Olorun to dara la wa n sin, Ohun la o ma dupe fun

HOPE.

Hope1

Hello Guys!
*resounding echo* *removes cobwebs along my path* O' boy, we need to do something about this space (note to self).

Today, my friend @RebelliousI  is going to cater to your eyes, mind, brain and soul. This piece shall  stir the fire of hope in you , yes you ;)
Enjoy!
------------------------------
That smile that comes from despair,
That courage that tames your fears,
That voice that whispers, "It'll be fine",
That friend who stays even when you run out of shine.
And even when you turn your back, it stays,
Waiting for you to come back to its warm embrace.

And sometimes, though it's everywhere,
You feel it nowhere,
And then, from nowhere,
It springs out from thin air,
Like the Phoenix in disguise,
Because hope is that spark of light in your teary eyes,

And it's what makes us pray,
Fa innama al usri yusra,
Adara,
Ogadinma,
Komai zai zama daidai.

Hope is adrenaline,
Because even when you are at your weakest,
It pushes, fights the tempest,
Struggles in the never ending quest to fulfilment.

Hope is never depressed,
Just like an oasis never grows thirsty,
Or like the sun never goes frosty,

Hope is that light that comes from nowhere,
And lights up everywhere,
It's why we gasp for air when we lose our breath,
It's why we can't hold our breath to death,
Because it's why we are alive,
It's what makes us human.

This, is for the one who's giving up on light just before dawn,
Hold on,
You are about to feel the beauty of the sun.

And know, that surely after hardship comes ease.
Surely, after hardship comes ease.

The Love That Bore Hate, The Like That Birthed Dislike.

Ghandi


Human beings are very deceptive. If there's anything I've learned today, that would be it.
Why do we constantly manipulate people for our selfish wants.
I mean, other people have feelings too, don't you care?
Can you take half the things you dish out?
Don't you remember how small this world is?
We're very quick to condemn our leaders even when our own "grab-grab" attittudes are ever so strong.
Yoruba people say "omi leyan"- "people are water".
Don't you think water flows in an endless cycle too? I do.
They say the people you meet on your way up are those you'd see on your way down.
Don't you want those  people to have good stuff to say about you.
No one is innocent 100%.
This post is for me just as it is for you.

Before you manipulate that next person for your selfish reasons, PAUSE, think about it.
