Reflections: There is a Time for Everything!


There's a time for everything.


A time to hold tight to what you have at present and a time to let go of the past.


A time to cherish treasured memories and a time to expunge painful reminders.


A time to add new friends and a time to let go of others.


A time to claim victories and a time to admit defeat.


A time to fall in love and a time to let loved ones move away.


A time to make great speeches and articles and a time to absorb the greatness of others.


A time when oratory is a virtue and a time when silence is golden.


A time to be a hero and a time to be just human.


A time to feel loved and special and a time to be ordinary and vague.


A time to be just me and a time to be ‘the me’ of others.


A time to sing melodies and a time to hear harmonies.


Life is more intriguing with its highs and lows. Variety is spicy. You can't always keep up a high tempo. Monotony, even at a high pace, is a bore on the long run. No matter the times, good or bad, life has to move on. We won't be here today if life got stuck in the past. So too, there won't be a tomorrow if today decides to hang on to yesterday!

Poem(-ish) – Make it rhyme!

The day I met you I had an epiphany Your skin radiates in resplendent ebony With a voice resonating in amazing symphony To your endearing qualities I give testimony Our souls in synch: perfect harmony ‘You are meant to be’ said Mr. Destiny I had flashes of a wonderful Holy Matrimony Then came a ‘little’ acrimony From the ‘ordained’ arrangement, you sought mutiny You left with a bye-bye ceremony And my heart left in agony I walked out my front balcony Raised my hands and voice in somber litany My body trembled with violent tetany The day I met you was bright and sunny The day you left was dark and rainy Nature recognized the difference and irony ©Dr Eugene’s Blogs ( http://dreugeneoji.blogspot.com/ ) ©Dr Eugene’s Column ( http://dreugeneojirigho.blogspot.com/ )

Poem(-ish) - A Special Possession - My Pot, Loyalty!

Image
O loyalty,   You were more than a piece of property! Yes, a companion of immense probity. You saw me from the grass of poverty To the grace of prosperity! You kept our friendship with great tenacity. I have had my share of vanity But with you there was no enmity. Even in tough times, you kept your proximity. There was no warranty But even your maker did not have the ability To foresaw your durability. You lived through student’s hostel banality, Held steady against hostel boys’ curiosity, Scaled the ‘burnt beans’ brutality, Endured the Sahara Desert’s cruelty, Survived roadside criminality, But you enjoyed the ‘I was there’ captivity. Remember those years when ‘beans’ was a delicacy,   Every student’s necessity,   Even with all the flatulence and hyperacidity! O, how you provided endearing hospitality To myriad stomachs that rumbled with hostility! I have learnt great lessons from your historicity: The value of hu...

Reflections: Life’s Paradox - A True Story!

Image
  Life! This world is an intriguing place. Lots of things happen every day that give one cause to ponder on the intricacies of this life! An adult male raped an 8 year old girl. She was a school pupil returning from school when she was lured by the rapist into his home. Sadly, he violated that little girl. But that is not end of the story. Later, through the suspicion of the girl’s guardian, the man was apprehended and he confessed to the crime. At this point, the worry was on the health and well-being of this little girl. As a routine practice, she and the accused were screened for STIs (sexually transmitted diseases). What would you expect? You would not be surprised if the man turns out to have an STI. That would suit his profile. But alas, that was not the case. Allow me explain: When the tests results came out, it turned out that the man was HIV negative but the 8-year old girl was HIV positive. The results were correct. How come? It was found out that the...
