COMPOSURE IS CLASS

I wrote this a while ago after I was pretty pissed-off by someone... I remember how upset and infuriated I was. Like the Hulk reincarnated in me... Green fumes clouded the room... Fumes of rage... Haha!

BE PATIENT. EARN HER TRUST

Who has been burned by a woman before? Anybody? No? Well, I have and I can assure you it's not a pretty feeling. You know, sometimes I can swear the words that escape an angry woman's lips are escorted by a thick cloud of smoke because of the heat; especially when it has to do with trust. That not withstanding, one thing I realized is that at the end of the day, many of them mean well... Here's one observation I made:

YOU WANT WISDOM. BUT ARE YOU READY?

If this were a classroom and I, the teacher, and I ask the class, "Who wants to be wise?" I bet all hands will be floating in the air in an instant. But if you knew what it takes to be wise, will half of those hands still be in the air?... I guess not.

FOCUS

I observed that so many of us young people want to be this and that, we want to be like this person or that person. But our ambition overwhelms our minds so much so we barely figure out and stick to the right way in getting where we're headed. In other words, we lose FOCUS of the right path to follow... Well, what are you waiting for? Dive into my thoughts, will you?

YOU ARE MY SWEET MEMORIES

Good memories are so sweet and that's why if they're better than the present, thinking about them can become painful because we can't have them back.

THE UNFORTUNATE REALITY OF MY COUNTRY - NIGERIA

I actually wrote this a while ago, but sadly it still applies even now. Watching the operation of this country is so upsetting and that's why this is probably one of the most abrasive pieces I've ever written, but whatever...

"SEXY LADIES"

Why do so many ladies put on the revealing clothes they wear today? On a real, sometimes I can't believe my eyes when I see what some women have on, especially to church. And it's pretty ironic how naive some of them are to think they'll actually attract good guys by dressing almost half-naked. I've pondered on this and here are my thoughts:

GOD GOTCHU!

We all are going through one problem or the other. And our situations sometimes make life feel like a heavy burden. But it's okay. God got you. No matter how long the raging storm may endure, the sun must surely rise and shine again. So, if you're reading this and are going through one ordeal or the other, I want you to know it is well and you will definitely overcome. And hey, I wrote this poem just for you. Be blessed:

TOTAL HONESTY IN RELATIONSHIPS

I've heard a lot of people say if their partners love them, they won't bother about knowing things that happened in the past. And I've observed that most at times, people who say such things have done some stuff they're ashamed of and want to look for a reason to avoid talking about their past experiences... I thought about it and this is what I came up with:

MAKE THE PAIN YOUR FRIEND

Watch the News and you will find that a lot of people around the globe are going through grave ordeals. And I wondered if it's possible to overcome the overwhelming pain that comes with such predicaments, and if it is, why then do many of us find it so hard to move past the anguish we have endured for so long? This is what I think:

MAKE BAE YOUR BABY!

For all you love birds out there, God gave you a brain for a reason. Think and use your initiative to make your partner feel special. They don't need to always tell you all you need to do. Doing some little things without being told makes the gestures even more special and they won't seem like little things anymore because of the immense impact such actions will have. My thoughts:

RACISM

(This is actually a late post. I wrote it a while ago after watching the shocking murder of Alton Sterling by a policeman in the United States. I'm still posting this piece now because it's still very much relevant:)

DO IT AS UNTO GOD

Have you ever drowned in a depthless river of profound hurt and regret because you showed so much love, care and concern to people undeserving, but instead of being appreciated, you got served a big bowl of disloyalty, betrayal, and contempt? If you have, then this is for you:

FORGIVENESS

A lot of us have been confined to emotional shackles like pitiful prisoners because we've refused to let go and move on. Forgiveness is the key to your freedom:

PATIENCE & TOLERANCE

We live in a very diverse society. And our diversity may bring about conflict among us if we don't have patience and tolerance imbibed in us... I observed certain situations around me and wondered: why are we human beings so intolerant?
