POETIC INSIGHT -005

‘NEATH

UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN OF CLAY;

UNDERNEATH THESE SMILES SO UNTRUE,

A HEART IN GLOOM.

A SOUL IMPRISONED BY MORALITY.

LOCKED UP BY THE NORMS OF CHRISTIANITY,

GRADUALLY LEADING TOWARDS INSANITY.

MAROONED WITH THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN,

 ATTRACTED BY THE WAYS OF HELL. 

UNDERNEATH THIS PRETENCIOUS SELF;

A SOUL SCREAMING OUT FOR HELP,

CRAVING FOR A NEW AND BETTER STORY.

TIRED OF THE OLD AND ALL ITS VANITY. 

UNDERNEATH THIS FLAMBOUYANT SHOW;

A SOUL IN COMPLETE DISARRAY.

IN SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATION;

IN SEARCH OF DIVINE INSPIRATION,

YEARNINGS FOR REDEMPTION PORTRAYED. 

UNDERNEATH THIS SLY LAUGHTER;

ECHOES OF PAIN AND INTENSE ANGER,

A BATTLE ENSHROUDS;

THE OBVIOUS BATTLE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

ENSHROUDS

UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN OF CLAY.

-Presidor. O. Sam’Sawyer

"12 Years A Slave"; why you should go see this movie.

The release of "12 Years a Slave" is something of a major historical-cultural event in the US, being that Slavery is the most abhorrent chapter in America's history. The film, which opens Friday with an A-list cast—Nigeria’s own; Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt--is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free black man kidnapped in 1841 in Washington and sold into slavery in New Orleans. Uncompromising and extremely violent, "12 Years" refuses to downplay the racism, brutality and crude Darwinian mind-set that typified the "peculiar institution."
