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.

Death Of The Reason

DEATH OF THE REASON
Vulture raveling in the sky
With an unerring sound of sly
Saying so it's over
So the battle couldn't cross the border

I hanged my head precariously
Thinking of how I'll checkmate concurrently
But the heart is full of tears
Pouring fears that had accumulated for years

Do I really want to stand alone
Even when I can't sing without a tone
I wonder if three can stand in pairs
That bids my heart in despairs

I didn't check the depth and I dived too deep
Now my stance I can't keep
Years of fears bid some loss and gain
The reason I'll like to take again

Time would fight and give me courage
But can I stand the test of time with my age?
My flawless flower, disperse to my way
And I won't ever lead you astray

First test of time and you're flying
For better and worse you said when craving
What has caused the resolution of the treason
Is it the death of the reason?

My Soldier

  MY SOLDIER
Conflict between pleasure and pain
Game of loss and gain
In between is the enlargement of coast
That made her to toast
Journey of bitterness
That may yield some happiness

Outgrowing her shape
That made her lose some shade
Series of mood swing
That causes her to sing
The ryhme of agony, pain and tears
That gave birth to unlimited fears

Turning a soldier at war
At a place that is far
Away from home like Rome
Where she can't really call home
What a wonder
What a soldier

Now the fruit is up and ripening
Yet she's not stopping
Fighting from coast to coast
For us to boast
She's indeed a soldier
For me to have ponder.

She deserves accolades like medal
In support to lift her head like ladder
Not even all the men could be a soldier
So I wonder.

Student under a teacher

STUDENT UNDER A TEACHER

Asserting to fly without a wing
Pushing to swim sans gills and swing
Pledged to get proficient
Inducted to get prominent
In the hand of solicitor
Mendicity to get away with the visitor

They said we're the vanguards of tomorrow
Yet they're boarding our trips to morrow
They said we'll sail the boat across the next day
Yet they're taking the paddle away
Trying to dive up from the sea
With the help of solicitor that is dragging one beneath for all to see

Alas! there's perturb at the backroom
Who will come sweep all with broom
The leaders among us?
That are full of themselves on horse?
Those that are playing cards of fake love?
Confusion of no conviction of self love.

One day we'll all look back
And we'll wish to be taken aback
But Elvis would have left the building
And there won't be any special rebuilding
It would be too late
To go back and open the gate

It's not too late to wake up
It's only a sin not to ever make up
The clarion call for you to heed
That may make some yield
You can decide to turn the deaf ear
And you can decide to hear.

Integration is here
To battle the differentiation there
That minus one
Can be plus one
And we'll all be happy
In the hall of bounty.

The Ocean

THE OCEAN
Wanted to swim across the ocean
Like every other man on the beach
But the vibe is not in the lotion
Which may tend to bleach

Never knew the depth
Before I dived too deep
Now I'm in debt
And it's a bit too late to weep

If you love you let it go
Theory out of the option
I can't even take a bow
The feeling is beyond attraction

It's late to call it a quit
But yet peace of mind I want
It's like I'm falling inside a pit
Yet my heart continue to pant

I want to preach the gospel
Without forsaking the rhyme
Draining all the sweetness of the apple
In the early days of my prime.

Birthday Present

_Happy birthday Fisayomie_Da_Poet_ 🎂🍾🎂🍾

MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO YOU ✍✍
 For two decades and three years that I have come to vegetate on this planet,I have come to substantiate that your immediate environment and calibers of friends you move with will ascertain how far your boat will sail on the sea of life. And I also realized that no one is responsible for your fiasco or your triumph, they can only give a helping hand but you yourself is the fulcrum of being successful or the other that takes you under the weather.

 This may not really present the image I'm viewing at the corner of my thought, so I'll shed more light by using myself as a case study.

 Exactly on the 24th day of July,2013, I fully left secondary school and all I was anticipating was the university education which comes immediately after secondary education. I thought the opportunity would just flow in just the way food flows into the mouth of an infant without knowing the input effort by his mother. But all wasn't, it was never the case of beautiful roses falling on the road side and I realized that after Elvis had left the building.

I was stranded for few years and I couldn't proceed, not until 2017 that I eventually gained admission into university, do you know what affected me? The caliber of friends I moved with. I see them around me everytime and they never told me what was happening was abnormality. This might not be your own case but might be close to that, either in the past or present.

But guess what, immediately I changed the caucus of friends I move with,I started seeing the front that was foggy initially. In no time I gained admission but it was really a bit late, imagine 2013 secondary school graduate gaining admission into university in year 2017, it's nothing to think about but a disaster.

 Watch yourself dutifully and absorb the kind of friends that would affect your life positively. It tells a lot on how you'll grow in time.

 If you cogitate and say *Fisayomie_Da_Poet* is unique and has edge over his surrounding, trust me, that's the effect of my immediate environment. _What is your immediate environment?_ These are people that you live to see every here and there and we call them immediate family, these are people that actually transmute me and force me to start seeing miles ahead.

Come to think of it, is that the type of your own immediate environment? If not, take to heel even if they're your biological environment and run to where you'll be saved.

Age is not on my side, age is not on your side, please never engage in what would add no value to you.

And lastly, read and digest this light poem

 check the road that leads to your house
 and see if your heart won't pounce
 check the way you're walking up
 and see if you're worthy to look up

 can you afford to fuck up?
 can you afford to lock up?
 if not, take to your heel
 and start climbing the hill.


Thanks
