Young African Military Presidents Opposed Ecowas'sanctions In Niger

As Ecowas  sanctioned Niger, 
some neighbour countries members 
of Ecowas opposed those sanctions
on their African brothers and sisters 
which are useless.
current president of Burkinafaso "
the very young president on the planet " 
sent three hundred trucks of foods 
and other things,  escorted by his military
to Niger's capital city 
 "Niamey" for the needy. 
many African young leaders appreciated
his major contributions according to his capacity , 
showing good heart and patriotic spirit. 
Many young African leaders know that 
power does not mean to control people
but the happiness of helping  them
Which is " Ubuntu Philosophy"  
Many Africans are so happy  to see  how  courageous people of Niger continue standing for their rights. 
President of Mali warned Ecowas not to enter Niger ,
 if they declare to fight the new government of Niger,  
he will attack Nigeria and put to power
the rightful candidate who won the election. 
All the members of Ecowas
who rejected the decisions to sanction Niger
are  deciding to fight Nigeria whenever
 president Bola Ahmed Tinubu will declare 
 war against Niger.  

It seems as young African military presidents 
are standing to finish neo - colonisation 
and majority selfish old presidents
continue allying with the colonists

What I Need To Learn

If my behaviour is rude or objectionable.
What I need to learn to make it sustainable?
I studied surrealism and swathe me susceptible,
To concrete relations to develop surmountable,
But I temporize to learn your surreptitious gamble.
Then your religion adopted me a non religious,
And treated a birth distortion in human factitious,
Factotum a fait accompli not identifiable crush,
My soul is evil not a body needs purification by hydrous.
My kindness and forgiveness converted me a feeble. 
But hypertension shows me your hygienic hyperbola,
To curse my appetite not your spare to gain Lola,
You feel cold and hot and used me to assemble cola,
How can I excuse my children remember your Bola?


Pawpaw Adage of Life

PAW PAW ADAGE OF LIFE.

I know this fruit
I know its old nursery rhyme
I love its taste so sweet
The softness and sweetness align

But where thou grow makes me wonder
In bola thou stand amidst dirt
Cheered by smells and empty nylons 
There you stand so tall and with ripe fruits

Thou sweetness is like Cummings
Your surrender on the mouth like a soft romance
Your taste on the lips sweet like a lovely kiss

Your watery body make my mouth wet
While my tongue leak up your juice 
As it gives a slippery passage 
For your easy sliding into my waiting stomach.

This I know I for sure 
A star can shine in the dark sky
When nature unlucks its features 
From nowhere a man shines.

Se Busca a Cupido

Es oficial!!!!!!!
Se busca a cupido por criminal
es acusado de homicidio en el primer grado
con una flecha envenenada me ha disparado

me engaño, me hizo creer que todo estaria bien
ahora puedo sentir el dolor brotar por los poros de mi piel
espero que pronto la justicia lo encuentre
para que ya deje de lastimar a toda esta gente

no es que no crea en el amor pues se que existe
pero a veces el dolor hasta de amor se viste
y cuando lo encuentren seré el primero en testificar
frente a un jurado que cupido realmente no sabe amar

que me ha defraudo y me flechó con penas y dolor
y que de tristeza él llenó todo mi corazon
y cuando se llege el dia de su condena
estaré presente para ver como el juez ordena

que sea ejecutado a cadena perpetua
y ver como en el centro de su ser lo injectan
y espero que en ese momento él sienta lo que yo senti
cuando aquel supuesto amor de mi lado vi partir

asi que espero pronto encuentren a este impostor
se dice llamar "cupido" pero solo es un estafador
se jacta de traer amor a las vidas de las personas
luego te flecha con sentimientos que te hacen bola
y terminas peor que como comenzastes
y de tu vida él hace un completo desastre!!

Asquith Street, Jones Town

A long spine of asphalt, sizzling black
The macka back cart rumbling
On the morning nerve, herring sprat
Is high life some days in this place
Across the street the bakery
Up the street the parrot teaching me to curse
The hollow determination in any face
For we were all connected by a common shame
The sense that here was the bottom
And our pain was those on top of us
And zinc fences surrounding us
In the prison of our dream.

I was the child at the back of the crowd
After the evening prayers
And the rush for freedom
From the classroom corals that punished our desire
To find our own direction amidst the squall
Of trickery and gun fire ... 
I was the child like a raggamuffin on the street
The distractor so my friends could cheat
Mr Bola of his dumplings
My pocket tell the truth of grease in them
I was the child stoning the mango trees
And then close to my gate ... drop back, boy
Behold, out of me a muted lamb appear

I remember, Mrs Donaldson, Byfield
And the tall wall, high as the East Indian tree
I remember Scott, Penley
The girl who almost stole my virginity
And long not now my inocense to keep
What joy for it I could have reaped
But I had neither asphalt nor concrete
Not backbone 
Not knowledge of self, no longing for a me
While England's song I hummed those days
And mother's voice was my leash.
I could break on law
Without my brother's raw anger, the basket of his pride
The tamarind switch, my burning skin
The street at noonday filled with din
Firm as a cross
And I wandering it bewitched and lost.


Character Version 2

What the world 
Thinks a woman is?
That's her 'reputation'.

Sadly, 
It's often based
On false accusation,
Prejudice and supposition.

Upon further investigation
What's been found, 
She really is?
That's her 'character'.

For its her heart's 
Attunement and intention,
That truly matter. 
(Hence, the question.)

At any rate
Though it is fate,
Which presents 
Her circumstances,

Love still requires 
That a woman 
Take her chances,
To determine her character.
In that way 
The seeds of 
Her wisdom will scatter.

If here and now
 She were to somehow,
Receive an unexpected
And sudden impact,
How would she react?

How would she respond?
If the truth be known,
Character is a diamond 
That scratches a little,
Every other stone.

Yet never 
Has there been
A magic wand, 
Rock or crystal
More powerful 
Than a woman's
Strong backbone.

 We each need 
A mind and will
Of our own,
To fulfill.

Character 
Is a victory, 
Not a gift.
 Underneath the mystery
Lies the lesson 
To uplift.

Character, 
As a kettle 
Once mended,
Always requires repairs.

Sin, 
As a bad habit
Once transcended,
Always requires prayers.

Like the story goes,
A person shows 
What she is;
By what she does 
With what she has,
Not by whom 
She knows.

Self-determinism 
Is fine but needs 
To be tempered 
With self-control.

Misfortune will
Usually decline wherever 
Soul recognition
Becomes 
The ultimate goal.

Meri Soch Nu Le Dil Kehna

Meri soch nu padle dil kehnda
Lakh duri sajna per tuhi mrre 
vich
rehnda
MAi hasdi bus nal
Tere khamoshi na dil sehnda
Tu mra sab kuj ve sajna
Kyu barr menu eh kehna 
penda
Tre nal mai jeundi aa na tu 
mre vich
khon ban vehnda
Lyf tere nl he meri jaan tera 
na
japda dill rehda
I love uh so much keh skun 
milda
jaan sun dil has penda
Tre nal ek pal b na bola
Mar mar nilkle o pal mra
Tu beshak mre bin reh sakda
Dil mra duri na sehnda
Meri soch nu padlr dil kehnda

Wo Kahti Hai

Hamary bary my zamana baty karta hai
Bola   do   hum   ko    wo    kahti    hai
Nahi chahti k badnam ho donu Zamany my
Ab tor do yah rishta Wo kahti hai
Na milay ga koi dunya mu tyry jysa 
Rakho gi hamysha yad tum ko wo kahti hai
Dyty howy khatt wo ro rahi thi
Yad kar k tumhy muskaraw gi wo kahti hai
Khatt b ro raha tha lafzoo ko dakh kar
Us k akhar my sada muskaraw wo kahti hai

Ab is zindagi ka my kya karo

Marny ka sochu to AMAR us ke ik bat yad ati hai
Jina    sirf    myry   lia    wo    kahti       hai

Premium Member Whispers of Greatness

Great people have one desirable quality~~
humility.
You won't find them looking
to be 'top dog'.
They are already accomplished,
and fully know just that.


They do not run panting feverishly to be 
ahead of the pack.
Somehow the winds of the seas,
are the sails at their backs!
I've noticed how they move through 
life so effortlessly!


Whether it was Buckminster Fuller or the
leader of the Tibet.
Or the late John Denver, or the great,
famed, late Brazilian, guitarist, Bola Sete!
When I met them, all had that one ineffable 
quality.....humility.
Plus a love for all humanity emblazoned on 
their hearts.

It's the insignificant, boastful others!
Jabbering or writing endlessly just
to gain a stand on life's soapbox.
And the worst, those who demand
my adulation.

How ridiculous these mice look
next to men of accomplishment!
May I always measure any of
my minuscule successes, to men 
or women free of false pride.

As one of my highly accomplished 
comedian friends, surprisingly said 
to me:
"None of my success is my doing!
It's all due to the man upstairs!"

Bola Knot

the subtle union in the knot,
used by sailors since time forgot,
a bowler knot, says my dad, says he,
bowline thinks me all at sea,
the no slip knot,  tied horse, he got,
and still gets tied by me.

dinna choke the horse you see...
If a horse pulled back in fright,
he got strangled by a rope, did he,
knot that slipped, death could follow...
too bloody right...

"forget the knots" thanks Joe Maverick

O Sonho

O Sonho

As pessoas não sabem que o sonho 
é a vida 
que dá vida
tão concreta e definida 
como outra coisa qualquer, 
como estas maritacas que gritam 
em bebedeiras de verde. 

As pessoas não sabem 
que o sonho 
é vinho, é batom, é fermento, 
bichinho de focinho pontiagudo, 
que fossa através de tudo 
num perpétuo movimento. 

As pessoas não sabem 
que o sonho 
é tela, é cor, é pincel, 
base, fuste, vitral, 
contraponto, 
sinfonia, 
máscara grega, magia, 
que é mapa do mundo distante, 
rosa-dos-ventos
que é Cabo da Boa Esperança!

As pessoas não sabem
nem sonham, 
que o sonho comanda a vida. 

As pessoas não sabem
Que sempre que uma pessoa sonha 
o mundo pula e avança 
como bola colorida 
entre as mãos de uma criança.

Sonhe hoje,
Sonhe sempre.

The Suitor

So oft' he used to pass my way, and
merrily nod and pass the time of day
with a polite lift of his tall bola-hat
then he'd wander off again

His stature was somewhat portly
yet his  nature charming just the same
I knew him to be a gentleman
with hat and gloves and cane.

One day he stopped and bowed so low
twas' not an empty gesture
for he became a suitor and I his wife
and he passes  by no longer.

Sabruka

(Inspector General Of Police Bola)
Ldky ko marwa dain gay
Supari Sabruka
Teka bhi lagwa dain gay
Supari Sabruka
Galla bhi dabwa dain gay
Supari Sabruka
Fire bhi marwa dain gay
Supari sabruka...

Sonho Comanda a Vida

Sonho comanda a vida

O sonho 
é uma constante da vida 
tão concreta e definida 
como outra coisa qualquer.
 
O sonho 
é batom,
é espuma, é fermento, 
bichinho de focinho pontudo, 
que fossa através de tudo 
num perpétuo movimento. 

O sonho 
é paleta, é cor, 
é pincel, 
é base, 
máscara,
é mate 
magia, 
é Cabo da Boa Esperança! 

saiba, sonhe, 
que o sonho comanda a vida. 
Que sempre que uma pessoa sonha 
o mundo pula e avança 
como bola colorida 
entre as mãos de uma criança.
