So Cold



So cold the night is to those who have no home.
To those who sleep under tables and in front of a shop they still call home.
To those who suck breast milk under the supervision of the moon.
To those who don’t hear their own voices even when they cry for help.
So cold the night is.

At dusk; the night before they begin their task
They prepare themselves for the sweat they’d have to wipe off their rough faces.
The pimples they had from improper care of the skin serve as gutters for the very salty sweat of failure that gallops down their dignity.
With their children behind them, they scream.
Not asking for help, but offering it.
They lay their pride down for the unexpected to walk on.
And still show respect after being disrespected.

So cold the day to these ones.
These ones who carry pans of distress and head out with their heads down.
These ones who eat of the fruit of their labor and never get satisfied.
These ones who give up on life to be given a life.
So cold the day is.

To they that cry.
They that die.
They who teach themselves to survive.
They who are deprived.

So cold...

NO CREATIVITY ALLOWED

If you think some people are born creative and you're not one of them, think again. What makes some people more creative than others is that they nurture their creativity. In fact, experts say that creativity is primarily a learned skill . And like any other skill you want to learn, it requires that you put in some hard work and effort. It's not enough to just want to be creative--it takes daily dedication to push yourself into original thoughts and expressive ideas. Too often, though, the biggest thing standing in the way may be your own habits. Here eight of the worst creativity killers. If you recognize them in your life, cut them out now.

ON THE MIC 2

When words dance to unheard tunes on the lines of your sheet, As you breathe life onto them, death suffers defeat. The urge to bring the page to stage stirs. Then the cares of life we share moves from despair into repair. Our efforts are not useless. When we stand before the crowd and allow words to spill from our reserve; we deserve an applause. And still, we seek to preserve - Preserve our names behind the blue and red wires of the microphone. Our images are printed behind every stanza, verse and line. We refuse to be beaten, Every handiwork is fine. We tell our stories from the bottom of our hearts, So there's meaning in every line-it's a replica of our hearts. When we're on the mic, things happen. When we're on the mic, we happen. Revelation Poet ©2016 http://revelationpoet.blogspot.com Like my Facebook page too: Revelation Poet #CWC #PoetryBankGroup

90 MINUTES OF LIFE

1st min The whistle was blown when the doctor yelled ''push!''. The pass was given when the nurse cut the umblical cord. Free kick Ouch Blood everywhere, So I won a free kick. This game just started ''bloodily'' I was the ball, They played me from half to half. So they called me ''bouncing baby boy''. Ignorant of the insults I rained on them, they smiled while I shed tears. They said, ''This baby is from Heaven''. I agreed. Cos the door I came through was very narrow; so I came head first. Dribbling. They kept me in a sac called amiotic. Waiting for me to join the statistic. But 45mins into the game, I became artistic. Wanting the best in life made me optimistic. Half time. Talk with my God. Where do I go? How do I go? When do I go? 2nd half. Good job Good wife Good children. That's all I need. Final minutes. Now, they play me in the 18yard box. Ready to kick me into the wood-like net. ...
