THE AGE OF THE EARTH IS NUMBERED


The sun danced along joyfully,
The moon clapped beautifully,
The breeze swung here and there
The stars came, singing of hope,
The oceans, the rivers and the sand
gathered in the field to watch nature.

When you go home do not eat,
The manner shall fall this night,
The activist shall rise without mouth,
Without your nose shall mouth stand,
The age of Mother Nature is written
on my palms and can be counted here.

Tell grave that mother must not come
to her with a bleeding body that curse,
Tell the idle ants not to boast to father,
Tell the jobless birds that the nature is angry,
Make them eat their vomits and venoms
For being jobless in the market place of the skies.

I can stand and judge the earth,
I can count the forests with my eyes,
Do not look at my eyes locked away,
I am the night of the night in dreams
when Nature comes home with me,
on the Bamboo chair shall he sit to eat.

The age of mother earth is numbered;
Her age is written before men of grace,
Soon, she would be gone from this planet,
Soon, she would be tale to tell to fables,
Our children shall see her no more here
But they shall be told of her troubles to men.

When the messiah shall come in glory
The earth shall be no more but a snow
Where will you be then at sight of this?

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

Image
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. [Latin virgo -gin-] All the above definitions of virgin points to one thing: natural state of something; a state of not being utilized.
