The yonder call,
from this under ball
though bustling with activities
In the community of services,
Always a roll to call
And always a role to play
Everyone in the business,
of busy-ness or busy-less!
be it the Lazy ones
or the diligent souls
or in between the scale of labour,
it is a must, all the participant of this earth
Must, A must to do,
A must to give attention to,
Always supervised by the “Deadline clock”
thus, everyone running the
Insensitive busyness
or the necessity business!
Yet someone, or some group at a time
Or the other
Must from this under ball called “Earth”
Received the yonder call
“Come home ,my child”
Or to some, its an eternal interruption,
A summon, “it’s time, come”
And to some, “Its enough”
Drop your life’s pen,
The examination is over!
Visions though protesting,
Dreams may be contesting
by those who thought they have more to do
or someone who feels it’s not fair!
But its’ over, the time stamped.
Pages may flip, for yet
To be written story
And ink, sing vividly still strong.
Clearer and better!
But its’ done
Come home,
or come yonder,
Give account!

When the certain, “Death”
Diligently walks in
And picks an individual
may be based on the schedule,
Choices and circumstances,
Death may lack no convincing reason
To justify his assignment
When executed.
however,
Some will be medically framed
And some by accident claimed!
At each season,
There are categories of people
The literate or illiterate
Elderly or young
Poor or rich
Man or woman
Death lacks the sympathy
Nor does he yield
To the blackmail!
when the call is heeded reluctantly
and deliberately,
the earth keeps its rotation
and revolve round
to fulfill its duties!
there will be the adjustment
the gap somehow will be filled!
the role some how will be taken over!
good, better or none of this,
the rotation or revolving keeps the cycle!
Fame and relevance are too weak
To order the earth a stop.
Those who wish
the earth should match a break
At their demise
are edging their minds on fantasy
And if such wish is granted,
They will not have a burial nor furneral!
But everything keeps rolling,
Everywhere witness activities
Even the graveyard is not idle
Nor the house of the mighty
Deprived of activities!
Though painful
But there must be plans
for the dead must bury their dead!

Some profess the power
while some possess it!
Some Process it,
Some desperately preserve it.
To them it’s an asset, a treasure
valuable to access opportunities,
anchor privileges
and sustain network of influence.
it could be pursued to the battle field
and war can be launched
or a defiance post stolidly initiated,
The rain shall commence a war
stopping it now is an error
continue prosecuting the war is an error
it shall inflict pains
and it shall be inflicted with Pains!
divisions and diversion
shall be granted as gains.
Where is God’s agenda
while reigning is the blunders of human!
deception’s prowess
lies and lying
oppressions from the palaces
likewise, in the ghettos
greed is ruthless,
selfishness is callous,
deceptions fake good virtues
while internally and ultimately project
the ulterior and take advantage of the Gullible!
foolishness takes various forms,
sometimes dressed in the robe of wisdom!
Moved ahead a little.
Move backward at large!
a great potential,
The land is rich with treasures
within these treasures are great powers,
great latent authority.
if explored rightly.
must be deployed rightly!
Keep the tunnel process
grievance and grief.
he is at war with everybody
and blame everyone
except himself.
a person at war with everyone
is first at war with himself.
Until he initiates the peace within
with himself first,
he cannot have one with his neighbour
nor can he enjoy the peace desired.
when he is a terror to all,
All shall dream and plot his horror!
Those who are conscious of power
grow desperate when they are about to lose it!
they can be dangerous
when the leverage of power is slipping of the hand.
Kingdom rise, kingdom falls
the cause of fall of any system,
is not far from the system.
the demise of any great nation
is first installed within her
and allowed to self-activate
at the appropriate condition.

A king is not made by the crown,
nor the throne determines the magnitude of the
kingdom.
The citizen is the strength of a nation
if they are sincerely loyal to her course.
where gift, gains, and glory pivot loyalty
the highest bidder shall win them over
and shall raise congregation of betrayals!
cruelty is an affliction of injustice
it does embolden fears,
but does not create a lasting deterrence
where frustration is activated
at the climax of the degree
the shackles of fear shall fail!
Frustration does not collaborate with hope
it most likely will be accompanied
by depression!

The crown and the crowd
connects at the hills of fame!
The crowd’s praise empowers
the palace
but their revolt is a great threat
to the throne!
Though many are people called crowd
the Palace solutions’
depends on the few!
There is always calls to heed
by the thrones
since there are always problems
to solve in the palaces!
There is always king’s visions and dreams
that troubles his minds
from dusk to the dawn!
The threats that need to be tamed,
provisions to sustain,
the law to make
and implements,
The advancement to
catch up with!
As guided as the throne is,
it is easily surrounded by deceptions
when the princes choose lies
above the truth
and
normalize hypocrisies!
Patience is not most time a luxure
in The Palace
Diligent thrones
can not accommodate laxities
nor a trouble thrones
depends on unending promises!
They will ignite the king’s wrath
and may be disastrous
to the peddler!
The palace is some people’s business
They can do anything
to take advantage of the king!
some do not need the throne’s name
they just need him, the king, vulnerable
to pursue their agenda!
Such must have mastered
Flattering prudently
by which they rub the throne of the truth!


The power ball rolls and take varieties of shapes
it does appear as a flattened shape,
easy roll through,
however quickly changes as
conditions prevail.
Power is a formidable emperor
that has learnt to submit to its subjects
while it takes it controls subtilty,
when it, the power grows!
it often maintains it spherical shapes;
his custodians may handle it for a while
but as it grows,
the ball of power becomes bigger
its handler can no longer handle it
not curtail it wildness!
Collaborative effort may do a better control:
keeping power by more than a person or group
power sharing is a good way of preserving
growing power!
but greed attempt to monopolise
the sphere of power,
it shall rebel violently and callously!
A team’s greediness
shall activate wickedness
most especially
when scared of power slipping off the hand


Why is there so much wickedness
in this under, called earth!
indeed, the heart of humanity is greatly wicked”
it could take length of days and years
to unravel the wickedness
conceived in the hidden part of the mind!
some are still in the investigation of frustration
in the ranks of wickedness, are the forces
with commander and general of cruelty,
in the departments of Greed!

“Work hard, that is the key to success”
he was advised.
success is not cheap
neither does achieving It equally required
a grave venture!
diligence is smarter than hard work
Everyone who gives up their bones
does not necessarily have strength.
Some were tutored by ignorance
some are negligent enough
to consume failures!
they labour for rigour
but a diligent one
with the privilege of favour
is often considered wise!

Our root matters greatly.
By this many select
their roads, role and responsibilities.
He that is always susceptions of others
Cultivate a snare, Snare of fear!
He is self-sabotaging his glories
Check within the mind,
at least a default trust is always needed to
live each day.
Else the world will be
composed isolation!
He believes everyone will plot his failures;
but, has he engaged in the act previously!
He painted everybody bad except himself,
secure the scarce king’s favour and attention,
He used the privileges of the kings to oppress others
and polish his relevance in the palace
that is his currency!
he set up a bullying gang!
No one from his domain deserve the king’s favours
Except he is the channels,
creating the protection of deceptions,
But the King fell for it!
The riddle of predator and the prey,
yet the king thought he serve his interest
but he is executing his agenda!

On the pinnacle
lift the global risk
emerging from the accumulation of personal risk
with the addition of collective risk!
negotiating through these
minor and major danger
requires sensible wit.
for different tactics
are employed and deployed
on the negotiating table.
Few engages with wisdom
many appoints coarse and deception
various proportion.

success has varying versions of definitions!
Prosperities are not measured equally.
Different wisdom and understanding
defines many
attainment!
What is your goal!
worthy or not, once attained, it is to such a success
cruelty may be celebrated
wickedness may be propagated
blood may be shed
lives may be sniffed of hope
and the perpetrators
congregate in celebration!
where is God’s will in this!
Until then!
to those who have godly success
attaining the Height
maintain the height
with growing gears
requires a lot of help and grace
That Only God
our Sustenance can give!
