The Falling Parading Angels by BIODUN ABIOYE


Domino Effect?
Ripple Effect?
'All boring mechanical engineering stuff' I suppose...but on the parade ground it became more practical, than ever.                       
Harsh soldiers I suppose?

Brittle corps you guess?

But it all pointed to just one fact; feeble minds who just wanted a space in the pavilion!         

Just an hour of parade, though tiredness was clearly registered on the faces of members of the group, not one person fell to the ground.

One case too genuine, she fainted.

'That's some strong guy' the group murmured as he carried her out of the ground for the application of first aid. He wasn't a samaritan but a fellow corps member.     

Little wonder my mind was ringing 'If you fall in front of me, we'd fall together, No time'.

Buoyed by the surpassing event, almost every lady parading was left with some 'Ashley young' esque (Manchester United fans should understand this better) and every guy with some energized biceps; excluding me though; as I wanted to fall too.

They've all seen something.     
 
 You see, if you don't want the reality of a couple of events, all you must do is to prevent the first from happening!                                                             
 Finally the parade was over, but backtrack 15 minutes.

In one word, Horror!!!!

Not fewer than 15 girls were carried out, at an average of 1 per minute; of course I wouldn’t add the guys who were ignored on the floor  (hahahahaha).       
             
Fast-forward to the next 3 hours… HOT SUN, NO FAINTING!!

In one word 'Killing'!!!

The next parade session was tough, the soldiers had been taken for granted!

Obviously the previous was just the state of the mind enveloped by sight. 
         
Simply put, if you don't want it to be read; don't write it,

Not to be repeated? Then don't say it,

Not to be seen? Hide it;

For yours, might be worse than that of the FALLING PARADING ANGELS!

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

Labour/ birthing of dreams has three main phases, to view the 1st Stage and what it is correlated with, please check LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING . Thank you. STAGE 2: This is the stage of labour that begins from the full dilatation of the cervical os (10cm) till the baby is delivered.

#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...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
