MAN UNKIND TO MANKIND

-

(The Sonnet)

Oh Man! Like beautiful rose weaved with thorns
Partly beast partly human; in between he is torn
Two side of a coin spinning good and bad
Rising and falling with mistakes like an indecisive lad
Blowing hot and cold – warmth and hostility
Kind heart a moment –another unwavering rigidity
Oh man! Seems your kindness has falling off the cliff
Taking human life he can not create, restore or give
Oh man! How and when did you get to this?
Wolf in human skin, goat among sheep he is
Oh Man! Before the mirror you do not find yourself
Like a favourite book mysteriously off the shelf
Man now unkind to his fellow mankind without remorse
Killings, blood spills, hate, pain are now what he shares with us!

    The terror unleashed by Man on His fellow mankind is now worse than that of a natural deserter and the Holy Bible confirmed it...the heart on MAN is desperately wicked who can know it...

    Nice writeup.. MR. SETH

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

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
