Watchnight Songs-A Book To Own.

1. Consider these ten mega cities around the globe: New-York, United States; Manila, the Philippines; Karachi, Pakistan; Mexico City, Mexico; Delhi, India; Seoul, ...South Korea; Jakarta, Indonesia; Shanghai, China; Guangzhou, China; Tokyo, Japan with a combined population of 238.7 million representing 3.41 per cent of world's population.
2. What do these cities and those not mentioned have in common with man? So much, but strikingly or rather the soul stirring similarities between a typical city and Homo sapiens-mankind.
3. Similarity? Yes, of course- the similitude; perhaps, we may say: the parallel or homoiousia between a man and the community he lives with either general or specialized units (or parts) that allow this community function like a human body.
4. Have you ever thought-what represents the human mind or seat of intellect, heart, kidney, lung, liver, skin, tummy, circulatory system, leg, hand/finger, eye, ear in a typical human dwelling place?
5. Are you ready to peer into a new discovery as Poetry creatively unraveled the similarities between biological science of human physiology & anatomy and that of city's physical design & plan?
6. The Watchnight Songs, creatively brings the new, but rare knowledge to the FORE for everyone to KNOW.
7. The Summary of the New Discovery is found in Chapter 2: "The Human Body- A Symbolic City."
8. The Watchnight Songs is now available at: amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, authorhouse.com, indiebound.org, booksamillion.com, and several other online retail outlets.
9. More so, the book comes in two versions- the paper and the eBook, which can be downloaded on any smart phone or tablet, provided the device carries a supporting program or application of the chosen bookstore.

Igbo Kwenu!

Igbo Kwenu!

I’m not Igbo,

but I feel his pains,

I’m not Igbo,

his complaints are

genuine,

I’m not Igbo,

his fears are justified,

I’m not Igbo,

listen to his cry.

I’m not Igbo,

treat Igbo man fairly,

I’m not Igbo,

he deserves not third

class citizen in father’s

house;

I’m not Igbo,

give Igbo man justice,

treat Igbo man with

fairness.

I’m not Igbo,

let Igbo dream lives,

I’m not Igbo,

let Igbo be part of

a new Nigeria.

 

I’m not Igbo,

visit father’s sins

not upon the children,

I’m not Igbo,

remember Igbo makes

the triangle north-west-east

possible.

I’m not Igbo,

let Igbo man and

woman live,

I’m not Igbo,

let Igbo sea ports function,

let Igbo airports fly and land

planes,

save Igbo from erosion and

mud sliding.

 

Let Igbo roads be

motor able,

let Onitsha be the door

to land of sunrise and

sunset,

let Nnewi industrial spirit

lives on.

Let Aba entrepreneurs’

spirit thrives,

let Owerri burgeon,

let Umuahia blossom,

let the coal city-Enugu-

flourish,

let Nsukka be Athens of

east,

let Abiriba boom.

I’m not Igbo,

on Aburi Igbo stands.

 

Future I See.

Future-I See.

Tomorrow I see

with clear eyes,

future I see with

unclouded mind,

I gaze not at

constellations up in sky,

I have no crystal ball or

Orbuculum.

I look not at palm,

I consult not urim,

divination I keep at bay,

I visit no fortuneteller.

Upon my roof top,

I observe the conduct

of earthly man,

on my balustrade,

I watch activity of

homo sapiens.

On my parapet,

I stay musing on

affairs of mankind,

in my bed-I ruminate

upon the activity of human.

Oh! What I see create fear

in me,

what I see terrify me,

what I see un-nerve me,

what I see agitate my soul,

what I see unsettle me.

When I observe

never-to-be-proud-of-

conduct of elders,

I ask-where did we go

wrong?

When I look at subpar

leaders,

I ask-what happens

to history?

When I observe

how evil continues to

triumph over good,

I ask-what is the

purpose of life?

When I examine conduct of

hirees or elected to work

for public good,

their insouciant behavior,

I ask-what will tomorrow hold

for mankind.

Fathers-I appraise at

public square,

continually I shake head

in disbelief;

mothers-I observe

at concourse,

every time-I weep

as mothers abandon noble

roles for ignoble.

Wives-I descry

in marketplace,

at all times,

every time I become

dubiety for future

they will bequeath to

daughters.

Brothers-I watch

at agora,

I can’t believe-

what I see every time,

sons-I behold at

village green,

madly-I ask-

are these leaders of

tomorrow?

Daughters-I probe at

esplanade,

I ask self-

are these wives and

mothers of tomorrow?

Oh! What I see every day

is troubling.

I see decency

leaving in anger,

decorum resigning

from duty post,

morality going on vacation,

hard work and dignity

saying good bye to

colleagues.

I see honesty and uprightness

closing shops,

love, kindness, and peace

put in jail,

fairness, justice, equity, and

equality thrown into dustbin.

I see war on throne,

from one place to another,

hate, discrimination,

fanatism, xenophobia,

as counsellors and advisers.

I see discrimination, religious

extremism, intolerance, rightist,

leftist, anger, inflexible,

rigidity, and immutable

in parliaments.

Hallowed chambers-

once occupied by love, peace,

reconciliation, and friendship,

now anathemized or accursed

chambers.

Mankind on road to perdition,

mankind on felo-de-se,

mankind on self-destructive

behaviors;

who delivers his soul?

Oh! Future-I see is worrisome,

Yeah! Tomorrow-I see is

disturbing,

again I ask-who will

save mankind from

self-destruction?

Mathematics of Life.

Mathematics of Life

Add goodness to life

to make many love life,

exponentialize love to

remove social barriers and

open enclosures,

multiply love by abolishing

all differences and racial

superiority promoted by few,

square root peace to

give mankind unity.

Turn justice, fairness,

equity and equality to

foursquare,

foundation for society’s

brotherhood and greatness;

subtract hate right from heart,

what unites-let heart bear and

proclaim.

Subtract hate from politics

unite people for goodness,

divide not by religion, race,

politics, and nationality,

multiply everything that

brings people together.

Equality before law,

promote;

distribution and access to

commonwealth,

let fairness reign,

assign equity to supervise and

manage national resources

Respect every soul

uphold integer,

where everyone is important,

don’t fractionalize evil,

but treat evil as a universal

scourge.

Turn no human to sub-human

through decimalization

unite by ampersand,

symbol of cooperation,

be tolerant just as

plus-minus co-exist.

Divisive act and profanity-

asterisk to minimize effect,

instead of backlashing or

setting difference,

let everyone be same,

let equal sign live.

Let 360 represents

completeness and inclusion,

as you watch everyone

under your care,

run an all-inclusive system,

where everyone counts.

Percent and ratio,

make a strengthening factor,

square-let each corner of

community counts,

never be rectangular in nature,

yoke no two unequal partners-

for same goal,

rather-make parallelogram-

foundation of life,

let each side of equal size and

strength run the show

with minimum control,

rhombus-yes-but not

every time,

cylinder-no-even with

perpendicularity.

Issues-discuss with maturity-

angles to all matters-

consider dispassionately.

Let mathematics of life

rules,

let mathematics of life

multiply love,

add laughter,

divide task or duty, and

subtract hate from life.

Today Make Better.

Today Make Better.

Today I will make better,

yesterday’s mistake

I won’t repeat,

today I’ll make different

yesterday’s bad company

I won’t keep,

Today I’ll walk on new path-

yesterday’s inglorious pathway,

I’ll avoid;

today I’ll sing a new song,

old tune I’ll discard.

Today-value I’ll add to life-

help I’ll render to people,

weak-I’ll strengthen-

trouble soul I’ll comfort,

broken bones-I’ll bind-

father to fatherless boy,

widow-I’ll give a listening ear.

Today-new friends I’ll make-

yesterday’s enemies-

I’ll forgive,

heart door-I’ll open to

unknown-

new lessons about life,

I’ll learn from them.

 

Yesterday’s failure,

I’ll turn to opportunity,

reasons for failure

I’ll research and make

knowledge from it

abundant to humanity.

 Good cause-I’ll pursue-

yesterday’s  skirmish-

I’ll abandon.

Today-yes-today,

I’ll recreate through

a transformational power,

unseen inner force,

a positive power that

turns all “disappointments,

unfortunate, ills, impossibilities,

and inadequacies” in negative tones

to positive tones.

 

Yes-today-I will make

better,

lessons from yesterday,

I will turn to gold,

for tomorrow to become

best.

Mathematics Through The Centuries.

1. Mathematics Through
   the Centuries.
   
   
2. Numbers upon numbers,
   formulas upon formulas,...
   hypothetical statements
   against factual statements,
   logic, abstraction, equations,
   concepts, counting, measurements,
   calculations define your existence.
   

   
   
3. With just seven symbols
   ancient Egypt gave mankind
   arithmetic,
   from its stable are addition,
   subtraction, multiplication, and
   division through fractions,
   upon which pyramids, irrigation,
   construction, astronomy, time,
   seasons, and lunar calendar owe
   existence.
   
   
4. Babylonians and Sumerians
   you tasked with complex
   computations from
   algebra, geometry, trigonometry and
   advanced calculation,
   to make their daily activities
   construction, astronomy, astrology,
   painting, weaving, and measurement
   more scientific.
   
   
5. Greek-you made theoreticians-
   from among Greeks,
   you gave humanity
   Pythagoras, Aristotle,
   Philo, Hippasus, Thales of
   Miletus, Euclid and many more.
   Al-jabr or algebra,
   “reunion of broken parts”
   
   
6. Arabs made popular-
   thanks to al-Khwarizmi’s
   algebraic rhetorical style,
   kudos to Diophantus’
   syncopated or symbolic
   representation,
   propped by al-Marrakushi and
   Ali al-Qalasadi.
   
   
7. Alexander-the-great
   you commissioned to spread
   mathematics,
   through-the-three-tools,
   gun, culture, and language.
   
   
8. Conquered territories,
   Alexander baptized into
   Greek culture,
   after his sword-philosophy,
   knowledge, mathematics
   Greece bequeathed humanity.
   
   
9. Through Rome-
   you spread three “Rs”
   arithmetic, reading, and writing,
   by means of Roman Catholic
   Church,
   schools you established
   abroad,
   knowledge you spread
   to nooks and crannies around globe.
   
   
10. Inheritance both Hellenized
    Greeks and Romanized citizens
    localized,
    to advance individual society.
    India, Eastern Mediterranean,
    Mesopotamia, Iran Plateaus, and
    Central Asia you made home of
    Mathematics.
    
    
11. To Indians Zero belongs,
    from Indians negative numbers
    less than zero originated,
    trigonometry-Indians gave life-
    sine, cosine, and arc tangent,
    Indians made more definitive.
    
    
12. Ancient world and modern
    societies,
    mathematics recreated,
    through math-Europe-
    rediscovered itself;
    knowledge from math
    contributed greatly to
    reformation.
    
    
13. Reformation-many were its
    offspring-
    exploration, discovery, and
    industrial revolution,
    gifts to Europe.
    
    
14. New world-America-
    North and South,
    you handed over to Europe,
    Africa, Australasia, islands,
    territories,
    South Atlantic-trans-oceanic
    navigation,
    bequeathed to Europe.
    
    
15. Thanks to Mathematics-
    oracle of numbers,
    Horus, Sesheta, and Thoth
    three Egyptian gods of numbers
    may boast of ancient Egyptians’
    success,
    but today’s wonders from
    mathematics and all disciples
    beyond human comprehension.
    Mathematics! Mathematics!
    Mathematics!
    Mankind say: Thank You.
