Favoured Soul



Born just like Leonardo da Vinci.
His star is visible by shepherds on far and near fields.
At his naming were wise men and women with gifts.
Alas!
Same is seen, being led to the gallows of destruction.
Being marshalled by soldiers of his own ignorance.
What deserved him this brutality?

Unachieved dreams being his accusers claimed he committed crimes against his own destiny.
His counsels made up of hope and prayer came in with several appeals but nothing positive came in.

In his own voice he said, Am like a man whose torch is going out in the caves beneath the forest of Balor.
A drowning man clutching onto a straw.
A straw offered by a politician with no certainty of lasting.
I also dreamed the dream of the greats.
But the dream of inclusion has been lost by the reality of illusion.

The lamb at Golgotha.
He still counted on his lawyers till there came a light.
A voice of favour lighted up his candle.
Dancing with it he began, forgetting the pains of yesteryears.
Then wisdom gave him a tap saying,
My son, don't dry your wet wedding clothe over the fire,
Especially when the ceremony has not yet expire.

Until the ship lands, the captain should never cage his focus.
Then the light of his mind rekindled,
And he realized the state of his being.
Peace.

Slaves Again

  Slaves Again Slaves of yesterday Written on their backs with whips was history of their status. Others, with the names which they carried. Rest was a commodity most could barely afford than to deny. But those people were not in the chains of nowadays. Their struggle wasn't with the virtual but the real. Humans against fellow humans and being inhuman. Sailing on the seas to unknown lands Without having the opportunity to see what the other sees till they see another land. But the story is different now. Our history today is written on untouchable parchments.  Our masters being our own creations. Driven by varied addictions, We deny ourselves even an affordable rest. Sailing to unknown lands; Places we may never step our foot upon. Being chained to our detractors bought with our own money. The chains are visible but the breaking is difficult.  Wish generations to come escape this captivity. Oh how can we win war waged against our own selves? By Wise Makafui Afun

Difficulties of Life.

It is the difficulties of life that make it worth living. Without them, there are neither winners nor losers, The first nor the last, The strong nor the weak, The fast nor the dull, The courageous nor the weakling, The rich nor the poor. The difficulties of life exposes the boasting coward. It tells how prepared one is in a chosen field of life; It defferenciates the experienced from the inexperienced, Professional from the novice and the best from the worst. The difficulties of life see only the enduring,patient and courageous sail through to success. Don't think there will come a day when all will ever be equal when the "defferenciator", which is the difficulties of life still exists. So you see the importance of the challenges of life. Therefore, if you want to sail the sea of life to success, Then u have to endure it,be patient and be courageous.  Written by; King Wise Makaphui Afun
