Stuck In My Head

Stuck in my head,
Like a piece of meat hidden in my teeth.
Stuck in my mind,
Like the beginning of constipation.
Difficulties upon difficulties plague me,
Ravaging seas and churning storms.
I’ll enjoy this tumultuous times while it lasts.

All things being equal,
You’re always mine.
Never for a moment,
Doubt my dedication to you.
I might be knocking on the doors of disaster,
But stuck with you, I always will.
You’re stuck in my head,
Like that elusive piece of meat!

King of Ghosts

The need for validation and companionship,
Is part of the genetic makeup of humans,
Six billion people looking for someone to anchor them,
Someone to make feel alive in this world of ghosts!

What happens when everyone is attached?
What happens when the one you love is taken?
Not by the cold hands of death,
But by another who doesn’t want to be a ghost!

Every other ghost is loved,
Save one.
This ghost tried to dwell among humans again,
But it’s a losing battle.

Day by day, this ghost stop looking for companionship among humans.
This ghost seeks the warmth of others,
Alas! No one wanted him.

Alone forever, he is doomed.
Dwelling among humans, but a ghost he is.
Hatred for life blossoming in him.
I am him.
I am the King of Ghosts.

The Voices #3

Nightmares in daytime,
And sleepless nights.
Waring emotions,
And destructive notions!
So I decided to talk it out.
The Voices in my head made for good companion.

They call it madness,
I call it evolution!

Falling and Failing

Hot tears streaked down my cheeks. The rivulets of water soaked my beard till they can’t hold anymore. I took a mirror and looked at my face for a very long time. All I saw was sorrow, emptiness, and a boy just trying to exist.

And for a very long time I’ve been managing. But I don’t think I can continue like this. I don’t want this to continue. I wish it would all end.

Yes, I was deeply in love. Yes, she was the best thing that happened to me in a long time.

Yes, she wants me to let go. Yes, I want her to be happy. So, the fact that I want it to end, I’ll never tell her.

Yes. Life goes on. But can I keep up?

Burnt Men

I have seen a dead man. I have closed the eyes of a dead man. But never before have I seen a man or men burned alive. The images of the burnt men will stay long on my phone and longer in my mind.

Who would burn another human alive? Why would they carry out jungle justice? It is so unfair! They should have been handed to the police! Yes! Serves them right! Next life, they won’t choose to be armed robbers. These sentiments and various others rang loudly around me as I continue to take pictures of the gory sight the burnt men made.

Oh yes! The burnt men were armed robbers. They were chased over a distance of 15 kilometers by the police and vigilantes alike before they were caught. Was their robbery successful? No one could provide the answer to that question. But they were apprehended by the vigilantes first. No further judgment was carried out. They were tied and tires wrapped around their head. In less than 60 seconds, petrol materialized (in a land of petrol scarcity).

The vulnerability of human life is a joke. Life in itself is futile. One minute, they were men. Alive. Running away. Oh! Did I mention that they had guns? The armed robbers (well, the armed part should have done that). One minute they were men, and the next, they were just charred carbon molecules.

Fraud. Theft. And similar forms of income will forever lead to one destination. And that’s a disaster. Sooner or later, the time will be up, and evil will reap its reward.

There was a time

There was a time,
When savings trumped expenditure;
When dinner was ready before lunch is taken;
When money had meaning;
And honour was recognised!

There was a time,
When love meant love;
When promises weighed more than the words;
When forever was a very long time.
And hardwork was rewarded!

There was a time,
When government governed;
When roads were motorable;
When civil servants were civil;
And human abuse was reduced!

There was a time,
When life had value;
When offices were earned not bought;
When youths were youths.
There was indeed a time.

Root of all evil

The root of all evil,
And the evil that spreads the most root.
The cause of all evil,
And the evil with the worst curse,
Is love.

For love,
Murder has been committed.
And for love,
Sincere commitment have being murdered.

The snares of love,
The dangers of love,
And the pain of love,
Are unavoidable!
Inescapable!

Love brings out the worst in humans,
But for you,
I’ll always be in love.
Even though I know the dangers!

The Prodigal

Things change
Feelings change,
And people change too.
Never for once did my affection changed course.
Even with the weight of absolute love,
I sunk deep in the sea of betrayal.
I fell into the pit of irreparable damage,
And deeper into despair than ever before.

The pain I dispatched was enough to go round,
And many more attached to my soul, mind and existence.
I opened a wound you would rather close,
I tread a path you have always avoided,
I brought up pain you thought buried.

For these and many more,
I regretted.
For the pain,
The unexpected betrayal,
The unbelievable anger and perceived hatred.
Sincerely, I’m sorry.
And like a prodigal son,
Please, take me back!

Love is Ruin

Love me like you mean it,
Is just a greedy human talking,
Like Oliver Twist,
Love wants you wanting more.
You get a smile,
And love wants you to demand laughter.
Love gets you a penny,
And love wants you to demand millions.
Love is growth,
But love will drive you to your ruin.

What’s this life?

I met a stranger on the road,
I helped her.
She prayed for me,
Like I mean the world to her.
For hours.

I offended the one I love,
I apologized. I showed remorse.
She treated me like a stranger,
For days.

What’s this life?
That comes with no manual
