MUSIC: THE LIFE’S MELODY
What would your life be like without music? Straight from the heart to the hearts, Is it that calms the soul. A universal language on men’s lips, As we hum along with rhythm unknown, It’s a therapy for the wounded mind, A melody for the merry heart, A steady momentum for the soaring soul. ItContinue reading “MUSIC: THE LIFE’S MELODY”
HOLIDAYS
How do you celebrate holidays? REST: in a serene homing environment where the body feels at home. RELAX: in the cool of the evening breeze, where the mind is let loose from matters that borders.

IT WAS A REPEATED BURNT OFFERING
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. Belly was flat, mind was unsettled, Need for food, food uncooked in kitchen, Then rose the man out of his mind, Though busy with many stuff On the table littered with thoughts, Straight to the kitchen, To cook beans for meal, Few preparation he did, ThenContinue reading “IT WAS A REPEATED BURNT OFFERING”

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. Long down the street of time, At my formative stage of mind, There I perceived the gruesome side of life, In fear I cringed at every sight.

What are your favorite types of foods?

How often do you walk or run? Only the lame and the impotent are exempted from walking in my world, Not that our environment is impermissive for their steps on our street, But their condition constraints them to a spot unlike others, Walking daily over long distance is a means of survival, We walk toContinue reading “WALK”

I have seen the new moon, He will be my companion for the next 365, I call all and sundry to the dinning table of love, As I pump the wine of peace across boundless borders, Come-on to celebrate with me, Distance is never a barrier to cheers in love, Today is another new beginning,Continue reading “ON THIS DAY”
LEADERSHIP
Do you see yourself as a leader? A position coveted by two-thirds of the global populace, So attractive in some quarters that men kill men to attain it, Uncountable compromises of sedition, blackmail are put forward, To pull down any possible opponent to the throne of leadership, Sane minds that possess the attributes to leadContinue reading “LEADERSHIP”
I WILL SEE A NEW MOON BY 9/15
Back in history I saw the moon, One contact I thought for a life time, But no I was wrong, It might be for my unconscious heart. Little was I when I bid the placenta goodbye, It is a new world altogether I perceived, Crying at the top of my tiny innocent voice, Then IContinue reading “I WILL SEE A NEW MOON BY 9/15”
