Pregnancy

Day 5 of 366 days of learning life nuggets through poetry and commentary with Fisayomie
Date: 05/01/2020
Topic: PREGNANCY

PREGNANCY
On a swing searching for happiness
More than ready to shun laziness
But no dream
Even if I search to the bream

A blessed son you wanted
What have you planted?
No cultivation
Yet you anticipate vegetation

Searching for a reality
Without dream of formality
Just like a couple anticipating a child birth
Without a game that scares death

Pregnancy brings anxiety
Dream brings reality
To draw a map
You need to picture it like a snap.

     COMMENTARY
  For you to achieve that your goal and desire, there's a need to conceive it first, nurture it and then give birth to it, just like a pregnancy woman that conceive and nurture foetus before giving birth to a bouncing baby that calls for celebration.

  In order to be recognized you need to be pregnant always, pregnancy of ideas, pregnancy of visions that bid success. Someone that isn't pregnant can't be expecting a child at the rate that someone that is pregnant is expecting, they ain't mate. Be pregnant today and stand out after your birth.

Weaved Cloth

Day 4 of 366 days of learning life nuggets through poetry and commentary with Fisayomie
Date: 04/01/2020
Topic: WEAVED CLOTH

WEAVED CLOTH
Time isn't forever
Things keep moving across the border
Nothing seems immortal
The day keeps growing brighter

Birds keep outgrowing one another
The growth of a daughter isn't waiting for that of mother
The son's own isn't delayed by that of his father
Sister's isn't bothered by her brother

Everything turning around
Change ploughing the ground
Different tones giving varieties of sounds
This is a surprising turnaround

This life isn't of no return
It's just your turn
Wear well and afraid of thorns
This life is turn by turn.

       COMMENTARY
  There was a time that weaved cloth (aso ofi) was the talk of the town, when only the wealthy ones could afford it comfortably, but where is its value now? Do you also remember that old wagon and tortoise car? Can you remember how valuable they were then? Where are they now?

  Be humble wherever you are today, the person you stepped on today without saying sorry, may be needed on your way down tomorrow, life is like a weaved cloth that would lose quality with time.

  Don't be too sure that you won't be overtake, life is like express road, overtaking is endorsed.

Addiction

Day 3 of 366 days of learning life nuggets through poetry and commentary with Fisayomie
Date: 03/01/2020
Topic: ADDICTION

ADDICTION
I was cinched in the sky
I could do zilch but to fly
Law of gravity at full force
Enjoying the full ride on the horse

Inconceivable they thought
Feasible I taught
Bidding my thought on positivity
Declining everything about negativity

I'm fully addicted
And it's well communicated
Down I won't come
The rumors? I'll go dumb

Intoxicated, propagated and cultivated
My ambition is well documented
I call it addiction
That brings conviction.

   COMMENTARY
  Whatever good thing you lay your hands on, be addicted to it, no one has enough power to take away what you're addicted to.

  I wonder if there's a man that can take racing away from horse or take biting away from teeth. Your addiction is your strength, be addicted to your strength.

The Last Card

Day 2 of 365 days of learning life nuggets through poetry and commentary with Fisayomie
Date: 02/01/2020
Topic: THE LAST CARD

THE LAST CARD
It's not ample to say yesterday wasn't favorable
And adjudicate to be impossible
Without surveying the last card you played
Only if you bid to get outplayed

Incepting afresh is more than bright
Reshuffling is really a great fight
Bringing about new result
That may alleviate impending insult

But you can't start to cultivate again
Without being shrewd of what caused reduction in gain
In the year that just left us by
Unless you're ready to say another bye

Check the Antiquities
And see the impossibilities
Then you'll have more idea
That would bring about panacea

       COMMENTARY
  It's never enough to say you want to start all over my friend, unless you're ready to get drenched again by the same element that drenched you last time. Be more than ready to check the last card you played that got you here, for that would show you more than enough to excel.

Last Chapter Of The Decade

THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE DECADE
  Another decade is commencing today happens to be the ringing tone of everyone as at yesterday, and it seems everyone needs to be schooled to know that a decade is actually nothing less than or nothing more than ten years, which strictly says a decade is ten years.  Maybe everyone knows this but are so anxious of leaving this very decade behind and take another flag of unknown decade thinking next decade is being equipped with threads that sew without human effort.

  If you can do well to open the shaft of the past nine chapters of this outgoing decade that we've exhausted, we'll realize that there are more than some evitable things that we made inevitable even when it wasn't death by our nonchalant attitude that has caused our altitude not to receive gratitude. And this has eaten deep into the bone marrow of our structure.

  "With adequate weapons, war is as easy as eating butter on a hot bread, and without adequate weapons, war is as hard as cracking a solid rock with mere teeth." said Lawrence Benjamin 1954 and I quote. Looking back at the nine chapters is as good as having wheel barrow to convey your little sand to your site instead of carrying pan on your head. Things you've learned and accumulated are more than enough to conquer the monster that stares ahead. If a man could struggle and be successful in accumulating the gain he couldn't accumulate between January to November only in December, I wonder what a resolute mind would do with a whole twelve months of Decembers. I guess it's more than what would make your decade something to dream of again.

  Mr Elvis hasn't left the building, it's still a possibility. "Impossible is possible in the land of impossible if you see yourself as impossible in the land that is well defined by impossible." Said by Thomas Kruse 1922 and I quote. Really, nothing is impossible if you see it possible and that leads me to one of my poems that says

    Nothing is impossible
    If only I see it possible
    Discarding weight
    That bids me wait
    Nothing Is Impossible
    Only If I bid it possible

  These twelve months that is ahead of us is more than enough to turn this last chapter of the decade around and change the whole decade into a favourite memory site.
  The last chapter of the decade is more than enough to have a turnaround.

Passion

PASSION

 God has put inside every person the potential to be passionate. One individual with passion is greater than the passive force of ninety-nine who only have interest. Too many people have only intrigue with their destiny. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it wth all your might.

 Come to think of it, what is passion?

Passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion.

 If it's close to uncontrollable, what determination do you think you can have to beat a man with passion? If you have passion, what kind of energetic being would come and steal your world? No man would dare you my friend.

 Passion is that zeal of giving all without reservation, that feeling of pushing hard without fear of losing out, that determination that won't make the pains visible to you, that is what passion is.

   If you've watch action movies, though they're full of fictions but the blurry pains that isn't visible in the eyes of the main actor is what we call passion, man with passion call only be beaten by gods.

  Everyone loves something, we are shaped and motivated by what we live and that is our passion. If you ignore what you're passionate about, I wonder how you'll be ready to give all when the test of time comes knocking.

 Stop and think about what grabs your attention, stirs your passion, rouses anger, unleashes strong words, and causes definitive action from you.

 The last time I checked, nothing significant was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Even Jesus was passionate about mankind, for him to have faced the test of time and suffering.

 What generates passion and zeal in you is a clue to revealing your destiny. What you love is a clue to something you contain.

 Without passion man is a mere latent force and a possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

Tim Redmond said and I quote, he said "there are many things that will catch my eye, but there are only a very few that catches my heart... It is those I consider to pursue." The worst bankruptcy in the world is the man who has lost his enthusiasm. You must first be a believer if you would be an achiever.

 Be passionate about what you do and you'll see turnaround in your doing.
