TWO THIRTY FOUR

Leaders of tomorrow
Voice of the nation
Mirror reflecting the future
Endowed with wisdom by nature
To parents we show obedience
To teachers we express appreciation
Our books we marry
Our future our priority
Our studies our legacy.

But here we are
Slaves to madmen
carted away like hen
from our treasure
our bright future
to the world of agony
handled like rags
To satisfy their fanatic madness

Here we are
numbered two thirty four
or more
waiting to be raped
sold off or rescused

read about our abducted girls

DON'T YOU CARE?

Don't you care?

Lives are ended daily
The state becomes so bally
to live in, the people killed like chicks you rear
Yet you move about in a rally
neglecting your promise to care
You are indeed a wally.

Do you really care?
Students stay at home for
weeks, months over four
The education sector is disintegrating
Yet your beautifulugly children are advancing
their studies in the whiteman's country
You indeed are a wally

I know you don't care
loyal ones are rare
You call yourselves leaders of the country
Yet you swallow our money
and step it down with adultery
while the commoners are suffering
in anguish they are living.

No, you don't care
Nemesis is there to care
for you and your generations who are not here
to see you wear
the garment that will sear
you even to hell.

LIFE IS A VEHICLE

          Life has many definitions. To some, it is a journey, to some a rag, while to some, it is beautiful. Whichever way, life is whatever you call it. This is so because each definition comes from the perspective it is being seen.

          Life I see to be a vehicle. Merely hearing the title, your imagination is jerked to life. You will begin to imagine a vehicle called life, stream of questions begin to flow in your mind- questions like: 'why is life a vehicle?', 'who then is the driver?'. on and on the questions seems to flow in the inner mind.

           Life is a vehicle. As a vehicle, it accommodates several people from different phases of life, different classes of the society. Before the vehicle jerk to life, people (both the rich and the poor, the beautiful and the ugly, the literate and the illiterate, the young and the old) board it, heading to different destinations.

         Also, without fuel, the vehicle can never movr. The fuel serves as its life fluid, just like blood in the human body. Another important thing to note is that even when fueled, it can't work without the direction of the driver. The driver, if experienced, controls the vehicle more gently and observing the traffic laws. On the other hand, a reckless driver will surely bring damages to the vehicle.

        When on motion, every thing moves backward quickly. On the way, it might have to move on overhead bridges. It sometimes find itself in pot-holes and have to pass on bumps. Sometimes it rain, sometimes the sun shine, the vehicle keeps on moving. When driven by the good driver, there is always an assurance of safety, arriving at the final destination in peace and vice versa.

        Analogically, LIFE is the vehicle, GOD is the experienced driver, SATAN  the reckless, HUMANS are the passrngers. THE BUMPS AND HOLES depicts challenges of life. The SAFE ARRIVAL at the final destination depicts success and happiness at the end of our tribulations, IF ONLY WE CAN ENDURE.

          Why not employ that experienced driver to drive your life? Employ HIM today, tommorrow might be too late.

        

THE PRINCE CHARMING

In the midst of people

He stands out

Definitely gregarious, noticed by the people

Charming, a real one

In the pageant, surely he won

With his girl, he loves to take a time out

like a prince charming He really is.

His face, a full moon

His eyes are nothing

but shining stars

shining so beautiful

Walking in the most charming way

His voice, a seductive note

Little wonder I find him charming

Definitely gregarious, noticed by ME

The prince charming.
