Depression!


Depression!

Oh! Heaven save

my disturbed soul,

deliver my troubled

soul from hades,

lift burden off

my heart, and

heavy yoke from

head without

a carrier pad.

 Image result for depression

Depression makes me

empty,

life interest me no

more,

hope before me

seems hopeless.



Anxiety rules over

unsettled today,

disquietude makes

tomorrow uncertain.

Depression-

many are your strings,

deadly whenever pulled-

many are your

hurtful arrows,

arrow of sadness,

fusillade of anger

overactive missile,

burst of rage,

gall in place calmness.



Placidity lost,

withdrawal takes place

of vivaciousness;

guilty conscience replaces

clean and calm heart,

aches, pain, and insomnia

all day long in body’s temple.

Depression-no one is

immune from your

anger-

women-you turn to

workshop,

men-you harass every day,

children-you show no pity.



Depression! Depression!

Depression!

Distress me no more,

demoralize me no more,

dishearten me no more,

deject me no more,

dispirit me no more,

dismal me no more,

dingy, dark, dreary, and

drab-me no more.

Depression-

wanna be free from

making letter “D”

unfriendly.











More than 350 million people suffer from depression worldwide, annually, United States records 3 million new cases of depression annually; in fact, the number could be higher than projected, if one considers nations, where data are not reliable or not available.




Regardless, depression-a depressive disorder that affects mind, which in turn interferes with daily activities of working, sleeping, studying, and eating-activities-man derives joy have become a global scourge.




Advancement in medicine has not offered permanent solution, because causes of depression are multi-faceted.




As we empathize with people suffering from depression, so too, we share the pains and aches of family members, caregivers, medical personnel, therapists/wellness, psychologists, and social service workers.




We thank you for your service to HUMANITY.




This work is DEDICATED to people suffering from DEPRESSION.

WATER.


Water.

Enemy-I do not have-

multi-purpose-role,

I play to,

sustain life,

keep life,

nurture life, and

preserve life.

 Image result for water

Environment,

I make clean,

trees-I nourish-

rocks and mountains,

I thermo cool,

vegetation in the field,

I give life,

plants I support.



Animals

I keep alive,

generation after

generation,

I haven’t changed.



Through rainfall,

I give water,

by means of rivers,

home faucets never

stop running,

from lakes and dams

I irrigate arid lands.

 

Oceans and seas,

I desalinate to give

water to mankind,

irrigation from me

keep farming alive,

wealth in my bosom

make man rich.



Why is humanity

unkind to me?

Oceans and seas-

he turns dumping grounds,

rivers have become carriers

of industrial effluents.

 Image result for garbage at sea photos

Air and land pollutions

produce acid rain,

greed continues to shrink

lakes-major source of world

fresh waters.



Love shown over centuries,

humans return with evil,

kindness displayed for

millennia,

mankind repay with

ingratitude.



Instead of thanks-

rebuke-I receive,

rather than mutual

respect,

big brother-

humans have become.  



Regardless, I’ll be kind,

nonetheless,

I’ll continue to

serve humanity,

come what-my roles

I’ll perform-

anyhow,

I’ll make humanity

happy.



In any case by anyway,

I’ll not fail in my duty,

even so, man may

continue with destructive

act,

I’ll remain loyal,

still and all-propriety,

decency, and rectitude-

shall be my way-of-life.

A Wife!



A Wife! 

A Home Front Warrior: 

She holds the forth for her

husband when absent,

she defends and upholds his

principles at all times,

extra miles she goes every time

for the sake of her household.

 Related image


Her support knows no bounds,

her loyalty is without question,

like bulwark she acts in times of

trouble;

from background

she launches survival missiles and,

from behind-the-scene

she carries her good cause

to public square to defend

what she cherishes most-

her household.


A True and Loyal

Companion: 

A good mind reader

who knows every household’s

thought,

with simple eye contact

she interprets messages with

correctness,

very gentle and comforting her

advice,

like soothing balm on wobble knees

they are;

gossipers-she shuts down quickly,

her three-in-one-role-

daughter, wife, and mother,

she performs with distinction.
 Image result for winnie mandela


Her assurance of support

is like constant northern star,

her loyalty like moon and stars

for their regularity;

her trust she gives without terms,

household’s battle she takes upon

herself.


Like a multi-single room home-

so is her-heart,

which accommodates every

desire and concern of her

own;

when one-of-her own weeps,

she cries,

when one-of-her own smiles,

she laughs,

when one-of-her own rejoices,

she basks in a great joy.



A blanket and fur during

the winter,

a linen in the summer,

a fragrance over a repulsive

odor,

a stepping stone in place

of a stumbling block.



A rare wine-literal

and symbolic-

that does not intoxicate,

instead it makes heart rejoice.



Wife! Yes, every time,

she Works Intensely Free

from Error,

more than a partner,

but a complement that

makes part a whole.



A complement who

fills the vacuum,

a sojourn that turns temporary

stay to a permanent-live-in,

with whom a life long journey

has no end.



WIFE: she that

works intensely

free from error,

a rorre or world-with midas

torch making insufficient

sufficient,

sophont-identified by intelligence-

Terra is your home.


Forever, forever, and forever,

you remain a treasure,

for eternity-the pleasure

in you shall never dwindle,

for generations-you remain

assurance of goodness

that will continue to happen.

Representation!

  1. Representation.

  2. He that loves the truth,
    I become tomato;
    haters of truth, ...
    I become onion,
    to evil man in
    neighborhood,
    I become a
    Dragon's Breath.

  3. To kind-hearted,
    I become an olive oil,
    to matured,
    I have become
    pomegranate.

  4. To those who
    believes in capacity
    building,
    I'm a mustard seed.

  5. Oak tree, redwood,
    redmaple, sequoia, and
    giant trees find abode
    in me.

Midnight!

Midnight

When lovers meet,

when deals are made,

sealed, and signed,

when powerful decides

on affairs of living,

when quietness

envelopes lousy day,

and darkness rules.



Midnight-respecter of

no soul,

mystic hour-

no one fully understand,

visible-invisible-veil

that covers life;

mighty, noble, king,

ordinary have shares in,

behind shadow for

workers of lawlessness.



To midnight-whisper

belongs-

when wise ruminate,

in you are susurrates’

nightclubs,

even nightjars find

delight in you.



Midnight-

within your territory

are bistros of Jezebel,

in your orchard are

brasseries for

sons of Balak.



Midnight-

I may not see

palm lines clearly,

I may not behold road

walk with ease in day time,

I may not recognize

known faces,

midnight-I fear you not-

midnight-I tremble for you

NOT.

Give me the milk of life,

thirst,

let your breasts feed me.



Let your breasts create

eternal bond of friendship

build and nurture.



Calcium and iron from your breasts

intelligence quotient



Mother-whichever way,

you want

cradle, football or

side-lying, standing,

sitting, squatting,

I say:

give me colostrum,

mature milk give me,

transitional milk-deny me not,

involution milk-make it available.



Mother-gift from your breasts

today,

comes with blessing and

benefit for tomorrow,

mother-liquid of love-

you give today,

turns tomorrow’s

promissory note

suckers of your breasts

shall without fail honor.



Mother-many waters-

you give today become

ever-flowing water-

you shall drink

tomorrow.

 

Mother! Mother! Mother!

Let your nipples flow with

liquid of love,

mother-let your areola

attract me baby

all day long,

mother-let the two

containers of life, love,

laughter, and hilarity

keep benefiting “mama,

baby, and the planet.”

New Slavery In Africa.


  1. Image result for slavery in libya


  2. It started as Trans-Saharan trade between 8th century until early 17th century, Trans-Saharan trade though under went several changes, historians believed it started much earlier, around 300 CE; and this trades continued in the days of three Western Sudanese empires: Ghana, Mali, and Songhai.
    Between western and eastern Sahara, which is over four to five thousand miles apart, there were different routes.
    Unfortunately, however, Trans-Saharan trade assumed another dimension by... 9th century, when Muslim Arab and Swahili trader "won the control of Swahili coast"; these traders captured Bantu people in today's "Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania."
    At the start Arabian slave trade was around Indian Ocean, Ethiopia, Somali, Egypt, Arabia, and Persian Gulf.

    But as soon as Islam began its spread to Europe through Al-Andalus, slavery in Africans became a good business to provide labor and domestic servants in Europe for wealthy Arabs until Islam was defeated in Europe.
    Interestingly, a period of slave trade hiatus followed, before another heinous slave trade, trans-Atlantic slave trade followed.
    For another four hundred years, over sixteen million Africans forcibly removed from their lands, torn from their cultures, ferried to the other side of Atlantic Ocean.
    While, Trans-Atlantic slave trade received so much publicity in books, journals, newspapers, little or nothing is said about the previous slave trade in Africa, which was worse in terms of physical violence, cruelty, and brutality African slaves suffered in the hands of their Arabs masters.
    In 2017, history is repeating itself, as Libya has turned to Gas chamber or concentration camps for migrant Africans on their way up north.
    So sad, that world of mankind is watching doing nothing, while United Nations is busied with unnecessary resolutions on North Korea.
    Of what use is human dignity, when humans are turned slave by fellow brothers just to re-enact or replay old tunes.
