Xavier9ja: are u asking because your predecessors are related to rattle snake?Well, before you result to insult, lemme help you out; rattlesnake is a funny personality on this forum. He brings up Illuminati theories mostly from pictures; he seems paranoid in a funny way. I'm sure you'll be seeing his 'hand' soon. I refused to be drawn into some e-fights because you didn't catch my drift. And honestly, i expect you to apologize because I find your post insultive . |

Nairalanders, please I need your help this morning... Kindly check: https://www.nairaland.com/1809479/poetry-again-sanchez01-need-nairalanders#24628022 |
Mods, please help |
Hello Nairalanders, I need your help in nominating my poem in an on-going poetry contest. Please kindly help in nominating and commenting on what makes the poem special and how it pokes at the society. The title of the poem is 'AGAIN' AGAIN I stood in awe To gaze at the man who starve my generation There I stood speechless at the man of the nation; Waving his hands, I hoisted like a tragic flaw, “My era marked the beginning of equality before the law!” This same man promised me emancipation and a free nation Yet, all he ever gave my people was nothing but sheer starvation The naïve crowd jeered our hero of maw, As he gets set to read what seems a citation; “Today I stand before you a blood relation, With dignity I served like a carpenter’s saw…” Within my mind I could not help but draw – The achievements of this brute of frustration, Who has come again to deny us our reasonable ration. Theme and Analysis Again is a poem that focuses on the lies and the wide gap between the masses and their acclaimed messiahs. The poem is a social satire because it pokes at the hypocrisy demonstrated by the masses and their trusted politicians. While the politicians are entrusted with certain tasks by being elected into office; they seek to satisfy their greed while they lie to the very people who trust them that they have been working effectively for the purpose of which they were elected. The masses, amidst their anguish and sufferings on the other hand, celebrate their delegates knowing fully well that they have not been duly represented and the promises made by these politicians have not come close to fulfilment. The masses pretend to be duly contented by cheering their leaders, probably out of fear, while the leaders entrusted with human responsibilities gratify themselves and still pose to be the heroes they are not. The poem pokes at the politicians who come back to their people seeking re-election into office after failing to make much of an impression in their first tenure. While the social satire might be common in every part of the world, the focus of the poem itself is Nigeria; a country where politicians fail the people and still come to them seeking to serve them again. Rhyme Scheme AGAIN, though a social satire, has a political undertone that plagues our immediate environment from time to time. The poem is a sonnet of two stanzas; with the ABBAABB ABBAABB rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme projects the tonality and the rhythmic flow of the poem, making it interesting, even as it treats a serious issue. Figures of Speech The dominant figure of speech in the poem is invective; a figure of speech that deals with the act of insulting. The use of invective is a deliberate attempt to show the disgust the persona feels towards politicians who strive on the ignorance of the wretched masses who feel nothing but praise and adoration towards their leaders after being deceived. Thus, in referring to the cheat of a politician as a brute (thug) of frustration, the persona acknowledges that the masses have been pushed overboard by their thieving leaders, with no hope of a better tomorrow. Another figure of speech used in the poem is simile. The use of simile in the poem is to liken or create an imagery/mental picture of what the scenario being described is best referred to. Hence, when the politician gives his citation and claims that ‘he had served with dignity like a carpenter’s saw’ – he helps create an imagery of a carpenter’s saw cutting through woods and planks; the one purpose for which it was created.

kossydiba: I hv alson been in dat frnd zone issue n even still now. Mi own case is different anyway cuz she really loves me n tells everyone dat am her guy. She use mi pics as her dp most tym bt d issue there is dat I hv spent a lot on her bt wat I hv goten in return is emotional kisses n hug. Where d problem lies is dat I don't knw hw am goin 2 tell her dat I want 2 eat her keleYes, yours is really different. It is the peak of being zoned. You sure are in trouble . |
TrYcIa1: I will friend zone all of u guys and nufin will happenFor guys, it is a BIG deal. It is even worse than break up; when a guy breaks up with a lady, he nurses athe pain and tries to forget. He does in time, compared to being friend zoned, knowing fully well that you get to suffocate each time she tells you that you're the sweetest brother she never had and the perfect gentleman character in me is so rare that she hopes to find my traits in her prince charming someday. Question: Abeg, wetin do me:/? |
UjSizzle: Nah this ain't hope hun. I actually got comfy there and placed him on the same spot too sef. Haven't seen the fella in over 2yrs now though but we still chat every now and then. Suddenly he starts to say some stuff i would expect from some certain dudes not himOh! Now I understand, Dearie ![]() |
UjSizzle: By a guy? Yes. Sucked real bad but i liked him any way so i liked my butt and stayed his friend.you think My lady, you are still in the zone; people who are zoned hope real bad... |
VICTORCIZA: same to youTo you PDP e-rats, if you are confident that Jonathan is working, why is it difficult then for you to say 'amen' to a prayer that is as beautiful as that? ![]() |
mbulela: May God or whatever deity you worship manage your live the way GEJ and his security forces have managed this kidnap saga.Amen!!!! ![]() |
bheemz: I pray Germany wins......I don't like dat Messi @llBless you D! |
bukatyne: There is something wrong.[size=15pt]Talk about lady who thinks like a man!!! |
Oxone: Exactly! some guys wont say what they want upfront hoping she'll read their mind or wait till the friendship is too far gone.True... And based on what I've noticed from my friends; I have come to believe that the friend zone headache is totally their fault. Some of them fear that the girl may not look their way if they develop some balls to ask, thus, they become comfortable with being Friend Zoned. It's a shi.tty thing, I tell you. For me, the moment I discover that I am developing some interest in a girl, I tell it to her and I don't remain comfortable until you give me a YES/NO. Silence could be misinterpreted. Therefore, a YES/NO must come from you. The moment you tell me 'you're still thinking about it' after about THREE WEEKS, I shove the whole thing aside before I become a second fiddle and a 'perfect gentleman' to a lady I know I'll never call me own. |
Vivly: All these plenty friend zone talks. What if the guy just wants to be friends with the girl? Nothing serious?[size=15pt]Question is; how do you know if he just wants to be a friend and nothing more? The whole thing still boils down to DEFINITION!!![/size] |
missberrypop5: a girl who tells you to be friends with her, can one way or the other, have feelings for you. Well, ok. I'm not a guy, i don't know how you guys view this friendzone stuff, but if it's the way i see it, mehn, there's nothing i see wrong with it.Missberrypop5, you just have to fear the Lord oooo. Well, it is normal if ladies say they are okay with it... Afterall, who gets all the benefits ? For guys, the zone can break and tear you; particularly when she tells you about 'this new guy' they just met. I have friends who get zoned from time to time, not because it pleases them though, they don't just know how to create a spark. I often get to take them out of the zone and I know how difficult it is for them. I have a female friend who got zoned too ! Hers was worse; she cursed the guy and cried her eyes out. Most of my friends, after being zoned end up listening to Taylor Swift's 'Tear Drops on My Guitar, Breathe, Tell me why and We were happy'. The zone is really depressing. Being friends with the opposite sex is cool and OKAY; it's just that the zone is worse than just being friends. |
Well for me, the problem is with guys who cannot open up and are scared to say what's on their mind. Girls that get zoned... Well, they know better ![]() For those asking what 'Friendzone' is... I hope these pictures explain better... https://beta.theartofcharm.com/wp-content/uploads/files/2013/06/friendzone2.png https://global3.memecdn.com/im-pretty-sure-its-called-the-friend-zone_o_171594.jpg [img]http://www.92citifm.ca/files/friend-zone-26.jpg[/img] [img]http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Friend+Zone.+Thumbs+up+if+you+think+its+time+to_22ea18_3087957.jpg[/img] https://www.snappypixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/caution-friendzone-ahead-48.jpg Credits: Google Images |
