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!

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O ₂ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...
