Raining glory

Yesterday it rained gloriously and I was seated in bed, next to the window. I starred at the grey sky and the leaves being relieved of dirt, the air become health and mother earth accepted all of it whole heatedly.
Often times we're too sad, too broken, too tired to see the beauty that dwells right there in the middle of our pain. Yes it's raining now but the rain has washed us by making us stronger, cleaned our eyes for us to see better and mother earth, which is our heart has learned to endure.
My brother who was a cerebia Paltic patient taught me a lot in nine years. I'm using was because he died at the ninth year of his life and I hope he is OK with me always using his story to teach some soft persons a lesson. My brother, Samuel was a gift even in agony, couldn't walk, talk, or chew properly but he never forgot to laugh. He knew the true meaning of joy to the full. He was always in pain and could only see things horizontally because he was always lying down and carried around on chairs that couldn't even hold his neck properly. My brother was broken but bright, he knew when to light up the room even in his greatest pain.
Sometimes the rainy days may take longer than expected, don't just sit around starring at the sky and waiting for a brink of sunlight. Dance in the rain, get washed by the rain and accept all it gives like mother earth. That is patience, a good attitude while waiting. I bet it'll rain again tomorrow, what are you going to be doing?

Orchestration

 You sat amongst your brothers And together, you ate colanut with finely brewed tea The smile on your faces were even But you, I know you. Your heart reeks of spite The type that comes from a reicarnated soul You stare innocently but your eyes speak volumes I see the envy and pride Ripening like pure palm wine, ready to be tapped You hugged your brothers with a snare when no one looked I saw you. You broke the sacred oath your father bestowed I saw you pass a sword through your brother's heart In a foreign land, he bled and died without dignity He was buried in shallow sand like a mad dog Like an outcast who was sent to the evil forest I saw you. In your chamber you gloried Marvelling at your orchestration While you put up a facade of tears amongst brothers You are the thorn underneath flowers I saw you. History has never held a stone up The sun looked at you with fury and disgust Your brother died in a strange land unknown Your corpse will be paraded shamefully in your hometown. C...

Live and let live

1st November 2019 A warm morning at Kurudu. I had a feeling my morning wouldn't be so swirl when I couldn't reach my fellow IT colleague. PS my name is Favour Kosisochukwu Onyejekwe. I recently got accepted at AIT as an Intern. I bet no one would have been more happier than my father! This means he'd stop burning fuel to bring me here only to sit in his car and stare at trees or the ever blue sky. Back to today! I didn't realize Nyanya had more people than the total number of Nigeria as a whole, my goodness! Today I am determined to meet new people. Well, I'm on my way to AYA, in a keke and Mann! this ride has issues. I do hope we get there on time. The traffic in this part of town is something else. I'm still determined to have a great time! I believe that we were never born to face life alone, or else, Adam would have lived without Eve. I realized something priceless today! That people aren't as scary as they seem. I'm building a habit of puttin...

Breakthrough

 From the basket of choices I chose mara in Oblivion I came broken, and without will Even my body gave way in contempt I watched life evolve from a dark place At night I wallowed in pain And in deep ponder,  I questioned my Chi Why have you given me mara? That my limbs refused to aid me My neck wobbled in pain And my head was too heavy You have graced the others With limbs that praise them tirelessly And without pain, they roam in routine While I tarry in the dark I grew on my back  Bracing each passing day horizontally I became too heavy  Pain grew deeper in the process Finally you decide to let me float To reign in light heavenly body Organ by organ, I gave up I left the world with a smile of relief
