight weeks since, but today I did it again. It wasn’t a woman. I’m tired of women; it seems no matter how much you kill, you just can’t wipe their filth off the face of the earth. I remember the book you showed me in the bible- Proverbs- it said no matter how one grinds a fool it never removes his folly. That was how women were. This time it was a man, a full grown man like me. I watched him from afar; he was with a woman in his car, parked by the roadside. They sat in silence for the first few minutes, and then tension rose. I couldn’t hear them so I read their lips. He was shouting, she was shouting too. He pointed his fingers, she pointed too, and their faces were stern. His voice rose above hers. He said he was fed up with her, she should leave him alone, she always bothered him by poki

'The Visitor'

Last year a visitor came to our house. He wore a dead grey suit and carried a famished bible in his left hand. His head was so bald that it gleamed under the orange light bulb at the door way, when Anita opened the door; it was the first thing I saw. Mama called him Prophet and said that he shall be staying with us for that week. That he’ll help us ‘battle’ the spirits that killed Papa. Yesterday she’d asked Anita, our house girl, to clean up the spare room. I watched her expertly push the two mounds on her chest, shifting, dusting and sweeping. When she was done, she exhausted a canister of air freshener and the pungent scent gripped the air. At the door, the bald black man stood with pride, his muscular frame occupied the doorway.  I watched him walk into the house, welcomed by Mother, in such a manner characteristic of a hardcore prayer warrior, never for a minute holding a canal smile. He sank into the sofa and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He shut his eyes to let

Of Donald Trump, Wole Soyinka and Green Cards

So the Nobel Laureate Professor refuses to cut his green card now that Trump has won. Professor Wole Soyinka He had said: “If in the unlikely event he does win, the first thing he’ll do is to say [that] all green-card holders must reapply to come back into the US. Well, I’m not waiting for that. “The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up.” Culled from naij.com I was a tad surprised to see this man I respect so much, jumped into such a conclusion as hasty and costly as that. I, on my part, expected Trump to win (I don't know why but I am aware of the uncanny game fate plays. The way she always brings the unexpected). I thought,  as a writer, I needed to be aware of the possibility of a TWIST. So when Trump was leading, I wasn't so shocked. When he won. Huzzah! But Prof has now been put on the spot and even though people would had thought at first that it was a safe bet 'Like, Trump can't win over Hillary,
