!!!! ATTENTION NEEDED!!!!
Please treat as urgent as possible. The above statement of result is an evidence of my successful graduation from medical school. I am appealing to all your sense of tender compassion and pity. I have been unable to raise money and do my MDCN registration up till now which will be a guarantee for me to collect my license to practice as a doctor of which the induction and oath taking ceremony will take place on the 16th of July. My source of financing has crashed and I have been rendered bankrup...
LIFE CROSSES PATH
Stand, wait, watch and Learn Wisdom. Life is never regulated by our wishes and neither by the wishes of others. Can't you see? Haven't you heard of it? That two rivals would surely come across each other unplanned, crossing paths? I sat, I thought and I observed. Learn from the twist of events and to the least treatment of one another that elapses our memory. Blessings and Curses follow the course. What stands the test of time is how we treated the least of our brethren. For what goes around...
TIMES AND SEASONS
There is time for everything under the heavens. A time to be born and a time to die. A time for this and a time for that. A time for here, now and then. Patience, Patience, patience... Oh man, upon TIME. The Universe does not hurry. Yet everything is accomplished. Patience! There is a time and a season for everything under the heavens. When the cross you bear is so heavy and the shoulder so weary, never give up. Just give into TIME. And it would be Lifted off thy shoulder. #poetry #My2025on...
OF THE MANNER THEY ARE BORN
Of the manner that they are born, so the sons of men align. Of what manner born, So, is their kind. Fluids partake of the physical characteristics properties of their containing vessels in shape volume and pressure of their containing vessels. And partake of the chemical properties of taste, smell and odour of their vessels. So, a man of the characteristic properties of the clime in race, tribe, religion...wherein they are born. So, their genealogy. So, their traits. Be they virtuous or vic...
DREAMS WILL BECOME
Dreams are ideals. And thoughts are things. Dreams are mental moulds, The moulds within which our thoughts fits into like garments fits on the body. All that we were, are and would ever be started from thought and dreaming [persistence of thoughts) gave it the mould and work gave it form. I dreamt that it would be one day, And one day it would be. Dreams become reality, When thoughts become actions. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetr...
ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN
Ask and it shall be given. Knock and it shall be opened. Seek and you shall find. I asked but was not given. I sought but found not. I knocked but it didn't open. Oh God, Thou art a Lost Cause! I thank God for ALL that He has done but more for ALL that He didn't do notheless my ceaseless askings. I asked for death, instead He gave Life. I sought for destruction, instead He gave me preservation. I knocked on the doorway to a chasm, pushing it hard but it was never opened. I was grieved and I...
OF THEIR VERY KIND
Of their very kind, so they bind. After their very kind, so they become a bond. Man is mind. And mind is association. Thus, Like attracts its very Like. And a man, his very kind. Association is becoming. And mind is association. Thus, life is growth. And growth is the process of becoming. Becoming is the very product of our mindset; which is our very association. Thus, growth is the very product of our association. Show me your associates and I will tell you who you are. For Like attracts i...
TRANSFORMING POVERTY INTO POWER
Transforming poverty into power just by the simple word, diligence. Deligence in all you do. One who prays and does not understand the answers to their prayers is an insufferable fool. Look at a worker, hired and poor but all the while shirks from duty. He acts in such indiligent manners to convince his boss to increase his wages. Attracts him more fury upon himself through needless absenteeism. Instead of having much pay, he suffers a pay cut. And much more, a fire. We desire but don't unde...
KNOW THYSELF
Know THYSELF, For true power does not lie in knowing one's strength but in knowing one's weakness. Know THYSELF. The seasons when all is at its best, when little put in and out of place yields bountifully. Know THYSELF. Inorder to minimize strain and maximize success. For even the mind has its times and seasons as none is always sound in mind or all the times moody. Great folly lies in knowing others and neglecting oneself. For true knowledge lies in knowing oneself and true strength in k...
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LOVE
Heal the world, But to transform it through Love. Love, the cord that binds us together; Can transform dragons into lizards, Can freeze blazing flames and quench a wild fire. And hate, can transform Lizards into Dragons and ignite and Kindle fires in the midst of oceans. The same energy that set the families of Romeo and Juliet apart when transmuted can heal the world. The energies in the fury of the nations of the world at war with one another if transmuted can heal our entire human existenc...
GIVE IT YOUR BEST
Give it your best. Give in your best. For the best is not in the moments to come but at this very moment. For strength and beauty doesn't lie in reserve but in giving to work. Reserve be it in quality or quantity when not used is a liability and not an asset. The measure of the results to become is the measure of your inputs. Don't deny yourself the gift of being the very best at the moment. Many lead mediocre lives, not knowing how treasured they are. Put in your best and everything will be ...
TRUE MORTAL LOVE DOESN'T EXIST
If there is a phantom devised in the hearts of men, It's the phantom, "Unconditional Love." Mortality is sensory and moved by senses of sight, taste, hearing... God is LOVE [unconditional]. God is conditionally loved for His Omnipotence to meet our needs. What She says, "True Love", -"I love you"- Is your ability to meet her very needs, And to pay her bills. So it is with mortals. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommuni...
FIGHT TILL THE VERY END
Til the very end, Keep on, Hold on. Failure is not dismissal, but the inability to try again. Many quit too soon not knowing how close they were to success. A craven was found a chest. The Captain's chest. And full of treasure. And thought, had I that hammer made of Ivory which the carpenters, quarriers wield, the treasure would be mine. Striking upon the rock thrice, left, suffering muscle aches. And threw it away, "what a trash!" Then came the wayfarer on horse back. Wi...
I'M FORSAKEN
Forsaken, yet Unshaken. Deserted but not in the desert. Keeping in sight, the light of the morrow. Yet in sorrow. As some moan on the moor. With wicks for weeks. And early morning dew rains on the few left. Forsaken, yet Unshaken. For sorrow is for the night. But the morrow is full of light. Two men looked from prison bars. One saw gold. The other saw mud. The way we perceive things. The way situations influence us. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetryc...
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED
The way of knowledge, UNTRAILED. The road less travelled. Life is mortal, But knowledge is eternal. He who has knowledge shall prolong his life. And they who have it not, shall perish. In knowledge lies hope, strength and Life. For knowledge is light and light is Life. Knowledge is available for all but only a few have it. People trade folly and think to be wise. But a Wiseman becomes foolish to unlearn, learn and relearn. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poe...
THE VOID
Within me, A Void. Of darkness, of light. I wander in wonder. In wandering the vast emptiness, T'was my wondering. I don't know myself, much less Thee. I can't unravel myself, much less Thee. The great vastness, emptiness, -The Soul- Within is Infinite. The mould of the Spirit within, speaks volumes of insight. To condemn, lighten, blot... The still small voice, The Lamp of the soul, to be the guide. The t...
WHO KNOWS THESE AUTHORS?
"Know your Limits, then ignore them." For, "Success is never ending and Failure is never Final." Let go of whatsoever that makes you stop. For "Tough times never last but tough people do." Believe you can. Does it seem impossible? Impossible, I'm possible. An Enemy called average. For, "You are born original, why die a copy? Imitation is Limitation. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #nirclestories #storyteller #quo...
FREE INDEED
Free indeed. To choose, to decide. But yet free. For the cobwebs that entangle. The witch that spells. The prison bars, doors that lock. The shackles and fetters for the feet that binds... I AM! Man is a beast headed for the chasm, without culture, tame, reform. Man is born a barbarian, weird, monster... Only culture and reform redeems him. Free indeed, yet free! The freedom yearned, fought for; so boasted of, Is the ability for the free to chose their very own chains of slavery, shackles, f...
LIFE IS AN EXAM
LIFE, and exam. Theoretical, oral, practical, closed exams, open (book) exams, restricted, take home, multiple choiced exams, short answers exam, Long answer exams, Essay exams, Case study exams... We are the very questions and the very answers. The questions and answers lie in all of us; Our very actions and reactions to... Nature has infinite ways of coming to us to challenge us. To meet needs and to make decisions and choices. LIFE is an exam. We are the very questions and the very answers...
AT WAR WITH ME
Within me, My WILL. At war with me. That old witch, wizard that I fear most is within. All goodness, evil, sin, righteousness...is within. The badluck, misfortune, fortune, luck...is all within. For attitude is everything; Everything thing there was, is and would ever be. Be it of good or of evil, good as well as evil. That witch, spell...is neither an enemy nor a stranger. But the the WILL within is everything. At war with me, My Will. Beware of none other than your very self. For We carry ...
THE SCHOOL OF LIFE
Life is a school. We are the students. The Universe its University. The solar worlds whereon the feet tread, the classrooms. And we are the teachers of one another. The greatest of Teachers, that still small voice that muses, gives the foresight, insight... The very consult to awaken the soul. Every encounter is a moral lesson. From birth and unto death. LIFE is full of moral lessons to be learnt. The school of Life is the conduit for wisdom and awakening. Learning never ends. Life is mortal...
THE GREAT DESIGN
Life is a drama! God is the CREATOR. Our Choices and Decision the Orchestra; the destiny that ushers the preludes, interludes and postludes. LIFE is a drama! The solar systems wheresoever found the stage. And we are the very ARTISTES. The different moments of Life, the Seasons. Various occasions, encounters...the episodes. And everything in person, temperament, circumstances...has a role to play. That's the great design. Nothing is out of purpose. Everything howsoever evil as mispercerceived...
BECOMING IMMORTAL
Thousands of years from now, the bones of our bodies will turn dust. Only our names may remain. What will you be known for? Remember the name to be! For the men who roamed the earth were, are and would ever be. Men who once lived. Of Mice and of Men. That did great things... History reckons... Nature applauds... Humanity acknowledges... These have become immortals. These are the immortals. The ranks are open... The seat are vacant... To thee, enjoin. The likes of Einstein, Edison, Dalton... ...
LET THEM GROW
Let the children grow. The prayer of every parent. And Love encumbers. Too much of care. Spares the rod And Spoils the child. There are parents who overpamper, witholding discipline. Thus, waste every effort they put in place to make their children better off. Children need Space, Time and Patience to let them grow. For it might not happen for your children as you wish because of the trend of opportunities, economic level prevalent, child's temperament and competence. Most adults are childre...
AWAY FROM THE MOB
Stay away from the mob. For the mob is a gang. And a gang is nothing but a big bang where everything [evil] or nothing [good, meaningful] is. Take no pleasure in the idleness of the mob. For idle gatherings never gets beyond gossiping, conspiracy, rumour mongering, slander, ignorance and folly. Even if they are foolish and ignorant none can correct them because strength and power lies in their numbers. The mob has never achieved anything by diplomacy save furore and violence which cause the ch...
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Know the Truth. And the truth which ye know shall set you free. For Knowledge is power. Knowledge is light and light is Life. The Light which shines through the darkness of ignorance. The only punishment for ignorance and folly is bad luck, misfortune, failure and death. If you can't afford to pay the price for knowledge then try ignorance which is cheap and free. Life is short but Knowledge is Eternal. Knowledge of the Law is the eternal salvation of the mortal soul from its struggles. #poe...
THE YEARS OF LIFE
The years of Life, So much, so Little. But impact makes the mark thus, makes it to count. Life is precious so is Time. And Time well spent is great gain. And Life measured in TIME is the value, worth of our existence. Age is just a number. Age is mortal but Life is eternal. What will you be known for? After our sojourn and work on earth is over. It's not the years of Life that counts. It's the Life of our years that counts. It's not the number of years lived that matters But the Life Lived...
LIFE IS VARIETY
Life is a variety. Life is about nothing. And everything is. That's the harmony. That's the balance. Life is a variety and we are the assortments. The good, the bad, the ugly, the tall, the short... are the very balance and harmony. ALL that was, is and would ever be is integral in the Divine scheme and harmony howsoever our individual valuation deem it as good, bad, evil... If Life is about one thing, then everything would be monotonous. If Life is about two things only, then LIFE itself wou...
ECHOES OF THE DIVINE
Creation Sings forth The Universe its conduit Nature orchestrates. Echoes of the Divine. The very Song of God. His image and likenesses the very hymns and choruses. The circumstances of life the rhythm. The times and seasons the chord and harmony of this music. Formless yet the very form. Voiceless yet echoes through ALL. The still small voice that muses; the fount of strength, courage, knowledge, wisdom. From where life begins and shall end. To thee, all that is mortal go! Echoes of the Div...
DEATH
So sudden. Like a thief in the night. Like a predator lurks in ambush and snatches its prey. Nature grieves its lost treasures. Humanity mourns. The cycle of birth and death howsoever untimely is natural. We knew not when born and so we know not when to die. We live as if we will never die. And die as if we never lived. #poetry #My2024onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #nirclestories #storyteller #quoteoftheday #followme @philism
THE BEAUTY OF PEOPLE
Life is precious and its people are full of beauty. Every moment is precious so, make it count because it might be your last. Time is precious. And Life is beautiful. Time is precious and every elapse of its moment(s) meaningful. People are full of surprises and that's the beauty. Thus, Life is full of uncertainties. Ordinary people do extraordinary things thus, lead transforming and impactful lives at any moment. That's the uncertainty of Life. And that's the beauty of People! #Poetry #My...
WHAT IF...
What if... The fairlyland of the dreamer... In which all things are out of place and let to chance. A pantheon of confusion, he who is presumptuous. An examplar of indecision, inaction. Even of the natural world, the reality of life they deliberate, question; sitting still. Of race, what if I am white... Of gender, what if I am... Of religion, what if I am... They take pleasure in the privileges they hold above others and thank the vicissitudes of chance why they are not the opposite of what...
IT CAN'T BE DONE?
Believe it's possible! Believe you can! Believe it can be done! It can't be done. So they say in all boastfulness. But same, even more is done that they know not of. Even if they know, they downplay it this, making all efforts and achievements of others trivial. They find excuses why they and others of their kind can't do it or make it happen. Even if it becomes ordinary, what seems extraordinarily, they find lapses to condemn, annul. Their world is full of obstacles, so they see it through th...
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Rate the intensive over the extensive. For nature's treasures lies hidden in quality than quantity. Some judge books by their covers and men by their faces and physique. And many chase quantity neglecting quality. Some judge books by their sizes as if they were written for the gymnasium and not for the mind. And the giants of men are true pygmies; dwarves in virtue and potential. For mass in anything demean the value thus, makes it cheap. There is More than meets the eye. Not all that glitte...
NOW
Time waits for no one! Are you waiting for your time? Act now! For better late than never! Are you holding on past worries, pain.. Act now Let go! The Universe doesn't stop. So, don't get stuck in the past. Life keeps going non stop. So, Let go or you will be left behind. #Poetry #Poetrychapbook #Poetrycontest #Hellonircle #Nirclestories #Quoteoftheday #My2024onNircle #followme #nircleblogpost @philism
DIE HARD
No retreat, no surrender! No winner, no vanquish! Success to become... Is a deliberate resolve. Life is not at ease! The path of least resistance is the comfort Zone; The abode of the slothful, the graveyard of the less ambitious. Get out of the comfort zone. Let circumstances never find you the same way after every encounter. Beat no retreat to surrender. Die hard either to victory or to defeat, success or to failure. Let difficulties, tough times know that you too are difficult and tough.....
NOW OR NEVER
DO IT! Now or never..! Better late than never! The Time is now! Today is the future long hoped for. Tomorrow is an illusion. It is always coming but never arriving. Where is tomorrow? But today unmanifest But today yet to become. Now or never. He who thinks of tomorrow neglects the bliss of today which is all manifold works and humanity made manifest. Now or never! The future is most often thought of such that the present is absolutely neglected. Now or never! Become it now! Do it today; h...
IF AND ONLY IF...
If and only if... The undoing of lesser men; men of feeble minds. If and only if I was born in a rich family, then... If and only if I went to high school, the... If and only if I am... But here am I... If wishes were horses, then all would have it to ride on. Start where you are! Forget the IF'S that put us to bed when others are awake. If you don't have all you need, all you need is just all that you have and all you have is all that you need. Don't let your troubles break you while you ...
TALES OF MOONLIGHT
We played, we sang, we danced... In the moonlight. As if the day will not break again. Yet the dawn was at our doorsteps. As if we never had a night. Moonlight light made the night day. And the dark clouds of the day made us indoors like the night. We longed for moonlight never to go and the night to last forever. As if the day was the night and the night the day. We reserved every activity for the night. Guess what, The night seemed shorter and the day seemed longer not because it's so beca...
THE PATH OF LIFE
The path of life... of pain and sorrow. of joy and happiness. The path of life... of success and triumph. of woe and defeat. The path of life... of space time. of time and chance. The battles of life neither go nor are won but the strongest... Neither the races so run of mice and of men are won by the smartest nor swiftest... The path of life... is full of surprises. Of uncertainty, pain and constant work. The well educated, trained are not always the mos...
