In the Estimates

Image
In the estimates of time, We have near equal. In the estimates of our affection, We have a paired measure. In the estimates of our work or worth, We are blessed with results. There is an untold estimate in our truths, In our socio-economic, politico-religio-cultural space. And in the estimates of our beliefs and attitudes, There are benign deficits of our interest.  But in the estimates of this day and its glamour, And in the exercise of our discretion today, Never underestimate or overestimate your estimation.  Just be in tune, do your best and be your best. I wish you well. Remain blessed ©KYB ✍🏿10/06/2021

Survival Strand

It's time to recalibrate  Whatever makes you happy and strong, Whatever helps you thrive in this space, And whatever strengthens you. Whether it's your achievement or influence, Whether it's your efforts and love you spread, And whether it's your unique challenges and how you have survived, I still appreciate you.  I wish you a wonderful Wednesday.

RECREATING TO RESTORE

Image
The news of climate change is no secret. The effects of our actions on earth are known. The fact remains that we are responsible in a way. We are aware of the vileness of what we have done, or what we have not done in avoiding this. We are witnesses to the erratic weather patterns and the gradual decline of rainfall. We know the discomfort in the uncertain seasonal tunes. And we do know the dangers if nothing concrete is done. The fact that we cannot turn back the clock doesn't mean we cannot act. We can each take up the task of planting and growing trees, and making our cities green. We clean our rivers and reclaim our wastelands. We can grow gardens, change our diets and be intentional in saving our ecosystem.  Whether as culprits or saviours, the time to act to restore our ecosystem is now. Since we are the generation that can make peace with nature, we all should take an active interest in working to making our natural habitat breathe again. As stewards

Wonderful Ordering

There's order in nature. There's beauty in this ordering. You are equally wonderful in your physique.  We are thus, obliged to listen more to the natural rhythms of cycles and keep a sane balance. As you do the needful in this space, please never forget your true purpose in life. I wish you a wonderful Wednesday. Greetings  ©KYB ✍🏿02/06/2021

FINISHING THE UNFINISHED AGENDA

Image
We heard the merits and demerits in our lamentations. We are aware of our deadly stereotypes nibbling at our progress.  We are aware of the benefits working together for the common good will inure to us, but we prefer the perks and expensive money from our colonial masters.  We are aware of the risk and toils our forefathers went through to get us here, but we appear to have betrayed their worthy cause. We live in the sunshine of our graceful wealth and yet we are the least beneficiary of these abundant gifts.  We're aware of our own failings and the forces that work against our efforts to integrate and stay united.  We are also aware of our own acts of petty politicking that are working against us.  It's a fact that our liberation struggle is still on and we have an arduous task to finish the unfinished agenda of our liberation.  As Robert Nestor Marley echoed in his Redemption Song, we all have a duty to "emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, none but our
