The answer is simple, not all person from the time of old were documented in the Bible, only those that matter. Imagine even the other kids of Adam and Eve weren't clarified. The Bible was skimming through man generation, only paying attention to the root of the chosen descendant and what befell them.  |

In situations like this, I wonder what's going on in the minds of these offsprings; why would they forget the hardship their parent went through for their sake: It makes me upset.

skarlett: *Iya ni wura
Mariam, a widow, lives under Daleko bridge and sweeps big compounds for a living. For 30 years she toiled and made sacrifices to ensure her three sons do not live in a shanty like she did.
Turns out she failed, none of their mansions are big enough to have her.
*mother(hood) is priceless.
50 words excluding the title and translation
cc Divepen1 Please skarlett this your composition has me asking: did the kids get successful and won't have her in their homes, or did they fail, and the mansion is just a metaphor for perhaps: world? |

Poems For Review › Re: WIN 10,000 Cash Prize Right Now For Writing a poem here on NLND by Jetjacky(m): 4:06pm On Aug 13, 2017 |
TOUCHED BY THE WIND
Thy hands my friend, they find me in a day of loss. When my heart do burn, with frustration and want, when my spirit do roar, and seek love.
Hold me fast, pull me up, my spirit die within me, as I fight to flee. The roars of fire plague me about, its heat prevail me, where will my soul go, so she may quench taste?
Fire surrounded me, my spirit failed me, my eyes longed for an escape, the door laid open before me. My feet moved ever lightly, begging, seeking, before you found me.
It is days like this I remember, when my soul cries, when hope flees, and it feels like I should lay dead. Me and thee my free bird, have come a long way.
Guide me friend, lead me, show me the path I seek. Let the light from the sky, find me. Let its rays kiss me, they will be different from this yellow flames, for they promise freedom.
My bones worry not thyself, my heart beat a little more, for our escape has found us, breath in this freedom, lean on the strength of the wind, and follow the path that it sees. |

GeoSilYe: Feels (this is also reverse poetry which can be read from top to bottom and bottom to top.. lol )
My mind is a web An eternity in tiny threads Spin by spiders of unstability Guilt and depression
My heart is an iced room A room carved out by untold tears Frozen by anger Hate and hurt
My head is a wide path Walked on by jealousy Anxiety and fear
My soul is lost Standing on a junction Led by unanswered questions Self-denial and emptiness I love this too. What you did here is something new to me. I will try to be this advance. |

Paulpaulpaul: AGAINST ALL ODDS
I was there severally, yes The abyss of shame and jest Shrouded in want and mess Guess what? I never failed the test.
I tried to tell people, I tried No one listens to a failure, I cried I cried, without tears to bear witness Past successes vanished to emptiness
All odds is against my favour But I still cherish my fervour Pulling the last straw at success This time, the pull is ruthless
That was the end, I concluded Closed my eyes, I finally yielded Waking from nothingness Congratulations woke me from emptiness
I was hopelessly hopeful My hope may just be wishful But against all odds I became one of the lords I love this. |

Less competition there......
By Monday, of the few people that contested there, there will Be a winner that will earn his/her/their( for the gender fluid people) prize.
So,has anyone considered the poetry and diary section competition? Same prize but a different closing date for the diary section competition wow so cool! |

Wanderlustafrik: I don't know how to quote comments but I have noted the suggestions
1) I think that people will go beyond the first page to read,like and share since they know it's a friendly competition. So it doesn't matter if you're on the first. I love reading and I'm reading the works coming.a fan of one writer already.
2) let's not campaign for likes,try and see how much favour your work can earn you.
Thanks. Still open to suggestions. If it can be moved to front page to generate interest from those that don't visit the literature section. It's fine.
Keep sending in your stories! Edited: I have included the title. how can you ensure people won't advocate for likes, even after you have made it clear they shouldn't? 1 Like |

Emeka:
Emeka ran through the street, his bag and rubber of kerosine laid forgotten at the bus stop. His heart galloped hard as he raced for his home. He couldn't believe what Micheal told him, it couldn't be. He had left his wife Igbere in good health this morning; he could still remember how her lips touched his cheek; the smile that graced her visage; the twinkle of her eyes as she said. “wouldn't want to leave you now with nothing to crave for Baby.”
“No! no no.” his voice died in a whisper. This cannot be. God please; he pleaded within him.
His surrounding bled pass him in a quick blur. He took not into consideration, the faces of those who flew past him, not even his sister Nkechi as she beckoned him with her hand; even the words proceeding out of her mouth were all blurred into the background.
Soon his house stood in faded glory, like a dead leaf within the embrace of fire. His heart heaved, feeling like it was about to explode. His body shook. “Oh God!” he said, buckling to the floor. All he could see was fire, and it had stolen all he loved. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Christianity Etc › Re: The Biblical Purposes Of Attending Church by Jetjacky(m): 9:03am On Aug 13, 2017 |
All this points dont work in churches anymore. They're now implemented from a wrong mentality. There is no love between believers; it's envy and pride you will see mainly. Good works are stirred up from a wrong indoctrination, where people are coased to give to flaunt their money, or with the idealogy that they will receive. They're no longer prepared for the day of the Lord, they're prepared for the day of money. This is my observation from the rich and known churches around us. |

Swissfunds: Why wouldn't I be comfortable? When am not doing any thing illegal to warrant tracking me down.. My love for chrome because you're not doing something illegal doesn't mean you should allow others have a leverage over you. I don't think so. I'm bothered about the future. Who knows what it holds? Many things can go wrong: the company maybe hacked; as a believer of Christ, the beast and his companions can utilize my data over the years to know what I'm thinking, my information, where I am, and what am mentally capable of. This should bother you. |

adeiza4u: Happy Sunday Brethren. I recently discovered, that churches I thought are perfect still have some sinners among them; even the most conservative churches still have some persons who are swimming in sins despite the preaching of the sound word of God and biblical doctrines. So I humbly ask, can we have a complete, saintly, and perfect church on earth? Thanks. like the first commenter said; nothing is impossible. But it's rare. No matter how in good time à church is with God, there will be those who would abuse the grace of God. |
