CAN THE LION BE GREATER THAN THE JUNGLE?

-
Our thought most time reflects the crust of our cerebral imagination
Sometimes mine reflects what I desire, my crossness and indignation.
The proverbial lion is the king of the jungle says the African folklore
Sitting under the shed of a huge tree we can only take sketch-tour.
Our then diminutive mind filled with the image of a lion walking elegantly in the jungle
With this aesthetic picture we tangle and wangle all night in rhythmic, re-current mingle
The lion- the king and the Jungle is all our minds imagines until this thought expires
But what happened when swiftly the hitherto peaceful jungle is on fire.
Even the majestic Lion, un-characteristically will be on the run
Not because he is weak but maybe because he lives to fight another turn.
Can the lion be greater than the Jungle?
A group of lions covered by a large colored ‘umbrella’
Walk tall in a jungle mixed with different species in an area.
The Lions and their umbrella now covers and harbors danger
The crust of this Jungle is located in the area near the Niger
This ‘elite sects’ each protecting its pride in its lion’s pride
Oppressing the majority disguising like a groom to a bride
Every gentle strides watched closely incase of a swift pounce
This peaceful and gullible jungle now filled with so much tense.
These lions all think their pride is greater than the Jungle
Not minding whose horse is gored they wrangle
Forgetting that the fire scourging the jungle will affect the lion’s fame
The proverbial lions will be on the run and it will be a dance of shame.
The Lion can never be greater than the Jungle…
Lions come and go but the Jungle lives on …

(Dedicated to the people, dead or alive of the country where two rivers meet)

MENDING MIND

Clouds forming off a crux whirl Thoughts come rolling awhile Of my past reminiscing in a matrix With turbulent unending affix From my curly lowly lonely hearts Whispering conscientious arts Reaching into imagination untold Hoping for positive to unfold Of possible plausible joy that could But not sure that's all that would Our humanity in this we see Of our flaws we suffer some fee Our mind travel but its often gaged By many, any and every often tagged Should I rise from all irrespective I only pray for a new perspective

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

-
  The power of imagination and the power of believe are like Siamese twin, once you have the ability to imagine the result you desire, your belief in what you imagined will bring home the result. The question you need to answer at every point what do I believe in. Like Henry said, "if you think yo can, you can, if you think you can't, you are also right". You are only as able as what you believe. You don't go into a battle expecting to lose because if that is what your believe is, you don't need to bother, it is a done deal, the battle is in deed lost! Once you have sorted out what you believe (which is half way the journey, however an important half), the next then is you then channel your effort to what you believe in. What do you believe in? you believe in that prospect, in that person, in that project in that possibility... What do you believe in? They say ''believe you can then can what you believe and sit on the can''. but before you can do a

A CHAPTER FROM MY LIFE STORY

-
Named Seth because I was a gift after the loss of a child. The 5th Child of 6 siblings raised by a Military man with discipline of the highest 'quality'.  Mum was a house wife into small.scale trading. Dad a devoted christian, deacon & who gave little or no liberty. My first real liberty was choosing to go to University of Ilorin instead of University of Ibadan so as to be away from home and refusing to start over at OAU to read law (which we both wanted before) but I was already in 2nd year in University of Ilorin. He wasn't going to pay my school fees any more because I disappointed him with that decisional not to go start over  and get the chance to be a Lawyer. Economically were weren't the poorest but not rich either. We got basic needs but sometimes we had to wait and pray for the source of the next meal. My parents had to borrow to send us through school because my father promised to send everyone through higher institutions at any cost even if he had to be
