THE SONG OF TES

 Dear woman with a beautiful soul

What is it that ails you so?

I've searched for you in far places

Are you passing through some difficult stages?

She said: It's a long story I hardly can tell

But the road is long, said I, please do tell

Last time I saw you, I could tell

There was something wrong, so pray tell


And she uttered to me a parable

You see, I went hunting with a friend

To better our chances, we hunted the same

Indeed, we were fair hunters of game.


But things took a turn for the worse

I thought we were friends, whatever that was

She left the hunt and turned on me

Left the hunt and turned on me

Took the gun and turned on me

Used as bait, she turned on me

I became the hunted, it dawned on me..


My heart was full, it nearly burst!

My soul was grieved, it nearly burst!

Overflowing with pain, I nearly burst!

So I stayed away from Mount Zion

Finding solace in a dark room

God sees my heart, he knows I'm mad

I'll stay away, my heart is bad.


And I stayed away for two whole weeks

Went to church for a few more tweaks

God heard my cry and made me whole

My heart was lifted, I got a touch

Don't want to be angry anymore

Don't want to be in pain anymore

My God is faithful, he heard my cry

My heard is lifted, he heard me cry!


O, that God's people were not chameleons!

O, that they were as real as on Mount Zion!

But I'll keep my counsel to myself,

For at the end of days, the Lord knows his own..

IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO NOT KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Hello, and welcome to Haven Incorporated. This is the very first post minted in our press, and hopefully the continuation of something great. We hope you find value in this space and find it a place to stay. It's indeed a terrible thing to not know how great one is. Usually, we hear warnings to desist from pride and cease from arrogance, that pride goes before an unpleasant fall and humility comes before honour. But having a healthy sense of self and worth is not as emphasised. And I dare say, it's better to be proud than falsely humble! Just tonight, I saw a man who didn't know how great he was, and it pierced my heart to see him so. Maybe he knew, but only humbled himself for the moment, but I didn't think it necessary for him to have done so. But it's terrible to not know how great you are! It occurred to me that culture and tradition, perhaps, makes us stagnant and backwards in the face of progress. It is true that we learn great virtue and core valu...

THE STORY A PROFESSOR TOLD ME

A story my professor told me, A new way of life, it showed me; Those who are wise will hold this, For every man needs to know this. And so he said to me: A man came to him in need, Sir, I need your help to feed: My dear sir, please... But this wasn't the first, And surely won't be last, Professor thought to himself: We can't keep doing this. And, so, Professor said to him: I, as well, I am in need, You see, my car, I need to clean, And you, you need to feed, Can we consider it a deal? And the man thought it wise a thing. Indeed, it was wise a thing; To be paid as much as kings— Where do you find such a thing? Wise, if you know what that means! As the man washed Professor's car, Some also needed to clean theirs, So the man washed their cars, And also cleaned his scars, For a beggar's soul is scarred. Now, he doesn't need to beg; The wise will learn a lesson, In a story filled with lessons. A word is enough for the wise, Or for those who want to be wise.. ...

THE MAN WHO LOST ALL HOPE

This is the story of a boy who couldn't cope But there was a man who gave him some hope With love, he washed him like soap Till the depressed was full of hope. This is the story of the boy who couldn't cope Till a man came and gave him some hope. But, then, we heard he died; That is, the man who gave him some hope. But how did he die? We heard he took his own life Because he, too, couldn't cope... It's indeed strange, how some of the most friendly and helpful people in the world have deep struggles they share with no one, how despite giving hope to others, they end up taking their own lives, or keep suffering in silence. It's a deep tragedy indeed. Let's also take out time to give joy to those who always do their best to make us happy. © tokede el-iyanu 2021
