PROJECT TWINKLE : YOU ARE SOMEONE'S SHINING STAR

I stretch my finger in accusation at an acquaintance.

Why look down on people of low estate,

Why cringe at the mention of areas perceived as slum in the metropolis,

How dare You! Why won’t you do something?

So wealth is fearful of the masses, that’s why it resides only in your bosom,

May I ask to partake of the crumbs that roll off your table?

It is no value to you but your cast off makes tomorrow bearable for one like me.

I am deficient now don’t mean my future isn’t shining like the twinkle star,

Even when I wonder what I am now,

One day I might convince myself that despite dirty rags that now clings my skin,

And growling stomach about to devour its neighborly intestines and liver as food,

I may just believe that I am that diamond in the sky.

But now I need help to stay the dripping faucet that calls itself my shelter,

The holes in my tent are like observatory I often gaze the heavens, waiting!

Hoping that I am not forgotten here in the cold or baked by the scathing sun,

Maybe today I may receive a miracle from an unfamiliar hand.

Like Joseph, I may be called by a Good Samaritan to meet with royalty,

Then I can trade the rags for warmth, and eat a morsel to save my entrails.

Who knows, maybe someone will make life a bit better than it is right now.

It may even be you.

COMFORT

Lord I tried, Sometimes it is hard to stop, breathe and live. Cares of this world shifts my gaze, Uncertainties sway me, The struggle for sustenance, what to clothe with, And the hassles to acquire abundance distress my days, As if my whole existence offered just these. I lay down but worries outrun me, What will the outcome of my life be? I crave the highest of achievements, Oh, how I desire great influence. I fear my peers will fare better than I, Judging myself with another who is different on his own course, Vanity exhausts my days, anxiety wrinkles me. Your percepts demands actions, So why do I nothing with that which you have spoken, But concern myself with besetting weights? I heap up substance for fear of lack, But shortage bangs my door like a friend in the morning. I deliberate your instructions, but I follow distractions which drives me aground. My Lord, My God, Forgive me fo...

NIGERIA RESOURCES - OLD PEOPLE

‘’All these old people no dey hear word, government even suppose create new law wen go make old person dey inside house, if dem dey cross express or beg make police catch them go back to their house’’ I hear as a bus driver angrily shouts at a stunned elderly woman they had just pulled from beneath a car right in front of me. Ok let’s start at the beginning. If you are familiar with crossing crowd at both sides of Second Rainbow –Mile 2 bus stops in Lagos then you must understand how wild it usually is. This morning I needed to get to CMS so I crossed the express towards the free service lane where I catwalk to the bus park. But, before I could take the last step I heard a screech and few paces away is this elderly woman being pulled from under the same car. Where had she come from so fast? She wasn’t hurt but had to sit out the shock on the dividing pavement. So, what if there is reason to ensuring elderly people are safe at home and not under car tires as the man suggested. ...
