WHITE, BLACK OLD WAYS.

Yesterday's seduction calls,
Arousing my thirst,
 Lingering hunger for power,
 Erotically having fun with my deep.
Zapping energy from my previous life.
Should I accept this evil or forge with the light I know?
Should I hate what I am? Or become my past? continue

Destinies of men; A short story by Onotu David Onimisi

Destinies of men      For Abubakar Adams Ibrahim

                                                                                          CAIN prize nominee 2013

The end of the world for me meant writing my final examinations, and finishing secondary school. Two years after my senior school certificate exam I majored in the arts. Arts for me represented a world without restrictions. A world in which I was free to explore and recreate myself as a warrior or king like those in the Greek and roman histories I had read.

Ever since my childhood, books had been my passion. I grew up in a household where everyone was constantly turning the page of one book or another. There were nights when amongst other children, I would sit beneath the brilliance of the full moon and listen to grownups tell stories, my hooded eyed uncle best of all, the stories which he told enchanted me, transported me to newer worlds with strange happenings and fascinating characters.

Where it all started

Sin from its origin

Original sin

We saw it happened before it began

But we sang songs of endless love

Collecting Reminiscence, Renaissance

Good and bad memories

Waiting for sun to sleep so we can bring back the spirit of those who have lost

In the lost word Read more!

DEATH'S OBITUARY

I died a death

Yet in my death I refused death

Anguish gave me no peace

Solitary no rest

My grave empty

The underworld I never journeyed.

Ten of the greatest painters who changed the world of art:

1. MASACCIO 1401-1428

His nickname meaning 'Big Tom' or 'Clumsy Tom' (his real name, Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Mone Cassai, is remembered by no one), Masaccio died in 1428 aged only 26 while working on the Brancacci Chapel frescoes of the life of St Peter, including The Baptism Of The Neophytes. 

They were so astonishing in their realism, characterisation and communication of form, activity and emotion, that the chapel served as something of a school for later generations of Florentine painters, and to Vasari, the painter-historian, Masaccio was the founder of painting in Florence. Traces of his influence are evident in the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael at the end of the 15th century. Even now, six centuries on, the realism of his nude Adam and Eve, and of the shivering boy waiting for baptism, his command of form, movement and character in grave and monumental figures fully-clothed, and his observation of architecture and landscape, all astonish us.
