GREED






Prosperity Could Run Through The Skies: Even Into Outer Space

Wealth Might Increase In Magnificent Rate
But With Men’s Greed, Within The Twinkle Of An Eye
All Will Come Crashing Like A Weak Crane


You Wonder Why Many Rich Land Lay Barren
Many Beautiful Gardens Turn Garbage Grounds
Why Many Children Grow Thin While Their Land Is Ladened With Milk
That’s The Trick That Gluttonous Men Play; It Called Greed


The Greedy Man Would Rather Die With Wealth In His Tummy
Than To Vomit The Bail Out Whose Absence Has Crippled The Economy
It’s A Sad Story: For The Greedy, It’s A Happy One
If He Has Swallowed Enough He Still Thinks Of Hiding More


The Root Of Mens Inequality
Originator Of Excessive Suffering
Stealer Of The Gains Of National Struggle
Mens Greed


It Considers Not
It Pities Not
It Hath No Mercy
Always Joyous In Plundering

Greed Never Knows Little Can Be Managed
Always Wanting All Things To Its Advan+Tage
Many Men Has Hugged This Beast
They’ve Created Room For It In Their Soul, In Whose Four Corners They Feast

Align Your Soul With Great Discipline
Look To The Creator Of All Things
Never Seek To Create All, To Own All
For No One Can, But With Consideration Everyone Will “Have’’

Align Not With This Beast

It’s Called Greed!!!!

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 ...
