“…like over the dark cloud,
the sun will shine over
Turkey and Syria again.”
O Turkey,
O Syria,
Have you both been brought so low,
Reduced to a mere rubble,
And humbled in just a matter of moment?
A Reflection
True love
Is God-centred
True love is white.

Momma got me a bar of Liz Fizzy ice cream
And told me to read the direction for use
Before starting to leak it,
Warning me to open the wrap slowly and with care,
Not “too fast, too “far”,
Nor in a hurry as a Noah running to enter the Ark.

Elizabeth Alexander Mary Windsor, Her Majesty The Queen
Queen Elizabeth, mother of many nations
And once Queen of the world during the British empire.
As your birth into nobility was predestined,
So was your noble role in world affairs.
Ever since your coronation in 1953, Elizabeth,
You have in quiet dignity bestridden
World affairs like a colossus
With world leaders quaking
Before your awesome presence.
Though the British empire be dead and buried,
The world still stands in awe of your power and majesty.

The editor of Python Dance Magazine, Mr Maxwell Otapiapia, having like his counterparts in the other newsrooms in Magomago Republic collected 25 Manila from an arch anti-Christ, anti-Christians, anti-Christianity, Chief Jagajaga, an unapologetic Fulanist, a very scandalous, notorious and an obsessive compulsive looter, very well-known nationwide and globally for his zero integrity and principle, sent one of his reporters to interview the despicable, much despised politician, hated nationwide, internationally, and even in space, and in the Great Beyond.
In what was supposed to be an image laundry interview for the very rotten politician who trebles as the worm, the vulture and the chichi dodo of the Magomago Land, the reporter against the briefing he had received from his editor, decided to dig deeper than was expected of him by his gluttonous, greedy and kile jeku (?) editor and thus, landed himself inside a very big pot of okra soup, full of hard pomo, bony bonga and tilapia fishes:

Until now, until now (sobbing), Mother
In our delusion we had thought
we were protected, safe and secure
in your bossom of love.
And basking in the glory of this security
we carried on in our own very complacency
and self-confidence
Thinking we had conquered this place,
so would defend our freedom with fear and trembling.
We lived our lives like the "certain man"
Because our barns now
are full of bounty
And then we began to say to our souls:
Oh, souls, eat, drink and be merry,
for these are what our hands had gotten us!

Who set our earth on fire
That it should warm uncontrollably,
Causing prolonged heat waves
Which sears our skins,
And provoking stormy gales,
Glacial melting
And runaway flooding?
COMMENT BY MR CHRIS HOBBS, AN EX- BRITISH POLICE OFFICER ABOUT “BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD: A MESSAGE TO YOUNG BRITAIN":
“I think your book is excellent. In an ideal world, that book should be given to every head-teacher in the country. If I were a head I'd pick three messages every week and display them prominently, say in the entrance and /or assembly hall so every pupil could see them.
Congratulations.
Chris”
Our planet is warming very fast
With grave consequences
Wreaking havoc of unimaginable proportions.
The wild is in a fit of convulsion
And the rainforests are vanishing fast with frightening rapidity
Pushing species of wild flora and fauna to the brink of extinction.
In confusion, some are running round the globe aimlessly
As our earth in permanent chaos is about to burst into flames.
How come everyone
Has suddenly turned into a volcano
Erupting at the slightest touch,
Barking at one another on the tube
Like the Alsatian bulldog
And behaving like a cat and a dog?
Vlad, thou cannibal!
Having failed to achieve their so-called
Special Operation Objectives,
in desperation they resorted to purposeless
cruelty and downright wickedness:
Onward soldiers…
A Prayer for Ukraine
O Ukraine,
May the God of heaven and earth
who also is the God of all Ukrainians
defend and keep you safe from
the hands of your mindless aggressors – the Russians
and all of your other enemies –
within and outside the wall of your borders.
And may He guide and preserve you,
your children and their children’s children and your nation
until the time of the end and onto eternity.
O Ukrainians, may the God of Ukraine favour this your venture
as you confront the beasts, the crocodiles,
the hawks and the artic polar bears.
May He keep you and honour your great determination
to square up your aggressors, eyeball to eyeball
in this their unwarranted and unprovoked aggression,
returning fire for fire, missiles for missiles
Artillery for artillery,
Shell for shell,
Bombs for bombs,
Tanks for tanks
and guns for guns!
And may He supply all you will ever need
in accordance with His riches in glory by Christ, the Lord.
And may Jehovah Jireh never, ever let you down
in the provision of bread, victuals, and tools to defend yourselves.
And may He grant you exceptional wisdom and the courage
to discharge in these trying times, your duties as Ukraine expects.
And may He strengthen your hands against your enemies
and cause you to prevail over them!
And may Jehovah Nissi, who fights by the Ten Plagues
confuse your enemies and make them
to turn their swords against one another.
And may He cause you to prevail against them
on the mountains tops, hills tops, caves,
inside the clefts of the rocks and in the valleys,
and by the rivers and the sea sides,
in the seas, inside the ocean,
in and around the Black Sea
and in the wildernesses and on the highways,
in the air, on trees and on lands,
in and around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power,
in Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Mariupol, Bucha and on the Eastern flank -
Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk, Donbas and wherever in Ukraine!
May He send your enemies and their Commanders
into a deep and everlasting slumber for you to run through
their camps and make mincemeats of them for a global spectacle.
May God the Almighty, who never slumbers nor sleeps defend thee till the end.
May He who answers by fire raise His standards against and blindfold them.
May Yahweh cause you to overwhelm your enemies,
and make them to run away from your presence
with their tails in between their legs,
and protect you and your children from one generation
to another until the Day of reckoning;
*Protect you in the city as well as in the country;
protect your fruits, crops, and your nation;
your young ones, livestock, and pets —
your cattle and the beasts in your fields and forests;
your basket and your kneading trough He will protect,
He will protect you when you come in and when you go out,
The Lord will ensure that the enemies
who revolt against you will be defeated before you.
They will come at you from one direction,
but flee from you in seven.
The Lord will protect your *okuna
and everything you put your hands to do.
The Lord your God will protect you
in the land He has given you,
And He will make sure neither Russia
nor any nation can confiscate it from you.
Amen!
*A parody of Deuteronomy 28:3-8, written on April 4, 2022, with some words left as exactly as there are in the Bible, and the word “blessed” substituted with “protect.”
Okuna – Yala, for barns.
Dedicated to all the women of the world. You are the vessels that house and nurture the eggs of humanity and the royal highways of mankind’s voyage to earth.
Enu,
I was the child you carried in your womb for nine months,
And you were the vessel that for the season in your womb
offered me peace immeasurably and a fine restful place,
Nay, a refuge of priceless value which housed and protected me.
But how can any child forget such love, care, and protection?
