LiteratureWhy Do Most People Don't Like Reading Poetry? by Gaffass(op): 4:27pm On Jun 01, 2021
It is that they don't free themselves up so they can go to the places the poet intended. If you read a poem and follow the movement of the words and flow of the verse; it's liberating.
For me reading poetry is far blissful than having sex.

LiteraturePoetry: The Rebirth By Okim Otu by Gaffass(op): 8:58pm On May 27, 2021
When on their own land; Kings becomes strangers
And Queens taken by drunken soldiers,
When on unguarded and stray paths
prince walk
And servants ride gorgeously on horseback.

The cries of orphans shall be heard beyond!

When the best suddenly lacks precision
And pride sits on exalted positions,
When love slaves in egocentric places
And truthfulness burns on lying furnaces.

The cries of orphans shall be heard beyond!

This madness will crumble before our sight,
The hand of the Lord will show up in might,
To birth for our sake a new beginning;
Where justice prevail and joy unending.

Notes about the poem

The Rebirth is an expression of hope that the evil of this world will come to an end.

It pinpoints how injustice has risen to high heavens and bloated ego rules in home of the high and lowly.

It expresses the pain and wailing of the less privilege.
LiteraturePoetry: Valley Of Choices by Gaffass(op): 10:07am On May 23, 2021
Valley of choices

Flashes of brilliant lightning,
Glimpses of adoring beauty,
Lightning, so bright and shinning
Beauty, tender and comely
To apprise the mind that is ready
And adorn the soul that is willing.

Portion of gloomy shades,
iota of impurity,
Gloom no light can penetrate
Impurity so filthy,
To Clouter the mind that is lade
And enslave the soul that is jittery.

You stand in the valley of hills
To perform this choice of freewill
If because of it, your dreams are killed,
Only on you the shame be filled.

I don't know why some blockhead will associate terrorism with Islam. Didn't they know that America sponsor terrorist to disrupt government in lran, Araq, Egypt, ... And call it Arab spring? Or is morally OK for Palestinian who have occupied the west Bank for ages to be evicted ??

Gaffass:
A Prayer Of The Faithful

In the sky written in gold my name

The wind has blown to me my fame

My walk through the desert brought me gain

The tears are dried, my joy exceed the pain.

Sunlight enlightened my face

Lock track adhere to my race

Long days of loneliness are past

No more a minute of hunger else a fast.

Although life may be unfair

God's love sees me through the stair.

Darkness may fill up my night

I rise again in the morning with Jesus' light.

LiteratureRe: Poetry: There Is Beauty In Every Ugliness. By Okim Otu by Gaffass(op): 10:25am On Apr 30, 2021
There is always something positive in every negative situation or circumstance. If you have the courage you will see it.

You can add your own line.
Let's see who will add the funniest lines.

Here is mine:
There is always an apple to get rid of every Abacha..
LiteraturePoetry: There Is Beauty In Every Ugliness. By Okim Otu by Gaffass(op): 11:59am On Apr 29, 2021
THERE IS BEAUTY IN EVERY UGLINESS

There is stillness in every headache,

Light at the end of every tunnel,

There is a silence in every noise,

A shiny Sun after every rain.


There is comfort in every tear drop,

Solution wrapped in every problem,

There's a wage after every labour,

A silver line in every dark cloud.


There is a smile behind every frawn,

There is love in every sacrifice,

There is dawn after every long night,

There's always Peace after every war,

There's always an end to every storm,

There is beauty in every ugliness.

LiteraturePoetry: A Sonnet Of Love. By Okim Otu by Gaffass(op): 12:38pm On Apr 28, 2021

A Sonnet of Love

My life is meaningful with you beside,
You soothe my heart like sunshine after rain,
My dreams are alive with you by my side,
You heat up my cold and make my skin plain.

When you were away, I endured alone,
The burning in my heart could cook a stone
But with loving feelings emanated,
From your soft sounding voice, the grief melted.

I have yearned for someone I can live with
But you are someone I can't live without,
Like a traped fish, your hook will I drawn with,
Like quokkas, your joy I can't do without.

Let this beautiful feelings form the dot
And drives us to paradise's mildest spot.

LiteraturePoetry: A Dance In The Dark by Gaffass(op): 1:16pm On Apr 27, 2021
A Dance in the Dark by Okim Otu

Tempting Shadows shade gloomy reflection,

Venereal hype soothen me in a park,

Trouble impends in glorious proportion,

A pleasure to watch; this dance in the dark.


Impartial confidence discommodes me,

Tainted moves hacking inside my bosom,

In a weird dream of strippers I may be

But perceives a stage full of dancing domme.


Move little closer, a little closer

Elate her ego with flatterous rhyme,

This warm embrace even makes me hotter

Though slippery this mountain i must climb.


This pleasure so much anticipated

Last only but seconds, I regretted.

LiteraturePoetry: Oh Do Not Forget So Soon (suicide Is Profane) by Gaffass(op): 11:49am On Apr 26, 2021
OH DO NOT FORGET SO SOON (SUICIDE IS PROFANE)
when climbing the hilltop seem no longer in sight
And day become shorter and longer the night,
When the hands can't grab the dreaming goods of the mind
And the head can't grasp any more, tends to abscind,
The heart begin trembling and the spirit failing,
The ugly hand of death turned soft and comforting.

Oh do not forget so soon;
The great beauty of this life
Ever faithful mother earth:
The dancing leaves of the trees
The adorable flowers
The brilliant smiles of the sun
The humid looks of the sky
The stillness of the sea
The sane silence of the night
The cool morning breeze
The beautiful smiles of mothers
The innocent charm of kids
The glowing faces of ladies
Oh do not forget so soon.

You see death as freedom
Why not seek the freedom in life?
You think in death is rest?
Yet can't seek the rest in life.

If you know that you are a piece of life
And that you can never end life,
Only your illusion is about to be ended,
Will you rather awake from your illusion,
Or end what you never knew how it started?
Oh do not forget so soon that life is sacred,
Do not forget so soon that suicide is profane.

LiteratureRe: Poetry : Take Off The Veil And Live by Gaffass(op): 1:35am On Apr 26, 2021
Gaffass:
Take off the veil and live.
Take off the veil of belief
That robs and blind you
That you may see the mischief
That ends around you.
What did the stars believe in?
That they shine a dazzling smile,
And with all your lucency
Can't shine as bright as the lease.
What did flowers believe in?
With beauty so adoring,
Can your fashions and make-ups
So compare the very lease?
Why won't you be heartsick?
Why won't you feels empty?
When you just exist instead of live.
Belief that makes you maime and kill
Turn precious you to monster
Is nothing less than folly.
Take off the veil and live
That you may see the beauty
Craving for you to have
Take off the veil and live
That you may see the wisdom
laying waste within you.

Take off the veil and live.

Take off the veil of belief

That robs and blind you

That you may see the mischief

That ends around you.

What did the stars believe in?

That they shine a dazzling smile,

And with all your lucency

Can't shine as bright as the lease.

What did flowers believe in?

With beauty so adoring,

Can your fashions and make-ups

So compare the very lease?

Why won't you be heartsick?

Why won't you feels empty?

When you just exist instead of live.

Belief that makes you maime and kill

Turn precious you to monster

Is nothing less than folly.

Take off the veil and live

That you may see the beauty

Craving for you to have

Take off the veil and live

That you may see the wisdom

laying waste within you.

FamilyRe: Time To Divorce My Wife? by Gaffass(m): 10:22pm On May 05, 2020
sir,
you are a strong man. you are capable of loving and caring, be proud of what you have endured so far and be even ready to endure more. life is not a bed of roses; neither is marriage.
it is impossible for two persons with different perspective, upbringing and beliefs to come together and not have misunderstanding. stop concentrating your energy on her in perfections, stop judging her and making her feel you too who is her husband doesn't support her.
I believe there are positive things she is capable of doing, like u mentioned she prays alot. my question is do you pray with her? did you pray together with your kids? how are you bonding like a family? have you really think of your own flaws? or you think you are perfect?
sir, every human has his or her good side and bad side. recognizing your wife bad side is ok but please also find out about her good side and make a blend.
sir, please worry less don't allow everything gets into ur head to avoid high blood. sometime laugh it away.
divorce is not an option.

Scientists are yet to explain the smallest particular on Earth. They can not explain how everything started. ... There is a source that bring one to all knowledge and understanding. True children of God knows and have him. Unbelievers will continue to be confused with their unbelief but the wise will seek the truth. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life no one cometh to my father except throuh me" John 14:6. Submit to Jesus today and the holy spirit will teach u all things.
