PAINS OF A POET (WHEN PEOPLE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND YOU)






Alas!
Here I am again with a lady
who has vowed not to trust me.
It just leaves me wondering why
This world has failed to understand me.
 It pains like salt on injury but this is
the man I am: Sincere and transparent.
I wonder why they dispose my dispositions
and believe nonexistent unbelievable.

why am I the one asking many questions?
Why do they mute and move away?
Alas! My innocent curiosities
has been arrested for meddling,
And  my liveliness, artistry has been penalized
For dubiousness and lust.
The offenses I'm accused of
are those I detest most.

The virtues I have are those they think I lack.
Why are the wrongs always appealing?
Why am I always seen as an evil genius?
Why do they see with their deceitful eyes
And not with their hearts?
They trust their sightless sights
but this mystery takes insights not sights.
This is sad.

 I know you can't believe me too,
I know you'd count complicated complexities,
I know you'd call this a poem and
forget poems are written from the heart
 not just from the head.
anyway,
 I owe my point to God who sees
The hearts not you.

NOTE

This poem is dedicated to people like me who have struggled so hard to make people believe they are innocents of certain indecency but people never believed them; they believe they are mean when they are not.
This struggle is synonymous with the poets and other artistes whose works are mostly Make-believe to change the world.
I urge you to shift your focus on God; it doesn't matter how people see you, what matter is how God see you. Prove your point to God, not them.

SOUL'E RHYMEZ POETRY COMPETITION SEASON1

POEM 1 And Divinity Wept Love I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave. His heart of love made him endure the cross, For he died that he may redeem man from loss; Being divine his blood made man as pure as a dove Even in death, still in his heart was love....

THE RUDIMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Let ’ s start by knowing what we call Communication. COMMUNICATION As food and water is crucial to human survival, so does Communication. Communication pervades every human activity, man cannot do without it. We are engrossed in it from the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to bed in the night; from birth to death we are in perpetual state of communication. It is a phenomenon that cuts across the daily activities of human beings.

Talking about virginity to some people, you are indirectly talking about holiness, but have we ever tried to ask what the differences are? Does virginity have anything to do with holiness?

Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred.
