I know the 'WHYs' that precede your tears:

Brace up, you're not the first!

I know that sigh, that silence:

It reminds me you wish I'm there.

I know how 'I love you' ends:

Talk of recycled tales.

I know you now regard me less:

You got the jewel. So what's left?

I know you think it's useless:

Don't give up, it's just a fleeting process.

I know genuine sorrow, friends:

Sun dry your crocodile tears.

I know the peace of death:

Goodbye is just a recess.

I know the cramps of ink fest:

I'm just a menstruating poetess.

I know the stench of emotional mess:

blame the wanton goddess.

I know that crowd moment,

when one feels rather friendless.

I know the schedule of eternity Godless:

Time for burning is endless.

I know the guile of pretense:

just when did I lose my essence?

I know the stain of greases:

makes saints of gypsies.

I know the weight of crosses:

Leaves one between heaven and abyss.

I know perilous times:

They peel away smiles.

I know the pang of weakness:

It pricks like an eternal illness.

I know the taste of sweetness:

of course, she left me tasteless.

I know the sound of sadness:

It groans in silence.

You know, God knows our hearts aches:

He promised. He won't fail.

Eureka will soon rent the air.

Only this, I know not when.

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.
