I had wanted to continue from where i stopped as regards the happenings in Ekiti and other states in Nigeria, but my senses have been benumbed by the pace of events in the past week.Somehow, my opinions seems to have been overtaken too..so i will just sit back, post a poem i wrote on a day i was thinking about the futility of all these....and visit blogs! But before i leave, i would want to ask this question!
Should we accept the foisting of illegalities as typified by the blatant disregard for the constitution each time a governor is impeached just because we are fed of with the corruption of our public officials?Think about it and tell me what your opinion is.
Its a pity those Chelseans won....Sad,Sad day for Barcelona! But i believe they would get their pound of flesh from Chelsea at the Nou Camp...Think about this piece of poetry..
RIGHTEOUSNESS
What gains our righteousness?
If the sound of death's toll
Confirm not the redemption of our soul
But rather our life's uselessness
If we pretend to be
Then confess not our dark deeds
And sow not good seeds
Then our filthiness we do not see
'Tis the liason in the dark alley
Or that silent little deceit
That calls for retribution's visit
And exposes our life's folly
What gains our righteousness?
If we tarry for the Coming
On a bright celestial morning
And then be found wanting for holiness?
Endi
