Life is Short and Great By: Mesimo Yemi

Life is short and great and with all pleasure that comes out of it. "Life", make the best out of it. Even when sadness comes, cheer it off with the little of happiness that comes. Never loose "Hope".

After my father died, I lost concentration, I lost Hope.

A friend of mine now said, "you are to young to loose Hope",

And I said, "where was Hope before I lost my Father?", he said again, "Don't loose Hope". Then, I started struggling, having the mindset not to lose Hope. After two years of studying a course, I lost Hope. Why? Because I never kept it real. Then, the friend said, "never keep fake Hope, keep it real, keep the hopes real". Then, I remembered the words of my father; "To make it in life, you must have a dream and struggle more." So, I started to dream, to struggle, so I could reach the point of success. Before the death of my father, life brought happiness in my home, but after his death, life traded it for sadness. However, from the little of happiness, you drew my strength from "Hope". Since then, I have been hoping and dreaming for more.

"Keep it real and Struggle more to reach a successful point".

DREAMS OF A perfect FAMILY VANDALISED BY A FAKE IFA PRIEST

Who is man to God? Who is God to man How much distance do our prayers cover by land? In relation to our circumstances and time What does man think of what he sees? And what does God see of what man thinks Emmanuel; God with us But Immanuel on Alakija Street is having spiritual blurred visions On a trip to the priest to inquire of what the future holds, Inheriting gold and paying exceedingly half its worth to verify if it’s gold The tales of Alamu the one with the gift of palmistry Brothers killed brothers, Because the other has been identified to be, The one who will inherit the gift of the fathers, Which of my kids shall be successful? Answers of which the priest shall deliver A gift of wine, a gift of hen, The fake priest gets fatter, Worshipers of the deity that sip champagne and eat gizzards Whilst living off the believers hazard Your mother is a witch Your sister is the glitch Until your siblings die your lineage shall not succeed, These priests we...

MAY YOUR ROAD BE ROUGH By Tai Solarin, Jan. 1, 1964

I am not cursing you; I am wishing you what I wish myself every year. I therefore repeat, may you have a hard time this year, may there be plenty of troubles for you this year! If you are not so sure what you should say back, why not just say, ‘Same to you’? I ask for no more. Our successes are conditioned by the amount of risk we are ready to take. Earlier on today I visited a local farmer about three miles from where I live. He could not have been more than fifty-five, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously. He still suffered, he said, from the physical energy he displayed as a farmer in his younger days. Around his hut were two pepper bushes. There were kokoyams growing round him. There were snail shells which had given him meat. There must have been more around the banana trees I saw. He hardly ever went to town to buy things. He was self-sufficient. The car or the bus, the television or the telephone, the newspaper, Vietnam or Red China were nothing to ...

TAPOTI By: Mao Zedong

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo: Who is dancing with these rainbow colours in the sky? Air after rain, slanting sun: mountains and passes turning blue in each changing moment. Fierce battles that year: bullet holes in village walls. These mountains so decorated, look even more beautiful today. Artwork via: Forbes
