OMOBOLAJI

When the going was good with OMOBOLAJI

Omobolaji,
You came to me like an angel;
You're once my forerunner; you told of my coming to the land of prominence.
You're once a seer; you saw what other sights are blind to.
You called me great and you aren't wrong but
you left as fast as you came.

Omobolaji,
Once more since you left,
the thoughts of you invade my heart and covered my sight; I couldn't see until
I let my pen bleed maybe this invader will leave when his blood dry in the outpour of my heart.

Omobolaji,
You're once the smile that heal the sick but
now your frowns can kill a lion.
you're once my hope when all hopes hoped away but now you look back and woe those times.
You're once the tree, on which I leaned,
Your sweet words were the ointment that healed my ailing heart.
Why have you decided to turn your back now?

Omobolaji,
Why has my presence become a pestilence?
and my muscled body you craved for now irritate you?
Why has the sonorous voice of a troubadour which you longed to hear now sings disdainful strains to your ears?
Why did you choose to see the wrongs when the rights begged to be noticed?

Omobolaji,
I have always warned you that Life will bring your fear but you fled for the fear of envisaged fear.
you disobeyed me; you peered into the future and saw nothing thus you strangled the present.
you flew away on the shoulders of my faults but unknown to you,
Life only presented to you what you wanted to see.

Omobolaji,
I called you a passerby because you decided to pass by when you should stay.
You opened to me the floodgate of wisdom; buttressed it with love as pure as the spring waters but you decided to go before I could reciprocate.
You listened to the trusted voices: my realistic voice, the signs and warnings of your relations
but they all worked for Life to convince you of what you always wanted to see.

Omobolaji,
I beg of you to cease to see what seem,
I beg of you to cease to see through your fears or believe trusted voices that only see what seems.
Seize my heart now when he still linger for you.
I know you are beautiful and will always find another man; a million men perhaps but you can never find another me.
I hope you make the right choice and not say your story with a deep sigh whenever you are asked.

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. In fact, the pervasive nature of communication makes it impossible for us to ever refuse to communicate as long as we are living. Hence, the axiom; “ we cannot not communicate ” comes into place. In view of the above, one will see that communication is very important to man. It is a cord that binds every part of the society together. Human activities and achievements have relationship with communication whether one expresses himself verbally or through non-verbal means, even when a man is presumed silent, he is in a way ...

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? Maybe we just don’t define them rightly. Now let’s define them. According to Oxford Dictionary, holy from which holiness is derived are defined as follows: 1. Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred. [Old English: related to *whole] Let’s talk the meaning of virginity just as well. Virginity means remaining a virgin and according to Oxford Dictionary virgin is defined as follows: 1. Person who has never had sexual intercourse. 2. (The Virgin) Christ's mother Mary. 3. (The Virgin) sign or constellation Virgo. —adj. 1 not yet used etc. 2. Virginal.
