Losing to Win

Moments back in time, social media was the canker seemingly moulding the world

Now, it is our binding force

We are obliged to digitally bond, nurture and grow together

We used to value less the smiles of family and friends

Now, we crave the smile of strangers

Thanks to the frenemy, the mask

We wish to be alone to emulate the safety protocol

This pandemic requires such an element

Now, it means something critical to be left alone and in isolation

Life is likely to elude us in that state.

Our existence is threatened by a folly

Yet, through its impact, we have realized what it means to exist in essence

Nevertheless, we are everywhere

Our socially distant co-existence is now a global social support network

We are the substance that nurtures life everywhere

We are the beings racing to live free

Free from what is racking havoc through our race

The human race now has a much more brutal common enemy

We had evolved through a series of phases in this life

This phase of life is faceless but forceful

With subtle attacks that leave cracks in the very fibre, we sought to patch

To complete this patchwork, we need all hands on deck

Our story is pragmatic history in passing

We realized that we are obliged to fight together

And we have every millisecond to recreate the narrative

We look forward to winning even as we lose along with this journey

Teamwork will make this dream work

Chessboard

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...

International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) PAX ROMANA,Ghana Federation

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...

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
