SILENT TEARS

Hmm!

Where do I even start from on this?

With just such short words

The symbolic representation

Is big enough to erupt

From the core of the earth

And wipe us beautiful creatures of earth off all at once.

This Silent Tears

Affects some within

And until a death news is heard

That is when the realisation gets blown

That this person was a victim

Of Silent Tears.

It also makes some

Jump into hysterical actions

Like Mount Everest is lifted

And dropped inside the Pacific Ocean

Imagine the Tsunami effect that will occur?

I am very sure all earth will be covered in bodies of water.

Some will move into seclusion

When this Silent Tears wants to start with them

They do not want the world

To witness eruption of Third World War.

Here, others just keep suffering within

And covers their heart as it bleeds

I will commend those in this group

Because they never show it

And never disturb anybody with their issues.

I can go on and on about this Silent Tears. But I want to let you know that we all have this attitude, we all just have different approach to handling this situation.

Here is an advice to us all on how to deal with the anger monster within us. When you can't control your emotions again, when you heard something that will escalate the spirit within you, just hold yourself back, count 1 to 10 before uttering any words. You will notice that anger building up within you as relax and through this method, you will be selecting your words in making a statement.

And to some of us that keeps your words in and not say anything but on the other hand, your health is the one that will be taking the knife stabs. And at the end, your obituary will be announced, why not follow the advice in my last paragraph and not suddenly end your story.

To us that keeps our emotions in check without any human being affected in any way, kudos to us. They are thick skinned.

Let me stop here before anyone that comes across this says this so called writer talks too much.

A VOYEGER'S JOURNEY

On the path

Of the stream of life

The Voyeger caught himself within.

When the river is peaceful

The journey goes smoothly

When the river is furious

The journey gets hard.

Either hot or cold

You just have to keep sailing

No matter how hard it gets.

When you paddle too fast

You will definitely miss

Some life important factors

It is better to move steadily

And not foolishly.

As you are voyaging on

Sail systematically

With wise strategies

So as not to blindly

Crush into an Iceberg

On your way.

Now below the Ocean

There are dangerous Sea animals

So you will not get bitten unknowingly

You have to keep your feet up

And Under constant check.

When you are successful on the sea

Do not allow pride

To over shadow

All the calm sailing

Of the past.

On discovering the new land

You have almost reach your

Successful journey through life

Now their are small small yachts

Trying to Overtake you

And almost creating a sea accident

Then you will have to bring back

Your strategic movement again.

You have seen furious water

You have seen hot water

You have seen iceberg

You have seen shark's and others

Now you have to be bold and confident

On your life sailing

Congratulations

You have successfully

Went through the task of life

Now you have to look back

And guard your seedlings

To have a successful voyaging.

THE END|ERE PARI

THE ART OF WAR

Tearing my skins apart

Ripping my bones about

Shattering our faces

With spores and loop holes

That is the Art of War

We are with LIFE

The Art of War is always designed beautifully. Think about all Wars that you have heard off, it is not only done shooting each other, and bombing each other till the last person or a country surrenders. An Art of War is designed with great technicality but all this beauty in it is all in deceit.

You see, when we were growing up in our different primary, at secondary and tertiary institutions, I must say that we knew nothing then. Some of us took our Education with passion while we others was just doing it with levity. I don't know if they were aware of what Life will dictate.

Concerning our parents then, when they held us in counsel, beating us and discipline us, we didn't know that life's lessons will be harder. And sometimes, we look at ourselves while putting on a worn out jeans, a shirt that sun has blasted it's colors with unmatched pair of bathroom slippers. Then we realise and exclaim "Wow! I didn't know this was what daddy and mummy were drilling down my ears". Ah! Just look at you now living in regrets. Well, I will say it is never too late for you, be it a lady and a guy.

You see, this Nigeria of today isn't as it is back in the days. Or should I even say the world at large has taken many step in retrogression.. But my sister and my brother, wetin Naija dey tell una be say " you better take life serious once you realise that you are responsible or else, Life  will show you how to take things serious at a latter time.

Most of us enter different groups that adds no value  to us. Cultism, Prostitution, Clubs every day of the week, fraudulent acts, drugs, beer parlours and addiction to sex just to mention a few.. There is something I’ve come to realise in life, money that you didn't get with your hard working attitude, can never lead to prosperity. Life will eventually make you sweat to get it.

I’m just worried for the next generation. If life can be this hard for our own generation. Well, the next generation are the ones that I am directing this letter to.

If you are realise  that things are hard to lay hands on, you had better sit up, take things serious and concentrate on getting good grades in school. But if you are still gyrating all over, I bet you, Mr life itself will teach you in an harsh manner.
