Grey's Book Club

God is generous. We have life, yet the screeching noise of sorrow still erupts the canals of our ears and drive us to the brink of insanity, driving us deeper into the wilderness. Then we look at ourselves and ask ‘where did it all go wrong?’ I have lived long enough to know my right from wrong and I can tell right now, that where I come from, there is something wrong and it has eaten deep into the bones of our future. Our children. Where I come from, the pedestrians don’t smile anymore, the houses have higher fences and electric gates, buildings are taller, rich are richer and poor are poorer. And life goes on. Our future is bright but our present is dark that we don’t even see that brightness anymore. Children are lost. Their subconscious minds do nothing but wallow the deep gorge of our hate, deceit and violence. I see people cheating their own, I see people scared to look back, people scared to look forward. I see a city of gold now covered in slime, I see...

By Kay Ryan It is very stretchy. We know that, even if many details remain sketchy. It is complexly woven. That much too has pretty well been proven.

Lie to me and I'll smile I'll believe you a thousand times But somewhere in my head, I've killed you twice. we all think we are wise But the wise ones have left the fools to be free We are all living in a sweet lie Sometimes we'll cry Sometimes, we'll smile Just like I'm gently smiling at your sweet little lie.

I hate you so much But I remember all those times you made me laugh So, hating you isn't a rush And I decided to keep you once again You make me cry Most times, every night But sometimes, most times I can't decide I should erase you with all my might I'll be alright My first kiss was yours You'd jump on that train to keep me from falling You'd take it easy anytime I force You'd run to me when I keep calling That bully ate your fist From that you broke your wrist You'd look at me to say you are fine It was my trouble, it was my fight I always screamed in your ears You contained the pain I always stood by your side Sunshine or rain For that many reasons, I won't let go I'll be your lifeline For that many reasons, I'll keep my tears I won't show my fears For that many reason www.theodysseyonline.com GreyGray Okunola O.

Dark, tall and handsome Who knows where this stallion had come from Gentle, calm and collected All lousiness he neglected I fell for this, I'm meant for this. His words fall from his lips like pearls His time is meant for work, not pretty girls I have waited for this for years He is going to wipe all my dried tears I fell for this, I'm meant for this. He is different from the men I've known His gestures affect me to the bones He is respectful to both young and old He is the one my dream once told I fell for this, I'm meant for this. Every time, I bat my eyes To gain attention, God hear my cries I shouldn't fall for this, I should be wise But my heart aches, I can't deny. And finally, he arrives! With wine, honey and bags of rice On his kneels asking for my parent for the price The price is me, the priceless me. Happiness consumed us both See smiles enveloped in our wedding clothes We were mean...
