LOVE

-
You know,
 The best way to live
Is to live by the  golden rule
''Love God and then your neighbor
But until you learn to, you can't.

Love is received,
Then its learnt and practiced
Because,its the opposite of the human nature to love

As God shows us love
We are to gladly receive it.
Next, we watch his daily acts of love,
We search the scriptures for past love displays,
And we see that love isn't an abstract concept
But a personality that received its name

As we get enlightened,
We strengthen this knowledge by reciprocating,
First to He who has taught us
And then, to those we claim don't deserve it

 Loving you neighbor,
Is another sweet one
With this straightforward hint
''Just the way you like it,
treat this person same.''

Do remember to keep your mind in check;
As you put on a balance,
what you deserve and how much love
God keeps releasing your way.
Just so you don't think you've given so much

Barrister Paul would say;
''To please God, you've got work to do''
''But God works in us and through us for his very pleasure''

-WHO IS THIS AFRICAN WOMAN-

-WHO IS THIS AFRICAN WOMAN- Who is  this  African  Woman? Don’t  muzzle the  ox,  which  thread  on  the field. The African  hope  deserves  hope. Blood  and  pain  for  the girl  of dark  skin.  Worthy  damsel  of blackness. Test  her worthiness  by  infibulating; Break  her softness  with  the cow  horn. Force  her maturity  in  streaming  tears  and  racking  pain. This  is  the African  woman. Who is  this  African  Woman? Mother of a continent,  yet  without  formal  content. Strip  her dignity  by  the brutal  thrusts  of masculine savagery. Helpless  and  hopeless,  confine  her  to  soothe. Eyes  breaming  with  smoke,  interlaced  with  tears  that  don’t  flow, She blows  the coal  of  supper,  yet  this  night  she must  feed  her  body. This  is  the African  Woman. Who is  this  African  Woman? Education  is  not  her price,  maternity  is. Bouncing  with  hope,  she  toils  the field  without  hope. I am  a  woman,  I deserve  life  to  l

  OH!! NIGERIA: An INVOCATION to THE GOD of OUR FATHERS_ Chukwu Okike Abiama- the greatest deity of all time Your unquestionable existence we extol Our fathers, your faithful worshippers Must lie uneasy in their graves What dost thou behold  Through the atmospheric strata A people in darkness thicker than the bulrushes of _Igodo_ lake  Ocean mix of blood and tears Hail and wails of the destitute For greedy sons of Belial  Serving their bellies and not us Constrain our destiny This is the cause of your wrath Oh! hearken to our pleas born by the wind  Tribal bigotry plagues us  Like a rotten ulcer on the dorsum of a diabetic's foot  Our stench exposes us to carnivores Please, come to our rescue The die is now cast Strengthen us to reclaim our wastelands To rediscover the unity in WaZoBia May our unborn offspring not remember us for shame *Ise!!!!!

NOTHING TO WRITE

-
There is nothing to write; This mind is tired of any fight; It whispers rest it is night; But there is this feeling that something is not right. There is nothing to write; Yet the will is being stired for a fight; It counsels strike just at night; When it feels that things are just right. There is nothing  to write; Yet the pen swings left and then right; I use my thoughts to light up the night; Hopefully my draft brings end to all fight. There is really nothing to write; I hope the strokes are really all right; Sleep encourages me to lay still coz it's night; Tomorrow we would pick up a new fight. Good Night Hagia Sophia wrote
