ROBBED



His future was stolen,
Replaced with a token,
Smaller than the certain,
Yet presented as a fortune,
Deceived he was, by the outspoken.

He had a future, brighter then the lights of Sirius,
Clouds of hope, thicker than the clouds of Venus,
With dreams larger than the rings of Saturn,
Thoughts of discovery, positivity and possibilities like a mindset of star,
But he was deceived by the outspoken. 

Gifted with weapons, sprinkled with bullets,
The power to wreck havock and take life,
At first he was driven,the aim to be chosen,
Power was to be given,alongside a future with pudding,
But it was all deceit from the outspoken.

A lil pay check for the check,and a drink for the pain,
Some lies for the sake,and some pills for the crase,
His future, dreams and hope were robbed off of him.
While his peer, their kids pursuing what he once sought, but now he is nothing but a political hooligan,
His life was stolen, now he is but a victim of deceit.

Too late to turn back,
Too cruel to seek forgiveness,
Too dark and black to seek the light, 
But he was only deceived by the outspoken,
Who are we to judge, for God watches over.

Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people. Remember the proposal some time back that all politicians should educate their kids within Nigeria? The dismissive response to that idea was telling. It's clear they prioritize their own convenience over the needs of the people. We mustn't be naive to think they have our best interests at heart. It's imperative for us, the citizens, to organize and protect our own interests. Unity among us is paramount, transcending divisions based on religion

The Merchant of Venice

I got to the point of deliberately using movies as an extension of my library. It was 2 weeks to the exam and the book "Merchant of Venice" would not enter my skull no matter how hard I tried, it was a book written by Shakespeare and like the usual Shakespeare style of writing this would be a bit technical also because of its settings (in literature setting means the actual place and time of an event). This literature is centred around the old Italian environment. So there were many terminologies used in English that were unclear because of the Italian twist. Don't forget it was 2 weeks before the WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam.  The Twist - So my beautiful literature teacher got informed that there was a premiere of the Merchant of Venice book (the movie) at another school and gave us the update. It was the needed update very sure than any 'maga or fraudsters' update would rely on. It was a turning point in how I would begin seeing and interacting w
