Realms of poetry

The year started beautifully as churches, organizations and institutions started shouting their themes for the year at 12am during 31st night. Everything was magical, different kinds of beautiful fireworks were thrown into the sky just to welcome this year. The year looked promising at least for me as a young lady I had lots of activity planed as my new year resolutions, but little did I know that the year also had its own plans .I woke up one day and heard Chinese were dying. But the question was why were they dying, what was going on there, and then I decide to research and found the exact thing killing them. CORONA VIRUS. I have read the lexicon, I mean the dictionary from page to page, cover to cover but I never came across this word. I thought I had seen it all, not knowing some were in stock for me to witness. CORONAVIRUS, a word which when people see, they could tremble, at the sound of it people begin to shake, not to the extent when people come into close contact w...

Happy Independence 🇬🇭 Proud to be a Ghanaian, My Ghana, My Pride.  ©Ehmrys_writes✍✍🔐 Freedom is never given; it is won. Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought. Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.  Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.  Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.  It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.  Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.  Seek freedom and become captive of your des...

@i-Orel .•Chioma, the world is looking up to you to merge its loosing edges.. Time may not be on your part.. But you still have to devise some way apart from time just to relocate it.. Grandpa advised heartily, before passing on.. . Oh Chioma, why have fate decided to treat me as such? Papa and mama gone.. My only encourager is also gone.. Leaving me all alone.. Oh life, what went amiss.. Can't you see I miss the people you have devoured keenly, abruptly.. . Now it's certain, interrupted by nature just to reconcile with them..

Hmmm, awww nature please provide me a way before I decide to walk the way of the wayward? . @Esther .•The once blue sky has turned red Threatening to fall on me I am like a tree whose leaves falls off without replacement.. Mother nature has ripped me off my leaves Now I am open to the storm and sun.. ...

Test scores! The hard heartbeat of students The illusion of excellence for students The overemphasised necessity for success of students Inventions and innovations do not originate from test scores Great scientists and philosophers were failed by test scores According to test scores, Albert Einstein was not good enough But today test scores prepare tests about the life of Albert – history Multiple choice questions! Easiest way of projecting test scores Failing all can be assured by intention Scoring high can occur by occasion Test scores itself has failed to measure intelligence How much more success Have you ever seen this in real life: what is the next step? A. continue   B. rob a bank   C. just die   D. keep calm and play on The inventor of multiple choice questions Fredrick J Kelly was just trying to relieve teachers of stress in marking; not having the concerns of any student in mind. Score 6 out of 10 today Score 9 out of 10 tom...

Dear first born, always remember I do not have much to offer All I've got is unceasing prayers But if I'm left with no option than to offer you my last bread so I die out of hunger Then so be it Because I'd rather die giving my all to sustain your life than to live to see you die" Her first and last advice I heard. Man can't be ungrateful That really hit me hard Obviously she's got many troubles that I do not understand Probably during her prime ahe lost while playing her cards Maybe, just maybe, she didn't know how to play them well or she's tried all she can But life still chooses to be hard on her "This is the truth son: If you follow your friends and let their lifestyles eat into your brains You'll never live to appreciate my presence in your life Wake up and put on your thinking cap!" And in every sense she was righ.t Lo and behold stepdad confirms it, "You know your background has nothing to offer you rig...

Fortunate as you are, someone never had one. What if after rejecting this gift, He gives you none Are you going to blame Him or opt to be a nun. Why be a murderer whiles you can be a mother?

Why soil your hands with blood? Why stain your conscience with guilt? The toddler, when in your arms can make you glad. A brighter future together could be built. You will one day look back and smile You will be happy you embraced this present Facing the world and receiving this gift was worthwhile The so-called humiliations of the past can't be compared to the joy of the present Why abort?
