THE MAN: FAME AFTER PAIN JOSEPH-SAM SARAH


Under the dark-yellowed sun
I shed dry tears of sweat
Whistling the tune of a cymbalic song
I forgot my tight tilted hair
Knotted with a bond of rejection

My birth place was an history
The pain of an innocent woman was a mystery
A man fighting war was in distress
No one was present for the naming feast
 Neither  a soul nor a pin

Brought up by a foster parent
My mind and body in pain
Deceived and clothed with a fake apparel
With struggling feet, i tried in vain
I was named without a name

A wondrous work of art i learn
Slowly perfect, strong in heart
With my master's word; you are lame
But in my works; i grew in fame
Surely, truly, this is what i am

I am me and me is I
Living according to my willful self
The days drew nigh
Was greedy but never covetous, enjoying but never obsessed
I was painted with an honorary gold

From me, three sons lived
Same aim, different bloodline and ties
Bond with a tiny string of affection
Lovers of inheritance, party and political actions
Together they waxed stronger

Happy liveth me when i died
Day by day i looked in admirations
Laughing with a bountiful smile
Rejoicing over my celebration
The journey seem easy

Woe to my former pains
There is none as my restful days
The wind might blow blindly
The storms might be unfriendly
I remain as firm.

The Tree of Inspiration By Babatunde Paul

I was walking through a walkway in my school, the walkway, in the middle of a thick forest by the right and another by the leftsureng the only one on the walkway I looked around and all I could see was thick,big long and strong trees then I stopped and said in me, what a sense of unity they all stood upright like  trinity and I kept on wondering, no one waters them, no one feeds them with manure and the rest so that they can grow,they experience heavy rainfall and very hot sunshine and yet they stand like they're gonna make it to the end, they survive any kind of weather and still stand strong and upright together, I hardly see a space in between the trees,they were so full of themselves like tomorrow is sure,they all were deeply rooted in their source because they knew they had no choice .one was bent and about falling but yet another was  beside it ready to help. Then I stood again and looked @ myself and thought of my friends, checked out other and the whole human race, we...

I'M GONNA GET THERE :DEMI BABATUNDE.

This is so simple and comprehensive from a Great writer: “I’m gonna get there” “I’m gonna get there!” She said. World tumbling, knees shaking, heart beating louder than a drum. “I’m gonna get there.” As human being, we try to control everything in our circumstances because we are under this illusion that we have control. Control, choice, two different words. You can choose to wear red over blue one day but you can’t control the course of that day. Recognition; the ability to realize that you are not in control. Freedom; the sensation, a feeling, an emotion that is felt when you let God take full control. God will take you there! One of the hardest things for us as human beings to do is to fully put our trust in God. However, this is the God that created Heaven and Earth. A God that angels, of majestic strength and power, bow down to and worship. This is a God that moves mountains, c...
