Truth is Sacrosanct

Aged one
'Sometimes true joy is found in simple things of life.' the aged man almost sighed.
He couldn't understand. His confusion was evident on his face. He had to ask, 'Uh, what are the simple things of life?'
His grandmother took time to say, 'simple things of life? You will not agree with me, my son, when I say them.'
He said, 'Who am I not to agree with. You grey hair, mother, is unarguably blooming wisdom. I am only blind not to respect them.'
'Okay,' she said. 'These simple things of life are:giving to the poor even though they can't give you back; loving those who despise you; saying sorry even to those who hurt you; helping those who have let you down; blessing those who abuse you; my dear, responding positively to life even if it is not fair. By these, you can live long and enjoy life....'

Time...
Time is not just an entity of nature, from endless past been
A space in which dusk and dawn are constrained
On the wing on which seasons fly and reality burns under sun
Glimmer of future from the darkness of past our present radiate our virtue
But into history memory of old flows
And having lost the track of ancient shadow, only to look foreward to what is none;
However, Time is a ripple on the water from which our souls drink breath of life.
Time is in you, dont be constrained by space.
Express the genius in you
By which you leave your earthly reality to decay
After all is said and done
Ur very trail of kindness bide you farewell.

Necessary Evil
Hero is not necessarily a saint, neither saint an Hero. If little evil necessarily require to overcome larger evil, then how do we place The action of à Hero. A saint ? Or if with à tender heart, we avoid little evil to allow larger evil to destroy The Land, cause hunger and death of infants... Then Hero don't necessarily be à Saint as long general good surpasses all.

Unity
Common threat unite us. What do I mean? A Yorba man can fight a fellow Yorba man but if they are attacked by a fulani, they fight the common threat together.
If a Yorba man and a Fulani meets in a foreign land and are attacked by Indian or Chinese, even a Caucasian, they unite to find the enemy.
And also if the earth is invaded by aliens, that is when, across all race, we speak one language. Colour, Creed and religion matters not as we fight the common threat.
Then let's ask ourselves, should we wait till a common threat before we are United? No, we should always be one. I love you, whether you are black or white.

Lover
Flickering flame from wick palm oil lamp at the wooden window sill illuminate the moonlight-dimly room. The whistle of crispy wind could be heard from distance. The iroko tree against which the little house rest, from thence thus sing the birds of time-shadow. Against all hope....There they cuddle in lover mood while corporal instinct was keen yet lust was not able to lord over them in the still of the night. Silence was enough for speech, flickering eyelid for sight, cause in closed eyes is earnest dream possible.
