A GRATEFUL AFRICAN GIRL CHILD

-


She stands unmoved in stature, 

Her echo sparks motion. 

Life takes pleasure in her posture, 

In her, living creatures celebrate her passion. 



The tycoons seek to inquire her dwellings 

The assassins attempt a plot in her lodgings. 

While surveyors pledge to navigate her hidings, 

Oh! poor men, little did they know that Africa holds her in cozy bliss. 



Beyond a word she is in appearance. 

Always motivating one to be a Saint 

Rejoices constantly and everywhere, 

She assumes and restores trust. 



She hopes in receiving. 

As she chastens the greedy in giving, 

Sorrow overwhelms her in grumbling. 

Unsympathetic she becomes to the ungrateful. 



She sounds low-priced to befriend 

But expensive to possess. 

Many have been canonized by her utterance 

Because she is the ultimate virtue. 



She embodies every race, age and gender 

She delights in her faithful followers. 

She affords in unifying the divided 

She hails a bounty blessing to the giver. 



Her existence is neither a coincident nor an accident 

Her triumph sanctifies the penitent 

Indeed, proper Gratitude is the virtue of virtues 

Its formula is simply just to say thank you!!

Earlier, love was the key to any kind of marriage but unfortunately, nowadays others factors such as education and income have changed the whole idea. A lady from a rich family is eagerly looking and waiting for a man from a rich family and vice versa. This implies that in one way or another, marriage has lost its meaning.

WHY WE ARE FRUSTRATED

In the History of Philosophy, some have defined man as what he eats and others as what he Thinks. In the Contemporary world, one will be in a better position to define man as he perceives Himself. In Psychology, a majority are driven or led astray by what we may refer to as irrational beliefs. For a highly emotional Being, such beliefs cause one to become frustrated and some even walk into an extent of committing suicide. One of the causes of Emotional disturbances in human beings is Dogmas. A certain lady in the University has already made it in her mind that after the four years in the University she has to Graduate with Summa Cum Laude (First Class Honour) whichever the circumstances. Such kind of demands makes one feel frustrated and demoralized which the coin happens to turn on the other side. From the shared experience, many have been frustrated even when it comes to the matters pertaining to relationships. Some individuals have in their minds that they have to be loved, lis...
