HOUSE OF GREATNESS

Dear Lord, I am tired. Two steps forward, and somehow, two steps back. I do not have the strength to keep fighting for what will never be mine. So give me the strength to let go. To stop worrying about what they will think. Dearest, I hope you know I was patient. When you showed no interest, I told myself one day you would. When you spoke, I held on to every word. All I ever wanted was to exist in a space where you were free to be yourself and let me be part of it. Dearest, you never chose me. You never will. And now, I finally know that. Dear Lord, why do I still hold on to hope? Why do I make a fool of myself for something so clear? Take this burden from me. Dearest, this is my goodbye. And I will not apologize for it, because I know you will never fight for me. May your days be filled with happiness. Dear Lord, give me strength of mind to stand firm in difficult decisions. Give me resilience so I do not go back. ...

The one thing I never got right  Friends  How to make them  How to keep them  Or how to be chosen by them  The one mistake I never could solve  Friends How to put myself before others How to let go when it hurts  How to have the courage to say what I feel  The one thing I kept accepting  Friends  How they keep me on a leash short enough  To stay  But not long enough to be me  How they pretend to be real  But are wolves in sheep clothing  The one friendship that broke my heart  No. 1116 If only I was brave enough to say  What I felt  To leave when you didn’t chose me  To refuse to come second when I put you first  But oh,  The heart wants what it wants  Who can understand it  Friends If only I could master that  But you; You were never just a friend And maybe that Was the mistake I never knew how to fix

 I am learning to unlove  A broken pot cannot be mended  I used to believe in love  Bt tht was before I washed my eyes  To see my sad reality  A disgrace lyk no other  A lonely soul Never with remorse  Quick to the fists  And rotten in speech  I don't want to love  Becoz I will only hurt  I used to hv dreams dreams of having a family of my own  Dreams of being in love  Bt I don't want those dreams anymore  I want to bi me  I hv a fear  A fear of hurting the one I love  And so  I choose not to love  For if I love  I'll hurt  And tht's the only thing tht hurts  I cry myself to sleep  I take long walks in the dark  I listen to soothing music  I eat too much  I frown and think  All to let this pain go  This pain which is my new soul  I don't believe in love  So don't fall for mi 😂 If she calls mi  And tells mi she loves mi  I'l...

Keeping is caring! But it turns out we are not keeping For i hear from a distance the cry of no care She cries and sobes all day and night Waiting for hope but despair answers to her doorstep, The life of the poor infant has moved from a joyous place to unquestionable misery . Why has this happened to the innocent child ? Child marriages have become an anthem across the globe,  Yes! Children have become sex slaves so to speak. For allowing your own child to get married at a tender age is clearly selling your child to hungry lions to prey on her! Doing this in pursuit of money.  Money itself being the root of all evil,  Even the ancient words which are ever true deny this gesture of madness. Child marriage is child murder. Child marriage is child massacre. Child marriage is child trafficking. Child marriage is child assassination,destroying your own child's future ,crushing and eradicating her *God* given nature,for even mother nature denies such gesture of a dictat...

I thought about you Then I met you I thought we were friends Bt I was only a distraction I always waited Bt u never showed up Enough is enough I say to my mind I took a french leave And excomunicado I went A few hrs later I could not bear I returned to an appluase Grt u said Don't leave again u whispered And a way u disappeared I ghosted u Bt my mind didn't every memory always fresh lyk the tears tht roll down my cheeks I hv to be strong It's not meant to bi I whisper to my heart It beats faster then whispers back Can we handle!  It will leave mi broken  And I agree Then the brain to the heart: let's give one more chance And so we wait Am still waiting today with hope tomorrow hopeless Bt stronger I wait How much longer till I give up?

 The truth we hide  Some where behind  that big tall dark door  firmly locked  in the dark inner corner  you only know  it's the truth u can't let loose  ur insurance for tomorrow  ur fear tht you fear  it's who you are that you lock  the truth we hide  when I let them in  what's in the dark corner  they ask  I close my ears  and choose not to hear anything  the truth we hide  in the place we feel safe  when any attempts to unlock  the hidden  we call it quits  and soon it ends  To the truth I hide  leave mi alone  Be no more part of mi  for I can't hide u anymore  I hv ripped my friendships  all for you  I hv told lies all for u  No More  TO THE TRUTH I HIDE  I WILL SET U FREE  😎🤓IMANI YOVANI

To the one I ghosted I didn't mean to But I had to It hurt me to do so  But if I didn't  it would hurt harder  I gave u my time  And u took it for granted  thought it to be a mere joke  But still I gave u my time   u talked to me only  when u felt like  only when u wanted to  we laughed and giggled  spent all time happy Bt u still only saw me as a joke  A joke in times of boredom A person to speak to  when you can't speak to anyone  To the one I ghosted I didn't mean to  Bt I had to  It hurt me  bt I had to To the one I ghosted  hear what I say  I didn't mean to ghost u  Bt I had to  For my sake I had to If only u will understand then maybe  I will un-mute myself  and talk to u  To the one I ghosted  😎🤓MANI YOVANI

Bloodshed all over! hear the noise of guns, Alongside bomb explosions. Demolition, devastation and plundering of property, Ravaging, ruining and desolating nature, Human mass slaughter, merciless torture All in the name of peacekeeping, All in the mad search for weapons of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction are not in the crevices and dungeons of Iran and Iraq, Weapons of mass destruction are in the heart. Hatred is a weapon of mass destruction,  For a spoon in the hand of an enemy is much deadlier than a nuclear bomb in the hand of a friend. Power hunger is a weapon of mass destruction, Selfishness is a weapon of mass destruction. Tribalism is a weapon of mass destruction, Racism is a weapon of mass destruction. Grudges are weapons of mass destruction, Jealousy is a weapon of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction are not made of metals and chemicals, Weapons of mass destruction are not harbored in the armory of a country somewhere, Weapons of mass destruction a...

CORRUPTION! CORRUPTION! CORRUPTION! Corruption what an epidemic on our nation! Slowly but surely eating up the nation Looming every institution Hospitals, universities, colleges, ministries, name it all No service without payment wherever you go The poor getting poorer each day The rich getting richer in everyway Corruption, a cancer in our nation Corruption based on the fatal virus money Money worshipped, blinding the politicians and the saints Filling the civil servants round pot-bellies The judiciary not spared by the virus either Misjudging to judge due to corruption The police policing real corruption in operations As crime grows and criminals worshipped! Corruption growing as the next generation watches Shameless the old grooming the young, into corruption Leading by example of corrupt scandals Corrupt elections, corrupt tenders, corrupt leaders Poor salaries, UMEME blackouts, Drugless hospitals Pot-holed roads, Poor services name it man,...

I want to go back to school for here my heart is Forlorn, I want to go back to school where I can find my love for books. Where I can find my People, Where I can together with books With friends clucking by my bedside like chicken   I want to go back to school for here meaning is lost, I want to go back to school where my muscles stretch over the desks, Teachers’ voices screaming all over the class Providing sense into my brains, Learning and gaining confidence in my heart   I want to go back to school; here all roots are rotting, I want to go back to school, Where deep in the books, I run after the good performance I want to go back to school, where I will wade in water bathe in knowledge. Dance at the achievement and pray to the sky.  

Children learn what they live If children live with criticism They learn to condemn If children live with hostility They learn to fight If children live with fear They learn to be apprehensive If children live with pity They learn to feel sorry for themselves If children live with ridicule They learn to be shy If children live with jealousy They learn what envy is If children live with shame They learn to feel guilty If children live with tolerance They learn to be patient If children live with encouragement They learn to be confident If children live with praise They learn to appreciate If children live with approval They learn to like themselves If children live with acceptance They learn to find love in the world If children live with recognition They learn to have a goal If children live with sharing They learn to be gracious If children live with honesty and fairness They learn what truth and justice are If children liv...

In addition to the planning methods you have, I would like to recommend a system of setting priorities which is called, the activity matrix. In this matrix, we try to show people from different work spaces how to put first things first. How do you set priorities?  Read ahead and learn how it works and try it out. It consists of four quadrants, Q1 to Q4 as illustrated below. What is important and urgent to one person may not be for everyone. You are free to set up your own according to your situation. Important and urgent, Q1 This is called the fire fighting quadrant. You deal with a problem as though you are fighting a fire. If you do not, the fire will burn you up. It is about issues which if not dealt with will attract immediate consequences. This happens to all of us. There are times when we deal with stuff as it comes or according to the pressure with which it comes. In this quadrant, you are driven by pressure in order to act. These are activities where you cannot help it. You...

Partial Obedience or Total Obedience, what would you prefer? God our creator requires us so totally submit ourselves to Him and wholeheartedly worship him living no room for anything to take the place of God in our lives. The Bible in Exodus says Do not worship idols. "(Exodus 20:5)" Idols are anything that take the place of God in your life or anything that you prefer to do before taking time to concentrate on God. An idol could be house chores or even just a newspaper, anything you are addicted to. A fellow human being can become your idol. You can also make an idol of yourself by putting your belief in either yourself or any other human being. This happens when we attribute our success to ourselves forgetting that God is the most important part of the equation. Turning to mortals (fellow men and women) in times of need and basing our trust in them to solve our challenges is another form of idolatry.   Today we are looking at total submission to God, surrendering ever...
