Fri-End

Someone with all the money in the world but no one to enjoy it with, would be depressed (argue with your solitary self).


Admittedly that's an extreme example, but the truth is that all of the enjoyable things in the world get old quickly without a friend to share them with.



On the other hand, if a person was experiencing all the hardships in the world, they may go insane without the aid of a friend.


People that don't have anyone to socially interact may lose their minds and develop an imaginary friend just to ease the loneliness.


Human interaction is necessary. It is simply the way that we are wired. This is why it hurts when a cherished friendSHIP sinks in the sea of distrust, blame game and fame.



POEM 37: FRI-END



Rising from the ashes 
of burnt friendship
my hands free
my heart unchained
I write this poem, 
to him from me
I may never get myself out
of the memories that linger still
but like full moon that after awhile appear
He’ll never leave my childhood picture frame



He's just a memory now
What seems like a great friendship
turned into a pool of blames and guilt.
We were everything
Everything beyond the borders of friendship
He was my everything
So was I...to him.
until out of the blue
he replaced me with something new.



Angels without wings we were
until the demons took over
taking the shape of who we were.
It's just a few days gone
yet it feels like a year already done.



Friend he was
Fri-end he is
and a life without him 
is living with memories of him
and struggling to live without him.

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Celebrating the “father of modern African literature”: Chinua Achebe

Today I join Google to celebrate Chinua Achebe's 87th birthday. Chinua is the father of modern African literature who with literature has touched many lives. Chinua Achebe was one of the greatest African writers of his generation. On what would have been his 87th birthday if he was alive, Google is paying its respects to Chinua Achebe on its homepage. Go to Google.com to view the doddle. Unarguably, Achebe’s influence on African literature is inestimable. He’s widely known to be the “father of modern African literature” with novels which projected Nigerian and African culture globally at a time when much of the continent was freshly free from the chains of colonialism. Chinua Achebe passed away March 2013 in the United States of America at the age of 82. The literary icon's journey to literary greatness started with ' Things Fall Apart ', which was his first book. It was released nearly 60 years ago in 1958 and regarded as one of the most widely read books in Africa.  ...
