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.

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 values from our...

THE MAN WHO LOST ALL HOPE

This is the story of a boy who couldn't cope But there was a man who gave him some hope With love, he washed him like soap Till the depressed was full of hope. This is the story of the boy who couldn't cope Till a man came and gave him some hope. But, then, we heard he died; That is, the man who gave him some hope. But how did he die? We heard he took his own life Because he, too, couldn't cope... It's indeed strange, how some of the most friendly and helpful people in the world have deep struggles they share with no one, how despite giving hope to others, they end up taking their own lives, or keep suffering in silence. It's a deep tragedy indeed. Let's also take out time to give joy to those who always do their best to make us happy. © tokede el-iyanu 2021

THE STORY A PROFESSOR TOLD ME

A story my professor told me, A new way of life, it showed me; Those who are wise will hold this, For every man needs to know this. And so he said to me: A man came to him in need, Sir, I need your help to feed: My dear sir, please... But this wasn't the first, And surely won't be last, Professor thought to himself: We can't keep doing this. And, so, Professor said to him: I, as well, I am in need, You see, my car, I need to clean, And you, you need to feed, Can we consider it a deal? And the man thought it wise a thing. Indeed, it was wise a thing; To be paid as much as kings— Where do you find such a thing? Wise, if you know what that means! As the man washed Professor's car, Some also needed to clean theirs, So the man washed their cars, And also cleaned his scars, For a beggar's soul is scarred. Now, he doesn't need to beg; The wise will learn a lesson, In a story filled with lessons. A word is enough for the wise, Or for those who want to be wise.. ...
