PoliticsBreaking News:- Obasanjo Defects To APC by baski92(op): 6:06pm On Jan 26, 2015
This is not just breaking news, it is also breath-taking but it
is always our pleasure to bring you firsthand information so
as to keep you abreast of happenings in and out of Nigeria.
Research has it that the former President of Nigeria,
Olusegun Obasanjo aka OBJ, has finally defected to the
GMB-Driven party – APC.
This is a shocker but speaking with the former President
OBJ himself at his farm in Ota, he has given a few
reasons why his defecting should not just be accepted by
Nigerians but should also be applauded.
Find his statement below:
“I have reason to believe that most or should I say all of
you are wondering why I have chosen to defect to the
defunct APC and I must say that if I had been told that I
would have to switch party some 5 years ago, I myself
would have argued it.
I believe in transparency and integrity but unfortunately,
PDP is an opposite of such attributes.
They dwell in deception and in the lowest form of debase if
I may say.
I believe change is what Nigeria needs and regardless of
whether GMB can deliver or not, it is still change in a
way. Nigeria needs to be delivered from a useless
government that has taken over since I left presidency.
If you have read my book, you will see that Jonathan is
nothing different from my VP when I was president.
Atiku was just a big time backbiter unknown to him that
when you have people behind you, your back actually
becomes visible to you.
I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to
the leaders of the APC for accepting me as I am and I
am proud to say that come 2015, APC is taking over
Nigeria for good of us all.
I am a civilian like you all now so I understand what it
means to live in the suburbs as you are all aware that I
stay nowhere else apart from my village here in Ota.
Finally, I would like to implore all Nigerians that come
2015 Elections, VOTE GOOD GOVERNMENT
NOT GOOD LUCK”

SportsMourinho: It's A Disgrace, I Feel Ashamed by baski92(op): 7:46am On Jan 25, 2015
The Blues threw away a two-goal lead to exit the FA Cup at
the fourth round stage and the Portuguese coach has urged
the media to be harsh in their assessment of his side
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted he is
"ashamed" after his side were knocked out of the FA Cup by
League One side Bradford.
Goals from Gary Cahill and Ramires had put the Blues two
ahead in the first half before an unbelievable comeback by Phil
Parkinson's side saw them score four times to claim a
memorable 4-2 win.
Mourinho had commented prior to the match that a defeat at
Stamford Bridge would be a "disgrace" and he pulled no
punches in his assessment of the humbling after the game.
He told reporters: "In this moment, I feel happy for them
[Bradford]. But I feel ashamed. And I think the players should
feel the same.
"I repeat the words that I used yesterday. 'In case we lose, it
is a disgrace.' It is a disgrace.
"It is unacceptable to lose to a team from a lower league. If I
was you I would be very critical with the Chelsea manager
and players.
"In an ideal world this will affect us in a positive way. We
have to win the next match.

SportsBale Saves Madrid After Ronaldo Red by baski92(op): 6:33pm On Jan 24, 2015
The Portugal star lashed out late on but the Wales winger
won a penalty and scored it himself to snatch all three points
Gareth Bale was the hero for Real Madrid as his penalty
snatched a 2-1 win over Cordoba on Saturday after Cristiano
Ronaldo had been sent off.
Ronaldo was given a straight red card for kicking out at a
Cordoba defender with the score deadlocked at 1-1 eight
minutes from time at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel on Saturday.
However, Bale spared his team-mate's blushes when he
converted from the penalty spot in the 89th minute after his
own free kick had been handled - with Cordoba's Federico
Cartabia receiving a second booking for that offence.
Real therefore move four points clear of Barcelona ahead of
the Catalans' trip to Elche later on Saturday, but Carlo
Ancelotti will be concerned by his side's performance and the
fact Ronaldo - who cut a frustrated figure throughout the
clash - could now face a three-game ban for violent conduct.
Real endured a dreadful start as Nabil Ghilas confidently
converted from the penalty spot after Sergio Ramos handled
Bebe's shot just three minutes in.
Cordoba's confidence continued to grow after they had taken
the lead, with Bebe, Ghilas and Cartabia looking particularly
threatening on the counter.
Manchester United flop Bebe almost put the hosts two goals
to the good in the 18th minute, firing just wide of the post
following a driving run into the penalty area.
Despite appearing somewhat rattled by Cordoba's bold
approach, Real eventually restored parity through Benzema
just before the half-hour mark.
The France striker stabbed home from close range after
James Rodriguez's corner was flicked on by Bale.
Real struggled to build upon their equaliser, however, with
their star-studded frontline having little luck carving out clear-
cut chances against a well-organised Cordoba defence.
Ancelotti failed to inspire an improvement with his half-time
words, as Cordoba remained just as threatening going
forward.
In fact, the hosts appeared the more composed of the two
sides in attack and went close twice in quick succession in the
56th minute.
Cartabia first smashed a fierce effort just wide of the top-left
corner from 25 yards, before Bebe fired straight at Iker
Casillas after a strong solo run.
Their best chance came 12 minutes later, though.
Florin Andone pounced on Raphael Varane's weak header and
looped an effort over the approaching Casillas, but the ball
bounced up and hit the bar.
Cordoba appeared set to earn a well-deserved point when
Ronaldo was dismissed shortly after - the Ballon d'Or winner
reacting angrily to close attention from his markers during a
free kick - but Bale was on hand to nick all three points with
his late, late penalty.

PoliticsJonathan, Buhari 2nd Week Tours: Their Promises, The Issues by baski92(op): 1:40pm On Jan 24, 2015
A retrospective look at the campaign pledges of the two
leading presidential candidates, President Goodluck Jonathan
of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, and Gen Mohammadu
Buhari ,rtd, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the past
five days, showed a deluge of promises on how to move
Nigeria forward. Unlike the pattern since the presidential
campaigns commenced, the rhetorics were less
confrontational and offensive from both parties this week
President Goodluck Jonathan (PDP Presidential Candidate)
SOKOTO: We will improve agriculture
Jonathan
“As President, my administration established 14 new
Universities, four was built in the South while 10 was built in
the North, yet they keep telling you I hate the North. If truly I
hate the North and I do not want the children from the North
to be like me, will I take such action”.
“In the area of Agriculture, tell me of any government that has
supported the North with several agricultural equipment and
with billions in cash loans. If I don’t like the North, will they
benefit up to 70percent of Agricultural reforms we are doing?’’
KEBBI: I’ll step up rice production
President Jonathan promised that the rice revolution in Kebbi
State would be stepped up to stop importation in Nigeria.
“I want to plead with Nigerians not to mind all the criticisms
against me and my administration to vote for us. Our
achievements so far have been seen by Nigerians and the
people of the north-west need to vote us back into power at
the February 14 presidential elections. Part of our
developmental plans for Kebbi is to step up the rice revolution
in the state”.
ZAMFARA: We will build an airport
President Jonathan promised the people of Zamfara State a
befitting airport if re-elected.
“We must fix Bakolori Dam and irrigation project for our
farmers. We will work with you to explore the solid minerals in
the state to create jobs for the young people.
We will also improve education and that is why we created a
university in Zamfara State and we will make sure we step up
on agriculture. That is why we also have a silo here; about
100,000 metric tonnes capacity. We will do everything to
make sure we create jobs for you; to make sure that you are
educated.”
KATSINA: We built a federal university
‘’My administration was able to provide Katsina State a
Federal University when it became embarrassing that as the
cradle of western education in the country, the state could not
boast of a federal university.
‘’Katsina State had produced the first female pilot among
those currently being trained under the Petroleum
Development Trust Fund (PTDF) and my administration has
associated more with farmers more than any other in the
country’s history.
“We have challenges like many other countries in the world
but we are still managing because of our focus. We will get
through our challenges because we are working hard and you
know it.”
We have done well by building Almajiri’s schools, fighting
desertification, youth unemployment among others in the state
and the country in general.’’
KANO: Jonathan promises more Industries
In Kano he said: “We are trying to create young business men
and luckily we are in Kano, and if you talk about business,
you remember people like the Aliko Dangotes, you can
remember the Dantatas, the Rabius and others. We will surely
work with you to encourage small and micro medium scale
enterprises to make sure young people like you grow up to the
likes of Aliko Dangotes.
That is what we stand for, that is what we are working for.
“We reassure you that working with you, we will surely
continue to improve commerce and industry in Kano. We will
make sure young people have jobs, our women will have
jobs; and that the economy of Kano will continue to grow
from strength to strength.”
BAUCHI: Solid mineral development to receive priority
At the Bauchi rally, he vowed to empower the youths. He said
his government would focus more on the solid mineral
development which is capable of providing empowerment to
the youths of Bauchi State.
General Muhammadu Buhari (APC Presidential Candidate)
KANO: I will fight insecurity
“Wherever I go, I speak on three fundamental issues;
insecurity, unemployment and corruption because they are the
main challenges bedevilling the country. So, I am using this
opportunity to call on you, particularly the youth, to make sure
you obtain your voter cards to enable you vote for us to
assist you. All these noise will not help matters if you fail to
come out and vote for the APC during the forthcoming
elections in the country,
‘’ I am appealing to you; the damage done to this country is
great. The level of unemployment, level of insecurity is
intolerable. The journey has
Buhari: Our situation must change!
begun. It will take time, it will take patience, it will take
support from you to make sure that we succeed. My
administration will serve the people of this country judiciously,
through improved healthcare delivery system, and quality
education, to enable the citizens enjoy the dividends of
democracy.’’
KADUNA: Protect your votes and shun violence
The rally in Kaduna was an avenue to re-echo his calls on
his supporters to ensure that their votes are protected.
‘’We are calling on you, on February 14, pick your voters’
cards, vote, protect your votes, escort your votes and wait.
Anywhere I go, I speak about three things that are major
challenges to us as a nation since the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) came to power 16 years ago
‘’If we vote APC, we are helping ourselves. We will renovate
and equip our schools and employ teachers. We will renovate
our hospitals, equip them and supply them with drugs. We
will rehabilitate the entire bad roads. By the grace of God,
within two years into my administration, if elected, Nigerians
will see a remarkable difference. We believe in democracy, and
that is why in spite of the fact that we were short changed in
2003, 2007 and 20011, we did not ask anybody to go and kill
or slaughter anybody, we went to the courts.’’

SportsCatalans Believe Real Madrid Are Behind Their Fifa Ban by baski92(op): 1:19pm On Jan 24, 2015
In just a few months time they will again gather around a
table for a meal, which they will call a 'friendship luncheon' or
something similar, but that meal will in no way be friendly, at
least not be in terms of the relationship between the two
clubs' boards of directors, who are anything but the best of
friends, something 'los Blancos' confirmed to MARCA
yesterday.
The relationship between the two boards has soured over the
past few days. FIFA's investigation into Barcelona and their
subsequent transfer ban, everything to do with scouting and
signing Ødegaard, and Barça's alleged call to FIFA, have all
played a part in the type of silent stand-off as yet unseen
during Florentino Pérez's presidency.
The Barcelona board believe that Real Madrid are behind the
ban imposed on them by FIFA for breaching under-age
transfer rules in the signing of players for the club's 'La Masía'
academy. Bartomeu and Co. are convinced that the complaint
did not originate at one of the clubs involved but at the
Santiago Bernabéu. The Catalans' reaction was to send a
report to FIFA so that the governing body investigates other
Spanish clubs.
The first club to go under the microscope is Real Madrid,
followed by Atlético and Valencia. Los Blancos have already
been asked twice to provide documentation but this has in no
way flustered the club's board. "Everything we do here is
completely legal", they said. They went on to add that
Barcelona simply want revenge and have reported other clubs
out of spite.

PoliticsWhy We Cleared Buhari – Onu, Chairman, APC Presidential Screening C’ttee by baski92(op): 7:53am On Jan 22, 2015
ABUJA — Chairman of the defunct Presidential Screening
Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr.
Ogbonnaya Onu has said that the party’s presidential
candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari was cleared for
primary election strictly on the provisions of the 1999
Constitution as amended.
Besides, he said that the affidavit produced by Buhari during
the screening exercise provided every conviction needed to
clear him.
Onu also added that the person of Buhari who had hitherto
attended many military institutions both at home and abroad
before rising to the pinnacle of his career in the Nigeria Army
could not have done so without passing his examinations at
primary and secondary school levels.
He wondered why the certificate has suddenly been made an
issue even when Buhari had contested previous elections
without hitches.
He said: “Really that issue shouldn’t create the kind of
problem that we are seeing today in the polity. When this
matter came before us in the presidential screening
committee, we had to rely on the constitution of our great
country to qualify anybody to be president of Nigeria.
Buhari: Our situation must change!
“You have to be a Nigerian by birth. He has to be 40 years of
age. He has to be a member of a political party and that
political party must sponsor you and finally should obtain
education at least up to secondary school level or equivalent.
“And our presidential candidate had attended military schools,
in Nigeria, in India, in the United Kingdom, UK, and in the
United states of America, USA. He attended the US army war
college. So, there isn’t any reason whatsoever to create this
type of problems that we now have in the polity.”
Asked if the committee demanded a copy of the school
certificate during the screening, Onu said the affidavit gave
them the needed proof.
“No, we demanded for that, but there was an affidavit and you
know once you swear to an affidavit, that definitely gives you
whatever protection in any matter not just in this case.
“But the thing is that we were not doing this for the PDP, we
were doing it for Nigeria. This is a man who will be president
of Nigeria and there is a supreme law, the constitution that
guides us and the issue of qualifications is at least a school
certificate.
“So if there is evidence that somebody has attended military
schools that are tertiary institutions up to the war college of
the USA, I mean why should you really go into school
certificate and so on?
“But the Army has shown that he applied in Form 6. Many
young people don’t know we used to have Form 6. I attended
Form 6. I attended higher school that is what it is called then
and you spend 2 years at the lower and the upper. You can’t
go to Form 6 unless you completed your Form 5 and he got
all the credits in the relevant subjects. So all those are in his
file.”
The APC chieftain while dismissing the issue however said
that Nigeria had other issues such as insecurity and
unemployment yearning for urgent attention now than
Buhari’s certificate.

During the gun battle, police bullets hit Somoye in the leg,
while a police Bareta pistol was recovered from him.

state, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the force had commenced
investigations with a view to ascertain the source of the pistol
recovered from the suspected robber.
Adejobi, a deputy superintendent of police, said: “Somoye was
hit by police bullets and a police pistol was recovered from
him and we have been trying to ascertain the source of the
pistol.

PoliticsRivers APC Drags PDP To UN by baski92(op): 6:05am On Jan 22, 2015
Port Harcourt - - The Rivers State Chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has initiated moves to report the
leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to
international bodies over the violence the latter allegedly
unleashed in the region.
APC will report its rival to the United Nations, Amnesty
International and Economic Community of West African States,
among others.
Along this line, the Rivers State APC leadership has set up a
ten-man committee to compile evidence of attacks against
APC members, offices and properties.
Peter Odike, the Rivers State APC Deputy Chairman, chairs the
committee.
Rivers State APC Chairman, Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, has
inaugurated the committee which has been given a week to
submit its report and recommendations.
Ikanya urged it to specifically get details of how the party’s
two secretariats in Okirika and Adoni were bombed within a
space of less than a week, how many APC members have
been killed or maimed, and the circumstances under which
these evils were perpetrated.
“It has become the trend to attack our members and destroy
APC’s campaign billboards, posters and banners, particularly
those of our party’s standard bearer, Dr. Dakuku Adol
Peterside, whenever the party is to go out for campaign in any
particular locality.
In any local government area where Chief Nyesome Wike, the
PDP Leader and gubernatorial candidate, is going to
campaign, PDP thugs move round overnight and remove
APC’s billboards, posters and banners to create the
impression that Wike is fully on the ground in the area while
he knows that he is not on ground in any part of Rivers
State,” Ikanya said.
“We can no longer fold our arms and watch while we are
being viciously attacked and slaughtered by people, whose
mission and vision in politics is to spread violence as their
own way of grabbing power, having seen that they have been
overwhelmingly rejected by the electorates.
What makes the situation more pathetic is that security
agencies in Rivers State, including the Police and the
Department of State Security (DSS), have failed to make any
arrest or call the PDP leadership to order simply because they
are controlled by the PDP-led Federal Government, which is
desperate to take over Rivers State at all cost.”
He said Rivers State APC believed in a violence-free election
and campaign based on issues.
Also read: Another APC office bombed in Rivers State
“We hereby appeal to the international community to come to
our rescue as unchecked violence in Rivers State has the
potential to instigate a chain of events that may truncate
Nigeria’s nascent democracy.”
He nonetheless commended elder statesman Bolaji Akinyemi,
Kofi Annan former Secretary General of the United Nations
and our own Chief Emeka Anyaoku the former Secretary
General of the Commonwealth, for initiating the Peace Accord
the parties recently endorsed to ensure violence-free elections.
“We, however, wish to state that we should not stop at the
Abuja Peace Accord. We, therefore, wish to draw the attention
of Mr. Annan and Chief Anyaoku to the observation of the USA
Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, that if care is not
taken, Rivers State may be a battle ground during the
forthcoming elections.”

PoliticsParties Clash Over Jonathan's Commitment To Education by baski92(op): 5:51am On Jan 22, 2015
Abuja - The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) reacted strongly
to the All Progressives Congress’ and Buhari Campaign
Organization’s criticism of the projects President Goodluck
Jonathan executed in the education sector.
The ruling party, in a statement on Wednesday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said it was despicable that
while well-meaning Nigerians and the international
community were applauding Jonathan for his initiatives in
revamping the sector, the APC was engaged in unwarranted
mudslinging and personal attacks in an attempt to score
cheap political points.
PDP described such criticism as “weird and clear
manifestation of ill will towards the people.”
“We wish to remind the APC that no matter how hard they
try, propaganda and lies will never overshadow the truth. The
fact that the education sector has experienced stability and
growth under Jonathan remains incontrovertible,” PDP stated.
Also read: 5 questions Obasanjo asked Jonathan
“In criticizing President Jonathan for establishing 14 new
universities in his determination to ensure that all states of
the federation have a federal university, the APC and Buhari
Organization have allowed their myopic political interests to
becloud their sense of reasoning.”
PDP said at no time in the history of Nigeria had any
administration achieved this quantum leap in education.
“The new universities are being funded; they have since taken
off academic activities with their courses meeting laid down
standard by various academic regulatory institutions, while
infrastructural projects are being provided. All over the world,
the development of universities requires systematic
progression and that is why even foremost universities like
Oxford, Harvard, and Cambridge are still upgrading their
facilities to meet up with the demands of contemporary
realties.”
The party noted that all Nigerians universities and other
tertiary institutions had remained well funded under Jonathan
and the quality of learning enhanced with upgrade of facilities
through special intervention agencies.
President Jonathan as a highly educated leader appreciates
the importance of education as a vehicle for the realization of
innate potentials of citizens and has continued to demonstrate
this through his policies and programmes in the sector.

RomanceEmotions Poems by baski92(op): 11:24am On Jan 19, 2015
Below are the all-time best Emotions poems written by Poets
on PoetrySoup. These top poems in list format are the best
examples of emotions poems written by PoetrySoup members
-"Letting Go!"
Behind that garden rail;
Where worms, squirm and roam,
They dig into every worst part of my day.
I feel them crawling, making my hide their home.
They feast on my will, and my dead walking soul.
Slowly I am fading away into a cloud of nothing.
I find myself reminiscing the moment I meet you.
With scars and guilt,
I can’t let go!
I’m cold and miserable inside.
Different emotions, I no longer hide.
I can’t seem to heal the deep cut from within.
Echoes are twisting moods that have no meaning.
I sit, with a jar full of tears, holding on tight.
Afraid of letting go!
The hollow walls slay in every way.
The abyss of a waterfall, resides in my heart
This throbbing starvation, repeats the taste it longs for,
I have no control.
I can’t feed without you by my side.
I won't let go!

-~Suicidal Night~
I sit alone in the dark.
In the dark I sit alone.
Nobody sees me.
I see nobody.
~***~
Flowers, above.
My eyes have darkened to a color never seen before.
Forever closed!
It Rains!
It Rains!
In this room, I've drowned too many times.
I remember cascades of water under my eyes.
My satin sheets wrinkle and cold.
I die and died every night.
No one sees the pain that kills me everyday.
The wounds that reach 6 feet deep.
Lucid demons
Bleeding wrist
Scary dreams
Screaming
---
Incomplete'
Torn'
Broken-
Is how I live
I'm alone-
No one's around.
My body's like a coffin
Stiff in my own home.

-Your Look of Precious Love
Whilst I gaze so warmly in your eyes my dearest,
I see deeply your pure angelic soul of love
Reflecting like a radiant flight of a dove,
Charting its flight on so high emotions purest!
Our spirits ascend high in the sky so clearest
To the very boundaries of Heaven my love,
Where the power of brightness is God’s best above.
Your look of precious love is always mine dearest!
When we kiss so passionately our lips so melt,
As we caress warmly emotions are so felt!
Why we do this darling defines our love so dear,
As counts the worth of angels’ blessings to be here!
How we love each other so matters on God’s Earth,
Your look of so precious love exceeds all gold’s worth!

-AM I ?
Am I Just Standing Here, or Am I Just Dead?
Am I So Full Of Fear, I Lost Myself Instead?
Am I A Nobody, that you can't defend me?
OR
Am I Just Invisible, and you really don't pretend.
Am I Blind, Or I Just Don't Wish To See?
The Love I Cannot Find Is Right In Front Of Me!
Am I Hearing the Truth,
Or Have I Just Been Deceived?
Who Can I Trust?
Who Can I Believe?
Am I So Mad I Just Can't Understand,
Or Am I So Sad I Need A Shoulder And A friend?
Is It Just Me,
Or Am I All Alone?

-Frozen Howl
Inside a knowledge turning cogs on this wheel
born from the darkness a heart rules supreme
fear in one wish looking towards tunnel light love
All that will remain when all turns to dust threads of life dance
kneeling weak alone humble and meek finding a balance
Weeping rivers flow haunting sea waves turn the key
truth is something beautiful touching deeply chords
Chilling whispers rise warm oasis warmly embraces hold
creeping inside beauty beams within shadows
Dancing starlight kissing ocean reflections twinkle
sparkle glisten teardrops coldly ripple out
Floating on a cloud of breath precious beauty
a mystery that means something special
finest mother of pearl gem coloring rainbow jewel shines
forever
Frozen dew quicksilver lining echoes time answers always
cold as ice crystals dazzling diamond stillness pure
Frosted vision clear cutting ivory white one cool snowflake falls
baptism in regal glowing crowning full face splendor enchants
a ball
walking along golden strands looking across the sea midnight
strikes
Sleepless nights held over and back destiny calls your name
utopia faraway dreaming our love complete

-My Heart Skips a Beat My Love
My heart skips a beat my love each and every time
I’m with you my dearest sweet and lovely Darling
Since the passions and feelings you stir in me
Touch the very depth of my inner being and soul
And render themselves not to mere words only
Suitable for depiction, exhibition, understanding
Rather to the image and strength of your beauty
And your rapturous desire and feeling as they
Defy rational attempts at any simple description
For you are the most radiant beyond all compare
My heart skips a beat my love when we lie together
Locked in a most enchanting embrace and kissing
So deeply, palpably that we run out of breath and pant
Anxiously at what comes next in our mutual longing
And crescendo as our passions explode and express
Themselves in a most hungry trail of urges and desires
Which makes finding love for us all the more magical
Pairing us together like a couple of star-struck kids
Lost impossibly in moments of hope and imagination
In a timeless world of love, desire, emotion, and oneness
My heart skips a beat my love when we walk so closely
Hand-in-hand talking, laughing, and living our dreams
Confronting the world and taking on whatever comes
Next as we steer our ship of destiny on a true course
Where our like-thoughts and deep love for each other
Mean something quite special that only Dreamers and
Poets can imagine and set to melody and harmony in perfect
Verses of sheer passion and delight painted onto a canvas
Of unending happiness where Heaven and Earth are one
My heart skips a beat my love when we’re forever one


-bloody wrists
I'm sitting on the floor
I'm crying so much more
trying to erase this pain
trying to forget your face
sitting here with the blade in my hand
running so slow blood dripping down
in a deep red color
flowing freely the way i want to feel
I'm sitting on the floor
holding my hand out
I'm holding a bottle
a bottle filled with pills
I'm crying so hard
the pain is unbearable
I'm feeling so weak
I'm sitting here on this floor
holding a blade
crying like crazy
trying to take this pain away
I'm trying my best trying to fight
my eyelids feel heavy
my door is so far
the whispered yells to far
falling deep in to sleep
deep..deep..deep..deep
I'm laying on a bed
I'm so confused
where am i?
my throat feels sore
my body screams in pain
I'm looking around
I'm in a small white room
i try to move,
my hands are stuck
i try to get up
i feel restraints
what happened to me?
I'm laying on a bed
trying to get up
my head hurts
a nurse is here
a shot is administered
i drift to sleep
I'm in the psych ward
why am i here?
I'm lying on a bed
laying so still
my wrists hurts to no end
I'm crying out loud
screaming and cussing
my body hurts
i can't remember
all i remember are my bloody wrists
and a bottle of pills
all i remember is the pain i was in.....


-~Not Like Me~
When you were first put into my arms,
I begged God, to make you nothing like me
For my sins, ask for no transformation
This is my song, my meditation
Look at my face
Where has it all gone,
You no longer desire to be a part my song
Look at my life,
The toll, hasn't been paid
I'm the one suffering everyday
The vengeance of eternal flames,
sit near the empty hearth
Burning my needs to hold you once more,
I need you more than you'll ever know
Now, Look at me, I'm 53 and have no where to go
Everyone I know, awaits in a place of gold
Unlike you, you're too busy growing old

------ Not Like Me!!!
Singing a song, that accentuate's the mind,
I have no one to blame, I neglected all the signs
Hoping the rain would slowly die off
Today here I lay, wondering where I went wrong
I implored God, to cause you nothing like me
I have a heart that forgives, and tries to forget
I kneel, and I give, and I treat others with respect
My compassion, I measured in the poorest way
I judged my life worse than the others did
Now why did I ask ---- Not Like Me!
For my sins, ask for no translation
This is my song, my speculation
The dreaded conclusion of this song,
All I can say, "Be careful what you ask for."
At the end, all I can say, I got what I asked for
Someone, who's Not Like Me.........................

--DREAMER'S SECRETS
Virgin piece of paper
You lay in front of me
Bare, a sleeping beauty
Mesmerized by what I see
In that moment, captivated
Drawn into your light
I'll cover you with passion
Long into the night
You'll give this dreamer's secrets.. sight
I gently touch your canvas
Let lover's feelings flow
You give every indication
That tonight you'll let it go
And I am filled with wonder
Of all that we could be
Amazed that you weren't taken
Lost in this serendipity
When this night is over
Oh forever, it'll be you and me
Penned flame, yeah all I got
Two now one, love's knot
Feel the stroke, inks heat
Making music, love's beat
And what we birth in secret
Tomorrow will be so clear
Spread across your sheet
Love's expression without fear
So remember every moment
How I mused over you
Together we created
A masterpiece to view
You've made this dreamer's secrets.. true
Penned flame, yeah all I got
Two now one, love's knot
Feel the stroke, inks heat
Making music, love's beat
Penned flame, yeah all I got
Two now one, love's knot
Feel the stroke, inks heat
Making music, love beat

-Forgotten Soul
I turn my head, and there she is once more
In her disheveled, worn and tattered dress,
One pew behind me near the exit door
She sits head bowed…an image of distress.
Two weeks now on a Sunday she is there…
The same pew in the church, the same old clothes.
She shows forlornness that makes me aware
Her life is sadly filled with countless woes.
This time she lifts her head and looks at me,
As tears swell in her eyes and down her cheek.
My heart is broken by the hurt I see
Within her wanting eyes so dark and meek.
I gaze into her face and see her fears
Yet, slightest twinkle in her sullen eyes…
With tiny smile, she wipes her falling tears
Away, but still I hear the painful cries
That echo from her heart so silently
Of weakened body, anguished mind and soul…
I wonder what in life could possibly
Have caused her to now suffer such a toll.
And I surmise that homeless she must be,
But still some faith has brought her to this spot
Where healing strength from God might possibly
Renew her spirit when her life cannot.
The mass soon ends, and I arise and turn,
So now in front of her I sadly stand…
She grasps my hand and says, “God Bless, you earn
His blessings for a heart that understands."

-I Know YOU from My Dream
Dreaming quite deeply one dark night
I saw your image and most beautiful face
Passionately kissing my soul and spirit
Charming my innermost desires and wishes
Beguiling my inner child making him smile
Soothing my feelings capturing my emotions
Mesmerizing me with unconditional love
This dream stayed with me on many lonely
Nights for at least over a year or so while
Leaving me to awaken feeling very happy
But also so very sad only seeing YOU . . .
As a dream and a part of my unconscious self
Yet I longed and longed so deeply to see
And to meet and to love the real YOU . . .
And then one day about two years removed
From my recurring dreams of YOU . . .
I was walking along a beautiful ocean beach
And watching the waves break and come ashore
Feeling the warm summer wind touching me
Quite soothingly and enticing me most deliciously
When I walked literally and directly into YOU!
Upon on this event, we both stopped in our tracks
At first surprised, then stunned, and not talking
Then our mutual surprise and astonishment
Quickly gave way to warm smiles and laughter
And then YOU said to me: “Where have you been?”
Your question said it all to me—my heart melted
And I said: “I’ve always been with you my darling!”
Call it Fate . . . Call it Destiny . . . Call it Karma
Both us had been dream beings to one another
And now we’re standing in front of each other
Very real, very alive, and very much in love
Personifying at once giddy star-struck lovers
Whose very spirits and souls are united as ONE . . .
We embraced passionately and kissed longingly
As we embraced—it was as though time stood still . . .
Our mutual dream worlds connected in this real world
And the effect of this moment finding each other finally
Was both quite overwhelming and intoxicating for us
As our mutual fondness, desire, love—all there
As we kissed and caressed so deeply with desire
Our joyous eye contact and tears confirmed all
We sat for hours on the beach entranced in our
Own world of rapture, devotion, presence and passion
While talking, caressing, kissing, smiling and laughing
And learning so much of each other so fast so deeply
And Never Ever wanting to leave each other’s side now
Our souls crossed a millennium or more to find one another
And to unite our human spirits as one on this cosmic Earth
plane
I never expected to meet my love, my soul mate—YOU!
In such an improbable fashion, yet crossing deep space and
time
We found our souls bonded in love and blended into one
Our real lives together now filled with unbridled passion
And our goals, desires, emotions all cascading together as
one
And now at night as we lie together sleeping and dreaming
Our lives, our souls, and our love all real—since I found YOU!
SportsChelsea Benefit From Arsenal's City Scalp by baski92(op): 7:11am On Jan 19, 2015
Has the penny finally dropped for Arsene Wenger? It seems
so after he masterminded Arsenal's deserved 2-0 victory at
reigning champions Manchester City, the perfect away
performance.
Arsenal were hammered 6-3 by City last season and it had
been over four years since the Gunners won an away game
against teams that went on to finish in the top four. That ;ast
triumph was against Sunday's opponents, too, following the
dismissal of Dedryck Boyata after five minutes.
There was no chance of reliving last season's humiliating
away defeats at City, Chelsea and Liverpool, as Wenger
instead organised his team like those who have successfully
played against Arsenal for so long.
Wenger has never seen eye-to-eye with arch-rival Jose
Mourinho on their approach to the game, but this
performance was almost the carbon copy of Chelsea's 1-0
win at the Etihad last February.
It is remarkable that it has taken Arsenal so long to adopt this
style of play against the bigger Premier League sides, but it
could prove a turning point for Wenger.
Arsenal's away results against their main rivals last season
cost them the chance of having a major say in the outcome of
the title race, but it looks like Wenger has, belatedly, learnt the
lessons from those defeats.
Wenger went with a more compact formation and all his
players were well-drilled and played their part in the kind of
away performance not seen by Arsenal in many years.
They got a break with the opening goal with a soft penalty for
Vincent Kompany's clumsy tackle on Nacho Monreal, which
man of the match Santi Cazorla converted, but they probably
deserved the break for their hard work and endeavour. Once
Olivier Giroud headed in the second goal midway through the
second half the result never looked in doubt in what is surely
one of Wenger's most satifying wins in recent years.
They had their lowest possession percentage in 11 years with
just 35% at the Etihad, but it was what they did without the
ball that formed the cornerstone of an impressive victory. This
was very un-Arsenal.
Wenger has come in for criticism for his big-game tactics in
the last four years and, although some may regard him a
tactical genius after this victory, one big question remains:
Why now? Why didn't he set up his team like this before?
At the start of December Wenger was jeered by some of his
own fans when boarding his train back to London after the
3-2 defeat to Stoke, but they will singing the Frenchman's
name from the rooftops on their way back to the capital
tonight.
On the other side it was a case of 'unlucky 13' for City as they
saw their 12-game unbeaten run come to an abrupt end at
just at the wrong time to give Chelsea a five-point lead in the
title race.
City went into the game knowing there was no room for error
after Chelsea's 5-0 thumping win at Swansea, but they
struggled to work out how to get the better of Arsenal's
unexpected set-up.
It should be noted that City have failed to win any of the four
Premier League games that Yaya Toure has missed this
season (drawn three, lost one) and how the big Ivorian's
absence was keenly felt as City struggled to have any impact
in midfield against Arsenal's well-organised rearguard.
Manuel Pellegrini made a mistake in playing with two
defensive midfielders, Fernando and Fernandinho, as neither
could offer what Toure does when he leads by example with
match-winning cameos.
Vincent Kompany looked rusty on his return from injury and
was foolish in conceding the penalty which gave Arsenal
something to hold on to.
Worringly for City and Pellegrini they have conceded two
goals in three consecutive home league games for first time
since 2002 and their defensive fraility has cost them crucial
points in the title race.
After narrowing the gap between themselves and Chelsea on
New Year's Day from eight points to none, they could now see
that lead return when the top two go head-to-head at
Stamford Bridge in a fortnight.
If City lose that game to fall eight points behind Chelsea again
that could be the end of their title chances with just 15 games
left. Mourinho is unlikely to let an eight-point lead slip from
his grasp for a second time.
Given they had taken just six points from a possible 45
against City, Manchester United and Chelsea in recent years,
few would have seen this Arsenal performance coming. The
great irony is that Wenger's 'eureka' moment has gifted old
rivals Chelsea and Mourinho an unexpected and welcome
boost.
But the Arsenal boss is unlikely to care too much after
proving his doubters wrong after all this time. For now, the
question marks are surrounding City, and they will have to
come up with the right answers at Stamford Bridge on
January 31.
