OLD MAN

Sitting in his wooden chair
The old man gazed into the forays of           stars, his chair leaning backwards, legs crossed
Arms rested peacefully on his chest
His mind drifted into the inner circle of his thoughts
Underneath his legs the grass swerve to the tone of the wind
His eyes clinched as his thoughts veiled into the darkest parts of his past
And a slight grinned as those thoughts wandered into pleasant memories.
The sound of the birds screeching
Painted a serene picture of a perfect Night under the stars
Solitude for the old man, brings unrivalled ,tranquility one money can't afford .
But in the midst of solitude he yearns for companionship. The past of his youthfulness still haunts him and now he's paying for it in every penny ,in his old age.
Through does years he lamented
For the panoply of the hay days is gone
In self flagellation he torture himself.
But why torture, when he could live
Life is like a book, every chapter closed,
Can't be re opened.
But for those who tries, it bears operose.
For who opens a dried wound??
Uneasiness lies those who worry,
So much on things they can't change

Old frail and weary, but why worry.

         Live Learn and grow..

2024 Elections And the Rise POPULISM.

In Europe and America, the rise of POPULISM is spreading like wildfire.

And he didn't renege on those promises.  In his first week in the Oval Office, he pulled the U.S. out of the Iran deal, successfully dismantled key parts of Obamacare, and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accord with 150 signatory countries. Just like President Trump, in 2015  President Buhari rode on the same wave of POPULISM to get him...

War

Born infant Her growth stunted No other than herself Wayward and self aggrandize Her pregnant children Never delivers, Those who make it to birth, Dies before christening Perhaps her doctors are docile Her midwives disillusioned Six years to her christening Her sons waged war No external aggressors Just her, herself and her sons Plagued by greed, They exhibits strands of intolerance Clobbering their swords against the, moonless sky. The aroma of gunpowder fills the air Men squealing and snarling as the, ground became greasy with gore Still they wrestle, on their mother' breasts Same breasts they sulked milk from Unperturbed the children plays Albeit with sunken eyes and swollen belly they kick their woollen ball, War songs are now lullabies, the kids recites to bed. In clusters the elders gather, Too old to fight Frail and weary, They wonder about their wounds Indeed sleep as been betrayed, Perhaps so, other than those at war To what end is this,...
