Everyday Affair

Of the many wondering words of a wonderful day, Are the interlinked wedges of warmth. Of the many sticky stories stoking our stable stalls, Are some striking strategies of several sets. But as the gossip train sometimes passes, the truth is likely to be confused in these varying contexts of our content. One thing, however, is clear that there's something powerful than our laws. The culture, values, norms, beliefs of people as well as their fears and strives. It is even likely that in our everyday affair, a struggle for the soul of humanity is being waged - between good and evil, hope and despair, trust and distrust, truth and falsehood, fear and love, tribalism and unity, wisdom and what may seem like wisdom. Its possible conflicts are ongoing, within us between dogmas and our sense of reason, between good old principles and the fanciful ones of the present, between what to say and what not to say, between our individual creeds and greed. And this might be going on in each o

A Care Constitution

Guidelines and rules are good to ensure order and the protection of all especially the vulnerable in our society. Codified and none codified rules are necessary to guide us in our lives as a society and nation. Besides the arrogation of powers and the designation of the processes of appointment, as well as the allocation of filters to check excesses those we entrust with power, there is a need to ensure a caring constitution. Even as we try to ensure that we are not cast down by the mischief of our political servants, we should be mindful of the abuses our servants we elect are likely to perpetuate.

In These Tributes

There are uncanny happening that jolts us. They usually come in many shades and times. Sometimes they are unpredictable and unfunny. These occurrences come disrespectfully despite our beautiful intentions and plans. These surprises come when we least expect them to, And yet it's all part of life's mystery. Many questions may flood our thoughts, With a painful stain in our thoughts. Sometimes, nothing makes sense to us again. However, in the heaviness of our hearts, or in the tears of our fears, let's remember that sadness is but a wall between two gardens. In these tributes with heavy tearful clouds, let our hopes be strong. When sorrow robs us of the delight, let's be consoled of tomorrow's sunshine. When our teardrops are near, let's remember to speak to our Maker to dry our tears. Take care and be courageous during this time. And always remember that life is a gift. Take care and remain optimistic. Greetings to you. ©KYB ✍🏿6/01/20
