CHOICES







Life is a bundle of choices
You could stay where you are; or dare to go the extra mile
You could covet greedily or cherish contentment with gain
You could kill; meanwhile thou should also one day die            
You could give life and thou would one day live

To be kind; it lieth in thy hands
Brutality is also an item in life’s shopping cart
To oppress might be a worthy line for you
The oppressed also have a choice to make life unbearable for you
Sacrifice and pleasure are life’s alternates too

To respect all will do you good but that’s a choice
To disregard and dishonour all is a choice that has its own reward too
If you paint the world beautiful that’s a choice
If you trample upon it; ugly outcomes will paint you
Wonderful Alternates dwelling daily with you, choose some, others you cancel

For the future you could see the light or sight gloom
It all depends on you; and your choices too
For a much better tomorrow, it all depends on you
What are the tools, source, and books currently moulding you?
Sing a song of joy; cry a dirge, love above all, choices are wonderful

Wright Mills (1959). The Society has without a doubt been the platform for the offshoot of great developmental strides: in technology, science, literature, in culture, in globalization, i...

MY FATHER

Many framed men Hefty yet without course Many Huge men; many but yet not strong Many Daddies comes handy, yet not really Daddies But you my Father; you are out of this world Of the frame of a house set upon the hill which cannot be hidden A man brimming with daily tenacity Considerable yet wise A custodian of truth not lies Ever seen a structured entity with a structured approach; yeah that’s my Father Relentless as the Eagle strolls the skies for her eaglet in winter and summer Many men may refrain from the cold as a bane; yet in it, you toil, not issuing complain Spent time with you; never really seen your frowning face; still, u didn’t spare the cane Many men there is, yet a Good man is scarce But amongst the few; you aim for the stars @ ½ a century and 1 still bouncing like a boy I am certain you will reap many years in abundant Joy @Bolaji Olaniba (2019)

FOR EVERY SUFFERING; A BILLION MADE

For every blackout; a billion made For every darkness a bullion van Always wondering, why the contentment with our present state Men in a mask – politicos, importers of the noise engine causing us a headache For every dilapidated school; a billion made Invisible hands causing the deepest quakes For every salary not paid; a billion made Authoritarian hands multiplying the masses pain For every collapsed building; a billion made Men who threw the integrity test sheet away Now the walls cracked; not only was the foundation faulty: But some Men failed For every pond on the expressway; a billion made For every pit on our highway; some men got paid So many have somersaulted, but some has gained Oh the hydra-headed monster with tail soiling our fabric with stain How many billion more is worth the pain?
