Please world, kindly do NOT forget…
That the girls abducted from their beds
In their school dormitories while they slept
At night in Nigeria, taken from their dreams and hopes
Cast into a jungle of despair
Have not yet been returned to their families.
Please do not forget them.
Thank you for caring.

I am overwhelmed by your grace, oh Lord
For your mercy consumes my soul with joy.
You have constantly been attendant to my cries
And you have heard my silent weeping in the night.
Although, errant are my ways from your righteousness
Even yet, thy favour present and sudden embrace me.
Amid all the cares of this great universe under your charge
You in mercy incline thine ear unto my pleas, and in the
Abundance of thy healing power with blessings surround
My being, despite myself and despite my sins.
You with your faithfulness, cease not to part the
Red seas of my life, and with thy angels land me safely
On the promised side, according to your time and will, in awe,
My mortal frames acknowledges thy wondrous supremacy
And that through all life, thou are more than sufficient unto me.
Rejoice oh my soul, for the Lord of all creation, has in
Faithful covenant, manifest yet again, His love for me.
Blessed be the name of my God, the Almighty Jehovah
Ever present, mighty and ever victorious on the battlefield.
All praise, glory and thanksgiving be yours, my King
Forever and through the ageless age of eternity.

Have you awoken your dreams lately, and beckoned
Intently to arouse them from their often slumber deep, to
Transform them from the somnolent stage to tenacious form
If not, the hour has but urgently dawned …
To have a forthright conversation with those dreams
Towards, claiming the full potential of their promise,
Stirring them beyond the dormancy of prolonged vagueness,
Henceforth, employing diligent measure, to invest in active industry
To crystallize the reality of resolute and tangible propulsion,
And earnestly, cause them to yield on your behalf, actual dividend.

Indeed, the night is not over till the morning dawns,
Neither, the day complete till its ebbing moments set
And transform into the twilight that descends, and thence
The cycle ensues, for the darkness will yield yet again to light.
Therefore, the entirety of time, doth afford us, but many
Chances to maximize the full potential of opportunities
That present, even if be, that they simply seem to offer
Just, the ability to recognize and embrace the gift of time,
And then within the scope of the continuous sequence, pledge
To decidedly employ its span to our enduring advantage.
Never Give Up!

Is lasting global peace an intangible imagination
Has it escaped from the grace of earnest promise.
Does it fall through outstretched hands as porous sand
And now assume the solitude of illusion’s barren frame.
Will children forever be ensnared by its anguish deep
And widows wear the sackcloth of ritual lamentation
Over the fatal disintegration of treasured family bonds,
While fatigued fathers curse the endurance of combat.
Will we constantly live with the presence and news of wars
Where the presence of tranquility simply disintegrates into
The strife of bombardment and the barrage of conflict, to
Eclipse the sincere hope of reassuring and lasting concord.
Will the chapters of existence, but only hence sadly recite, the
Steady accompaniment of tragedy and death with hostilities,
As the frequency of catastrophic battle adopts the constancy of time
That all then lie conquered under the flag of helpless surrender.
Has humanity failed in its obligation to avert this course
And will limb, life and blood line the paths to no escape
Where there is no refuge from the ghoulish nightmares
That torture the captive and the apparent free likewise.
Slumber not, ye responsibility of humanity, amid the carnage
Allowing battle’s transgression to perpetuate its will, till harmony
In capitulation hath no recourse, when all cataclysmic occurs
Living none to truly attend to the reconciliation of harmony.

Refrain from courting the seductive enticement
Of the dastardly but evidently harmful trap,
For attendant to and within the darkness of the pit
Lie ills of ruinous and horrendous proportion.
Although alluring it may appear, as it beckons
With the tantalizing aroma of feigned attraction,
Endeavour not to accept its deceptive invitation
Wherein disaster of certain takes sure habitation.
Rather, with resolve, listen and follow ardently
Wisdom’s refrain, and pursue ye so earnestly
The alternative promise of hope’s true reality,
And that which is patently of responsible order.
For even though it, may emerge and fully unfold
Only whence its dawning is but timely and due, the
Persisting triumph, over that ominous snare, which
Loomed so treacherously to derail the benign spirit,
Will multiple the reward of faithful patience, and
Coupled with the bounty of a virtuous promise,
Justify the endurance that directed your upright steps
And sustained your days along the propitious course.

We are all elements within the greater cause.
Therefore, we must seek and find our roles
And points of positive connection with others,
Towards the dignified respect of, and certainly
For the advancement of the cause of humanity.
Your actions count!

Falling is not failure …
Nay failure, is failing to stand up after the fall
To transcend the challenge with renewed courage,
Or failing to embrace the promise of opportunities
That before one with the bounty of inspiration appear,
And decidedly, ignoring the echoes of encouragement
Seeking to persuade the aching spirit, but rather
Assuming the tangled cloak of woe and utter misery
To wallow in the comfort of abject helplessness to the
Grand disillusionment of the propulsion of hope itself.
Tis then, failure multiplies in its fullest dimension
Poised to overwhelm those that elect to court it nonetheless.

Now that with expectancy we bid welcome to 2014
And resolve with determination to seek and embrace
Our portion of the bountiful promise amid this new year,
Let us not in hasty abandon cast into oblivion the passage of 2013.
For it, likewise came upon us as a new beginning of possibilities and hope.
And though, its moments have forever dissipated into the tunnel of existence.
Yet, within that past, that seems to fade deeply into the recesses of time
Truly elusive, lies unchanging the peaks and valleys of life’s previous course
Traversed within then concrete space, transforming into earned experience
To anchor our future paths with enriched knowledge and cultivated wisdom.
Thus as the new commences, forget ye not the instructive lessons of old
Rather, in its totality, let that year’s long journey, like others past, always
Guide future contemplation and choice towards the bounty embedded
Within the renewed cycle of prospects and horizons of the evolving year.
Thank you 2013.
