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.

TWO WATERS by Mide Benedict

                               When two stones meet, they say, either one breaks the other, or they both break into pieces, but when two waters mix, they become one, and inseparable: so was the way it went for Akanji and Aduke. The day was bright at that time. The light of the sun shinned through the clouds, covering large fields of grasses and making them appear very radiant in their green skins. Akanji had kept it in mind for long: his heart pierced him badly that he knew that day was the day he would regain his freedom. Aduke, an elegant lady with vibrant smiles, enormous charms that made men melt on sighting her, sat beside Akanji as they usually did everyday. Many men have dreamt of Aduke in the night when they snoozed in bed with snores. In fact, many wanted to have her as something; be it wife, mistress or whatever just to have a taste of her, but the more they spoke to her, the more she ...

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...

Mute by Mide Benedict

That Friday, everyone was spitless, yet it felt as if we spoke all at once in fading tones. Adiza, Halimat's sister wore it differently, her eyes, blood red, her tongue, twisted. Mine was twisted too. Halimat laid right there, silent and unmoving; each gaze at her drove tears out of my eyes.
