CHRISTMAS STORY

CHRISTMAS
He was conceived
He was born
Crown Him king
Crown Him Lord
Worship the king
On Bethlehem soil
A king is born
On a cold winter day
Hallelujah!
It’s December
It’s so cold
It’s winter
It’s freezing right here
It’s like when Christ was born
Let’s have a mass
Let’s remember the birth of our king
On a day like this
Christ was born
Hallelujah!
Here comes Christmas

So, I decided to put up that little piece that looks like a poem or a song lyrics, I really don’t know if it’s any of those. Anyway, I put it up to explain my little story behind Christmas.
Yep, it’s almost like a routine, everyone, everywhere celebrates Christmas on the 25th of Dec, thanks to those who chose that day. I’m glad I have a season to sing Christmas songs, a season to wear red and white or green and red, without looking odd, a season to act a drama that depicts how Christ was born, a season to dine and wine with lovers of Christ, but folks (I mean, those of you who chose the special season for the special one, Christ), you forgot to specify that Dec. 25 is not the only day to celebrate our king, it’s not the only day to remember his birth.
I remember a time around March, when I used a Christmas song as my phone ringtone and anytime it rings, someone would say “Funke na waa ooo, it’s not yet Christmas nah” and I was like, every day is Christmas to me.
It’s a great thing to pick out a day to celebrate Christ’s birthday, even though it’s not necessarily the actual date. After all, we celebrate our birthdays too. My point with the whole thing is Christ is not a mere man that he should be celebrated once in a year, He gave us a lifetime salvation, a kind of salvation that is at work every second, that doesn’t get out of date. His birth speaks on your life every moment you breathe, so also is his death, but I don’t want to go into Easter celebration now. So, as I was saying, I’m celebrating Christmas with my family right now, but I never stop to celebrate Christ’s birth.
Christmas has so become a routine that if anyone wishes merry Christmas in August, everyone is going to think the person is mad, or if I cook a special meal and tell my friends to come dine with me cos I’m celebrating Christmas, in June, my friends are going to think I’m outta my mind, simply because it’s not Dec. 25.
Christ is more than a day celebration, He is an everyday celebrant. You know what? He celebrates us every day because we are His, Yeah, He doesn’t only celebrate you on your birthday, why not do him likewise?
Just as you are celebrating Christmas right now, never you stop having a mass to celebrate Christ’s birth (Christmas) cos everyday belongs to God.
EVERYDAY IS CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS

UNDER THE CARPET (PT 1)

Morning dew arising Birds clamouring Nightingale singing melody Walking down the road Soliloquizing Enjoying the street quiet Breathing the breath of nature Drowning in the ambience of peace Surrounded with ease and flavour Here comes a distraction Here comes an interruption Let me have a taste of your ambience We have to be a part of the flavour You can’t have it all My quiet soul became rowdy Breath of nature transcends into breath of agony Sinking in the ambience of horror No shoulder to lean on No arms to cry on Shut up and give it all After all, you have it all Helpless, hopeless, harmless I behold the harmed, the wicked, the pistol They took it all Alas! Good bye hope Good bye love Good bye care Let’s ride to the dark side Dive slowly Let’s go “Under the carpet”

UNDER THE CARPET (PT 2)

A whole lot of people are walking on the street and smiling, but hiding behind their faces are grieves and fears. You’ve been through some difficult times and you think keeping quiet and ignoring the situation is the best solution. You think your plan worked and you think you are doing just fine, until you get to that point in life where it becomes glaring that you have only hidden your fears under the carpet. You’ve forgotten that someday, you will want to get rid of the carpet to either replace it with tiles or whatsoever and when that time comes, you have your fears staring at you and making ridiculous jest of you saying ‘You should have got rid of me when you could’ I want to specifically address this to every rape survivors out there. Yes, I refuse to call you a victim but a survivor because you are still alive to read this. Even though you are probably thinking of the worst solution out of your grief right now, you have survived yielding to the demons in your head thus far. So, I...

THE JOURNEY

I thought all roads were blocked I thought all I could do was to turn around and return I thought the journey was never meant to start I thought I had wasted time, money, sweat and energy I thought I was a fool I thought it was all over But… Then, I rethought: “I want to be relevant in the society. I have a passion growing in me. I promise to be productive in life and build my passion”. Everyone has a dream, no matter how lazy or hardworking you may be. We all have our goals, our dreams, our passion and we want to make sure they flourish and bring promising future, but all these do not come with folded arms. They come with persistence, doggedness and patience. You were doing great, but now you think you probably shouldn’t have started, because it seems like everything has suddenly started working against you and your dream. Those who should be of help, seem not to see the potentials in you. Well, I have this question for you: Did you conceive your dre...
