Someday....

Future, where are you?

How far are you from me?

Which planet can I find you on?

Do you live in a palace in a strange land with beautiful and hardworking servants?

Oh, when would you come to me?

Or should I hope for an invitation notice?

With my finest clothes, I shall honour your invite if I receive one

For I wish to dine at your table if you are a King

Thinking about the next step to take,

I will pray to the Lord to protect and preserve you for me until we meet.

I always dream about you

Yet your image is blurry anytime I draw nigh

So, hear these words of mine 'I still have faith that I will see you'

Anytime we sit by the fireside I begin to smile

My elders always tell a story about how bright you are.

It is always interesting to listen to your stories and wish that they would never end.

Then my elders say, we shall continue next time.

They tell me that you await me in the unknown world.

Patiently I will wait for you,

My elders say to me, strive to be the best you can.

For that is the only clue to finding you

I wish to see you anytime soon

When I critically analyze the stories, you and I are the only characters

We bring meaning to their fairy tales

But with only you in the story then it’s just a myth

The wonderful playwright had us in mind



And so, we shall live happily ever after.....

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...

PEN

This isn’t an acronym. It is a powerful tool. It is blunt but has altered the patterns of history with unequivocal writing success. It has survived all the defining moments through the centuries Ranging from the early reed, quills, and dip pens to the contemporary ballpoint, fountain, and felt pens. History has it that, all users demand a special pen based on the pending purpose of use There is this status symbol attached to any kind of pen that has ever been manufactured. M. Klein and H. W. Wynne had received a US patent for the fountain in 1867. But as early as the 10 th century, the pen had existed.  And until this day, it has metamorphosed through many phases and designs. One of my favourites and most used pen from the 20 th to this century has been Michaels Bich’s Bic pen that was invented in the 1950s. It is simply elegant and mighty. The sword could see itself sharp but the pen is supreme. Talk of brainstorming sessions that led to generati...

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...
