The Double-Face

I only show what I want others to see But in reality there's nothing in me I'm like a corpse whose innards are empty Even worse the corpse of a donkey Rotten to the core cloaked in the garb of innocent piety While I scheme with precision and wreak havoc stealthily You are but another victim like a pawn in my chess party I will laugh haughty and bask in my sinister revelry Till the glimpse of truth breaks free Unveiling the real me For now flip this coin and heads it will be For it is Double-face you will always continue to see Haidarwali 201603280704hrs

Distortions

When cacophony of voices, drowns reason and logic, silence's contrast soothes; comforts until intoxication wanes leading back to 'senses' Haidarwali 201703280726hrs

On Love Someone Said

Love is a good motivator It usu ally serves as a muse; inspirator Push or pull, depending on instigator I often find myself becoming contemplator Wondering at the enigma love; an animator Moving people to lose inhibitor For a fleeting, invisible reactor Switching on or off depending on factor I am still looking for a Love Doctor To mend my heart and give it a suture!

'Manyan Gobe' (Leaders of Tomorrow)

Sau dayawa zakuga ana qorafi akan matasa basa yin hobbasa wajen ganin sun gina kansu ko ta hanyar neman ingantaccen ilimi ko sana'a. Duk da cewa wannan abu haka yake, toh amman kamar yarda Hausawa suka ce: Idan bera da sata, daddawa ma da wari'.

Abandonded

I remember a luv deep like the oceans it was full to the brim now all that lies in its stead is a vast empty sea of sand unquenching ardor met it's match in the abyss of longing's desert carcass of hope's remains bare, barren and bleak croaking death throes pierce the eerie silence of space and echoes reverberate in confirmation, that I am now alone.

Silence in Oppression is Slow Death: On the Need for Openness and Avenues for Counselling

People suffer in silence, for society has created 'boxes' and typologies to neatly place everyone in their appropriate storage as soon as something happens to anyone. 'Taboos' are covert tools of censorship that muffle and mute everyone into a state of self-deception and pretend-amnesia. We supress into the deepest part of our minds the unpleasantness that life experiences hand to us and unknowingly these later manifest in other ways that cause worse damage than that which we were fleeing from. It is disheartening that for fear of being ostracised, people are silent on issues like rape, marital abuse, sexuality and other taboo topics with individuals preferring to silently carry 'their' burden. But in actual fact it is a 'burden' that is proving to be a collective one. For the scars are what usually lead to much of the unsavoury behaviour we see springing out of nowhere. So no one should be left alone to suffer these psychological scars and we must n...

Lost Tears

Sometimes These eyes drip dry Profusely pained Like heartbreak Like loss Like parting Like betrayal Like sadness Like......... These eye cry With no tears Having being lost Eons ago Now desert flourishes In hollowness of heart. Haidarwali 201703180921
