!!!! ATTENTION NEEDED!!!!
Please treat as urgent as possible. The above statement of result is an evidence of my successful graduation from medical school. I am appealing to all your sense of tender compassion and pity. I have been unable to raise money and do my MDCN registration up till now which will be a guarantee for me to collect my license to practice as a doctor of which the induction and oath taking ceremony will take place on the 16th of July. My source of financing has crashed and I have been rendered bankrup...
IS THERE ANY DEVIL?
Unseen, Yet seen through works. Seen, Yet invisible. Within all lies hidden pure evil. Devil lives in everything mortal; And shall come to an end. If I can't see him — the devil — that is invisible, unmnifest, It is my very self. It's within me —unseen, unmnifest— That imagination, instincts within, Is the very God, Devil within all. If I see him —the devil— Then it is of another that I think of as evil lest I go blind, irresolute though greater evil from friends, acqua...
TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE
To whom should you be beholden? Friends today enemy tomorrow Enemies today, friends tomorrow. All that is new is flash and attractive and likely to be embraced by all. New disease take the world by storm and amount higher death tolls; swelling out new knowledge, safety tips until it becomes old. Not really old but old in fashion as humanity grows accustomed to it due to its long acquaintance, so it grows old and becomes old in fashion. Reserve some of your attention for that which is old for ...
IT'S NEVER LATE! 3
All the years of sojourning on earth, Though has not paid off, Still hold the promise. With hope, comes the light. And the light gives Life. Worry not over the outcome of the past. As gloomy as may be, With it holds the keys of the portals of the future. For the past (history) unchanged, is the porter through the gateway to the future. So, spend your now (time) well. Tomorrow is but unredeemable of the past, history unchanged. Thus, redeem the future of unchanged past, now in the present; R...
IT'S NEVER LATE! 2
It's never late to be grate. So, Start where you are; That's your reference point. Life begins at 50 for the late risers. 50, the midcentury is but a magic turn for some. 50: It marks the end of youth and the beginning of the second youth towards the elderly. So, “why grow old”—in wits, ideas, activity..? You’re as old as you feel so; as you mentally perceive of yourself to be. Age is just a number! For it’s never never late to be great—to do something impactful and meaningful unto...
IT'S NEVER LATE!
I thought of it all ! IT'S NEVER LATE; TO BE GREAT! NEVER NEVER LATE Greatness, all within without. Greatness within reach, yet can't be reached. Delay, not derailment. For delay is not Denial. Early to rise, early to greatness. Early to rise, early to shine. Late to rise, still to greatness. It’s never late to be great. So, start where you are! Not too young to run. Not too old to. Not being too old enough to set for yourself new goals. For age is psychical, mental. As you perceiv...
Reason and Passion
Passion with reason, the balance to steer in every affair lest we be driven like a reed in the storm; a mental puppet to the opinions of others. Too much passion leads to error; over zealousness, ambitions -- extremism Too much of Reason leads to stillness, inaction, over judging, caution. The fool dies of both: passion and reason at their extreme. As such, all wisemen are fools because they die of too much of the brain (reason). And all that is foolishness die out of their passion (too much ...
BE STILL
Permit yourself some free fall. Sometimes free fall under gravity gets your feet to a safe landing. Struggling to break a fall, displaces our balance, the equilibria of the force of gravity thus, dispositioning us, and while falling, we break a limb. Sometimes we put in our best to change fate, alter course, but it only proves null and void. That investment that brought forth a loss, push not further...Lest greater woes in trying to redeem, salvage. At moments of a loss... we become more emo...
THE SYMBOL OF LOVE
Love is magic: Can make the temporal, fleeting everlasting, eternal in impression and the eternal temporal, fleeting. Love can immortalize the ordinary and make that which is legendary, heroic ordinary. Where, when love is, emotions lead and reason, judgement, logic fades. Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise. In short, Love turns fools into wise men and turns wise men into fools. Love tames dragons into ants and can transform a humanoid into a superhuman. Love can make...
KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE 3
Life is full of uncertainties and the sons of men full of shortcomings. Who has not erred, who has no shortcoming? And the spy, frenemy, Villain is always on the watch. To strike when we least expect; to put us off guard. As Judas would betray Jesus with a Holy Kiss. To court the Master Himself to betrayal. To err is human but sometimes the slightest err is grave at times of dire necessity when precision and near perfection is what it takes to survive the moment. Keep watch of those carryin...
BE CULTURED AND BE REFORMED
Culture and reform; what makes the human humane. Born an outlaw, culture grooms and makes the patriot. Culture reforms to a loyal citizen. Born a villain, Barbarian, Only culture will nurture; Only culture will reform. Man is instinctively barbaric. only culture and reform makes him human. Without culture, without reform, Man is a prowling beast roaming in the wild; on the streets in every nook. Without culture and without reform; Man is an intolerable monster; a beast to perish. Heading ...
BE A MASTER OF THE MOMENT
Master the moment, a relic of the wise in keeping with all and losing none. We fought while together. Now we love each other at a distance. Absence keeps the heart pondering. And distance is not a barrier, keeping the heart longing; for a reunion. Some are better friends, loved at a distance and will make great enemies at close proximity. Those who cherish each other at a distance might become great enemies when put close to each other. Be a man of the moment, to seize the opportunity in...
KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE 2
You will never walk alone, For you are never alone; with the good, with the evil one. There are those who are part of you, who watch over you; to gaurd, protect; to spy and to harm by reason of an opportunity. So, keep a watchful eye. You may see, you may not see. You may see ye not perceive. You may see yet never understand You might perceive, discern yet without seeing; the sixth sense; the muse: The angel of thy birth standing by thy side. By blind is being led by sight alone. ...
GO TO WORK IDLE MINDS
Go to work idle minds. For nothing is more promising than an idle mind drifting in a sea of vast thoughts with vague ambitions. They who work not, but count they the reward as if it were the fruit of their labour, effort. They count the chicks from the eggs yet to hatch. They count the fruits on trees flowering. They make harvest while the fields are still blossoming. They wait, scarcely knowing in what direction they wait... Suddenly the occasion arises which gives everyone the opportunity...
KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE 1
Keep a watchful eye; as if you are asleep. This is the best time to see. To feign deep sleep; then nothing hides, everything is laid bare as if none is looking when all have gone to sleep. These are moments when nature releases its best, worst; when all have retired and fast asleep in indolence, ignorance having eaten, drunk to their fill and think nothing more is left. The heftiest of bird, beast, fly, crawl out of the burrow when all is quiet not to attract notice. To this end the Son of man...
LOOK BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE
Look beyond what you see. Not to the extreme lest passion makes us blind without reason. Nothing drives a man to error like passion which takes away his reasoning. Not too driven and not too still but a balance of the drive and being still is the harmony and the co-ordination. Look beyond what you see, Not with too much reverence lest you become an enemy of the truth out of your very obsession driven by passion which takes away reason. Look beyond what you see, not with too much ridicule lest...
KEEP AN OPEN DOOR
Keep an open door for entry and exit. A portal is a two dimensional way for both entry and exit. Never close the door thinking you have had enough. The eyes are never fed up seeing neither the ears tired of hearing if you allow these. To those who sever long term relationship, offering their arm at length, restrain thy arm; withhold your arm in peace and never lend out your arm to fight to the fullest to inflict revenge out of anger. For anger drives us mad if not controlled and soon into the...
THE TWISTS OF FATE
Fate twists. And fortune take turns, changing sides. For better, for worse. For none is all fortunate, unfortunate. There are lucky days alternating with unlucky ones likewise times and seasons. Fortune favours the daring, bold in their escapades then soon grow jealous and envious of its prodigy; how colossal their achievements, odds to their favour in time, per time. It then develop wings and takes flight, leaving plight in sight. And within seconds, it switch sides. The triumphant hero so...
THE POWER OF THE UNSPOKEN WORD
Power that is unspoken, Yet written. The unspoken word, Yet written, It defines, re-defines, makes and breaks. The diary, few in words and small in size, Yet the arbiter in dire moments. It embroids and shreds. If I will, but no one knows what I have willed into to being thousands of years to come. Let me put it down into a diary. Thousands of years to come when the bones of our bodies turn dust, only the diary: the unspoken word written would speak and thus rewrite, edit, re-edit, make the ...
GOD THE INFINITE
Beyond our knowledge is our ignorance. Beyond what we see, feel, smell, touch lies the vast infinite UNKNOWN. That's the existence of God (the) UNKNOWN. The more we discover of the vast UNKNOWN (INFINITY), the more towards GOD (INFINITY) we go; the more we hunger and yet to know, the more the vast emptiness (ambition, hunger for knowledge) of the UNKNOWN fills the soul and the crave drives to breakthrough ignorance of the UNKNOWN. None can prove that He exists and none can prove He doesn't ex...
THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER
“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” LK 8:5-8 (NKJV) God is the sower and all of creation are the seeds (to be) sown. The s...
PREVAIL
Without commitment, we will never start. Without consistency, we will never finish. And without relentlessness, we will never accomplish. For "more important than the number of falls that we have in life is how fast and strong we get back on our feet." Many give up, not knowing that success was just an inch within their reach. They quit too soon. When ambition, determination fail to drive, Let your resolve take the wheel. All is, "keep going." So, "Let go of whatsoever that will...
TOWARDS INFINITY
Physics has replaced God with constant (the Unknown, Infinity) which is changeless, timeles, ageless. A particle approaching (towards) infinity, the unknown... a region where it can neither be seen, felt, touched. You can be standing on the particle, closer to it than ever; unknown, beyond the five senses. For you will never know about it sensorily. Terms such as permeativity of free space connotes the infinity of space; Great Vastness, Bare emptiness, Void. What's the free space; the Void, n...
RHYMES AT THE RIVER BANK
Hip hip hip hip Not by lip to heap a hype Is it a Hippo? It's looking out, to pip and to rip the field of the yield. To glean it clean. A big Hippo, Like a heap upon which to reap, Lest, we go weeping; of the gleaning of the field. Hip, hip, hip, hip ... Hippopotamus(es). Running, turning while churning the field. Taking a turn to run it through in circles. Just keep repeating the cycle. Just be peeping, From the hide out from the hideous. Lest you come running huffy and puffy. It will b...
WHAT WE REALLY ARE 2
What we really are, The real "I", comes from within Thus, that which comes from within us (me, you), Comes from the very centre within (the seat of the soul). And that's the real "I" (you). Whatsoever takes over our imagination has become an idol, the very master of the self (ego, esteem, activity, personality. Whatsoever takes over our time has become a god unto us. Our very own god. Now, choose whom ye shall serve. Are you holding into pain, worry, fear, chagrin... Or thoughts o...
WHAT WE REALLY ARE
Who are you? What we really are, By race, gender, family, economic level, work... If I put away all these label, tags, the real me, (you); that's the "I" still stands. And that's what we really are. Deep from the centre within. Our perceptions, thoughts... They create our own personality. Thus,the book of Proverbs puts it: "guard your heart with all diligence. For that's where LIFE springs from." What we think, we become. What we see, Is that which we really a...
GOD
God the visible invisible. God the invisible visible. He is visibly invisible; seen yet, we can't see Him. He is invisibly visible; unseen yet, is seen. In everything yet, in no a thing; nothing. Is everywhere yet, nowhere with no a place. Cos no a thing, place can contain Him. #poetry #My2025onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #newsfeeds #nirclestories #storyteller #quoteoftheday #followme @philism
THE MORTAL
There is no limit to what the mortal can do, be and have. They only limit is the mind and death. Mortal death, is death of the mind within then, the body without. #poetry #My2025onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #newsfeeds #nirclestories #storyteller #quoteoftheday #followme @philism
WHAT I SEE
What I see, But it isn't it. It's my very own reflection as within. Yet, I know it not. It's my very thoughts that I saw, The very reflexes of my mental state. My Will,the indwelling self is at war with me. Through people, environment... When am at peace, harmony It all seems without. When am at war, chaos... within It all seems without. I think, how evil, good, lovely...is And it all seems. My very self act out to confront. All I saw in return, chaos. All I see, is nothing but all that i...
WHAT I THINK
What I think, It's what I see. And What I see Soon becomes my thinking. The world is to everyone of his individual perception, And men, but a reflex of their mental state. As He thinketh in his heart, So is he. Men are but the product of their very own thoughts. As within, So without. #poetry #My2025onnircle #nircleblogpost #hellonircle #neighbour #poetrychapbook #nirclepoetrycommunity #notes #newsfeeds #nirclestories #storyteller #quoteoftheday #followme @philismpoems
LIFE IS A SCHOOL
Life is a school. The school of Life. And the Universe, Is its University. Life teaches us great lessons in its school The solar worlds the classroom. And we are the very teachers and students of one another. The experiences, stories that connects us, make up the courses and the syllabuses: wars, peace, persecution, tribulation, pain, suffering, death, triumph, defeat... All inspire, motivate, portray big lessons to be learnt, taught... Are we learning from one another or from the invisible...
LIFE IS A DRAMA
Life is a drama. And God is the creator. Every creature has a role; and we are the very actors in the theatre (the solar world). Everything that is made, not a single thing is out of purpose: wars, persecution, peace, tribulation, pain, suffering, death... Evil is a mere perception of the ego. Everything howsoever its individual valuation is ( good, bad, evil...) Is integral in the Infallible Divine scheme. For there is time for everything ( in purpose, person, place, circumstance...) u...
THINK AGAIN
Think again. Open your heart to wisdom, For it is profitable to direct us all. Who is a friend? Who is an enemy? Only, but the moments of time Tell it all. Time does not lie. They that plan patiently with time, shall not fail, They are eternal years ahead while their peer think they are miles ahead by reacting to constraints and phenomena. Friends become enemies, And enemies turn friends. The best of all are the true enemies who never change. The worst of all are them who are envious fri...
DON'T BE COMMON
Not in the class of the common. Not (of) the public show. These, as hyped as they may be, is just beheld ordinary and common, And would never be revered. For common things occur commonly, likewise the ordinary. For all things for a show are just common. And all that is public contemptuous and scornful. Never be in the class of the common. Never be in for a public show. These, avoid it all. Both in kind and character. There are some men, genius but ordinary and common outwardly and they neve...
WHO ARE YOU?
Don't be a Persian, Egyptian, Assyrian to a Jew Neither a Jew before these. To the Jew, be a Jew To the Egyptian, be an Egyptian. To the Persian, Assyrian be like them, as all of them would be, do. Never be a stranger in the midst of a people. There are some men whose peculiarity has labelled them vain nonetheless they are a better kind. So, do as the Romans, Persian, Jews...do. And never be the suspicion people are looking for by living differently; As a Jew in Persia nor a Cyraenean in in ...
DO WE REALLY CHANGE?
Time is marked by how we perceive changes in events. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Past, Present and Future. Do we really change? Or we are aging? Time is an illusion, Just the way we perceive the events that take place. There is neither past nor future. It's a matter of human perception that makes it so to mark events, age. We don't really change. We are the very ones we were, are and would ever be; Adapting to changes in events and taking new temperaments... And coming up with new ideas......
WHO DO YOU SERVE?
The world was in harmony Till the creation of money. Man made money, Money makes man. The creator is at the will of the creature. And man, the sculptor engraves, Bowing down in worship to the graven image, The work of his very own hands; Of wood, metal and of earth. Which is the god? Mammon or God? Mammon enters List with God. And earth is aghast. Who do you serve? Mammon or God? Choose whom ye shall serve! You can't be in servitude to two masters. Man, Of a lofty quest, Of a vagu...
WHEN LIFE TAKES...
When Life takes... For what sake? All is at stake And All in awe, never getting beyond wonder, ponder and amazement. Sudden death of one scares us all. And makes the heart to ponder. But more than meets the eye; Is the birth of the beautiful, great. And most often overlooked, neglected, flawed, overshadowed by grief for the loss of the living. The beautiful, great ones are yet to be born. Are being born, Are yet to be born, And would be born again and again. From time immemorial till time et...
NOT IN THE CONSPIRACY
Not in the propaganda, Not in the community slander. Not in the idleness of the mob. Get out of these. For idleness never gets beyond gossiping, rumour mongering, conspiracy, folly, ignorance and eavesdropping. Never Soil yourself. In slanderous statements, abstain. In verses of the propaganda, keep away. Only hypocrites aim to destroy others in an attempt to build a name and exalt themselves. Brethren you don't become by throwing dust at others, it boomerangs and makes you the more d...
ON MY NEED TO BELIEVE
On my need to believe, I was lead, I was played. Belief does not necessarily make it so. What we most often call belief is a change of our perception. Those with genuine minds are always played over by the ingenuine at heart. For the same measure of belief we give to the truth is the same measure given to that not true. So, many ingenuine minds play over the genuine. While belief in the truth makes one better, belief in that which is deception, manipulation makes one sorrowful, regretful. T...
