Wale, Similoluwa & Anike Adeniyi 16th January 2013

Remember we heard many explanations wrapped around one too many acronyms? Seemingly innocuous letters that haunt our sleep - the little sleep we mustered when we mustered any at all. None made sense. You never smoked anything stronger than turkey in your entire life. Gradually we became acquitted with even bigger terms. It is ironic but you “suffered” from excellent health. You were so healthy your body masked all of the symptoms that would have given early warnings. Only prophets and submarines log periscopes everywhere with them; but then subs and seers fish in much deeper waters. The rest of us do prayers and stethoscopes. Who would have guessed that the protruding hull on the horizon belonged to the Titanic? Who would have guessed that the Titanic lay beneath a swimming pool? You were very thirsty, and drank a lot of water. But eventually, you drank the water of life, from the cistern of Living Waters. What a swig!
