You are unreadable. People that write prose this way do violence to the language. They lack creative authenticity and conflate their ability to induce headache in the reader with originality. They are bad for the culture of reading and thinking in general.
Book smart?🤣 Someone who reduced Shakespearean tragedy to a barren contrivance, tortured beneath the tyranny of title-level superficiality and mangled rendition; exhibiting the affectations, and poverty of learning characteristic of those whom she’d erstwhile limned as dull?😂

“What started as a country...darkened into a nightmare.” Devastating. Beautiful.

Shocker. An artiste who sings incelesque music is an actual incel. I remember tweeting about the misogyny in the lyrics: “your body na meatpie”, and so many of you came for me. Like clockwork, feminists criticize a male artiste’s music, you guys shut down the criticism only for

"Flesh returned to flesh. There was no poem. The rain fell. The umbrella that sliced me open still laid there." This is good but, savagery!🤣 Why Masochism? Just joking. I enjoy every single line. Fat congratulations, Marvelous Igwe. Keep winning.
