Birthing Emeralds
An original Piece by Apoetsbrain ©
One great man was mocked because of his lifelong efforts to bring about peace in his community.
This man worked, strived, suffered and later died for peace.
He will be seen as a peace maker, the reconciler, the forgiver of many many wrongs.
He welcomed generosity, and begged that each man care for his neighbor. Continue reading Birthing Emeralds
A New Calling
Written and composed by: Destina Godwin Ekekeh ©
On a fizzy cold day, while taking my conventional morning ride,
Cycling down the usual path at a speed faster than the speed of light,
The seemingly unending lane with trees and leaves cascading through,
With the constant quiet and lonely pace,
Left with my wildest imagination, Continue reading A New Calling

Some amazing and some sad
Earnestly waiting for the day I will start compiling mine
Society’s Kiss
“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”
~ Susan Sontag

Time
“Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and I am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
~ Bruce Lee

A Write-up by Sandra Chukwudumebi Obiora ©

Sometimes, the loudest voices of derogation, or the most demotivating of expressions do not come from without, but from within. Continue reading The Loudest Voices of Discouragement
Deception
Written by Sandra C. Bamisile ©
Beloved, you are being deceived.
You cannot see it. Neither can you tell why.
The one beside you right now, despises you.
The illusion is that they care. But they do not. Continue reading Deception

One day, you’ll get a drink and dive
into its contents by twisting and turning
that which very much makes it protected.
A sip, then a gulp and you’re done with it.

Sometimes
“Sometimes, all it takes is a little more strength, a little more courage, a little more interest, a little more determination. Not a lot more, just a tiny bit more than you had before to make it through, and suffer no regrets.”

Prayer
” Prayer is something extraordinary that the ordinary man can achieve. It is something done out of the abundance of belief. It is that cry of the heart for itself as it makes a connection to it’s originator.”

[Verse 1]
I have come to this place in my life

You already know this but still
Come and do whatever You want to. Continue reading Lyrics of the Month #1
