Smile Took Over...

Smile went for a mile

Loaded with a spirit of guile

A kingdom that was to last

Its end was witnessed fast

Smile had packaged lust

The weapon to the kingdom's oust

She had all the power

Even turning sweet to sour

The king with all his might

To her, he restricted not his sight

She displayed herself with ease

Strong reactions of bliss

King's aide tried save the mess

But master rebuked to stop stress

She was the hottest King's catch

But Smile was there for a snatch

He didn't foresee the lapse

His might and Kingdom had to collapse

She had taken over the throne

The Kingdom sold and gone

Kingdom or Smile was the question!

And the King bequeathed the Queen!

She valued power
That no man gave a flower

It was her game in reign

Be it sunshine or rain

Smile had got it all

Strong, never to fail or fall

The King in the man

Leached to a Queen in a woman

Smile took it..

Smile took over..

Smile reigned...

When the link is weak!

What did they say?

"a chain is as strong as its weakest link"

Life is just but a journey
We walk all walk, on plane and regular
Now, you form a team
Where you work bright the beam
One lights, another fires, another blazes
The spirit of a bonfire!
But did you know this?
What?
"A chain is as strong as it's weakest link"
One in the team weakens the bond
Lost now is the rhythm of the song
This is where drowning starts
tad tad tad tad
The link becomes weak
The team sick
Dead!
See, that is when there's lack of unity
as you know..
"Unity is strength"
The loop holes need to be sealed
The unity brought back
The link strengthened
The bond cemented
 When the link is weak
Humanity power fails.

..and the Ethiopian Proverb says...
"When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion"

The Interview

I woke up pretty early that sunrise found me sleepless. An orison I made to bless my circles and jumped off bed to the bathroom. I took a cold shower with that mentality of 'being fresh.' Dressed up and at the mirror facing self to self-interview. In a grey three piece suit the look wouldn't deceive. Breakfast was served but as you if you've ever been in this, the appetite is captured. I got ready and was set to face the monster before me.

I took a taxi and tried to warm the back left seat. Through the roads; bumps, turns, the braking and accelerations were not felt by me. This was strange to this person who notices all that happens on ways and highways when driven. "Young man, Isn't this your destination?" The taxi driver said as he pulled towards a big silver painted gate. "Sure, it is, thank you!" I replied. I paid for the trip and alighted.

Straight to the door as if accustomed to it I went, the doors slid open and my right foot stepped in first. I introduced myself at the reception desk where I knew the interview has just began. I was led to the interview room by the same I met at the desk, a short smart-looking lady. She knew what I was going to face. Leading me through the corridors she uplifted my spirits and wished me the best as I replied 'thank you' with a shaky voice.

"Welcome," the interviewers in unison called. Well groomed men on my vicinity. One of them ushered me to a seat, I sat. The seat looked warm and comfortable but the truth is I personally was not comfortable. I felt suspended on air, repulsive to gravity. So keen, I tamed every organ of me to be obedient, alert and responsive to anything that happens within the boardroom.

Some seconds of silence took domain before the first interviewer ruled over it. It felt like forever. Their questionnaire was audibly read. Carefully I responded emptying the richness of my mind in response to questions posed. The truth is that my skin perspired a rate like one in a hot kitchen. I held my mouchoir close to help me hide the tension. I really needed the position.

"Gentleman, we are happy to have you. We shall let you know the soonest if the board considers your application.."

"I'm looking forward to that. Thank you Sirs"

Unexplained pain that was solved..

...She called with an emotional weak voice, 'hello.....hello..' I knew that something was not right. The whimpering, shaking.. I went ahead, "hey, hey darling, please cool down and explain yourself to me.." She went ahead, 'I'm o.. okay, I'll be fine.' Not hesitating, I interrupted, "...it is true my dear that you are okay, but I believe you did call with a reason to be okay because you weren't.... see, being okay is right which anyone is and can be, but by the tone you called with, a suppressed pain was felt.." She added nothing so I went on, "Don't die in pain when you are talking to a Doc." She giggled. "Yeah, how would one go to a sanatorium with an ailment and the physician asks, 'how are you feeling?' then, in pain say, 'I'm okay Doc!'" She mumbles something. "Do you have an idea why we live once on earth?" I didn't expect a reply, so I continued, "humans were created in a perfect stature and so they are expected to live to their best in that 'single life.' Your happiness is not guaranteed by somebody else but by self. So, be happy, learn how to avoid mess and seek guidance from them brave who have trod the path before you.." I paused as if to let her interject but she played soundless. So, not to write everything, I took her through talk in mountains, valleys, deserts, through the ocean, yes, round the universe for her to see the good and bad, the rough and smooth.. She burst in laughter, the story changed, the day made and her happiness was restored...

Towards Something

The busy mind had to crack,

The lazy mind sunk in dark,

Who said the best is inherited?

It is for them that are committed,

Even failure you walk towards it,

And you can choose there not to land!

Success is a site where all want to be,

But, in it, you need the spirit of a bee!

No loss is acquired by hard work,

If there is, let me proof read your calculations.

Have you ever thought of life's purpose?

All of us, ambitions great but goal, one,

To succeed!

Not just succeed, but being successful!

You are to mold your skills, your art.

The best in you to discover,

Your potential to recover.

For walking you'll have to walk towards something

Good, bad, better, worse!

Towards something...

Go now get what's best for you

Know your purpose!

Think..

You just got to think

Sometimes after that blink

Many things you tend ponder

And waddle in wonder

An immediate respond

Sure of fish from the pond

Solving has never been easy

Ask bearings when not greasy

Get to tune it your way

And make the right play

That's why I sit at my seat

Sipping as I eat

I just want to think right

My actions too to attract sight

Far from mistakes

Tasty like cakes

All these it's because of the mind

And sometimes you can't rewind

So let me think twice

Before I pay the price

My thoughts I'll dig in and out

Fruitful you'll witness the sprout

Now go exercise your brain

Till men think you got it in twain

Think big, think real

And witness as it fulfill..

Move On..

When the stretch seems long

And you are in the midst of a throng

Then you notice something wrong

It's time to play that hope song

Word by word sing along

Each line stressed by a bong

If you remember the mighty King Kong

Yes, the one from Hong Kong

Look how he did play strong
He knew where he did belong

So
Get the courage and move on!
