Before I Walk Away

Before I walk away, I wrote this on New Year’s Day. Can’t really recall what triggered it though. It’s just somber and sad. It’s from way back, when I wrote a lot.

Before I walk away, I shall speak my mind

How does something so sure never come to be?

How come you and I never became?

How?

I don’t beat up myself because of us anymore

Like the pulp that was beat up to birth the gray paper on which I imprint my thoughts

I don’t

Before I walk away, I should say I don’t feel hurt that you walked away into the sunset

All things work together for good

It is for good I believe we don’t walk together anymore

I loved you,

I guess you loved me too

Before I walk away, let this note stand forever

A testament to a love that may have grown old

Let this note spring forth other notes uniting and giving me sad music

That will accompany me as I walk away

Before I walk away, let it be known that I am not sad

I never regret the moments we had

However, you my dear, you are consigned to the arms of posterity

Like the year 2012, you have no place in my calendars

I love you but its time I walk away

I have done all I said I would do before I walk away

So with gentle confident steps I walk away

For I have no reason to stay.

Falling: Of Risks and Losses

Credit: Jerry X Based on true life events The events described herein happened to a bosom friend of mine. It is with his sad commission that I share this story. He believes that by some stroke of good fortune, this story could be a way out of his sadness. This the story of my beloved friend whom I shall not name to protect his identity. My friend met this lady at a professional engagement about this time last year. In his words “I caught sight of her when she stood up to introduce herself. She just stood out from the crowd. She was not just beautiful but she spoke intelligently. I knew if I did not get her number, I'd have fallen hand”. He further confided that I served as extra motivation. That he knew that if he let her go, I'd not tolerate any made up stories. While I feel humbled, I must clarify that I do not push my friends to go a-philandering. I just detest sloppiness, timidity and inferiority complex. So when my friend brought news of his new acqu...

Ethereal Music: My Top 7

I feel am in Ether. What's Ether? Actually the question should be "where is Ether?" It a place deep airy place in my mind that I retreat into when I meditate and have those out of the world floaty floaty thoughts. Here are my Top 7 song for the last week in random order. 1. Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek This accapella song just gets to me in a very special way, most especially the part she sings "watcha say". Like am so much into a song with no beats! How amazing. Unfortunately, all her other songs don't appeal to me. 2. Maazid feat. Joy - Merry Go Round I never get tired of this song, it has been my consolation when my ship sail through dire straights. The fact that Maazid is in my school just makes the song closer to my situation. I don't know the dude but he sure thinks like me. Sorry this song doesn't have an album art. 3. High Society - Devil Pheeww, this song by them Sho Baraka, Swoope and crew has repeatedly been on repeat. I ...

Let it Grow

I watched the film The Lorax last weekend and I must admit: I was touched. In the film there is a town where the air is polluted so people have to buy clean air and there were no trees. It takes the determination of a little boy to convince the town’s folk to let him plant a tree and let it grow. The environment is continuously damaged by human activities. It is so bad that some Chinese fear the air they breathe. Cancer is one of the leading killer diseases there. Their problem we may say, but environmental issues are not always like that. The mess is made in one country; the effect is felt in more than one country. For instance some of the air pollutants in Los Angeles USA originate from China. The floods we had in Nigeria last year were due to release of excess water in Cameroun! Environmental issues have been largely ignored in our society, until the floods of October last year came. Climate change is for real and the time to act is now, we do not need to consult any Ma...
