The 21st Memo

To whom it might concern,


You can be mighty in your right

Yet you are left with nothing but your conscience

Your life is much more valuable than a #hashtag

Though it's now woven into the fibre of every 21st-century being's thumb

You are may have access to the window but not the front door

Your accounts are controlled at the backend by a stranger

Humble yourself because your digital handle has no door

You are worth every cell fighting for your survival 

Not every cell ready to impede your survival 

Fact is, you have done all the surviving

Your brain and heart have never taken a break since your inception

Just pause, breathe and acknowledge that this is remarkable

So just in case, you intend to give up or mess up, remember they trust your next move

Take turns to tell your stories in tens, a decade elapses like a minute

You will account for every move and decision you make

You do not need to make up but wake up from your slumber

Time is running out, better follow it because  you already know, 

Time waits for no man, not even for women 

The clock is wise, it backs up your memories as it keeps moving forwards

While you are busy making meaning out of this life, its wheels are running at an unimaginable momentum.

This life isn't a cassette; no rewinds 

Let's think wise not twice or thrice

We shall live but once

We shall survive another day

Another Sunrise, another Sunset and then we move

May the path lead right because your hope never left

You are a promise, maybe a wish but all in one, you are Human too

You matter more and every space needs goodness 

Cruise, even in your pain, occupy and make exploits

I am enough, you are worth writing to


Accept my ink to keep you afloat through this life.


Signed: Me

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...

Thoughts of a toddler

I am a toddler Nothing I know matters Only my tears, whether crocodile or human, has influence And I will cry my lungs out until my wish is granted  That's their command My heart will passionately be on standby, just in case I need reinforcement At least, it will cleanse my system and keep me healthy I am a toddler with giant steps It will not take long for me to arrive safely into adulthood I can't skip my teenage years either If I get the chance, I will only catch a glimpse of my teen days and return to being a toddler So to my kinsmen, kindly prepare your speeches I can sense only the title has a pleasant feeling The rest are bitter pills but I am not sick too I don't want to choke Please don't proceed with those long speeches about life  I know that when I grow up I'll swallow the pills anyway But I am nurturing my courage  I am making attempts to stand on those tender feet They will be as fit as a fiddle  And that will lead me on I'll ...
