IN THE DAYS OF MEN

A chase after the wind,
Bittersweet,
To some we add up to the numbers and to some we are the number.

To some we are no more than faint phrases,
Mistakenly pieced together with other abominable words,
The mind in the wake of its ominous acquaintance is eager to delete.

To some we are beautiful chapters,
The mind blissfully basks in, artistically pieced together with other savourable words,
The mind is dreadfully reluctant to forget.
Such is the conundrum called life;
A masterpiece aesthetically masterminded by the Master of all masters,
A punch above man’s weight.

The fruitless toils of humanity,
Deeply rooted in its quest for happiness;
For futility joyously cleaves to all brazen attempts to banish his anonymity.

Whiles reality without failure,
Consistently enslaves his dreams to elope with meaningness.

Today dominant, tomorrow docile,
Virile are the thoughts that plague his mind,
Yet, servile are the emotions that beset the heart.

Such is man’s eternal tragedy cast in time,
Indeed, a chase after the wind

Patience

Why do people marry and soon get divorced?Because they are not patient to study their partners. Why do people hasten to tie what they cannot untie?Because they are not always patient to wait for their time to come. In everything that we do,patience must be a key factor.Without patience,we cannot achieve anything in life. Success is a journey with a long winding road.It takes patience to reach success,thereafter,it grows like a crop. Let us not let the testimonies of others push us to do something that we will regret at the end.The adage that says "wealth hastily gotten dwindles but he who gathers little by little develops it" is not said for nothing According to Sir Winston Spencer Churchill,"Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others".Perhaps your time hasn't yet come but that of someone you know and even better than has come,continue to be patient. Patience is the magic key.It unlocks all things in time. Hasten t...

Worship

The Bible make us understand that the Angels and Elders in Heaven always bow to worship the King of all Kings. The underlined word here is BOW . Worship is a spiritual connection and conversation between God and man through which man exalts God. What do we see in today's Christianity? People worship God depending on the mood in which they find themselves. When he/she is angry, there is a way he/she worships and when they are happy also, there is a different mood for worship. That is an insult to God and Heaven. The Bible says, we should be thankful at all times. Why can't we just let go all our troubles and give our hearts to God in times of worship?. We normally see arms being folded and hands in pockets during worship hours and that also is an Insult to God and Heaven. The lifting of hands and bowing of hearts during times of worship is what God wants from us. And to you Mr. Instrumentalist, it's not just about playing. Get involved in the worship. The spiri...

A love of two tales

A LOVE OF TWO TALES. A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, But where shall they live? Decapitated and decimated; no, Dismembered and disfigured; yes, Yet, their love was not obliterated. For love’s root was cast so deep and its fruit hang so steep, No treat, as vile as a vicious brute could wreak, Would nip their love in its bud. Tried and tested, Thirsty and tattered, Yet neither shattered nor conquered. For many waters could not quench its soul; nope, Nor manifold flames blaze its hope, But where to shall they elope? At the stars they gave; they wonder, Or into the deep they stowaway; they ponder or maybe head yonder? So, with their thought they can help not but to tinker. Oh, that space, time, race, tribe, culture and nurture, Would come to nought, Never to be brought to a place of thought. For a fish and a bird may indeed spawn true love, But wherewithal shall their worlds embrace them? Writer: SETH YEBOAH Contact: 024 614 4413
