HAVE YOU SEEN MY WORST?



As gentle as a dove 
Kind as a man so kind 
With your right attitude you blind
My perception of men
You care so much for me 
You were there when I was lonely 
Your giving mentality change mine 
You give like you are the richest in the world

Yet, you are not the richest in your family 
Your humble nature humbles the arrogant me 
You retaliate my wrongs with love 
Friends deserted you because of me 
No guy has ever treated me the way you do 
Sometimes I wonder if you are from this planet 
Because you are just a perfect definition 
of perfection 
You are a rare gem 
That's rare to come by:

These are the ways you describe me
But if things turn out and time change 
If I show you the human side of me, 
If you know the worst of me 
Will you still love me? 

Have you seen my worst? 
If my worst is known to you 
Will the adjectives still the same?

You are the talk of the town
 Because I'm your crown
Not because are a clown
If things change, will you still love me?

My six-packs
 Often get your heart hack
But if it all gone
Will you stay or step back?

I'm acting like a man from above
This often sparks your love
If my worst known to you
Will this love still be intact?
*****

Footnote
It is easy to boast that we love people when they are in their perfect state. But when things turn out and they act otherwise we revoke as if we were not the ones that have pledged to be there for them come rain, come shine. But the little mistake, we run.

This is just an indication that we have never love them in the first place. Love believes the best even in the face of seeming worst.

Let me hang my pen here, till we meet again next time.
Remember, keep being you and keep being good.

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...

 Is Love Selfish? Unpacking the Self-Centered Nature of Relationships The word selfishness is something most of us don’t usually pay attention to, especially when it comes to ourselves. We almost believe that everything is fine. And, in a way, it is. By default, every human is selfish. There is an adage in Yoruba that says, "If you give a hoe to a madman, he would gather the soil towards himself." That is, even a madman will consider himself before others. But that’s just by the way. Man is happy when he receives but it's otherwise when he gives. We all want to get but we don't want to give. When it is about us, we want it all done quickly, but if it's about others we don't care. Selfishness is the blood brother of stinginess. They are related, same family. I, me, and myself are their family parlance. The summary of human behaviour is self, and we engage in self-interest relationships . If all your life all you live for is self, you have not truly lived.  Ever...

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...
