WOW!









BULLETPROOF VERSE 3

Kante:
You're so cold, but now I know
And you try to help, that I know
I'll pick up the pieces and grow
But up to you, I won't show

If you're ready, you'll come home
From east or west or where you roamed
I'll take a vacation; travel to Rome

Didn't do all that for you to love
Did it for you because I loved
But now, for me to prove my worth?

If you're in love, you'll show up
Please don't tell me to shut up
You left me, but like yeast, 
I'll come up

People keep asking me: what's up
But I just want them to shut up!
I'm dealing with things I never thought,
Don't forget we never fought.


Shore-Nice: 
You make me happy 
And you make me sad — all at once!
Memories with you are bittersweet all together!

You are just like the devil 
You give me little and you take much 
You rekindle my little heart with love 
Just for you to shatter my world 

You came to my life for a little while;
It felt like heaven
Only for you to give me scar forever
A scar that I still recovering from!

It's funny how certain people claim to love you 
Without evidence of love to show
Without evidence of love to prove
Love has action, but yours is just a reaction
To the circumstances around us.

I'm yet to recover 
From the scars you gave me 
But here I am 
Still reminiscing how real it felt. 
With tears in my eyes, 
I'm a victim of loving the devil 
When I thought you were an angel..

3rd March, 2022.


Shore told me he wasn't expecting a twist when I sent him Vashti's verse. He read and responded to the scene. It's a beautiful story with more twists, something we've seen and will see happening around our world. If you'll like to join the story, you know where I'll be.


Yours truly,
Iyanu.

TO KNOW I GOT YOU (WONDER WOMAN)

Omo, you dey make my heart dey beat Thinking of you, my mind dey sweet Like Chike I wan dey run to you Dem say life na suru But for you I be Eran Nuru I still smile when I think of you Revisit talks I had with you I dey bless God because of you Like which material he use make you?

Means the world to me, true! You're a woman but you are my bro And I respect you kindly, aburo.. ©el-iyanu, 7th of November, 2021. For a very...

IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO NOT KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Hello, and welcome to Haven Incorporated. This is the very first post minted in our press, and hopefully the continuation of something great. We hope you find value in this space and find it a place to stay. It's indeed a terrible thing to not know how great one is. Usually, we hear warnings to desist from pride and cease from arrogance, that pride goes before an unpleasant fall and humility comes before honour. But having a healthy sense of self and worth is not as emphasised. And I dare say, it's better to be proud than falsely humble! Just tonight, I saw a man who didn't know how great he was, and it pierced my heart to see him so. Maybe he knew, but only humbled himself for the moment, but I didn't think it necessary for him to have done so. But it's terrible to not know how great you are! It occurred to me that culture and tradition, perhaps, makes us stagnant and backwards in the face of progress. It is true that we learn great virtue and core valu...

THE LITTLE FAN

Blood on my hands, but it's only mine, Scratching the tissue while the blood flows out: The scars disappear before morning comes, No, for my sake, you won't catch me mourning storms! Job done, tissue discarded, What was the issue we all regarded? Won't catch me acting all retarded; Break up the group, you're all disbanded. I hope you aren't acting clever? Before you wound yourself forever. All that I am, I gave my blood, I went through a really difficult curve, So don't play me for the fool I'm not, Before you wound yourself for nought. Pain is my only companion, Sleep is a distant friend; Don't know what to do, Just want it to end. Moving out like tidal wave, Just want it to end. Asking myself the question, Who did I offend? For this pain, I can't compare. Sometimes I ask myself, why I'm the way I am, Then someone does something, And I remember why I chose to be this way 'Times I'm quickly angry I don't like being offended Especially...
