The white python

The White Python

A white bolt dances across the sky,
Nature’s raw untamed power,
Lightning!
Casting the landscape in silhouettes.

A Boom! A Crack! 
Its partner follows suit.
Performers in an eternal dance.
A weapon of the Gods.
Yet mere men seek to tame it.

Rainmakers they call themselves,
Men of charms and drabs.
The white python has no master.
Wrecking carnage at its bidding
Does a snake ever bite its tail?

The’ boom announces its dance,
Its messenger, its fore runner.
They say fear is not a thing for men.
And so Okonkwo danced with the python,
And met his end.

THE HR OFFICE

All salaried people must read this: After 4 years of selfless service, I realized that I had not been promoted, no salary increment, no commendation. So I decided to walk up to my HR Manager. The manager looked at me, smiled and asked me to sit down saying: "My friend you have not worked here for even a single day!" I was shocked to hear this, but the manager went on to explain. And here's the conversation that took place: Manager: How many days are there in a year? Me: 365 days and sometimes 366. Manager: Do you come to work on weekends? Me: No sir. Manager: How many days are there in a year that are weekends? Me: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days. Manager: Thanks for that. If u remove 104 days from 366 days. how many days do you now have? Me: 262 days Manager: How many hours make up a day? Me: 24 Hours. Manager: How long do you work in a day? Me: 8am to 4pm (i.e. 8 hours a day.) Manager: So, what fraction of the day do you w

FATAL DISCOVERY

Episode 3 Quickly, she steadied her breath which had become heavy because she was excited. Then raising the camera, she quickly took shots of the two in the room. They were great shots. She took several of them as the rain continued to fall. The two men inside the house were oblivious to the fact that a journalist of the 'Daily Tribune' was taking shots of them. Finally, satisfied that she had taken enough shots, Amanda slipped the camera safely into her bag and then, tip-toed away into the rain, with her heart in her mouth. When she got back to the main road, she broke into a ran, wanting to put a distance between herself and the house in which she had discovered the Prime Minister and the businessman transacting what was clearly illegal business. Even as she ran, Amanda began to build a story out of what she had discovered. There was no doubt that this was going to be a blockbuster story, one that will shake the very foundation of the country and obviously cause a change in

THOUGHTS OF YOU

Image
The stare of black fathomless orbs The brush of petal-soft lips The caress of delicate satiny skin The silhouette of a beauty so breathtaking it hurts The ever pleasant smell of nocturnal jasmine The radiance of a smile pushing my heart beats a pace too fast The sound of laughter so perfect and contagious The whispers of pleasant words of endearment Everywhere I turn, I see you And then I get off memory lane and step into reality lane to be faced with the stark truth. It's all in my head Thoughts of you © Augusta Augustus

 I had Loved you  Beneath my every Brokenness I had loved you Not minding the hurts I felt from the edges you possessed You wanted me to bleed , My heart bled for you while gushing out pain You wanted me to leave my heart at the door and never request for honesty even when we did what lovers do Beneath my darkness I had loved you Not minding you had no light for tomorrow You wanted me to care less for tomorrow Tomorrow is so dark with tears blinding my eyes Beneath my every weakness I had loved you Not minding you were a weak and not worthy to be compared to the weakest vessel You wanted me claiming me to be my strength I'm still fallen You were Broke You were Dark You were Weak Beneath it all, I had loved you The scars of your love left me in my Brokenness The scars of your love left me in my Darkness The scars of your love left me in my Weakness Beneath it all,I still Love you.  🖤™ðŸ–‹
