EARLY DROUGHT AND WRATH: Femi Oladele

Sequel, to last Thursday's article, on lateral thinking.

Mighty works he hath wrought; many words he hath spoken.

Why then do I feel there is drought?

HE does mighty things; that is unquestionable.

Why do we take delivery by deliberate action?

Does a father have a need for wrath and/or chastisement?

Even in the eye of the storm, comes the ever challenging drill;

Why are you here?

HE does unspeakable things; and shows it to HIS elect.

Why does HE expect a resounding on rooftops?

After all, we all can get angry and deny ourselves of earthly victuals,

Yet we see HIM place demands through it all.

At the end, when we see HIM, that is if we see HIM.

I have questions that seem like may take forever to answer.

Yet HE chuckles; the answers are in my WORD.

But I retort; I want to hear you say it; I would prefer to wait till then.

HE adamantly insists; isn’t that a repetition? Just let it go…

Now, I see clearly, there was never a drought; yet my wrath made it seem impossible.

My mindset created a veil.

Lift up your heads, O ye Gates…

And I should continue…

And yes, it continues next week Thursday.
Gracias

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1. REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2. DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3. PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches. Branc...
