TRAUMATIZE


Rape


she was stripped of her dignity
By men of moral decadence 
She kept mute,
And live to see all men as evil
She bled in her heart of hearts 
But knew no one to confide in
Because to her all are evil
To her life is unpleasant 
To her God is unfair:

To have allowed her to be victims of evil
Unfair, to have even watched them laughing her to scorn
Unfair, not to have  erased them with thunder, 
Even while they were perpetrating the evil
Even she arraigned herself in a costly garment; 

She's naked as far as she's concern
She's mean to all men
 Even to her blood brother
Why this hatred against your own kind? 
But she wouldn't talk
Yet,  she's pained

Once a lively girl,  now arrogant and hurt
What demons possess her?
No one knew because she's mute
Yet,  she's Pained 
Hurting girl hurt

 She was sobered, cried without tears. 
Asked Many questions with words un-utter
Lost friends,
The family enjoy her no more 
She was pained but she wouldn't talk! 

She wouldn't talk because :
Of emotional trauma, 
the stigma that hangs around it
The shame of losing one dignity to many rods at a moment
Hence the eternal grudges against men.

MY LOCAL FRIEND

                                                               We started this series last week when we talked about ‘lessons from a game of football.’ The capsule overview of last week post is the fact that in a game of football they have a common goal, which is to win. And we established that if at all victory would be their friend then there is a need for them to work as a team. Here is a personal experience shared by a very good friend of mine: I have many friends both in my town and neighboring town. Some of them are educated while some are not. There was a time I went for a conference outside my town. I met new friends at the conference whose exposure transcend some of my friends at home. I needed to get their contacts but both my subscriber identity module (SIM) and phone storage were completely full. A thought c...

SEEDS

I remember when I started teaching as a side hustle. I didn't really take it serious. The first student I encountered,  just walk up to me for asistance, and I taught him at no cost. The last time I met him, he is already a graduate. After I graduated from the university I taught in one, two, three or four places. But those seeds I sowed then jokingly have become trees, I mean  big trees. Just last month I met two of my students in one of the reputable university in Nigeria; one is studying Chemical engineer and the other Computer science. Those were the one I taught between 2017 and 2018. Some of the students I taught between 2015 and 2016 had graduated from universities while some are in their final year. Some of my students are still in secondary schools and they are doing fine. I have students that are not in school but follow their passion either as singers, comedian, etc. and they are as well doing fine. Why am I telling you this? Is it for show, or perhap...

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply.  When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t.  When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...
