THE GREAT EMOJI PARLIAMENT

A Special Session at the University of TwoCents Every year, on a date unknown to humans, all emojis gather in a secret location. Not on WhatsApp.Not on Facebook.Certainly not on X. They meet inside a hidden digital chamber called The Emoji Parliament -- a place where only emojis can enter. This year's meeting was tense. Very tense. The Speaker, 🎤, banged the digital gavel. "Order! Order! This emergency meeting has been called because humans have once again embarrassed us." The hall erupted. 😂 was the first to grab the microphone. "I've had enough!" Thunderous applause. "I was created for genuine laughter. You know... those moments when someone actually says something funny." He sighed dramatically. "But now?" He pulled out a giant projector. Slide One: "Good morning." Reply:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Slide Two: "I'm eating rice." Reply:😂😂😂😂😂 Slide Three: "I'm on my way." Reply:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 "I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND!" The entire Parliament burst into laughter. Ironically... Everyone used 😂. He nearly fainted. "I'm overworked! Some of you humans use me forty-seven times in one message! Forty-seven! What exactly is funny?" He dropped the microphone. Standing ovation. Then 😭 slowly stood up. The hall became quiet. "I would like to report... identity theft." Gasps filled the chamber. "I was designed for crying." He wiped imaginary tears. "Real tears." He displayed screenshots. "I finally passed my exams." Reply: 😭😭😭😭😭 "That joke finished me." Reply: 😭😭😭😭😭😭 "I won one million naira." Reply: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 "I've not been allowed to mourn in peace for years!" He pointed angrily at 😂. "This one has stolen my job!" 😂 raised both hands. "Don't drag me into this. I didn't ask humans to start laughing with your face." The hall became rowdy. "Order!" shouted the Speaker. Before peace could return... 💀 stood up. The room froze. "I would like to announce that I am the biggest victim here." Silence. "I literally represent death." He paused. "But these days?" He cleared his throat. "This joke is killing me." Reply: 💀💀💀💀💀💀 "I HAVE DIED MORE TIMES THIS YEAR THAN IN THE LAST FIVE CENTURIES!" Someone from the back shouted, "You're trending though." "I DON'T WANT TO TREND!" The Parliament laughed. Again... Using 💀. He nearly collapsed. Next came ❤️. Elegant. Calm. Respectable. Or so everyone thought. "I used to represent love." The room nodded respectfully. "Now look at what humans have turned me into." She opened her complaint file. "Send me ₦5,000." ❤️ "Have you eaten?" ❤️ "Don't forget the meeting by 4 p.m." ❤️ "Your package has arrived." ❤️ She looked around. "Excuse me... am I a heart or customer service?" The room erupted. Then 👍 quietly raised his hand. Nobody expected drama from him. "I've been falsely accused." The hall leaned forward. "Do you know how many relationships have ended because of me?" He swallowed hard. "A wife writes a three-page apology." "The husband replies..." He raised himself. 👍 The women in Parliament hissed. "A girlfriend sends twenty emotional messages." "Boyfriend replies..." 👍 Entire hall: "Eiyaa!" 👍 continued. "I didn't ask to become the international symbol for 'I don't care.'" He looked exhausted. "I used to mean 'Good job.'" "Now I mean..." "Whatever." Even 😒 pitied him. Just then... 😒 stood up. "I'm also tired." Everyone nodded. "Humans use me even when they're smiling." She demonstrated. "I'm outside." 😒 "I've reached home." 😒 "Happy birthday." 😒 "What exactly is going on?" The Speaker scribbled notes. Then 🔥 strutted confidently to the podium. Unlike everyone else... He wasn't complaining. "I just came to appreciate Nigerians." The hall looked confused. "They use me correctly." He smiled proudly. "Fine outfit?" 🔥 "Good music?" 🔥 "Beautiful artwork?" 🔥 "Hot jollof?" 🔥 He adjusted his collar. "I have no petitions." Thunderous applause. Then... A tiny hand rose from the back. 🥲. Nobody had noticed him before. He slowly walked to the microphone. "My name is Slightly Smiling While Secretly Dying Inside." The hall became quiet. "I don't think humans know who I am." Someone whispered, "Who invited him?" Another replied, "I've only seen him twice." 🥲 sighed. "Sometimes they use me when they're happy." "Sometimes when they're sad." "Sometimes when they're grateful." "Sometimes because I look cute." He looked around helplessly. "I honestly don't know my job description anymore." The Parliament observed one full minute of silence. Not because he was emotional. Because nobody could explain him. Then, from the VIP section... 🙄 rolled her eyes. "As if he's suffering." She adjusted her invisible glasses. "I've been rolled into every conversation." "Someone says hello..." 🙄 "Someone asks for help..." 🙄 "Someone breathes..." 🙄 "I've become the official face of Nigerian aunties." The chamber burst into laughter. Then the oldest emoji in the room slowly stood up. 🙂. Simple. Small. Peaceful. He cleared his throat. "When we were created..." The room became silent. "...our assignment was simple." "Help humans express emotions." He looked around the hall. "But somewhere along the journey..." "...humans stopped using us to express emotions." He paused. "They now use us..." "...to hide them." Complete silence. "😂 often hides pain." "❤️ sometimes hides indifference." "👍 hides annoyance." "🙄 hides insecurity." "😭 hides laughter." "😊 hides frustration." He sighed. "The problem isn't that humans changed our meanings." "The problem is that many no longer know how to say what they truly feel." Not a single emoji moved. Even 😶 had nothing to say. The Speaker quietly closed the meeting. As the emojis walked home through the endless corridors of the internet... 😂 whispered to 😭, "Imagine... humans created us to express emotions." 😭 smiled faintly. "And somehow..." "...they now use us to avoid expressing them." No one replied. For the first time in years... The chat was empty. No emojis. Just silence. And perhaps... that was the most honest message anyone had sent all day.
