PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD

(ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)

By Bolaji Olaniba

There is one whose ambitions are greater than the sacred life of the people

He tosses his glass of wine to the massacre of the common man

The news of scattered human flesh pinches him not

He is immovable, because of his never satisfied political want

*Sigh*

Hope in the existence of the SUPREME ONE; Common man.

Though the ideology of our political dogs seems greater to them than the human Blood

All around the world are leaders whose smiles are as Dane guns

*Sighs*

Hope in the existence of the ALMIGHTY ONE; common man.

They stand upon watery ideologies

Claiming they will see it out with all their ability,

That they represent men called; ordinary

But they end up with staunch grudges

Maiming same beings by virtue of great greed.

Religious they say, political they claim

Being sponsored by those who put out teethes of deceit

Men of assumed admirable virtues

Hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They turn in the dark and wire out mischief

*Sighs*

Hope in the EVERLASTING ONE; common man.

You ohhh masked Devils

Claiming the fight for your right,

Your ideologies,

You touch not the Political Snakes and chameleons

But shatter the dreams of the common man

For your selfish ambitions.

Prepare to meet your GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEAR MOTHER EARTH SPEAK

From steam to the combustion engine Dangerous smokes daily dished out to her baby clouds Even though we are having several meetings; signing many treaties We still haven’t attended to her daily plead See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak Many the Nations their trees; they fell Many countries their Forest; less dense Many cities uprising at much expense Detriment to the soul of the mother without replenishment See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak All the Gs; 3, 4, 5 and more To generates massive speed for our daily needs A reality and prep to face more heat Guess we aren’t checking many things, deforesting to get more Gigs See our warmth becoming heat, hope you hear the earth speak Even the deep isn’t left out of this gory head Mother earth’s squids and whales can’t escape the unchecked human race Coral reefs feeling the heat down beneath, tiny fishes dying of the spills...

Nigeria and the “care – free’’ culture

Nigeria and the “care – free’’ culture “Culture” according to Sir E.B Tylor (an anthropologist) is that complex whole that includes Knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs, and any other capabilities and habits that are collectively acquired by man as member of society. While culture is a beautiful phenomenon that creates a platform for uniqueness and group identity, however, certain behavioral practices stems from dangerous and unpalatable habits of the people and later expands into a full blown culture. Over the years as a result of political shortsightedness and inefficiencies which created economic stagnation and social nuisances, Nigeria according to my philosophy has eventually fit into an analogy of a fleshy human body having its skeletal frame work made of half bones, quarter sticks, with some parts held together by brooms, some by straws, making the country one with a philosophy of a staggering drunkard that stands and fall bedeviled with disappearing and re –...

AFRICAN dictators; Beware!!! It's a new dawn

In the race for progressive societies, the quest for modernity and advancement; the basic form of Government universally agreed and accepted as constituting the most ideal and potent for promoting the platform and umbrella for individual self expression, development, and advancement without repression of any sort Is Democracy; the Government of the people, by the people and for the people according to Abraham Lincoln. It is rather unfortunate that since the attainment of independence by 98% of African nations, many have witnessed democratic - dictatorial regimes, as far stretched as the past can be recollected. This is a paradoxical situation that throws one into some moments of “awe”, from south Sudan’s Omar al – Bashir (28 years rule and counting) to Paul Biya of Cameroon (35 years and still counting), down to Paul Kagame of Rwanda (17 years and still counting) and recently ousted former presidents in Yahyah Jammeh and Robert Mugabe of Gambia and Zimbabwe respectively. The rule ...
