TOUGH TIMES





By Ola Vincent Omotade
(True-life story)

I am here to speak of God's faithfulness 
And I hope that in hearing this, you get blessed 

When it started, I couldn't tell where I was
How long I have or when I got there

All I knew was pain, I felt an enormous pain all over my body but for my feet.
I noticed my plastered face, a connected drip and several bandages.

A polite nurse noticed me and called out to a doctor.
At his arrival, the young doctor said to me

_"You're at the ABU ZARIA TEACHING HOSPITAL,_
_And its because you had an accident,_
_You've been unconscious for sometime,_
_Pls take care to rest"_

I tried to question him but couldn't find the right words to do so

Eventually I stopped trying to do so
But when I laid back, I was in tears

When he came back later that day, 
He explained how my accident was fatal,
The surgery I had to undergo
And the possibility of me being on that bed for years

When I heard him I was so troubled that I passed out.
Later on, I tried to pray but couldn't do so well
For weeks, I could neither speak properly nor eat.

I was down emotional, most times I was crying in my prayer.
Other times, I couldn't even pray as I sorrow

But where man's help could not avail
God's power came and prevailed

God said to me, 
God said _"The day you'll leave here is just as close as tomorrow._
_So my dear son, do not sorrow"_

I am so grateful to God because I am back 
I am back with a might that is just on track

But to the care of my home
And the warmth of my foam, my mattress

Health they say is wealth.
So now that I'm back to health, I know I'm in wealth.

I am back with a greater form of strength.
I am back with such energy that can be felt.

A LETTER TO YOU To you who just wanna throw in the towel and probably end your life already, cause it feels like the weight of 4 planets lay comfortably on your shoulders and your happiness just lasts only as long as a good haircut. To you who has lost the spark to all you hold dear. The passion you once used to feel juggle in your belly just suddenly disappeared. To you who has this excruciating pain (in your body, soul. Every single where, it hurts bad)  that won't just go away. To you who doesn't know yourself. You don't even love yourself first first. You wear the mask every single time so that it's caused bruises on your face. Sores. Scars. You have eroded You. To you who feels getting from where you are to wanna be is a very long thing. To you who don't even know how and what to feel. To you fighting battles. Though ones, you can't deal no more. You have this ugly past that brings plenty voices in your head. You can't tell no one. . ....

WHY DO TEARS FOREVER FLOW?

By Ola Vincent Omotade As I lay on my bed this morning, with sunlight streaming through the window, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtain and I saw the sky turn blue.. OH! its a new day I said. Just as I took a step to go get my pink hard smoker's brush and a Dabur-herbal toothpaste to spray on my brush, I heard someone crying in terribleness. I was weak in my spirit and all I did was to rest on my cushion, threw the brush on my carved mahogany bench and these were words that interfered with my heart. I realized coming to this earth, newly birth nothing in my hand I bring. simply naked to the earth I come, looking for dress in tearsa Oh for us We came hale and hearty, But yet tears trooped out from our eyes, the little helpless baby. Looking for ways to support living, we sow in tears but at times reap in joy, not always every time though. Going through the nooks and crannies of pains in craft works, handiworks and education (disciplined with tear...

WISH HE KNEW

By Jason Abbaly Everyone has a dream, every dream has a message, and that message gives hope. Now that’s the good part. But then, some people have good dreams, while others have nightmares. Believe me, there is nothing good about nightmares.  We live in a time where everyone hopes for something. Some get it, while others just don’t. For Billy, life was a good dream. Billy was a young, cute and good looking male goat.  He was so energetic and fun to be with. Had a lovely “bleat” sound he made every time which drove the female goats all crazy. He also had a well-trimmed goatee that gave him this sexy look.  There was no doubt that Billy was well taken care of. But, the big question was, for what? Hold unto that thought. Billy had an owner Mr. Badmus AKA the bad man. People called him that because, when it comes to butchering of animals, he was the perfect man for the job. He was also into rearing and selling of goats. He had a little daughter Cecilia. She loved he...
