A GOODWILL MESSAGE
May I most humbly write to
congratulate you and further express my profound admiration and appreciation of
your kind gesture to the good people of your constituency through empowerment
programme payment of bursary allowance etc.
Indeed by this very fact, you have
not only demonstrated your time representation but have proven that there is
always light at the end of every turned. We have never had it so well and good.
Bravo! Kudos!! Congrats!!!
May the good Lord strengthen the
sources of your income in Jesus name –Amen.
Please accept the assurances of my
esteemed regards.
AN ELEGY TO A BROTHER
Death! Death!! Death!!!
Thou art cruel, and thou art wicked!
You are by no means daring,
dangerous and dangling. What are there? What exactly is your mission on earth?
Whose interest do you represent? Perhaps, and I guess, you are everything
everybody thinks you are.
In the words of Abdul Wahab, you are
likened to oceans of waters, dancing naked to the horizon beyond the slight
none along with around, only the eternal sun rays, dimly reflecting towards the
heavenly sky, on this mysterious mystic level, death floats, only conscious of
its being, super sufficient needless nimble num, he talks a voyage unknown
infinite from a definite point, and takes pleasure inward that there is no end,
it is like missing form the materials and becoming a being of anti-dialectic,
an absolute free entity.
