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 10th 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 20th 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 generational transformation,
The pen inked it.
In the hands of its bearer, though inanimate it is obedient.
The faithfulness of the pen is gobsmacking.
If properly put to good use, it could preserve the life of several citizens.
That's because it bleeds,
And blood fuels the progression of life.

Most importantly, life is precious and lovely

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...

Until death beckons

Life and death the inseparable pair In the former, all is fair Beyond the latter, we despair Ironically, some think otherwise The former and latter each happen once Whether fair or despair, we exist to pay the price From cradle to grave We live, both the fainthearted and the brave Life and death are a must  Move on, Press on, Live on Rise up and grind hard Take that bold step Be carefree, fear no mistakes Be grateful, stay faithful Growth fruitful, live happily Forgiving and Believing We may live long but we die in a dash Then everything will disappear in a flash Smile when you can and blush if need be Let's share the laughter Before dreams shatter And we don't matter anymore Hence, let our today matter more We have much, so life and death expect much in equal measure. Until death beckons, be life's beacon! Credit: Etsy

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...
