Yesterday I was out visiting. It was Easter day and as usual I was seeking were I could get a plate of rice and goat meat, some bottles of liquor and the company of inebriated dudes moaning about everything from sex to government.
Well I got the rice and meat, the alcohol and not much of the conversation but it was a slow, hazy day. The kind of day that makes one thankful for life and all those little achievements over the years.
Rain fell before I could crawl back to my hovel so I had to intrude into the privacy of my newly wedded friend. His wife didn't mind but the mosquitoes did. They chewed my toes to ribbons before a can of insecticide attempted a coup.
A little bit of Billie Eilish, Owl City, some Eminem, some Pac and I was ready to sleep. Unfortunately my internet service was too poor to drop a post on all my sordid activities on the day the saviour rose from the grave. I think that soured my mood mostly.
Today my intention was to write poetry and post here, not bore you with my misadventures but I have gotten this new fad. I am enjoying this picture and verse thingy that I have been doing on Your Quote. I think this is how much posts are going to be henceforth. What do you think?
I wrote three different poems today. One is a bit of romance and death, another is a message and the last is for laughs though you can find something worth thinking about underneath the humor.
It feels good to create something even if it is not as beautiful as you would want it to be. It is one of the greatest gifts that I have been blessed with unfortunately, to see myself without the self deception of coloured glasses yet I am glad that I have been able to put on this earth some things that touches those who come in contact with them.
If I never turn out any better, live any older, I will always be glad that I wrote and created pictures of life as I saw it. I have placed a part of me in the memory of man and that is all I have ever wanted. Let posterity speak to my skill and talent, it is the only thing it can do. You and I, we are satisfied with the pleasure of words becoming something more. Good night.

Sony, Sony,
These things u type eh... I'll never know the things on ur mind as u print down your works, but reading them almost always leave me with a heavy heart; something weighty down there, another niggling on my mind every minute I remember them - even if I do not come out like this to type them.
U have great talent, yes. One I'm yet to meet here in steemit to be honest. You r a genius with words tho sadly undiscovered as yet. But never let the present state weigh you down. We have to pull through it come what may.
Of course you'll live better, and I dare say longer. Just do ur best to cut down on those liquor and much of those mundane thingy. Look beyond steemit too at every opportunity that beckons on your skills. The end of the tunnel may not be so far off...
Happy Easter to you!
