THE SQUIRREL

Addicted to nature and its blessings, I sat in front of the TV watching, learning and listening to how a man was trying to prevent this small mammal(s) from eating the seeds he feeds to his birds. This man tried a set of techniques which would be mentioned in as we go on. The squirrel, an furry animal with sharp claws, flexible bones, a tail for balance and change in direction during flight and the famous quick, fast action reflexes which helps it reach its food and also escape it's nemeses (other animals that might want it for food).

Now, to the main course, as mentioned above the man in question loves feeding birds and they are of different varieties but because the feed of the birds is usually served on a raised platform, it tends to attract this particular feeder, the squirrel(s). In a bid to reduce the number of seeds eaten by the squirrel(s) around, he changed the poles with different materials such as lead pipes, wooden poles, ceramics even with galvanized iron, still this changes didn't deter the squirrels one bit. In fact, he actually tried using a triangular pole but because the paws of the squirrels were well built for grasping and balancing they defeated this enemy easily.

Finally, he robbed grease on a wooden pole and then hoped that this would work as he was running out of options, standing aloof, he watched as a squirrel came by and tried to climb the pole as always but something seem to make the pole slippery and down went the squirrel. Happy, the man went to sleep, thinking *I've finally found a barrier* but unknown to him, the fur coat of the squirrel was rubbing off the grease with each unsuccessful climb, by morning the man came out to see his enemy on the open platform enjoying the food meant for his birds.

As seen on TV, the changes in poles each at first caused a little setback but the squirrel(s) were adamant, stubborn little creatures (who will not take no for an answer) and wouldn't stop climbing because all they set their mind to were the seeds, the goal, the satisfaction, a definite major purpose, the desire which was raised up on an open platform.

When we surmount a phase or level, life will always bring unto us something else, an event, circumstance which we've never come across before just to make us lose focus,to tire us out and at the end lose our aim,goal,ambition and purpose. Learn from the squirrel(s), let unrelenting determination help you achieve your heart desire in the face of varied adversity, the squirrel(s) is well adapted to the environment in which they are, build yourself, equip yourself for the journey, to help you get to that place where desire to be, let the hunger to climb to achieve your aim, to get your seeds, your dream push you, let this take you to the top.
_BE DETERMINED_ ....

Preparation and Readiness

While you're young, educate yourself by observing the real world, learning what it is and how the real people in it act and react.
Keep your eyes open, your mouth shut. Shape yourself, acquire the tools, eliminate as nearly as possible the traits you have that will hinder you.- V

Tis a beautiful weekend

THE BLEEDING PEN ANTHOLOGY 144
IS THERE A LEGACY FOR YOUTH?

I asked our brothers who loot_
Is there a legacy for youth?.
My quest hit their marrow
For they have sold our tomorrow.
The hope we hope to herald_
Is no more in sight, so I heard.

The boulevard spelt empty_
Who shall work in no man's entity?
Our love for the nation is paling_
Ask some graduates if I am lying.
Is there a legacy for youth_
A heavy question I dine alone with my thought.

JUDAISKY CARES
*-----------------------------------*

Alone sitting,I peered through the dark_
Wondering, is our destination going to be like a tree's bark?
In us the spirit, they said you're are tomorrow's leaders,
Yet, they kill our inner man with the poison of adders_
I tear inwardly for my brothers and sisters,
Because fate has conformed us to this country of ours.

Seems the youth have no legacy_
Except as thugs and hoodlums for the political papacy_
Except as whores to fill their adulterous hunger,
Forgetting that we are also fathers and mothers_
Of generations unborn,destinies not conceived_
They claim,touts,hoot and last of all our spirits they have decieved.

Sage O'fire
*-----------------------------------*

Our shouts of abundance in the future seems punctured_
When we see countless sins from the leaders manipulating the system structured_
What a pity! A blow to my dear nation_
Sad enough is their faults but worse more is their pride in corruption_
It seems, to save the story from a batterred history_
We would have to learn outside to write a better story.

But is this is how these petals will set loose from its stalk?
And watch the mundane looters lead our own talk?
Wake up dear beings of strength_
Arise within and amongst thyself better beings for a generation that bears much length_
For these erroneous beings are damn lost in the shoes that covers their solipsist foot_
So strive and fight, else I ask you too: Is there a legacy for the youth?

Nearly everyone can think but only few can think.
An unwise speaks before he think.
Tomorrow is the clenched fist,
The prudent,willing to leave the list.
Martin Luther king says,and I thought!
Is there a legacy for the youth?

Lightning blistered rising Sun,
What wind will rescue the peeping Sun?
What tears for the withered bud?
Threatened by a maze of cloud.
I always think,when will we cross the border,
To get the message brought by messenger?

When ignorance plays the tone if deafness,
And the youths heed to its dreadful assents,
Nodding to the note of stupidity
With a loud beat of hilarity,
In this playful tempest,
I wonder, "where does legacy nest?"

When negligence becomes our inheritance.
A rippled wall to beckon on for assistance.
We loose but the ashes of broken brick,
As our pain stare us with lovely trick.
Of what use is legacy for youth?
Is there legacy for youth?

MISS JAYCEE
*-----------------------------------*

Everyday I glues to the TV and the news
For current events and experts views.
They'd analyze people politically
And the nation; economically.
Perhaps it does make sense
For there are those who sit on the fence.

They once had debate about the youths:
"Is there any legacy for the youth?"
This is a nation where leaders embezzle
And uses these youths to solve puzzles.
Every youth deserves a role model.
Pathetically, what we have now are infidels.
