WHAT MAKES WRITING DIFFERENT

If the tongue could stomach great emotions enough, then there would have been no need to write in books.
If the mouth can hold unto words long enough without it dropping as if shrinks with time, then writing would have been a waste of time.

If pictures and sculptures and painting could express thoughts enough, revealing the true state of the human mind, then writings would be something of no worth.

If dramatic actions and dialogue could birth itself on stage, then scripts are nothing but toilet sheets.

If writing is nothing but a thief of time, stealing our moments and energy and activities, then the Holy Spirit wouldn’t have inspired the writing of scriptures.

If music could reach unto the soul enough, then David as a case to answer, the psalms then would be full of lies.

If home could home me well without any need to beacon to my pen, then God! The giver of all, the one that gives all things to man and knows what is best, why didn’t you change this and give me another? It’s because without writing, all tales would be communal, but mine in books, would be ME speaking and the WORLD receiving. It wouldn’t be mixed with salt when there needs be sugar and sugar when there needs be salt in expressions.
Writing like other tools of expressions in art, speak the mind and tells stories, but each has its own ways and lights. Are you a writer? Then be proud to be. Are you a word bearer? Then be proud of it. Your thoughts are not yours to keep, your writings are not yours to read. They are for the world to drink, give them. They are for minds to feed on, feed them.
THE WORLD IS WAITING, WE ARE WAITING, HISTORY IS WAITING.

Remember there can’t be a history without you, for HIS-STORY only becomes History when it’s being made known by you (HIS).

Make His-story, by penning His-story, Your-story.

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

WHO DOES THIS BELONG TO? By MIDÉ BENEDICT

This is for those Who see life as an unfair land, Where growth is fairly found only On luck's fragile and ferocious tree: It is for those whose eyes only See reality as a coin Always tossed to uncertainty: For those who see misery As an inescapable ditch, Never to be seen when its mouth agars, Never to be escaped when its venom runs, But to be delivered like a slave for a ritual, Thrown like a cotyledon into dry soil, To germinate failure like a blocked well, Hoping to salvage a droughty throat. For those whose first name is lucky, Whose last name is uncertainty And middle name misery, Know that which you know not that The poison in your tongue is The wine your life drinks; It drinks on and on till stupor calls for death And stupidity dresses its grave Like a young man before a mirror, Staring unthinkingly at his face, Till he sees greyness in his eyes. This is for those who see eye to eye With the words on this slate. Image by Midé Benedict

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover. Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot; Mountains tied to your legs While eyes go dark As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light; What a freedom!
