 Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss Is a Young African prolific writer,of Nigeria origin whose passion for poetry speaks volume, he is a business mogul and an award winning poet who has featured in different international anthologies. PROS & CONSI use to live like a pagan Though not that I don't know who God is, I only wanted my peace Instead of casting and binding my own neighbors any time am on my knees. Or busy rendering my offerings to enrich the rich. I wanted to live like a philosopher, Not that I don't know God exist, I only want to do things my way, Just for the sake of joy and bliss. I don't mind if I fail or succeed. There are time I choose to live like the scientist,Just to have more Knowledge of God, And prove the world wrong on the things they claim came to exist without origin or a trace. I would like to live like the great inventor, To create just like God, And be famous with my work. Most times I feel happy living Like a Muslim who is afraid to offend his God, Simply because he lives by the law. I use to live like an idle man or the street beggar who feel there's no need to work, only rely on the alms of strangers and friends, In as much he can eat and survive. There are some days i allow my pride to govern so people can know my worth I don't die in silent I only vomit my thought The other time when I decide not to be cool, I only wanted to be hot. I use to live like the rich, Who got his eyes on his wealth and care less about lending some of his time to God, Until tragedy befalls on him, then he can run back to the Church so his problem could be solved. There are period i live like a hypocrite whose Presence is felt in the Church, He's endowed with speaking in tongues, He even recite and preach God's word, he is faultless in his eyes any way, After all says and done, then he still go the way of the world. Sometimes I think and live like the poor, who doesn't bother acquiring much wealth, Could it be his thinking is low, He's always afraid of risk, hence he has a little food that can keep his strength. Often times I live like the parliaments, who would implement the law, and decide not to live by it Because to them obeying the law isn't by force. I am just like the philanthropist, who doesn't receive back what he give. Many ask and receive He extend his help to the less privilege in the street. I use to live as if am insane Even when going my way I talk only to myself I hiss and punch the air busy blaming my past. Several times I 've lived just like the common man who wants a simple life but restricted by the law of his land. I wish to be like the Christians Who were told to exchange right for wrong And the good for evil And give love for hate Only with their faith they can convince their God. I wish life is fair My problems I wouldn't like to share, Though life doesn't end up here, I know not everybody is aware. Isn't better to live for Christ If am to know nothing like sin? How can i be redeemed? Is there still holiness in me? MOTHER |
