NOT THE PERFECT

 







YOU descended to deliver the weak, the downtrodden, and the rich

Not the Perfect!

YOU rule every subset of men

Not the Perfect!

The one’s who will throng at YOUR feet and pay THEE homage are those who YOU seek

Not the Perfect!

Though THOU wouldest not welcome the nonchalant nor seek the faintly meek: Still YOU sight the weak

Not the Perfect!

Those who Glory in their strength and weary men with their might YOU detest, but the humble you prefer

Not the Perfect!

To Magnify THYSELF YOU seek those who will lower themselves

Not the Perfect!

To show YOURSELF strong you search for those who render themselves small

Not the Perfect!

In YOUR perfect GLORY, YOU shine and blossom in YOUR Glory for many to see

Not the Perfect!

Simple and shinning; insignificant but MIGHTY, thou hidest THYSELF but will care to reveal THYSELF to they that seek thee

Not the Perfect!

Men may War and cause dissensions: violently take over, or enthrone themselves, but YOU remain immovable to the discerning and peaceable

Not the Perfect!

Immortal Glory, Thrones and Rewards hast THOU prepared for the childlike

Not the Perfect

Till we assemble before THEE: THINE Holy TRINITY to judge the lot of many and to sieve men into your Abode

Not the Perfect

ON THE NIGERIAN CHILD AND AN ENDANGERED FUTURE

ON THE NIGERIAN CHILD AND AN ENDANGERED FUTURE BY OLANIBA BOLAJI OLUWATOBI             Over the years our children have been victims of unusual and unfounded circumstance ranging from sexual abuse to child labor/child abuse across all fonts of first; economic activities (from mild to hard labor) in extractive, manufacturing and service industry, to the social, Educational and cultural sphere and in the hands of religious devils.   worst still is the spate at which sexual abuse against (most especially) the girl child has become pervasive in our society and perpetuated surprisingly by close relatives and neighbors, which includes those who are old enough to be the fathers and grandfathers of these girls, and even their own biological fathers, uncles, and Brothers, etc. sexual exploitation against the male child is also mounting, and should not be overlooked. Hiding sodomy agents lie around the corner pouncing upon the male children at school, in the homes and neighborhood

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

“SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE BEAUTY OF CULTURAL CONVERGENCE”

  “SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE BEAUTY OF CULTURAL CONVERGENCE” (THE LAGOS CASE STUDY) BY   BOLAJI OLANIBA One of the important factors that lubricates and checkmate the frictions inherent in multicultural societies is the presence of social development; which entails the establishment of adequate and sustainable infrastructures and the availability of equal opportunities for members of every ethnic, cultural, religious groups present in that society to access and move up the rungs of Socio - economic Ladder via the societal/lawfully prescribed way without restrictions of any kind. It is of no doubt that many Nations are plunged into this phenomenon, while some have chosen to see and live with it from a “Rainbow perspective” and work with it as such, with fruitful results and sound social development becoming the aftermaths, others have seen it as an unfortunate taboo that must be revoked; thereby leading to the creation of War situation and destruction on the assumed ba
