Her Squashed Fantasy: a spoken word on domestic violence by King Ifey.




My First Spoken Words on the theme: Domestic violence. By King Ifey.

Her Squashed Fantasy.

There were times
Times when you thought
You knew him,
Times when you
Didn't realise the viper
You lived with,

Times when it was 
All spring for you
And your flowers flourished
In the air emitting
 Sweet scents of nuptial joy
You were happy.

You had your time,
Yes you had your time.
When the beehive dropped honey
And you savoured it 
With your eyes shut in ecstasy
And butterflies frolicked 
In your tummy.

Oh it was a time,
A time you wish you never had.
But it's gone.
It hit rock bottom
And the shards spread 
Everywhere.

This beautiful fantasy 
He squashed the minute
He banged the door on you
And left you in this
Wasteland of broken-hearted souls.
Your life was made a mess.

Crystals and petals and pearls
You knew when you had them
Now they've slipped 
Right through you.

You begged to be set free
But home has shackled 
You to that wasteland
Of broken souls.

Windows, mirrors, bottles
 All flying in the air.
Gory images, 
Blood slips through your vein.

You had your time
Oh you had your time.
You broke down to tears
And you wipe the tears away.
The tears that you cry
Doesn't really matter.
It has never saved you.

I long to see
I long to see you come around.
Stronger, feeling inspired
And taking control of your life.
....      ....   .........

This goes to all the ladies who have been or are still victims of domestic violence.

Make a lady passing through heart ache happy by sharing these words with her.

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem...

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...
