ODE TO OMO

-
This was written for me by Adonis from a previous reality of mine.....


Ode to Aiferhaomo
With a pair of damaged knees
A bleeding heart
And a stony stare

She came to the World
Thirsty for love; afraid of love

Barefooted she's been roving the plains of the Great Dessert
Since the beginning of time
Looking for her own Ithaca

Drained from the ages
All those hopeless battles she fought

Her body scarred from that endless rebellion
Against herself
And the soulless crowds

Eloquent in her silence
Compassionate in her cruelty

Tender in her roughness
Fragile in her rigidity

Submissive in her dominance
Dominant in her submissiveness

Playful in her loftiness
Cheerful in her sorrow

Sane in her lunacy
Ingenious in her triviality

Always balancing at the edge of the blade
A scared little child with the looks of a hardened warrior

Perfect in her immeasurable imperfections

A distant apparition of the African twilight

An elusive shape
So earthly and so celestial

Like a fallen angel
She stands between life and death....

Holding the key to my salvation

    Simply beautiful Omo. The lion and lioness represents you as you are both masters but he is the only one you submit to at the time. And the lion at the end is him looking into the distance thinking of you. It's quite beautiful. The images you use clearly interpret what the post is all about. Well done!

What "image " is GOD..?

The Bible, (according to the book of Genesis) says that God made us in his own image. Ok, fair enough..... But, what "image" is this exactly? Is it the Homo Sapiens? But..... the Homo Sapiens has been in existence for approximately five hundred thousand (500, 000) years. Mean-while, the Earth has been in existence for a little over four and a half (4.55) BILLION years (give or take 1%...). And the Human Race has no known affiliated residence of abode be-sides Earth. So, what image was this "man" that GOD created billions of years ago and what  "image" is GOD then if Humans are fashioned after him be-fore they (humans) came in-to existence? Ok, let us give room for skepticism and presume man did not originate from a single organism.... Good? Ok. Some automatons will say that is not a physical image, but a SPIRITUAL one. Ok. Let us look at this closely.... Let us start from the the Hominoidae; also known as the Grea...

Writings in the Sands of Time...

This happened to me some-time in the middle of February, 2011 A guide took me to a very deserted beach with-in the Lekki axis in Lagos State, Nigeria called the Ilasan beach.  It was very quiet, no sound save for the waves beating against the shore-line trying to over-power it with-out success. My guide promptly retreated out of sight as he sensed I did not need his guidance here. Smart fellow. I looked around me and had the feeling that I was the only human standing in the New World waiting to welcome the cross-overs from the Old World. I felt I was the inhabitant of another planet as there was not an iota of civilisation in sight with the exception of a once proud ship whose progress had been abruptly stopped by the First (1st) Battalion of Sand guarding the shore-line. It had been slapped in the face several ways by Mother Nature for daring to enter her territory.  A sorry sight to be-hold, in-deed it was. I looked at the ship and I wondered if it had contai...
