REMINISCENCE (…Year ending)

-


Time flicks, tricks and ticks

Moments come and we chrome

Events in our memories flips and trips

Seconds, minutes, hours, weeks and months trickle, twinkle and tinkle

Seeing 2010 came 365 days ago, we had ego, tried to grow or let go, and got gold

Candle light in the wind, sand from a beach, torn in the flesh-clown, crown and gown all in our town

We shared our story, rejoice in glory, wept at gory, had amongst many a worry, received and said sorry.

Not Jos-tified, Boko-Maiduguri, Niger Delta and Abuja amongst others- storms, bombs-blast, bumps, blobs.

Sick to be late President, ruling Kabal- Nation on auto-pilot- Kaita-carus & Aiye-d-miss World cup- women team in victory

Acting and substantial President, Sanusi & Senate, INEC & missing DDC machines, Re-election & selection

6000 Mega Watts- Not Realistic, Power we still cant be-holding, Strikes, Fuel Scarcity but a nation at 50 still unfolding

What is seen is what is known not what should have been… we fall, crawl, sprawl, but we stood tall

We visited, called, text, wrote, face-booked, tweeted and mailed- kept social and business strings going

Goals scored and conceded, battles won and lost, Profit gained and lost, was ill but recovered.

Made Noise, Prayed,, preached, praised, sang, drummed, danced, shouted & screamed- connect spiritually.


Advised, counselled, fixed and cancelled appointments, attended & administered interviews, had reiews & saw previews

sometimes we were evicted, rejected, ejected & dejected- Suffered loss or fought a cause, abused, refused, confused.

We hurt, fought, sought, tought, went to court, showed our guts, felt insults, had our faults, had droughts but had comfort.

We showed some tricks, had our chrome, made some trips, got and lost gold but we were not alone.

had friends, foes flaws, enemies, frenemies, family, bonds & bounds but never alone

Through it all… IF IT HAS NOT BEEN THE LORD WHO WAS ON OUR SIDE?



AT THE END... WE ARE STILL STANDING!



WISHING YOU ALL A BETTER NEW YEAR 2011



Thank you all for being part of my 2010 experience

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

...THEN YOU WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH

-

Growing up like other kids, we like you had different thoughts and many aims and ambitions. We had dreams of many things we would love to turn out to be. Even though we never know how we will get there but one thing we knew was that we want to be what we envisioned ourselves to be. Most times we tilted our ambitions or plan as the days went by and we grew up. But ultimately we wanted to be successful and flawless. We wanted to be as good as it gets and be good enough for all to see. In our minds we flew jets, traveled all over the world, walked on the moon, stood in front of millions to talk, sing or preach, we were signing autographs, became the huge successful singer or the irreplaceable actor, great and convincing  preacher, we owned more than we probably would need for ten generations. We smiled why fans cheered, took a bow when others screamed their lungs out. Camera lights flashing, paparazzi struggling to get a piece of us. Strive to be better and much more good ...

PRESSURE BURST PIPE

In a bid to live a happy life especially that which we dream of, we most often than not put pressure on ourselves and by extension we put pressure on that one person who love us the most, if not those who care about us … partner, friend or family. It is good to have dreams and ambitions. It is also relatively extremely important we pursue them tenaciously but as we do lets always remember the CAUTION Button so that we wouldn’t have to hit the PANIC Button later on. Very Important and Most Crucial, If we forget anything DON’T FORGET THIS! PRESSURE BURST PIPE!
