PAIN...




Pain, comes in variety
Heart breaking, soul crushing.
Let's enter the world of imagination,
and envision these situations...


A long, long ATM queue
in the mid day Lagos heat
You're getting closer to the front of the line
A half grin on your sweaty face.
Finally, you've arrived at the promise land,
sticking in your magic wand in anticipation...
You know that heartbreaking moment when the screen displays, "temporarily unable to dispense" ?
Yeah,  that's pain.


OK, let's see it from this angle.

After a long day of jumping from class to class, with just a bottle of coke keeping you going all day.
Classes end ,and off to tutorials with no time to grab a bite.
Eventually getting to the hostel, tired and hungry.
Switching on your hotplate to cook your usual student  'concoction' rice.
All ingredients in the pot and BOOM! the hostel gen goes off!
You recognize that feeling?
Yeah, that's pain.


Then the very familiar one,
keeping that bottle of soft drink in the fridge.
Plans in your head of how compatible the cold drink would be with your plate of rice this night.
Lo and behold, you open the fridge at night and it's no where to be found. Your sibling had drunk it.
Yeah,  that is pain!
