Counted

There's this song I know. I think you guys'll know it too. It goes like this

♬   Count your blessings, name them one by one,♬   Count your blessings, see what God hath done!♬   Count your blessings, name them one by one,♬   And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

How many times have you sung this song I wonder? I'm asking myself as i am you, this very question. You see, when you tell someone to count their blessings and see how impossible they are, they go and get you a list of all the cars they've got, lotteries that they won, clothes they bought, job promotions they've earned, you know....all the big stuff. I wonder, how often do we remember that
we also have to count the blessings of clean water? clean air?

Generational Hate

"And she gathered the children of many races into her arms, And said, "Hate dies here — be brothers."
~Harriet Monroe, "America," in Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, December 1918

Triolet 2 - Dear Child

Triolet 2 - Dear Child

Refrain, dear child, from ways perverse –

Reverse, recoil, retreat, recede;

With wrong doers, do not converse.

Refrain, dear child, from ways perverse:

To you, let them become averse...

Unless on shame you wish to feed,

Refrain, dear child, from ways perverse –

Reverse, recoil, retreat, recede.

Judge Me Not

Before It's Too Late

How We Killed The World....

"If you could ask God one question.....what would it be?"

That's the post I saw in Nairaland one day. It's not a new question. Many people have asked the same question before. And many more people still will.

"Why did you create hell?"
