TRUE LOVE NOW A MYTH 3
If you missed the second episode, you can always find it on my blog.
episode 3
Alex sat down to think
about how he began to be like this. Well His mom taught him to be so and he
love this kind of life because it make feel like the boss, and it feels cool to
see how girls kneel down and beg him for mercy and he love to see that tears on
their faces, so he began to think on his next target and about how to make her
beg too. He paused and thought of Judith for a while but chuckle and knock off
the thought immediately because he need to be control no matter what.
He decide to take a
walk and as he was walking he bumped on a girl and he said he was sorry while the
girl was still looking at her stuffs maybe they are all intact, and when she
turned to face Alex… just wow is all Alex could remember, she was the
definition of beauty and for a moment Alex thought to himself “maybe it’s high
time I stopped playing a girl’s mind”. He said sorry again and for the girl’s
name “Sandra” she replied. Alex smiled and ask her where she was going in such
a hurry, she smiled and said she is late for a friend birthday party and she
have to rush down. “Can I keep your company while you do your rushing?” he ask
and she smiled and said “no problem”. Alex sat down and replay the event of
that day, he thought to himself “it’s time I stopped playing peoples mind,
because I love this girl named Sandra and can’t afford to let anything bad
happen to her”. (Alex) “Hello, hope I’m not interrupting anything?” (Sandra)
“No, so you actually called, I thought you won’t because of the cold shoulder I
gave you when you ask for my number”. (Alex) “Oh that… it’s nothing and since
you did tell me not to call you then I’m inclined to”. (Sandra) “Actually…”
(After four weeks)
(Alex) “Hello honey,
I’m missing you very badly how will I see you immediately?” (Sandra) “Well I’m
at home, I will be coming to your place soon”. (Knock on Sandra door).
Sandra was surprised as
she saw Alex standing there, he look at her and said “so wish actually come
through, I wish to see you and here you are”. They gist and gist things was
actually going smooth for eight month when Alex proposed to Judith she said yes
without hesitation and that was the best day in Alex life.
It’s now three weeks to
the wedding and Alex was on his one of his surprise visit to Juliet and as he
knocked an handsome guy opened the door and ask Alex if he can help him, Alex
said he is looking for Sandra, The guy called out and say “sweetie, someone is
here to see you” and she answered from inside “Babe I’m coming” and for the
first time Alex noticed that the guy who answered the door was on pajamas and
it’s glaring that he passed the night there, and now they are calling their
selves cute names, “don’t be ridiculous, he is just her elder brother and
nothing more” he thought to himself but his thought was interrupted when Sandra
came to the door to meet this guy at the door and before she looked at the
person standing she kissed this man passionately and the man spanked her on the
butt and told her not to be long.
Alex was like “I’m soon
going to wake up because all this is just a sick dream, just breath Alex
because it’s a dream and you will soon wake up” and finally Sandra to face him
and they are like “wow”. Sandra collapse that instant and Alex keep hoping this
is just a dream and he will wake up soon and when the reality set in he thought
to himself “it’s just better to die, how will a girl do me like this and when
our wedding is just three weeks, how can girl be so callous”.
Seems to serve Alex
right, but his determination for revenge keeps getting stronger, so He dressed
up and went to visit Sandra in the hospital and as expected she was shocked to
see him there but he assured her there is no cause for alarm and he just sat
down beside her quietly. After an awkward silence she tried to talk but he
shush her and she kept quiet and after he was satisfied with her been
uncomfortable he asked “why did you do it?” she took a deep breath and was
speechless, she prayed silently “God please let this moment pass away quickly”
and as her prayer ends, he asked again “who is that guy?” and still there was
no reply and he was about to continue with his question when she cried out “I’m
sorry Alex, I know it’s too much but I still love you and cannot continue life
without you, please forgive me I promise not to do it again…”

JUST MAYBE
Maybe you’re worth fighting for,
Maybe I’m the one you ignore.
Maybe I’m the ass,
Maybe I’m chasing shadows too fast.
Maybe I fired the shot,
Maybe I stirred the pot.
Maybe I’m the one to blame,
Maybe my excuses are all the same.
Maybe I’ve hurt you,
Maybe I didn’t fall for you.
But maybe I’m right,
Maybe it’s time to show my fight.
Maybe you made it tighter,
Maybe you’re scared to climb higher.
Maybe you’re the bore,
Maybe you’re the one I can’t ignore.
Maybe it’s not my fault,
Maybe it’s not what they taught.
Maybe screw you for reflecting this mess—

THE THREE BOYS (2)
If you did not catch the first episode you can always see it on my blog
episode 2
(At mid-night) Baba stand up with his
matchet and calabash, getting ready to work, he came to the room where the
guests are stationed, feeling happy and lucky, he was about to open the door
when he heard a fierce argument going on, the charm is using the voice of the
three brothers to speak like “that food is not good at all, even the palm wine
is too sour, the meat is too sour”, he was scared and went back to sleep.
The second morning, he got up earlier
than usual and wait for the boys in the parlor and as they enter he said to
them with a frown said “my sons, am very pissed with you, if you did not like
the food provided for you then you should have dared to ask”. The boys, sensing
the effectiveness of the charm did not deny it and just apologize for their
behavior which the charm makes it look like and they went on with their day.
That night Baba went to borrow money in
order to satisfy the boys and bought some sleeping medicine as well, so the
wife prepared a delicious fried rice and chicken with some chill orange juice,
and the sleeping medicine was added in excess to their orange juice, they said
thanks after eating and went to sleep, and this time the second brother went
ahead to put his charm on the door post. Baba on the other hand was feeling
fulfilled and satisfied that he has feed them to their fullest and if not the
sleeping medicine will be in action to see him through his plot, so he grabbed
his matchet and calabash and headed for the guests room, but has he was about
to open the door the charm start using the three boys voices again to shout
“that food is not even delicious, no salt, no nothing, it’s just there and we
have no choice than to eat it, damn I hate it here, I can’t wait for wait for
us to leave here as soon as possible…”. Baba was shocked and ran back to his
room with the thought of “how come, why will the sleeping medicine not work?
Why will they not enjoy that delicious meal?” “But I will never give up” he
thought to himself as he went to sleep thinking on what he would do next.
As the day break, the three boys enter
the living room just to find Baba was there already waiting for them and before
they could say a word He interrupted them and say “this is not the first I’m
asking you to have the gut to complain if you don’t like something, no need to
start shouting with complain once you enter your room”. They apologize once
again and promise it won’t happen again so they went on with the day as normal
as it could be by helping in the garden and helping Baba to grind some herbs
and before they know it, night is upon them again and as usual they have
another super delicious meal for dinner. Now the three boys are feeling nervous
because they know that night maybe the turning point in their life if things
work out the way they planned and if the last charm is a fake then they know
they are dead meat that night. So they remind the James not to forget to put
his charm before going to sleep as he should put it there himself.
But the drug had an instant effect on
Joseph and Stanley because they passed out almost as they lie down and Joseph
use the last strength in him to try and put hang the charm, and he was alarmed,
shocked and confuse because he is a short person and his hand to did not reach
the door post, there is nothing around to stand on and the sleeping drug was
already having effect on him, all effort to wake the brothers and tell them the
situation prove abortive. So he went to Baba wife room where the door post was
shorter hang the charm there and left for his room with the thought of “we are
really dead today, see how I kill my brothers and I can’t run away and leave
them behind, if we are to die then we must die together” so he lie down to
sleep.
It
was in the mid night again that Baba stand up to go on with his plot and this
time thinking to himself even if they are awake then I’m going to have to
overpower them because they will leave early in the morning and I can’t afford
to lose this three heads so he carry his matchet and his calabash as usual then
proceed to their room but as he was about to open the door, the charm started
to use the wife’s voice and shout “you want to kill those boys right, I won’t
let you do such a silly thing, neighbors please come and help this boys because
my husband want to kill them” the husband was shocked and went to his wife room
and said why are you shouting? Keep quiet or I will make your head the fourth
one but the wife who was deep in sleep could not understand a thing and said
“when did I shout? Are you dreaming? Are you normal?” then Baba said just keep
quiet if you don’t want to die so he slammed the door and left for the boys’
room again and as he was about to open, the charm start using the wife’s voice
again “you think you can threatening me right? I won’t let you kill those
children no matter what, neighbors he want to kill the children” “that’s it”
Baba thought to himself I’m going to kill this bitch today, so he went to her
wife room and killed her instantly and went back for the room but as he was
about to open up the charm start again “so you think because you've killed me I
won’t say anything right? I won’t let you kill these innocent boys no matter
what happens, neighbors where are you the useless man wants to kill this boys
please don’t let him” this time Baba was pissed to the highest level and in
annoyance went into his wife room cut his wife dead body into pieces, put it in
a sac and went ahead in burying her, except her head, so satisfy with himself,
he went on again on his plot, and as he was about to open the door, the charm
start using the wife voice to shout again, “killer, killer, don’t kill those
boys as you killed me, neighbors, we have a killer in the house” in annoyance
and frustration, He retired to his room and awaited sun rise.

THE THREE BOYS
A story based on patience and hard work
episode 1
note: some names in this story are local names so readers should please note.
It was a very cool evening when James
look around and he noticed there is no new thing around here, all has being the
same from the time he was a kid to this day, he taught to himself “if I can
ever make it, I will make sure that my parents enjoy me to the fullest.” No
need to get surprised because James background is out of the ordinary, he has
two senior brothers, and life from the day they were born to the present day is
a struggle. James was still lost in deep taught when his immediate elder brother
Stanley poked him and said “you lazy fellow, don’t tell me these are the little
firewood you have been able to gather since you left?” James told him he was
tired and ask for his help, they were still fetching when James ask Stanley
“are we ever going to make it?” Stanley was lost of words and power too. It’s
true they have been living in abject poverty ever since they realize they
existed, their education life was a disaster but they scale through somehow,
now that they are done with their studies, they need to make it, but it seems
everyone seem to lose interest in them as soon as they appear looking for job,
so all they do is work on their parent little farm and hope for a better
brighter day which to them now seems a fairy-tale.
“Hey, you guys have better hurry up,
it’s time for dinner, and you know how mom and felt if you are by the table on
time” Joseph the eldest beckon on Stanley and James, so they carried the little
firewood and set for home, on their way home, James ask his two brothers, “is
this how we are going to stay till will grow old and die of hunger? am sure mum
will be cooking the delicious meal we’ve been eating for the past three month
which is not even delicious anymore”, Joseph replied “I think have got a plan”,
with that they remain silent till they get home.
Joseph woke Stanley and James in the
middle of the night and told them about his plan, he said he knows the so
called professor who can get them charm for being rich without them getting
their hands dirty. The two brothers would have rejected but since it seems
that’s the only way, they agreed and set to go out the next morning. When
morning comes, they told their parent that they are going out to search for
job, with that, they left.
They met the prof as Joseph told them,
and they explain the dilemma they have been through and begged the prof to
please help them, the prof said he is going to give each of them a wish charm
that can transform them into any creature they want, but before it become
active, they need to make a three days journey on foot to a human part dealer
who sell mostly human head, and they are to stay there for three nights and
each night before sleeping each of them should hang the charm to the door post,
so they thanked the prof and set off on their journey, though dangerous all
they are concerned about is getting rich at all cost, “dangerous” to them now
is a luxury they don’t have time for, they need to make it and they need make
it fast.
Before they have time to think three
days already caught up with them and they found their selves in the front of
the so called Ritualist man
Joseph: good afternoon ma!
Ritualist wife: can I help you?
Joseph: we are looking for daddy.
Ritualist wife: he is not around, what
message should I give him?
Joseph: don’t worry ma, we will wait!
Ritualist wife: what for? I said he is
not around, don’t you love your life a bit?
Joseph: we can’t explain that now, but
we will wait for him no matter long it takes for him to come back!
Ritualist wife: I don’t think he will
come back until next year!
Joseph: we will wait!!!
Ritualist wife: since you insist on
endangering your lives I won’t stop you. Sit!!!
Three of them: thanks ma!!!
(Recap)(Before the arrival of the three
brothers)
Customer: Baba I need three fresh heads
before the week runs out!
Baba: no problem, I will see what I can
do, hope you know the price?
Customer: I will double the price no
matter how large, just make sure I get what I want!
Baba: alright let me head out now, come
back in six days, it will be ready!!!
(Back in)
After a wasteful search Baba cannot find
the heads he was looking for because people are now more cautious than ever,
and that has been very big frustration for him, as he was appalled still thinking of
the awesome price offered he looked up and saw three boys waiting for him, he
taught to himself “this is the work of the god’s, they want me to have that
money no matter what”, he smiled and hastily walked inside and greeted the
gentlemen, they both exchange pleasantries and Baba ask them what did they
want, they told him that they just need a place to stay for three days, without
any hesitation he agreed because of his evil plan.
That night they had a wonderful meal of
FUFU and nice soup with fresh meat and to cap it all fresh palm wine was also
served, the three brothers are very grateful because it’s been a while since
they had that kind of meal, so at night, Baba showed them their room and they
said thanks, and they all went to sleep, but before sleeping the eldest of the
three brothers hang his charm on the door post and went to sleep.

TRUE LOVE NOW A MYTH 2
If you missed the first episode, you can always find it on my blog.
episode 2
Kingsley was a
very gentle loyal guy who always believes in true love, he always dream of how
he will take care of the girl who will agree to be his, he already planned on
the trip the activities they will go through and how romantic it’s going to be.
(Just about two
weeks later) Judith was discharged from hospital and she is ready to go, while
she was strolling one afternoon she noticed someone was calling her from behind
and when she stopped to look back, she saw this young vibrant gentle guy
telling her to wait up, she stayed and for a moment nearly forgot her vow, but
something pinched her and she remembered Alex was more gentle though not as
handsome as Kingsley when she first met him. So her guards went up and she asks
“how can I be of help to you?” Kingsley stammered what he got to say (you how
some guys do it) and Judith thought to herself “this is a perfect opportunity
to pass my first aggression” so without hesitation she agreed to Kingsley
proposal and that day was a very special day him because to him this is a dream
come true. They exchanged contact and everything was very perfect for like a
month until when Kingsley called Judith one day.
Judith answered
and says “hello I’m very busy I will call you when I’m through” and it was fine
with Kingsley until he realize two days had already passed and Judith has not
called back, and has not been answering her phone, so in deep worry he went to
her house and that’s when reality starts to set in. Judith came out to answer
the knock on her door and her face changed immediately she saw Him and she told
Him “please what are you doing here, I told you I will call you when I’m
through with what I’m doing, why do like to always disturb me? Please go I will
call you when I’m through”.
Kingsley thought
to himself and end up blaming himself for not been patient enough for her, and
then another two weeks after there is still no call from her, so he called
again and ask “did I do something wrong? Or why are you avoiding me?” Judith
said there was nothing and that it’s because she was busy and she promised to
make it up to him.
And for like a
week everything went back to normal until one evening when Kingsley phone rang
and when he looked it, behold her lovely Judith is calling and he picked up with
a great excitement and Judith ask to see him for a very urgent matter and he
felt like flying with joy. He hurriedly dressed up in a hurry and left the
house to meet her.
Judith was
already sitting down in the spot they were to meet when Kingsley got there, so
as he sit down he ask “why do you want see me very urgently? Do you miss me?”
Judith forced a smile and told him “not only that but I have some more
important thing to discuss, and the main reason is… Kingsley, I’m not feeling
this anymore and I want to break up with you, I want you to forget about me
hence forth and don’t even ask me why because I don’t know either, all I know
is I just want a space from you and that’s the main reason I called you here”.
Kingsley looked into her eyes to see if she was joking and she did not even see
any trace of joke there.
So all he could
remember was “Kingsley, I’m not feeling this anymore and I want to break up
with you GBOAM BOOM GUAM” just like a bomb blast, despite her warning he still
went ahead and ask “why” and at that point Judith stand up and left the place
leaving Kingsley there alone not minding if he would die or not and she felt
like a queen, she felt she is in control and nothing is stopping her now she is
going to make sure all men that pass through the same thing Alex made her pass
through.
Kingsley woke up
from his fuzzy dream and begin to realize all that just happened was real then
all of a sudden he felt like crying, laughing, shouting, jumping, sitting,
sleeping, running, spinning, standing still at the same time, he thought to
himself that if he should go home that way he might die before getting home so
he lie down there and slept off with the thought of “how will I get through
this shit I got myself in?”.
Well it seems
legit now Judith is feeling special and Kingsley is depressed. Before we go on
with what happened to them let’s take a detour and see how Alex is faring.

TRUE LOVE NOW A MYTH
It was said that true love is real though rear, but I'm telling you true love is just a mistake people make for caring. let me give you a theory on how true love cease to exist. It's so simple. this story will compises of five episodes. leggo.
episode one
It was a beautiful afternoon, Judith was feeling happy
uniquely, no one knows the cause but her, she is extremely in love and she felt
lucky to have met such a lucky guy at an early stage of her life, she let out a
sigh as she remember the past they shared and how perfect it is, the promise
they made to themselves, she can even see herself carrying his baby, she can
see her on the same bed with him, she even sense her cooking his dinner, the
picture of how their wedding is going to look like is already in her head.
Everything seems perfect and no one is stopping this now, she thought to
herself. Suddenly the vibration of her phone brought her back to life and wow
it was a text message from Alex saying “we need to talk babe”. She felt excited
because she said to herself “wow, he is finally going propose to me after all
this while, I swear I will love him for eternity”. She then dresses up to meet
the love of her life.
Things
seem a little bit different when she got to his apartment and it’s all good to
her, she announced her presence and He came out of the room. Alex looked a
little bit intense “maybe because he his nervous on what my answer will be on
the proposal” she thought to herself, then she move closer to him, gave him a
hug and a kiss and ask “what is it you want to see me for?”. He said “Judith
this is hard for me so I’m just going to cut the long story short, I want to
break up with you because I’m not feeling this anymore, and I can’t cope with
this anymore so please leave me alone”. Everything now comes in slow motion as
she tries to sink what she just heard. She then asked “that joke is not funny,
so please don’t crack it again” but the silence in the room brought her to her
senses and she realize he is not kidding, so she ask “did I do something wrong?
What have I done?” and before she could continue he silenced her and told her
to leave that instant. She felt light and dammed about her life, she just
wished she could just die and leave the earth for good.
As
she was lost in thought she began to feel this headache and pain in her chest,
she just wished all this was a dream and she would just wake up soon. But just
then she realized this is not a dream, as she was deep in thought everything
seem to get darker and darker and until…
Judith woke up with
a very mighty headache and realize she was on the bed, the bed was nothing
compared to hers and as she manage to look around, she saw that she was in a
hospital. How come she did not even know how she got here, then she remembered
that she fainted and as well as the reason behind it and she begin to cry, she
just want to die and get it over with. She picked up her phone to call Alex and
it’s a waste of time and it makes it more painful to her. That moment she swore
with her life that most men must feel what she felt this day, and she said she
will make men suffer no matter what. And that day she buried her heart and made
herself a complete stranger to the word love and she begin to practice how to
become a real time player like Ronaldo.
And that’s where
the whole story starts.
Stay tuned...

FAKE BEINGS
FAKE FRIENDS
Now
you remember me again
And
I can bet it’s not when am in pain
But
you back here makes me insane
Because
hurting me is like your main
Now
that I forgot the feelings you made
Joy
again I can take
And
you got back in a wake
Why
did I even meet you for heaven’s sake?
Must
you make me sad?
Must
you make me bad?
Must
life for me be that hard?
Why
can’t you just leave me in my retard?
If
I say this time is different it’s a lie
Cos
you’ve made all the pile
Thinking
of it make me sigh
I
just wish I could die
I
will just accept me as I am
Take
all the burns with my palm
I
will be happy if I read some psalm
Till
you come again to peel my palm
ME AGAINST THE WORLD
ME AGAINST THE WORLD
Maybe
am always wrong
Maybe
these are my fault
Maybe
I did not hit the dong
Maybe
it’s what I taught
Friends
rose up against me
Enemies
won’t let be me
When
will my deeds be free?
How
will I be sometimes me?
I
tried to calm
Take
things big as my palm
Trying
to read some psalm
Trying
to make things plum
I
walk up to friends and ask
I
walk up to foes to ask
It’s
not an easy task
For
my every ask
Am
I always wrong?
Did
I always do the pissing?
Is
it always my fault?
Am
I the one to blame always?
In
amusement ‘yeah’ they chorus
Making
me loose some focus
Now
my nose running mucus
Giving
up for me is now bogus
I
tried to think twice
Maybe
I even did it thrice
Because
with fear am white
Even
crowded I saw only me in my sight
Now
I know it’s sealed
No
friends here just foes
Now
I know it’s wheeled
No
blessings here just woes
It’s
me against the universe
It’s
only me in this verse
The
war just got strong like brass
Now
I realize my mass
It’s
really me against the world
Me against the
UniverseCONFUSED
NOW WHO AM I
The
more I know the harder it is to learn
The
harder I work the harder it becomes to earn
When
will I acquire my true yearn?
When
will life over here be cool like a tin?
The sick taught in my head I wanna’ ban
I
just wanna stop this laughter and be stern
But
the more I tried the more my mission do me ban
My
taught still rolling like a fan
My
mind still in use like a pawn
I
just seem doomed like I am
Monday, 25 August 2014
NOTHING IS FREE
Nothing
is free
Even
in this drinking spree
I
still have to salute the buyer
For
it to roll like
Nothing
is free
Even
if you help me
I
still have to thank thee
Or
you will say badly me
Nothing
is free
Even
when doing a favor
The
one you expect me to devour
You
will still expect one in your detour
Nothing
is free
Even
for you to take from God
So
that you won’t mud
You
have walk in odd
Because
nothing is free
Nothing
is free
Yes
only nothing is free…

the way i feel
The
more I know the harder it is to learn
The
harder I work the harder it becomes to earn
When
will I acquire my true yearn?
When
will life over here be cool like a tin?
The sick taught in my head I wanna’ ban
I
just wanna stop this laughter and be stern
But
the more I tried the more my mission do me ban
My
taught still rolling like a fan
My
mind still in use like a pawn
I
just seem doomed like I am
never give up ever
Maybe
this is what I need to feel
Maybe
I never need to know the drill
Maybe
it’s good for my life to pill
Maybe
that’s why am here still
Here
is the deal
I
just love this meal
And
am never going to seal
You
just chill
Let
them think they got you still
Now
refresh and cool down like a steel
Now
re-launch your attack in this dammed hill
