Read the book,not the movie.

Well we all know the usual cliche "I'd rather watch the movie than read the book,it saves times and I get to enjoy myself, probably have a peek at the cute actor/actress".
Well,I've got news for you homie,you're missing on what reading has got to offer.
About 3 years ago,I read all the Harry Potter series(Quidditch fans holla),though it took time but I was able to work on my imagination and stuffs and I had a really great time,plus it increased my vocabulary and diction.
So,imagine my disappointment when my youngest sibling bought the whole series-on CD,and interesting details were omitted, not to mention the disinteresting and annoying film tricks.
Let's be more recent,whoever has read " the Hunger games " trilogy  will agree with me that it's totally different from the movie "the hunger games.If you haven't,give it a try today.
Here's a list of books to help you begin with-from my own personal collections;
1)Harry Potter series.
2)The hunger games trilogy.
3)Orange is the new black.
4)12 years a slave.
5)Ender's game.
These among many others will get you started.If you can't find them to download, email me at richardthexus@gmail.com or on Twitter @Iamthexus, and I'll send you an attachment containing the book of your choice.
Still haven't made up your mind yet?
Here are 5 reasons you should cultivate a healthy reading habit;
•Reading helps to burn brain fat called ignorance.
•Reading improves your vocabulary and diction, also you have less trouble spelling.
•Reading is fun-for the geeks.
•Reading is a form of pastime and helps to relax whilst working your imagery.
•Reading helps you have a good conversation with others on subjects which you are well versed.
I am currently on the James Bond Double O7 series and can't wait to flip the next page.
  Have a nice day.
              Yours sincerely,

Wife Beater

Wife Beater: A poem on domestic violence.  Don't you remember when you paid her bride price, She did nothing but commit her lifetime to you, But it's all been built on lies, You didn't love her,you were just looking for someone to call wife. It isn't her fault that you took hits on the stock market, But she'll be there,when all's low, It isn't her fault, the recession caused you to lose your job, But she'll be there,when all seems lost, And all she's ever wanted was a modicum of your love and acceptance. You're a wife beater, Saying she brought bad luck, That she's responsible for your misfortunes, And that things will get better with her out of your life, Well you're wrong. Does it make you feel good? Knowing that there's a punching bag waiting just for you, After squandering the little you have on booze, You come home and beat her black and blue. Coming home and throw up on the couch, But she'll be there to clean your mess up,

Death For Sale;Smoking Is Not For Me.

This poem was written by Breanna Weed,2004. I had to practically 'excavate' it out to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and lung cancer.    There are many reasons why smoking is not for me,    The reasons are simple and easy to see.     I want to live a longer life...that's one of the reasons why,     I want to be healthy and not prematurely die,     There are 3800 chemicals found in tobacco smoke,     Now you can see why smoking cause people to choke.   Forty-three of these chemicals are known to cause cancer,   So if you want to be healthy, smoking isn't the answer,    Smoking is glamorous...cigarette companies have lied,    I'm not poisoning my body with benzene, arsenic, or cyanide.    I don't want nicotine to be my master,    I don't want my heart to work harder,or pump faster.    My life is precious,I have no desire to wheeze,    I don't want to risk dying of heart disease,    Cigarette smoking kill 3 million people a y

Help Me Tell Them.

Image
Sequel to "Wife Beater" , I have written this poem as a call out to women -daughers and sisters - in abusive relationships. You are not alone. You can get out. Share with someone, until everyone knows that #AbusiveRelationships is a real issue.  Help Me Tell Them. Help me tell them, That are oppressed and abused by their men, They who suffer in silence at the recieving end, Sound the alarm and let it pierce ears, Speak up, it's time to stop hiding in the closet, Face tender, sore eyes flooded with bitter tears, Help me tell them, Who are in shackles and call it relationship, Where he hasn't done anything on your head, Yet wants your back to know every inch of his bed, No traditional paraphernalia nor palm wine kegs, Nay! Doesn't even know your parents, And yet strikes like thunder, giving you welts, Help me tell them, They that are precious jewels, These daughters and sisters, Who suffer and hide their scars, That the cycle of violence ought to end with the mother
