coldHeat:
A difficult question to say the least.

A hundred million dollars (roughly 20 billion naira) is really tempting, in reality, a part of me would go with it, and if I don't save it, a part of me will sink with it forever; every challenge afterwards will look me in the eye and mock me and my business sense will call me stupid and all other sorts of things.

But if I save the money and choose to lose my mum and wife, there is no amount of cash or assets that will save me from the guilt of choosing money over them. I might live to be a hundred years old and my money would be able to buy anything for me, save the feeling that I did the right thing at the right time, and on my dying bed, I'd regret deeply and probably curse the day I made that mistake that changed my life and robbed me of my soul and humanity forever.

So, the money is out of the question.

I am left with my wife and my mother.

My wife is a part of me, we are not the two sides of a coin, we are the coin; our sides expressing and revealing our personalities and ideals which can best be understood differently by whoever looks at us. My wife completes me, defines me and re-defines me as I go about my purpose. To live without her is to live without the core essence of my being; a man flayed, trying to come to terms with his newly found existence that hides within the shadows of his depression, heavily pregnant without meaning but a despair that can only be comforted his grief and the passage of time...

But my mother is my source, without her, I cannot exist; my spirit will have no body to tether to, since my body came from the workshop that is her womb. I was created in the realm before earth, but my spirit married my body in my mother's womb; it was our home, our school and our church where we met, got acquainted, bonded and manifested into this world. There won't be anything left for me to share with my wife, and my orientation of life and eternity would be baseless and shapeless without the accompanying lessons I received form her...

So here I stand, watching the two most important women sinking before my eyes, the third (money) I shall carelessly divorce for the sake that I might in a bid to save three (myself included) lose one (money)...

Whether I can even swim well or not the painter of the scenario does not say, but if the circumstance determines that I can only save one then I shall be forced to make a choice.

I will first choose my mother because I will never have another in this life or the next (no mammary glands or vaginas in heaven mind you), and I shall let my wife die (it may appear she died rich as she sinks with the money, but at this serious point of call, such witty, ironic humor shall recede into the deepest parts of my mind that a logical thinking pattern blessed with adrenaline might take over).

The problem with this choice (since I know my mother very well) is that she too will be unhappy with me (and herself) for the rest of her life. She will tell me once she wakes up that I should have saved my wife and left her to die, since she had lived her life well enough to know that I haven't begun to live mine. And if I know my mother very well she would jump right back into the water (even though she knows she can't swim) to save my wife, and I'd have to jump into the water all over again...

So, who would I save in truth? I'd save my wife.

I'd leave the money (even if i wanted to, a hundred million dollars {in gold or cash} would be too heavy for me to pull up to the surface fast enough to go back and save the women in my life [estimating its weight]), and I'd save my wife, knowing my mother would approve of such a thing (and like most high-rated Hollywood movies she'd say a touching cool line whilst sinking like "save your wife you stupid boy, and tell that your bald head father I knew about him and Cynthia), and after saving my wife I'd go down and save her as well, hoping that God would humour us all and mouth to mouth resuscitation would save the day...

So, in a nutshell,

I'd save my wife,

Then i'd try save my mum (at least I'd bring her body to the surface and try to call her spirit back into her body),

If I can save both, then I'd be so happy I'd go back down and look for that money!


But to save wealth at the expense of life, even Death herself might just mutter aloud "eleyi gidigan" (this one is strong!"


lol!

LOL. Intelligently written; I love this!

The word, Lyricist is synonymous to "lazy rapper".

Fake Celebrity Syndrome

sonOfLucifer:
What if Jesus died in Africa
Born of a carpenter
Welcomed by three dibias
With cowries, yams and talismans

What if Jesus died in Africa
Faraway from Mecca
And closer to Abuja,
Aso Rock, his path on Passover

What if Jesus died in Africa
His cross made of rafia
Stoned with mounds of eba
Alomo passed to him as his soul crossed over

But Jesus didnt die in Africa
No eba was stoned at Golgotha
The son of David had no idea whatsoever
That there was a land called Africa.

Darn! You have a beautiful poem, SonOfLucifer. I'm talking about the literary aspect of it, not the philosophical.

mikuz:
I think it will, though Kr0ne is yet to say anything concerning that.

Mikuz, abeg change the name of this thread to Rap Battles Chatroom.

MuhdG, thanks for the last time. Will you be free enough to help with this?

After bullet holes riddled walls o' these blocks that God loved/ After our souls freed from that series o' gunshots/
Now, more questions than answers: the world dropped/ Like, Hey, who you think the realest gee on the block was?/
Pissu and Lay or the gees who sourced 'em block wars/ And like river swollen with rain, running through mountains, gushed on/ killing some, ffucking up some....?

Saw and his gangs or Pissu and Lay/ always preaching round the projects of 'em church rat ways/ lacing every other sentence with..."Hey bro gonna hear what the Lord says?/ dammit! recompense aint sweet for thug ways/ good for good, evil for evil, that's what our God says/ put an end to violence and shun these/ or how you gonn' fare on Judgement Day; on God's day?

Confusion loomed over me like 'em foggy clouds/ vengeful steps of every lost soul dancing round the house/ the demise of a hundred and u aint put an end to the fights yet/ the battle over whom the realest gee's aint decided.... Damm!

I put a call to lyricist, Nigga knows all/ and I said "gee who you think the realest gee on the block was?

Truckpusher:
This is not necessary after all we are all just catching fun here - The moment I noticed that the little boy needed an elder brother figure but goes about it the wrong way I prefer not to engage him under any circumstances no matter how much attention he craves for ,but again posting his personal pictures online is another level entirely - Whoever posted those pictures should pull them down please.

You're full of wisdom, brother! I checked my mail now and I saw a hate message from some unknown human claiming I ended Rebel's torture, accusing me of being an asslicker. I don't understand this anymore. Someone's sister's and late father's pictures were being posted all over the internet and the next thing that comes to our mind is to sit down and laugh and feel so good about it?

To the buffoon that sent adedokunsobur@yahoo.com that message, quote me and let me see you!

mikuz:
Clean chats only.

We're not babies, here, mikuz. You don't need to change chatrooms for us like you're changing our diapers. And, what is clean? We want your rules, we want you to follow them, and people banned when they don't follow them!

mikuz:
I have banned him.

Mikuz, abeg, open the chatroom if you have banned him. There was already peace there before he came.

sillyNLmods:

sillyNLmods:
HIS WHORIN SIS.......

Jason, you can't be smarter than NL mods. The next thing they'll do is to ban your IP, trust me. Take the pictures of her sister away from NL, or else, I'll directly launch a mail complaint to the super-mods to ban your IP.

JigsawKillah:
