EVERYBODY WANTS MY LIFE

By Lex Posimi

The judge threatened;
You will go for a LIFE imprisonment.
It could have been another thing…
But why LIFE?

The Imam just said;
Give your LIFE to Allah,
Aljaanah will be yours.
I just can’t understand. Why LIFE?

My wife expects me to live my LIFE for her,
This is more confusing.
I wish someone could just tell me,
Why my LIFE?

Jesus wants me to give my LIFE to him
Well, at this juncture,
I’m just too tired to argue.
Christ, please have it

The thief bursts in,
Your money or your LIFE?
But wait!
What on earth is it with you people and my LIFE?

Hey Mr. thief!
You came way too late,
As i don’t have a penny and check up there,
I just gave my LIFE to Christ

I just can’t give my LIFE to everybody that asks,
Well i got tired and gave it to Christ.
I just hope that in the end,
It will be well worth it.

THE PARABLE OF ISOLATION

By
PARABLE OF ISOLATION Here we are With untold stories: Stories scarring our inner minds, Uncertainties fill our hearts. The intensity of our mood grows.  We were told to stay safe at home But we seem not to be doing enough. Today isn't assured Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Coronavirus, the fear giver We reverence you in sacred dread A hand enveloped in the pocket  Sanitizer in the other. The visitor that takes over houses In the presence of the house owners. We walk on the streets in dread  The fear of meeting the giver of discomfort The fear of entering that forbidden house That house where solitude is celebrated That house, home of isolation. The fear of meeting the multiplier of troubles. Stay safe if you don't want to be isolated. Here we are Uncertain of what happens next  Oh ye plague! We await your eternal demise.

                     This is not a piece of discouragement to those who depends on or trust inspirational books, speeches or videos as source of inspiration, but it is to open our eyes to the realities of our existence and to help us discover and unveil our divine intellect,capabilities and abilities . Circumstances, occurrences and situations(Good or Bad) that can be traced and attached to our livelihood(Our existence) are the things that make us up, they define us and they make up what we call our lives. Why are we human beings if our individual lives can not inspire us, many of us depends on other people' words or speech to inspire our own life, but majority of us having listened to, seen or read inspirational materials still fails to change ,we hear and read but it has no visible effect(s) on our lives, we are not living it.
