Hey, August, this is a piece
Out of the piece of my heart
To give a report of the peace
You have and shared with us.

Climbing down the ladder through the Months
A ladder with twelve steps
With sweet and sour experience
attached to each step
Yet, there's but only one steps
Distinct from the rest
With a sweet fragrant pinky flowers
Blinking out a trillion of promise
And trillions of goodness
Dishing out to its masses.

Oh August, how sweet thou art
With two precious birthstones;
Peridot and sardonyx.

Peridot precious green gemstones
That have come to give out the greenness
Of life measures.

Sardonyx, the white, and brown banded gemstones
With mystical powers
To give us power In life pace and race

All hail August, one who has an appetite
Not for food
But to fight the scourge of hurt and loneliness
like a love letter written with placards.

Hail August! Hail August. Hail August.
An haven board So sagacious
A Flight to heaven on board for us
Who are gregarious.

My August, you are rare and
Whether you are eight or sixth
I don't care, and it doesn't matter
All that matters is that you give sweetness.

For all your seconds, minutes
Hours, weeks, and days
are served with splendid and magnificent memories.

In you, there's day lammas,
The day Of Thanksgiving and Harvest.
A day of testimony for farmers
A day of goodness for all.

August; the busiest and fun time for tourists
For it gifts many blissful holidays.
A perfect time for friends and families
To stay blissfully and engross.

Thus, the hottest days of the year fall in August
Yet, the dry and warm august does no harm and prejudice
To plants, humans, and Harvest.

You are just so meticulous,
No wonder Ceaser Augustus
Could not let go of You, August!
'Cos You gift him many wonderful events and things
That could not be forgotten and erased.

Please, AUGUST, could you be gracious
And gift me many sweet memories
That cannot be erased
Just Like Ceaser Augustus?

___THE PERFECT SON___

_______________________________________

Within the world of truth, a son is born,
An embodiment of love, compassion, and perfection it adorns
His aura brings light
His face commands faith
His promises never too early or late.

Far above your request, He gives
Out of his abundance, to all lives.

No man knows his beginning, not even you,
No man will know his ending, not how old you grew.

When in death you strife
He gives you life.

The life and light of man
His truth, our warrant.

In Him, He took us deep still
To know His perfect will

When I live a wretched story,
He gave me His glory.

When in my youth
He showed me deeper His truth

When in bitterness I feed
His love to me, he never hid.

And when truly in Him, I believe
He made me live.

He is the perfect son
Who makes me see the beauty of the sun
He is Jesus Christ.

God is dynamic in all things, even down to how he communicates with us. God communicates with visuals.
He speaks to us through our experiences or things happening. Have you ever wondered why God had to tell the prophet Jeremiah to go to the potter's house before he could speak with him.(Jeremiah 18vs2)? The reason is that God wanted to show the prophet a clear picture of what he wanted to communicate, speaking to the prophet at a random place rather than the potter's house might have caused some distortion.

Learn to hear from God and get the message He is trying to communicate at all time and in all situations. He communicates through your situation, experience, and things around you for you to get and have a clear picture of what he is saying.
God is actually speaking to you through that which you are going through currently.
BE SPIRITUALLY SENSITIVE

HAPPY NEW MONTH ♥️❤️🥂

Faces and the words of a person might be a deceit; only the heart tells the truth. The intent of a man's heart is who he truly is….
DOUBLE IDENTITY; A MISTAKE OF IDENTITY, is a piece written out of the experience of deceit….

We all desire great things, but sometimes circumstances kept us at the edge.

What do you do when circumstances kept you at the edge…?
… Paint out beauty from the circumstances that kept you at the edge to have the great results.

Creativity, all birth from the Almighty
And given to humanity
For a perfect continuity
For the works of art in its originality.

God made man;
An act and art of creativity
Man made things;
Artificial but All beautiful, useful
And pleasant to all.

Creativity in art,
Art in creativity
comes from the source called life
And there's a prefect worth in all works of art.

Art is never dead
Even if the subject has a disability
For there's ability in disability
And pleasant for the works of nature

True disability is not the absence of ability
But the absence of a mind that perceives
And a spirit that processes that which the mind perceives.
Art perceives and brings a perfect meaning.

Art is beyond the physical
But a symbolic perfect meaning
That birth the essence of life
In a blissful image and picture

Art is home; the connection between all senses and heart
There's ability in art
For it sees beyond the inability of man
It paints out perfect from imperfections.

Art is a cure: it bleeds out your hurt on a paper and strings;
for there's an unrestrained expression in the hospitality you get from it.
Art connects you to your world
And spine you to the realm of the Lord.

Art drives you to your dream land
It sketches, draws and paints out your dreams to reality
There's life in art
There's power in art

Don't stop living
Don't stop painting
Don't stop drawing
Don't stop singing
Don't stop writing

There's worth in art
There's worth in life
Art is life.
Life is art.

Humans are mortal;
life will end
Your art is an act that continues even after life
It lives even after you leave.

Art is life; it's immortal
It speaks when your voice seizes
It speaks when your hands seize
It's your posterity when you cease to be.

You know those days when you feel empty. And you have called upon God so many times, still you don't hear anything from him. You are just so frustrated and God seems far away. And so many questions on your mind which made you conclude that God doesn't exist. Does God not exist truly?

Hmm! mm. Yeah, I have had quite a number of those lately, but the great and divine encounter I had birthed this piece from the depth of my heart. And ever since, it has been a source of warmth and comfort to me.

I decided to share that experience of comfort and joy with you all, conveyed in this piece titled “The Unsearchable Being” I want you to know that from the very beginning, God had you in His plan and has made provisions for all you need.

When all you ever enjoyed from those you look up to is suffering and rejection, what would you do?

Our grief is a poem that expresses the bitterness of having a bad leader who only cares about their stomach and neglects others who they are meant to care for. These leaders take the public fund and make it their personal fund.

However, the poet concluded the lines by saying only the Almighty can deliver us, and when He does, we shall regain our strength and be for positive change and the beginning of a new era.

WHEN POVERTY STRIKES

What do you say to a friend
Whose way is no longer straight, but now bend?

What do you do when you see your once perfect city
feeding under the grief and scorn of pity?

What do you do when your eloquent brother
sits on a solid stammering and blabbing
Chair, all surrounded by deceit butter?

But I tell you, when poverty strikes
Man becomes unpredictable
His ways becomes a toss of trees
carried at the slightest whistle of breeze
For he is poverty-stricken.

When poverty strikes
Man esteem would be thrown through the window
With his left hand of low thinking
And his pride would be pride less

When poverty strikes
Integrity becomes a history;
Such a mystery that's not explanatory.
And Goodwill becomes nothing.

When poverty strikes
Ethics become useless
Leaving man's integrity overt
With his inner sense
Combing the street of ignorance
Man's worth becomes useless.

When poverty strikes
A devoted teacher
becomes an addicted sinner.

When poverty strikes
A man with boldness and action
Would be made to sit in the tray of coldness and placed under a high condition
In the estate of purpose and ambition.

When poverty strikes
Moral becomes immoral
All for the sake of survival
But then who loose?
The user or the used?

AMBASSADORS OF CORRUPTION

You can look through our eyes
But all you will ever see is night,
Many lives dyeing alive
Just because the lies, we believe.

From different clan we came to learn
So we can be free from wars and frightful laws
But we were made to wage war against ourselves.

We were supposed to fight for freedom
we were supposed to fight for freedom from our monster master
But our rights and freedom were traded for barter.

For the fear of poverty, we sold our dreams
And never align our schemes
Just a single person gives
And he took many lives.

In our house we were made a guest
But they took for themselves the best.
They've become our master
And over us a governing monster.

For greediness; our fortune they eat
They made us wait at the gate of death.
They starved us with our meat!

But often they eat
Yet, their stomachs aren't full.
Their appetite is given to delicious toxic.

Patriotic of corruption
Ambassadors of lies
Boastful merchants of games
Savage masters in the guise of savior.

Toxic compatriots who dine and wine in treason
of Their conscience, they locked their good reasoning in prison
'Cuz of their dubious reason.

They dine and wine in pleasant destruction
For the fear of their future
and that of their next generation.
And they store corrupt treasures
for their future generations.
They neglected others folks generation
But they will perish because they lack sincere direction.

They left the truth undone and ran after lies.
Their evil act they ought to lock in prison
But a poor innocent conscience they lock in prison.

They are Ambassadors of corruption,
determined merchants of games
They loot away our treasures
In the marketplace of ignorance
Under the pressure of poverty
And we have no choice than to
Obey our master's voice; the ambassadors of corruption.

But our freedom comes with death
This death I hope would make others breath
This death I hope would bring life
And hereafter in peace we would live.

A WOMAN ISN'T LESS HUMAN

I may not be afraid of snakes
I may not be afraid of lions
I may not be afraid of humans criticism
I may not be afraid of crisis without
I may not be afraid of death.

But I am certainly afraid of the me
Who is afraid of taking and chasing opportunities
Just because she thinks it's risky

I'm afraid of the me who is a coward;
She dies many times even before death comes

I'm scared of the me who feed herself with poison and relay on venom;
The venom and poison from sugarcoated talk of people.

I'm afraid of the me who paints her face with fear
And walks majestically in the garment of low self-esteem.

I'm afraid of the me who eats from the plate
of misery and sympathy
What a pathetic woman she is.

She was too weak and couldn't stand on her feet
To stab her defeat.

She's so comfortable in the seat of vulnerability
She crosses her legs as insensitive
She can't even fight negativity
She is a pessimist
Optimistic and positive aren't in her dictionary.

Soon, it will die now
I meant those virtues and treasures unused.

Because she's a woman
Doesn't make her less human

Because she's a woman
doesn't mean she is weak
And vulnerable.

But she is a woman when she stands tall
Through it all.
She's a woman when she stands strong
Even in the face of adversity and misery
She's a woman when she stands firm and never gives up
She's a woman when she stands strong on her feet to say no to her defeat
She is a woman when she sees beyond her limitations
She's a woman when she sees beauty in future
Even when the present is ugly.

She mustn't give up because she is a woman
But she must stand strong because she is an entity that houses greatness.

She's a woman;

A spoken word that talks about the abilities of woman. The female gender isn't inferior…

01/20/2024

“THOSE WHO NEEDS PATIENT THE MOST WANT IT LESS”

Sandra: (Talking to herself) I need to study and prepare well for tomorrow's interview. I can't afford to fail any of the interview questions. (WhatsApp messages from her friend pop up) No, Cynthia, this is not the time to chat with you. I must be focused. I am determined to pass this test once and no Cynthia would hinder me.(She continues with her studies and after a while, she went out for a stroll)

THE NEXT DAY
(At 5: 30am, Sandra is already dressed up, ready to go for her interview when her mum came in)
Sandra's Mum: Sandra, I can see you are ready to go for your interview. But at least eat something before going.
Sandra: No mum, I must be there early.
Sandra's Mum: But you still have some time left, after all the interview is by 7:00am:
Sandra:(Already walking out) A minute longer here means I would be late. You no Nigeria traffic nau. Just pray for me.
Sandra's Mum: okay, oooo, the Lord be with you.

AT THE PLACE OF INTERVIEW

(Sandra got to the place at exactly 6:30 am. She was the first to got there among other interviewees. They all seated waiting for the interview to commerce.)

Sandra (looked at her wristwatch then busted out) What kind of rubbish is this. This is almost 8:00am and no one to attend to us. This is pure nonsense..........(She went on to say all sorts of abusive words)
While Sandra was still talking, a lady walked down and greeted them (interviewees)
Lady: Good morning all, apologies for keeping you all waiting (Sandra continues muttering some abusive words, the lady tried to calm her down, but she never stops). I am pleased to announce to you that the four of you except this lady (point to Sandra) as passed this interview. The waiting is the interview because the job requires patience, so we use this method to test the patience of everyone who applied for the job.

That was how Sandra lost her dream job because she lacked patience even though she possessed other qualities. She thought she can achieve all she wanted in this life as long as she was focused, determined, and hardworking without giving Mr. Patience any chance in her life. Though all these virtues listed above are good, but there is a need for patience at every point in our life in other to make our determination comes to reality.

Note: Our Patience is tested through the period of waiting. Abraham was patience enough to wait for God's promises, even when it seems it's taking longer. No wonder, Patience is among the fruit of the spirit.
