Never Is the N Word

  Oluwaseyi Johnson  N ever in my wildest dreams would I have  Thoughts that speak sentiments and  Pain that scream sorrow and  Death that stings unrelenting digging  Deep to the core, the centre of the  Soul, that's void, a vacuum housing the  Bridge,that connects the body and  Mind that houses the thoughts of my wildest  Dreams that are big, and greater than  Myself, I seem inflicted with travails and  Grudges which hold on to the  Past that only prevents the revealing of the  Future which seemed vague but  Transparent because of the beaming Light from the throne of the  Father, haba Father you taught me Well to the height of saying Never in my wildest dreams would I have  Thoughts that speak sentiments and pain. Never!

Will We Ever Feel Safe And Secure?

Image
Safety is a surety of protection. It doesn't matter the form it takes. As humans, we live our lives towards attaining secure surroundings but our own meaning of safety seems to be misplaced. When a person is safe, it means the person is indeed protected—body, mind, and soul safe or maybe just soulfully safe. I mean our body depreciates eventually but our soul may live on. Now to the question, will we ever feel safe and secure? where will your soul be when you die, where will it go too? In this world of constant battle with the mind and soul, we are faced with surrounding human adverse elements as well as natural occurrences, as some say disaster that threatens or existence. Be it Political or Bioterrorism, insurgency, inflation, deflation, criticism just to mention a few. How can we literally be safe? What about the war in neighboring countries that has spanned for more than 50 years? Or the most recent brewing once? Mothers, women and children are killed every day but the war make...

How I Overcome a Decade-Long Crush

 I think having the crush experience is a beautiful thing. At least, it connotes that you are human and you have feelings. It's just that there is a distinction when it comes to what you do with the feeling. Do you keep it or you make your confession? K. Fraser. I was very young, a teenager when I discovered that I had a crush. Actually I had series of crushes that hailed from my admiration of the opposite sex. It sparks from how nice the person is, how intelligent and mostly how good looking. So, bear with me, this is purely my younger self speaking. I had a crush on a particular guy while I was in highschool but the feeling faded when I learnt about his low hygiene level even though I wasn't better off myself. I had a crush on another guy, much more older than me, he was in the university. He came to my school for talks I guess. I can't say I fell in love with his eyes but I'll say I admired his eyes. Oh my! They were a shade of chocolate brown and it gave this golde...

My Thoughts From Watching A Docudrama - A Medium Possessed By A *Rayam god

Image
  Chinh Le Duc I believe in the Maker of heaven and earth, though I'm not perfect, I strive to be a better believer every day until Jesus comes. As a writer, I immerse myself in reading and watching movies, particularly docudramas lately, as they provide valuable insights into my current projects. Recently, I came across the documentary "Medium," which follows a shaman's family discovering that their Rayam god is supposedly controlling one of them. However, their lives take a terrifying turn when they realize the possession has nothing to do with the goddess. Directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun, this supernatural horror movie, spoken in the Thai Isan language, is a true work of art. As a creative, I appreciate the extensive research done by the team. I always perceive God's presence, no matter how subtly conveyed the message may be. The storytellers shed light on the true desires of these mediums, revealing how curses and ignorance of the truth influence our lives. ...
