FROM THE FIRST STEP (THE BATTLE IN THE WEB)




With hands and legs garnering momentum and strength to start the race
The toddler picks upon the platform of consistency
He takes his first step
All, wear beautiful smiles; non as vibrant as the sister of nature
                                      
He starts the course of which he seeks reconnection to the source that teleported him
He is faced with an army of fine tuners
The lot of multitude who wants to strike a stroke on his tabula rasa
They even placed an identity tag on him,
The battle between the instinctual and the moulders

He gets fine-tuned; the Lot buys him an identity
Now he has got to wear the moulders dress on nature’s given clay
He begins to meet like mind folks and starts to reassess the dress he has been given
He observes that some dresses though similar; had some colourful variations in retrospection
But he doesn’t mind; he dips His hands into gold sacks made for him by Mother Nature
He discovers some rough shinning stones; though nice but crude
Who is going to help polish these?
He is got to either strive to polish
Or the “Lot “polishes or throws the gem stone in the mould

He laces his boots, stretches forth and back
For the sake of decency; he trails the path designed by the “Lot “as desirable for polishing the gem stones
His person is now fully grown
He tries to break forth from the web of the lot;
With firm grips upon him; comes the warning; it is yet the appointed time!!!
So He had to play the dummy

But when he broke forth; it was with a great spin; his head turned; Almost writing off the settings of the moulders
A feeling of utmost independence gripped him; now the prosecutors stood affront
With long whips to modify and re-adjust ones with errors and internal jams

He stays calm; but with the quest to achieve the amiable
He sets his eyes on his desired spot; the lot came with a proposal of a more appealing one
He’s got choices now; He strives to get what he his seeing, though the lot cannot see it,
They want him to see theirs

Encumbered in the struggle and race; now a man
With all he has attained
He goes down the lane of time
Struggles to take the last step
 Mother Nature replaces him
He seeks reconnection to the source that weaved him

OUR WORLD: FAR FROM MEEKNESS

Our sphere though laden with many souls, but not many 'souls' Many clans, many groups, many races, yet many hates  Discrimination, prejudices, stereotypes, greed and bigotry forms at least many hates  Our faces gloom, many faces dried, yet many hearts filled with hates Help is far, piety is missing, bliss is wanting, we've sent meekness packing  We are proving our worth by monuments of mammon and by violent contest, for we've sent meekness packing Enough has been transformed to scarcity, safety to war; for greed came knocking, so we sent meekness packing  We are considering our unique identity above our humanity, less or no empathy; for we've sent meekness packing Though we strive and fight, though we battle for supremacy  Alas! as it is written in the books of Yeshua, only a kind of humanity shall reign upon the earth The meek, yes the meek: they shall inherit the gains of this sphere Yes! they shall reign in the lands, hence, we could choose their path Bo...

Nay! Not an abode from they that slay

-As conquest grew and wars loomed  - A hand grew mightily up in the lands of sreal - A hand that slain, as of first practice, the flesh of bears and blood of beast flowed like streams. - He slain the 10,000 and the 100,000 - The flesh and foreskins of men wearied him  in the land of philistines for yea! They were many that lieth waste  - He grew mightily by the Hand of His Lord, His kingdoms stayed knitted together; indivisible - This man sought a house for His Lord of lords and His King of kings - Nay!! saith His Lord, thine hands are filled with violence and thine feet tread upon streams of blood, they flow before me as oceans - Hence, should I dwell in an abode coupled by these hands, nay!! - I have chosen thine offspring, he shall give me an abode I desire, from the hands of peace  - No one takes your place in my heart - But nay!! a house of blood!! I wouldest not take from thee  (Tales And Rhymes Of a Man GOD Loved So Much) By Bolaji Olaniba

PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)

POEMS THAT INVOKE THOUGHT 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 Me...
