The Illusion Of Freedom.part 2

Apparently not stable as it sounds or as it seems when someday the advocate of democractic principles might be denied of the fruit of their clinical prejudice and the state is thrown into utter chaos the inherent monumental setback as a result tends to testifies to the fact that front loaders'prejudice regardless of their democratic principles is really nothing democratic than the tolerance for the demise of that principles as to the autocratic choice of that principles to which they surreptitiously subscribe to apparently quashes all the good aims of fabled public system by fabled advocate of autocratic principles rather than the true advocates of democractic principles marred in the truck load of prejudices and not perception.This betwitch the followership and the leadership with humongous prejudice tearing the humanistic edifice of the society of any at its most critical period.It also set developmental history back generations unlimited and can be damaging to retrieve the democratic principles of those unique leadership age of concrete political ideology once the structural damage is done.In my fiction novel a chapter entitled: Political Intolerance In Nigeria,the author makes reference by comparison of three military regimes of Obasanjo,IBB and Buhari unleashed in the interview with Tam David West who was minister under three regimes ranked Buhari leadership in terms of transparency light years ahead of any government in Nigeria excluding Gowon under control of late obafemi awolowo.

IBB had taken over power by prejudice and until he had slew his intentions, Nigerians never really knew he was a distraction cluttered with only prejudice resorted to commiting same offence you accused the erstwhile president or predecessor of doing.What an embarrassing start!He claimed the predecessor was servicing loan with forty percent of federal revenue and when he had delivered the first budget announced same figure.He announced same figure to the consternation of Tam David West who had queried him and called his attention to the quagmire of commiting same you accused your boss.Another official with west during inaugural speech had called his bluff nodded at Tam David West after noticing same IBB committed.When alerted to the same error IBB was embarrassed and slashed ten percent from the same error and still did not down unnoticed.Till date or ever since debt service had stolen a huge chunk of federal revenue and only difference there was no barter to the extent the then incoming administration of bola Ahmed tinubu noticed about 90 percent of federal revenue used for debt service.After removing subsidies over 6 trillion naira gain barely reflect in national fortune.

We live in the illusion of freedom especially the tangled knot of economic freedom.Correspondingly the entrepreneurship of the democratic principles and democratic space at social reengineering is often blurred . Consequently, marred by prejudicial politics multiplying nightmares of the inherently unattained democratic freedom and long term betrayal of universal justice.

The Illusion Of Freedom.

The illusion of freedom doesn't have the strategic imperatives to illuminate the concrete structure of freedom and as soon as it dissipates the dissidents in the fabled trenches of farcical rigmarole revert back to their shackles.Peradventure the funniest thing hardly fathom nor come into cognizance that their somewhat bright perspectives was mere victory of vicious cycle of illusion than the concrete crusade of freedom and the endowment of freedom was apparently driven far from the horizon of their repugnant wishes.

However the environment of freedom can be fabricated in the most ideal political frame work to govern the calculated or estimated structure, vision and substantial but proven concept of prejudice to fulfil purpose of freedom .This is significant by first imbibing the concept and the ideology and the ethical concept that permit evidential disposition of freedom as maybe thoughtful by the protagonists.It therefore should be in concert with their wonderful eligible protocols and hallowed principles to secure the freedom alongside affordability of that freedom.When the society has decided or deem it fit to allocate most rational choice to procure certain strategic limit of freedom mostly affordable to all sundry then the golden quest of freedom cannot be betrayed by those majority who subscribed to the ethics of that freedom.The universal sanctity and sanction of that affordability for which they clamour tagged democratic freedom is more or less amplified in the long haul to bestow universal justice to the society.Every critical attempt to democratise the use and consumption of freedom to earn the rational tag often dovetails into universal justice.It snowball into the same results either by the use of prejudicial politics or by the use of politics of perception excluding the swiftness generates similar outcome.

The price of freedom mostly affordable where the inherent components of freedom tenets are much hallowed and adopted by the crusaders of perception and not crusaders of prejudice.Either of the nightmares could push the frontier excluding the swiftness and speed in favour of the former the longitude and latitude of that championing frontiers maybe thoughtful enough to secure their goals of universal justice.Under the assuredly censure of objective duress,the sanctimonious quest of universal justice is much desired.Until the principles of beleaguered state hegemony realizes their critical inability the practice of whatever tradition to attain universal justice closes critical access to the chosen path towards such hitherto elusive attainment.The fundamental structure of public system when fully baked and harmonized tends to streamline and redefine those tangible tenets and affordable ideology to democratise freedom from the puzzles of chosen path acclimatise the exponents accessible logics with accessible facts to wield adequate arsenal to compel the attainment of its democratic principles of universal justice.The declaration of the strategic intents of the state is downright impossible without the objective muse of this democratic principles.This leverages rational path towards societal justice as the case maybe in the quest to influence the strategic interaction of human relations over its competition with other categorized form of relations using the democratic space to bear fruit opening up the principles in alignment with the declaration to attain the outcome of this state outlay the end goal of universal justice.Otherwise the illusion of freedom persist where the brazen denial of democractic principles abound aggravated by the critical deficiency to entrench democratic space in the practice of complementary capacity building human and institutional to attain the wit's end of the public goods.

Omiyale

Too much flooding tears shop apart 

As the Yoruba adage says

Mostly derogatory remarks 

For over flooded cities and towns 

Often mused in the museum of 

Bad context

Now taken in the positive context

I say of my artesian wells let it not dry

Omiyale orire

Flood of benediction 

Visit my shore 

Sacrifice

Nothing like obedience 

You probably have heard 

Obey before complaint

Obedience can take many form

Training,compliance, humility,

Ethical submission, undertakings

Transactions,actions, performing rites

Even sacred rites

And lo behold the father and mother 

Of obedience beyond compare 

They call it what?Tell me

Do you know it?

So you don't know it

They call it

"Sacrifice"

I mean literally the same word

Sacrifice 

Stewardship Of Grace

O grace keep this luck

For my brethren 

Those who believe in me

So that they might share heritage 

Faith enjoins grace

To promise him

Stewardship 

Be blessed with stewardship 

Of grace

Wise Action

No need to hope in vain

When all deeds are woes

Then nature send you grace 

like the healing rain

To take you down 

To the promise land

And the gracious horse

It sends to whisk thee

Across the sand dunes 

By grace of motion

Favour of the mile

And luck of the mile

To entertain the notion

That only grace can carry

Favour or luck

And perspiration 

Across the Sahara 

Into the promiseland

And he warn you 

Not to despise

Wise action 

Only Mere Grace

How merciful you re with time if your predisposition praises thee

And everything works for you 

To hear that whisper that it lies in your capacity 

Is the biggest mistake and understatement of the century 

A small luck cannot carry grace

Only mere grace can carry the golden feet 

Perseverance Repays

Behind a simple logic will can act to lift the poor and the weak 

Lies rewards aperture of time with truth

Not always the hearth we feel but the storms

Yonder the everlasting breathe,perseverance with gallantry repays 

When nothing else count

Keep the lofty skies

Keep the lofty skies where provisions and expectations quietly fail

Through unwarranted decision and unwary path unknown 

Where grief gives success freely in purple birth

And favor replies thee with honor

Dangote Refinery And Petrochemical Revolution In Nigeria:A Behemoth At A Crossroad.

Nigerian economy is closer to its promise land than previously envisage and the emergence of Dangote refinery open up massive opportunity for economic fortune.Ibikunle Abraham Laniyan the blogger examines the benefits from the refinery and suggest the way forward on how it can make Nigeria the world largest economy in five years.Enjoy the piece.

Nigeria imports 90% of annual polypropylene needs worth $267m. about 250,000 metric tones of polypropylene.Now with Dangote refinery Nigeria is going to be the net exporter globally. Dangote has inbuilt capacity of 900,000 metric tonnes almost a million metric tones of polypropylene plant in the Dangote $2billion petrochemical plant will surely contribute a lot to the projected $1tr economy.

About 1.7million worth of jet fuel was exported by six vessels to America and about 350 million jet fuels exported to the middle east

The first crude or maiden supply of the 1million barrel came from Agbami 1 belonging to shell international trading and shipping company (STASCO) one of the largest trading in Nigeria with 8million barrel per day 

The truth is that we know petrochemical or petchems are chemical products obtained from petroleum by refining. Also chemical compounds at least a few of them obtained from petroleum also made from other fossil fuels like coal or natural gas or renewable sources like maize,palm fruit or sugar cane .Olefins and aromatics are the two most common petrochemical classes and we refer to ethylene ,butene, butadiene used in synthetic rubber and propylene as Olefins and Benzene,Toluene and xylene isomers as aromatics .

Oil refineries by fluid catalytic cracking of Petroleum fraction produce Olefins and aromatics .Hence by steam cracking of natural gas liquids such as ethane and propane chemical plants produce Olefins unnlike aromatics produced by catalytic reforming of naptha.The two become the building blocks of wide range of materials from solvents, adhesives into detergents.For instance Olefins became the basis of polymer and oligomers used in the production of resins, plastics,elastomers,fibers, lubricants, gels etc. Synthetic gas a combination of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to produce methanol and other chemicals. Unlike steam reforming plants, steam crackers are used to produce hydrogen and ammonia used in fertilizer urea.

Petrochemicals derived from oil and gas are used in more than 6,000 every day products worldwide.From food to beauty care products they re predominantly used in the every day life of modern consumers.

For instance chocolate coatings contain food grade paraffin wax derived from petroleum,coal or shale oil.It creates a glossy sheen when blended with chocolate 🍫 upon hardening to keep chocolate solid at higher temperatures since it has a low melting point.Toothpaste contains oil derivative such as polypropylene glycol,added for reasons like flavouring,anti bacteria properties and texture.Poloxamer 407 is another petroleum derivative to help toothpaste dissolve in water.Sodium saccharin artificial sweetener is another petroleum derivative to kill plaque.Take your perfume for instance when you adorn them especially those perfumes you re probably using the bones of long dead people or animal on your body .Instead of essential natural oils many fragrances use petroleum derived oils.Galaxolide,hedione,Iso E Super are samples of annerlike aromatic synthetic oil with jasmine scent.Paint use the same component adding plastic polymer to paint make the water resistant and durable.Plastic based paints adhere to surfaces with less crack compared to other natural option.Synthetic oli also allow for better range of color.To some extent paints are made up of one third plastics .

Moreover,most pills are coated in plastic,to encourage easy swallow.With synthetic components active ingredients are preserved from degradation so easily so that they have longer shelf life.Petroleum derived synthetic oils are also used in food flavouring like vanilla flavor ,almond and lemon.From petroleum jelly derived from gas and oil to laxatives made polyethylene glycol for skin moisturizing and skin protection from cracking and dry skin down to shaving cream and air freshener were derived from the same crude oil and synthetic components.What a great revelation of technological discovery for the massive contribution of mordern civilization.

While petrochemical products are produced in few manufacturing locations around the world African countries to be industrialised must fund the manufacturing base .The question which of the petrochemical products are we producing in black Africa especially the 49 black African countries prior to the emergence of Dangote refinery the largest single train refinery world wide ? Seriously none.This dearth today is resolved by Dangote refinery and Nigerian economy a potential world beater.

Dangote petrochemical plant produces at least 77 different high performance grades of polypropylene and currently eyeing $130billion global propylene market.

A refinery that has the capacity to load 2,900 trucks per day,4.6milion diesel,4million aviation fuel and 10.4million metric tonnes of gasoline per annum. It was begun in 2013 with estimated cost of $9b.later ballooned to $15b.in 2017 with ballooning of the forex rates mechanically completed in 2019 and commissioned in early 2020.But the work was ongoing as it incurred some delays due to COVID-19 pandemic Edwin Devakummar Dangote Group executive director said at a petroleum summit.

On June 2021 he put project construction progress at 79 percent and overall project completion of 89.5 in terms of engineering procurement and construction basis.By the time former president Muhammad Buhari commissioned the refinery a year later it had gulped 20billion dollars.Some debt finance 50% and some equity finance 50percent according to some sources.On may 2023 when the refinery was commissioned the total debt profile of the project had ballooned to $27b.

It is expected to serve as foreign exchange earner for the country easing the import bills especially from crude oil importation the rose trippled over five period from 8.4b.dollars in 2017 to  $23.23b.in 2022.according to CBN which also projected if the importation persist the country could spend up to $30b.by 2027.It says it could save the country of almost $30b.importation cost and add another $10b.foreign exchange inflow through export of refined products boosting foreign exchange reserves.

It means the size of foreign reserve in the country which rose to $47b.could be wiped out in less than a year and a half on import Bills.One man Áliko Dangote saved the country from this somewhat eternal mess in the supposedly biggest investment ever in tropical Africa.

The refinery sits elegantly on swampland about seven times the size of Victoria island or Singapore,about 2,635 hectares of land reclaimed with about 65million cubic metres of dredged sands used the world largest dredgers costing $326 m.It drilled a total of 250,000 piles in the civil works in the facility that is comprised of 177 tanks of 4.742 billion liters capacity.The refinery powered by 435 megawatt capacity power plant has by far the largest sub sea pipeline structure in the world to handle three billion cubic metres of oil by capacity per annum.

 It secured ten contractors and 900 engineers to work on the monumental projects.From Fabtech ,WABAG, Engineer India ltd handling Engineering procurement and construction all companies,in India,are suppliers to the project down to Honeywell UOP  in US,supplied catalyst regeneration and dryer control system, high performance column trays,heat exchanger tubes,modular CCR unit,catalyst coolers etc,SOFEC in US, Schneider Electric in France,Air Liquide Engineering and construction a French company supplied SMR unit,Sulzer Chemtech,in Switzerland, supplied packing,trays,internal columns or column internals,German based Man Diesel & Turbo supplied two compressor trains.Jan De Nul Group in Belgium handle land reclamation on 2,400 hectares; Mammoet in Holland provided a heavy lifting and transport solution plus South Korean Hyundai heavy industries built 15 liquefied petroleum gas tanks for the refinery;C &I leasing a Nigerian company provided transportation and installation services for the subsea pipelines and mooring systems.The young engineers mechanic engineering and process engineers were trained in refinery operations abroad and in GE University in Italy and honey well UOP trained process engineers for six months.The remainder were trained in Bharat petroleum corporation,in Mumbai, India.

It put in an over 60,000 hours of manpower and machine in a labour intensive technology laden endeavours of six years in a roll where over 126 heavy duty trucks daily mooring the earth surface alongside 750 heavy duty equipments plowing the massive land in Ibeji, Lekki was a marvel to behold.The 435 megawatt power plant can meet the total power needs or total power requirements of Ibadan discos at about 860,316 Megawatt per hour covering five states in south west excluding Lagos.The refinery is blessed with the world largest granite quarry with ten million per year production capacity with additional 332 cranes bought to improve installation capacity in the country that was formerly poor. 

They bought over this cranes given the fact even Julius Berger,Dantata and Sawoe,Hi tech and the like lack the capacity to supply even a tiny portion of the construction requirements of heavy earthmoving equipment,bulldozers, excavatos and materials like bobcats, compactors and front end loaders.The group of all the APC contracts only obajana and refinery complex projects were handled by the group.

It will generate over 100,000 indirect employment in the retail outlets and leads to establishment of 26,716 filling stations and 129 depots in the country.It will create almost a million jobs in the entire value chain.

The fact sheets from the project covers more than 100percent of all the country requirements.Take a look at the intimidating statistics: gasoline 53 million litters;Diesel 34 million litters per day; Kerosene,10million liters per day; aviation jet 2million litters per day.Interestingly it also has a surplus of these products for export.The refinery standard designs complies with world bank and US EPA, European emission norms and department of petroleum emission /effluent norms.The products also comply with Euro V specifications.

Now with the emergence of Dangote refinery the threat of monopoly by the NNPC,NUPENG etc trended heavily .This was after the unverifiable claim of substandard products was debunked by same regulatory authorities that mooted the falsehood in the first place.There were fears 50,000 trucks might go under,in addition to the fact PETROAN raises alarm over 260 tank farms could also go under.

As Dangote refinery deployed compressed natural gas trucks long seated subsidy cabals are bent in frustrating the move.The Nigerian economy is undergoing complex petrochemical revolution as an aspect of massive of economic revolution in an unprecedented scale in black Africa.

Why are they bent on demarketing the biggest mordern black man investment attempt ever at industrial revolution in black Africa?

The recently sacked 800 employees of Dangote refinery much linked to unionism was settled by the federal government and reposted elsewhere to other companies in the Dangote Group without tampering with their pay and emoluments.Dissents are diverse over the heavyweight investment a turning point in the industrial revolution of black Africa.

Midland Cosmos ltd: Another Competitor

In the background 

I think today everyone is talking about Dangote Refinery,wait for the emergence of Laniyan Refinery owned by Laniyan Brothers ltd a subsidiary of Midland Cosmos as the plan for 5 million barrel per day is being finalised to come on stream by 2030 once the company is successful with current ongoing private placement project.We shall fund a refinery city in the north where seventy percent of the nation's landmass is located.

Midland Cosmos providing competition to Dangote refinery expect a lot from its plan Nigeria world biggest economy before 2030 when the refinery would be completed.Watch out.

Robins In The Woods

Hardly had the golden morn fizzle 

Did his Robin spirit wade into the woods 

And soft rain begins upon the burning woods and odour of smelly ground dissipates

Chirping birds and swallow encircling the shimmering clouds at shuddering distance 

Tremulous whitened quivers of wild plum trees

Frogs in the pools gyrating the singing nights

Robin not merely playing in the camp fire but also behold robins playing with the feathery fire;Whims whistling on a low fence wire

The hedgehop and wild trees in rectilinear engross

Absorb the droplets of smoky clouds 

Crystal moon at the red branch against the earth flowing breast,

As snow upon this blossom lain

A sojourner from antique land with vast chunk of sturdy legs of iron stones

Shot the woods with elation

Thorns of thorough fire assuage over dale over hill

Same thoroughness hurled over bush bier,

From.park , hideouts to pale, flood,

Traverse sunlight from ripened grain to diamond glints and glistens on snowy cliffs 

Genteel autumn rains awakening the morning hush

Soft stars sparkled at circled flights 

Flightless birds taken to flight at last

Of sunny birds ought to fly higher than their immaculate shores

What attic of parting shot to kiss you on the brow

To the submission of golden dreams for a flora of recess at the golden hills.

Robin's golden feet weathered every rack

For the requisite trophy at the port of no return 

Carolled with exultant bells routed with prying eyes,fallen upon the steady keels

With daring and grim vessels grimacing the plow 

Bouquets and ribboned wreaths upon his nightmare of golden feet 

Beyond fallen cold and dead where the flung flag is adorned with bugle trills

Clanging bells over anchored voyage swift and sound

Beat wilful pulses to exultant shores

Not the barren field with broken winged birds frozen with snow

Did it ends it the oddysey but meadows floated with pots of gold above the ignoble pistols of the pitiless waves.

Feast of nerve and sinnew blossoming beyond the immoderate sands

Standing above the roar of surf tormented shores 

Wonderment upon the grains of golden sands as they creep in the fragile hands that tremble the immaculate deigns of horrifying breathe of wary nature 

What a revel of jocund company flashing that inward eye the bliss of solitude with heart pleasure fills,

Over the sparkling waves in glee over vales and hills

Till the host with the golden daffodils,army of nature's luxury 

And dances that dance with daffodils beyond dancing breeze and continuous as the stars.

Behold how slippery feet elude Robin on a friction of slippery slope 

To gallivant beyond the skies.

Hamiltonian America.Bookworm At the Battle Of Monmouth.Chapter 11.page 7,8,...

"Did Lee do well at Monmouth battle?"

"I think that's where leadership skills come in.He was below average regardless of bravery that Hamilton showed at his sides when he says "I will stay here with you my dear general and die!Let us all die rather than retreat!"but compelled the army onto full blown retreat instead of charging them .When he was interrogated by Washington about his fears in which Washington says"What is the meaning of this sir? " He asked as he galloped up to Lee in  retreat with the forces who replied"The American troops would not stand the British bayonets ".

"And Washington did say what?"

"Have you tried them? Let me quote in strict terms.He says"You damned poltroon you never tried them".He was not used to profanities but for the first time  unleashed in desperation to subdue Lee's insubordination and as one eminent general says"till the leaves shook on the trees".

"So it was not a lie when they say American idolatry of Washington was begun at the battle of Monmouth .On the same June 28 1778, the thermometer reached ninety degree a memorable day of stifling heat when some soldiers waist up rode naked .Despite being under Hamilton's scout with emboldened words,the poltroon did not shirk his cover to retreat. Washington rode white charger horse donated by William Livingston Governor of New Jersey in the recrossing honor to Delaware.When it drop dead from the heat like horses and riders that expired from heat fatigue same period he switched to chestnut mare.By sheer force of boldness and will he redirected the retreating forces and says "stand fast my boys and receive your enemy...the southern troops are advancing to support you"he shouted as he ordered Lee to the rear and goaded the soldiers to drive the British from the field .What a remarkable sedative effect that Lafayette was perturbed to comment "Never had I beheld so superb a man".It was complimented by Hamilton when he spoke to Elias Boudinot"I never saw the general to so much advantage".That "his" own"coolness and firmness were admirable.He instantly took maneuvers for checking the enemy's advance and giving time for the army which was very near to form and a proper disposition.....By his own good sense and fortitude he turned the fate of the day....He directed the whole with the skill of a master work man."

"Did you notice more horses were shot down at Monmouth than was expected?"

"You re right.Hamilton's horse was shot down and the same with Aaron Burr's horse too short down from under him.The latter was bugged down by nausea and probably by exhaustion took a temporary leave of absence by October.It was also worsened by his lack of promotion under Washington.Like Washington Hamilton was bestowed with laurels for the Singular proofs of bravery and courted death under fragile circumstances and survived it.Althought it was not an outright victory for the patriots where the British escaped unhurt for the next day.Observers rated the battle a draw still the continentals murdered or injured more than a thousand troops four times the American casualties.The troops having escaped the earlier dread of shameful retreat ,performed beyond the average.

When he arrested Lee for disobeying orders and messed up a beautiful showcase of the American strength in a court martial Hamilton was a witness against Lee that took place in July in New Brunswick under supervision of Lord Stirling.His conduct was "unpardonable and monstrous" as Hamilton spoke to Boudinot they would stand by the court martial verdict .He had some sympathizers like Arron burr who still subscribed to the opinion that berrated Washington's military talent.

Then Hamilton on July 4 and 13 gave damaging report on Lee's questionable character and his lethargy at making a critical attempt to stop enemy's advance despite being told by Washington.He was given suspension of one year from the army because he was found guilty on all counts.He told Burr he planned to resign the commission in October to Virginia and learn to hoe tobacco.But like Conway cabal he and his minions continued to villify Washington and Hamilton especially his testimony at the court martial.In December,Lee in print under pseudonym heaped monumental abuse on Washington and when John Laurens, compelled Hamilton to write a rebuttal,he rebuked ."

"How did the rivalry end?"

"My brother it ends with dueling .When Hamilton fails to rebut the pen of Junius then Laurens instead challenged charless Lee to a duel and he was almost killed where he accepted the superiority of Washington and stop vilifying crusades .You know dueling in those days was a means of restoring dignity and protecting honor by men who felt abused.Dueling was prevalent in the continental army in those days.

Sweet Transformation

How is it you grow earlier

Selves and much better 

At home with your self 

With each stage of

 transformation 

This is

Sweet transformation 

Frustration

Is frustration a myth

Or a misunderstanding 

Of your whole existence 

Super heavens

Seven magical numbers

On my head

Seven layers of existential 

Hierarchy 

From the bottom of the earth

To the unknown hearth of 

The super heavens 

Feet Of Gold

Your victorious moist hands

Your drop dead gorgeous 

Historic feet of gold 

Cladded with golden roses

For the wondrous heritage 

Of beautiful spring tide.

Black Power's Crucifix

Indeed enlightened 

Are the causes of the night

I uncovered possible causes

Of death

From the crucifix of Christ 

Lay the power of Sheol

For through that wedge

Stand the angels and spirits 

Of death and darkness 

Transform my understanding 

How we die beyond natural courses

Hail spiritual course in this crucifix

As the harbinger of death and darkness 

Christ wields death as the ultimate end of

Every elongated nature including earthlings 

The darkest forest strip medulla of its sedate powers

At forty years of age and beyond 

Medulla is turned into stenches of stinkpot

Murky dirts of toilets and excreta

Wobbling the spirit of Christ and siblings 

Behold how the inner stinks of medula

Beyond ethereal stench was catalyst to the death of the homosapiens 

Still not knowing their plight flock holy houses 

In the growling and raving of desperate supplicators to no avail 

No resolution ever undertaken beyond the magnificent unveils unbundled by blackoower's refrain 

Since the nocturnal expedition of his spirit spine toggling traverse 

Unveiled the fragile secrets

The bitter end goes up in smoke

Unless black power is worshiped

Stinkpot and ejectamenta outpourings 

Flung into demise of hapless mortals 

May persist

Behold Christ crucifix today reverts the emotive dungeon into

Black Power's Crucifix.

An Uneasy feeling

I Ve felt much the same before 

But it was never like this unusual norm

My body misfire the dream target

And quivers with the error of ommission

Where my senses return from the empiricism of foul error committed 

And now back at the drawing board 

Restrategised for greater heights 

An uneasy feeling 

Dare

Dare if you must wouldn't it be better by making the world a better place 

Travel four corners of the world 

Ponder the difference between your experience and expedition 

Dare if you must even when time not on your side 

From climbing the mountains to labours 

On farm fields,

Sounds to hear,dance to the dancers

From cherished friend to satisfied life

Dare if you must even when the world is not believing in you

From the sunny eyes to windy hair

From golden drifts of snowy flutters

To showers of rain 

That will be spoken of in the distant galaxies 

Dare if you must even when you have reached your wit's end 

That your place in history is not negotiable 

Glorious antecedents recovered from glorious feet of great dreamers

To dare the travails of all slothful bent

And hallowed ground blooms the ways and means of the world 

A Longing Lap

Nature is a longing lap

As shown in the 

plants and species

Or what the world call weeds

Open up like a constellation 

As they tear up ere noticing

The manner in which flowers

Open up

Standing in early light and endeavouring 

To open up like longing heart

Of a person after years of longing 

Deep and far

Finally open up into the cesspool of bliss

And of peace 

Oko Oloyun

With the discretion of the holy writ and wit

Corpus of mortals freaking 

The battle of wit glides from the open shop at the sesame street refined by the open hearth to operate the open door policy 

To both avantgarde and delitantes,cunts and the sapient alike

As opus curry its favor from the indulgence of art and industry,

 Not confined to the oracular circus of the avantgarde alone

But bookworms in the mould of Oliver twist 

Whose ordinand to lay is crowed from the orifice of the orgiastic ordinates.

To those who barely refrain from its mounds of osmosis,

The organic creeps hardly vacillate nor oscillates 

Cudgeling the moving trains for an ounce 

And by ounce for an ounce, tremendously

Ploughed in ounce for ounce for the cumulative hap'orth of tar 

To outdistance fellow gladiators beyond outmatches 

Outmaneuvered,outflank, outgrow outfox out general outflow,outfight , outnumber and outdo the perilous outlays of wit mongering 

Does he outsell him and how do you know?

Gone are the days of wilderness sands,the bard had committed himself to internet bazaars 

Browsing hours was preceded by morning introspection 

Hurled into the commotion of the information commerce

"NEPA has taken light oh my gosh"

"Come to betting centres and we charge for free"

"Good"

They embraced betting centers for phone charging and moved from one betting center with the one behind igando brt to the one at Egan road to the facing the igando upstairs at the igando market became the frequent places of visit.

"Buy solars my brother the pain of charging outside was just too much .We lost outside.Buy solar"

"I will buy once we collect our tenants money from home town.Dont worry "as he left the house to charge phone admonished his brother to take heart and have patience.Almost a decade before they were lucky to raise enough money after they moved into the alakwa house.This time around it was behind brt igando,had frequent the place for couple of of year 

"Who is most powerful person in the world and which country?"

"You mean riches or everything including power?"

"Which one do you know?"

"I give it to king Charles"

"American presidents"

"You maybe wrong because they re in power for four years or maximum eight years at the end of tenure must vacate power.But king Charles a king rule forever till death.His mother bequeathed him the most powerful throne in the history of mankind after having ruled as the oldest monarch for seventy years."

"You lied the American presidents"

"Don't you get it?"

"I don't know why folks can't reason clearly.Just four years and eight years and you re gone"

"See king Charles control the whole world directly and indirectly.He is the head of state of thirty two countries not sixteen including Bahamas, Australia, Canada etcetera.As a matter of fact in 1923 controled a quarter of world landmass.As we speak king Charles control over 46m.km of landmass more than the largest continent of asia at 44m.sq.km.Fear that vikings family "

"Are they vikings too?"

"Yes they re vikings from the days of Roro to the days of king William the conqueror and his vikings' folks came to england conquered all the kingdoms east Anglia etc and have been ruling since."

"So stop the argument.We don hear you,Mr history "oko Olohun remarked involuntarily.

Since that time he had dominated every argument and the became the tension of hate and center of gravity.

Hardly a diurnal rituals beyond compare that consumed the browsing hours 

And lo the betters and gamblers chorused

In their barbarian accents

Boisterous rapscallions in their obstreperous outpourings and vociferous calamities of uncouth tongues

Wag in tireless mode and asinine cheeks

"Who wins the argument today?"oko oloyin remarked bitterly

As he grimaced a shock of death knell and anticipated pang

"Oh you wanna know?"

"Yes tell"as he drooled for instant response 

"Buy a drink"then oko oloyin refused and inquire the next jolly

"Dele who won the intellectual debate?"

"Why don't you want to tell him"he chided Dotun

"Why should I tell him?Just to save him high blood pressure"retorted mockingly 

"You re not fair.You better tell him.Otherwise I will not "

"Tell me who won"as ola checked his betting tickets launching hysterically to those who says manchester united did not win the match

"See you dele man UTD won the march"

"Na luck.pure luck."

"Why re you dribbling me tell me?"dele was mute and ola looked away then oba machala drew closer and provided the schocking answer 

"Of course guess what "

'your enemy won"

"Why did you tell him now or you want to give him high blood pressure that prof won?"

'blackpower our prof won "

"I don't even know why he so much hate black power "

"Fortnightly we do debates here and often times he wins and there's no need to know his brilliance "

Oko oloyin in repugnant gusts pushed dele and ola to the ground.

"Haba it hasn't come to that "

"But black power doesn't play games and very good in argument hardly loose unless he chooses to dodge one"

"What do you know about him?He said it times without number."

"Leave him alone.he s the master"

"But he doesn't bet and not good in sports"

"Try him and be disgraced as he disgraced Oko oloyin"

"Hey stop it "okooloyun slapped oba machala for praising prof."and threatened to ban them from the centers should they not concentrate on playing games .

Many visits to the betting centers were for the games and a handful came as phone chargers and sometimes lucky to be saved of the phone thieves

An organized syndicate and burgeoning crime at the betting centres.

"So he still wins again?"

"What was the argument about?"

"Ferguson the greatest coach in the history of clubside football "

Dotun praises italian coaches arrigo Sachi and Giovanni trapatoni etcetera "

"Who disputed it?"

"Dotun brought the debate and praised Italian coaches.Prof just entered quelled the raging mists of debates that went on for three hours"

"But I told them let prof come you go Keep quiet if he nails the poser"oba machala had boasted 

"Exactly we were surprised twenty five minutes after prof entered with his old phone plugged the charger after he heard their discussion and immediately mentioned Ferguson.Then the whole edifice of gamblers went dumb in  incredible silence"

"I told Dotun.You see yourself I told you prof would debunk your lies"

Iya Ibadan a bursty lady official in the betting centre at igando behind brt working under oko oloyin 

"He seems to dominate every discussion and some of the ladies drew attention to him."Chose sometimes to toast the scarlet ladies over the counter.His slow pace to approach one of the ladies some single mothers beyond greetings irked a given lady a single mother to wield against him broken bottle to venge his tardier approach at toasting ladies.Black power hardly forget that incidence.The popularity of the debates often motivated by large screen TV LG in the betting shop regularly invite argument during the watching and playing hours where spendthrifts branched to squander millions of lifetime savings on heavy gambling .

Meanwhile oko oloyun had made up his mind to chase away black power too from the complex and avert rising prosperity of debates that often go in his favor.Blackpower prior to the exit had linked one of the potential suitors to Emeka an ibo millionaire who also doubles income from betting as a mean of survival.

"Na only you know every thing they can't beat him in every discussion always the winner in every topic."iya ibadan baffled as he look intently amorous to the ibo guy introduced to her .

"So if I don't give you money you won't date me right?"

"You too argue"

"See Emeka my friend he get money he will poke you"as Emeka laughed hysterically and moved closer and iya Ibadan moved by the thought of making money from another ATM machine often the guys in the frantic lovers market.

Then another sets of debates came up now on a daily basis as freelance chargers and betters sat down to watch football matches at the peak of Ole Gunner Solkjaer as Man UTD when he won 18 matches unbeaten and given contract and then coaching performance nosedived till when Michael carrick shortly took over in a cameo,as the first English man to coach man u.The purchase of solar power gravitated black power onwards and saved him the ordeal of outside phone charging that sometimes expose phone to theft at owners risk like the inscription by oko oloyun at the center.

"Britain don't have anything na Nigeria Dem dey stealing our oil.I don't blame them I blame our leaders"

"America the world power civilised western world"another said 

"They don't know how to play ball.They didn't nothing in football"

"They play nothing and simple world cup they cant win"

"Prof is around this guy have started o.Hear them prof."

"Why would I answer them ? Reply them first"

"They said england don't know how to play ball and never won world cup before?"

"You what do you think?"

"They did win world cup"

"No they did not "

"What do you mean?"

"They did not"

"You mean the country that founded foot ball has not won world cup before?"

"Chey, biggest lie of the century.Na china and Greece founded foot ball.Liars .You and your so called prof.Let him talk .He has lost this argument already."

"They re disgracing us prof answer the guy"

Prof eager to douse the derogatory remarks gave one condition"See after I give you my answer you must do one thing take your phone and google the fact let internet be our judge"

"Be our judge first you boast too much here"oko oloyun malicious with malignant tumours in his irate navel grimacing in his sit few paces away Infront the betting bazaar in an uprising of uproars 

"This time prof will loose "

"Prof cannot loose hardly looses sport history and all rounder as well."

"Who no go university they call him prof?"

"He doesn't know anything.He sleeps at brt bus stop a homeless illiterate"

"Keep quiet let's hear prof" still sitting near Dotun his keen supporter.

"No china and India or Greece.England invented football.But first let me say England won world cup in 1966 in a final match where Geoff Hurst became the first person to score hatrick in a world cup final match.They played 442 pattern considered controversial at the time and the first time it was used.Ferguson popularised at old Trafford.So england invented football.Priot to the entry into england during the times of king James the first football to be played in England was the skull of a murdered thief .Prior to entry ball was being played with both hands and legs from the ancient china and Greece and elsewhere.So when it entered england the wise English men take a thorough study of the situation and separated the hands to form Rugby game and the leg separated to form the word football.So English men or england invented football "immediately he answered the first question first silence stuck at belated distance and then the eruption of anger by oko oloyun's at the center agog with bombastic appraisal and rejection and vitriolic vituperators took over .

"See prof is a liar it was Greece and china."

Googled his techno

"Which year?"as he readjusted his phone screen and sternly afix his burning visage.

"Uhmmmmm " as he struggled to catch the text

"Bring your phone let me help.Simple search they can't search and they love argument without information."

As prof collected the phone and clicked the first key word that says china and Greece invented the ball"look further down and study the dates"

"Grrttt.prof o too good"

"But I told you the same thing.Balls in those days were being played by both hands and legs.See read it "as he returned his phone "

"Then bring it again and see third keywords "clicked it and open stretch the screen towards his visages

"Do you see it?It reads 'it separated the hands to form Rugby and legs to football."Dotun also moved closer stood up on the bench as oko oloyun sat in grieve"So you be philosopher and you re not here to play game.Today I banned you from coming here"

There were uproars as prof gathered his dilapidated phone and charger and left the complex."finally you chased prof.away"

"This place will be fully dull"

"I don't know why in this country we don't want to accept the reality that someone is greater than you and more intelligent than you.Over a thousand debates prof had never lost one either he brings the argument or invited into the argument."

"Make him go we don't need him here"

"Keep quiet you dumb head"

"If you don't play games I will chase you too"as Dotun sat down quietly.

Three years after had met Emeka at the brit bus stop in the usual relaxation hours

"Emeka long we have met.How re you"

"Am fine.prof.you remember iya Ibadan you introduced me to ?"

"Of course I told her you have money that time and she will love you "

"See she loved die she get big breast we re lovers and she's my girlfriend "

"But I said it that time "they hugged and exchange pleasantries.Two weeks after

They met again.

"Prof.how far."

"Am fine.Is it true that oko oloyun impregnated iya Ibadan with two kids?"

'Na lie blatant lie.I have low battery would have dial her  Is not true.We chat a lot and she complained how oko oloyun maltreated one of her friends after he befriended same girl."

"Someone told me so I was irked to confirm the story."

"Prof you have not been coming there for the usual debates .I noticed long ago."

"Oko oloyun had a fight with and told not to come there."

"I knew you were dominating the debate every time"

"I don't know where so much hatred o.Since I bought Solar prior to commencement of Bola Ahmed tinubu presidency,made it convenient for me to charge phone at home and often times leave it a home."

"See I understand the ugly situation.Do you know why Nigeria is not moving ahead?"

"Why?"

"We don't respect the brilliant ones among us and give them platform to thrive.You re journalist much more intelligent than him a thousand times and you re good in every topics.The problem with us is when we fail to accept the responsibility that someone is much brighter than you is a case study problem we much confront We have to accept reality."as he chopped the knuckle with the journalist and departed for early morning obligations.

Spirit Of Victory

Spirit of victory mettle me

Spirit of victory mettle me 

When the nightmare itself is 

forlorn in a glut

When despicable despair

 howl in vain

And camel's back jubilate 

Upon crossing the snowy frost 

And the bittersweet memoirs 

Of the sand dunes 

When ado is guerdoned at the mill

And Achilles heels broke the barrier 

It instills

And broken feet with broken gourds 

Rejoice at the beautiful story 

of the golden spring 

We cannot get enough of the goddamn victory 

Unless the eventfuls are cremated by the spirit of victory 

Implicated me o spirit of victory 

May I be your gadget and open gongs of freedom!

Change Agent

You re change agent 

Oh are you sure?

If you truly a change

Yourself first

And become the change

You want to see 

In the world 

After you have sample

Effectively your 

Change techniques 

At the grassroot

Change Makers

You can not change others

If you can not first change yourself 

Only then can you change the world 

And bring the change you want to see

Be the face of the change and the

Embodiment of that glorious change

But the making of change is difficult 

For those who cannot change themselves Before thinking of changing others

Let alone a whole mass of human society And they fail woefully should they try

The power of change clings drastically 

To the change makers and not to everyone else 

When the sun of change funds its agent

Barely see none except this cabal of change makers

Executioners of society ills and protagonists of a new dawn 

We re the change that we seek

We re the makers of the change 

That we desire should we devise

A means of first change ourselves 

First then our environment then the communities,our village, beyond locality

States and nation 

That changes do not come easy and the virtues of change 

Click obstinately to thorny paths making the crave of change making a difficult mantra to all sundry

To those who could make changes affordable for the humanity 

Are first the greatest change makers of themselves before changing the entire world.

To make the world a better learn in your vicinage how to smaller changes

Then through the law of compounding 

Often applicable to wealth acquisition 

A community,a state and a nation

Can be changed in the glittering fragments 

Of wondrous reforms and social reengineering 

Change is feasible to this shore

When we proliferate this mode of Expensive expertise for the desired change.

Immaculate Silence

We re blessed above the graveyard 

We re dead to the ramblings of penury 

And apotheosis wreath at our household 

Above all kindled by everlasting peace 

And like my patriarch,fond of the adage

Driven by intuition and introspection 

That the inadequacy of today, surely at the portrait of time 

Shall paveway for the surplus of posterity

Encomium of destiny nature 's folk tales 

Hardly elope 

Not like peace earned in the unbroken waves of immortal tranquility and immaculate silence 

Nothing like immaculate silence 

Wonderful Mission

Funny things 

Absurd steps

Dejected ones

Rejected stones 

Useless trials

Useless errors

Unprofitable errands 

How do we define 

Wonderful missions 

Without cognizance 

Of all the above?

Wonderful missions 

Are made up of silly stunts 

Silly thoughts

And silly adventure 

All of the above 

All

Makes a

Wonderful mission

The Beautiful Days

The beautiful days ha e come

They're here with golden roses 

The beautiful days have come 

They re blessed with the morning dew 

And distilling showers of heavenly moisture 

The beautiful days have come 

Finally they re to stay 

To befriend their best friends 

Black power at the glory of wonderful 

Times 

I don't have limitations

I don't have limitations 

I think you don't have too 

Do not limit your potentials

What you don't know 

Can limit you

Striving to know 

Beyond your distant horizons 

Murky Clouds

Follow good counsel 

Stop believing sentiment 

Follow good counsel 

Good counsel is long lasting 

They come from

 repeated track records 

We do not live in oblivion 

Follow good counsel 

Shortest route

To accomplishment 

Not murky clouds 

Of trial and errors 

Avoid the murderous 

Tendencies 

Of this murky clouds 

Who can die for truth?

See the truth

And do not hide

See the truth 

Do not seal thy lips 

See the truth 

Let others see

See the truth 

Disclose all

See the truth 

What if you re endangered 

To sacrifice your hood?

Then prejudice erupts

From your medulla 

Your medicine of salvation 

Yet a fraud of existence 

Bestow on yourself 

Can you die 

For the salvation 

Of truth?

Of course nope

No one is insulated

From this armpit 

Of moral laxity 

And perhaps 

Truth may die

For falsehood 

To thrive

Who can die for truth?

Stop Saying No

Stop saying no

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You cannot do it 

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You cannot do it

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

Stop saying no 

You can not do it 

In Search Of Lost Time

Wonderful tales require wonderful experience 

Wonderful tales require beautiful story 

Wonderful tales bequeath beautiful history 

The magic wand of future tales

Who earns the fortune from the misfortune of times

It is wonderful tales told 

In the nightmare of lost time

Oh you re moved to seek 

The lost time?

In search of lost time 

There lays the luxury of mankind existence 

Not searching enough 

for the lost time 

Who do we blame?

The slacks in our soldiers 

The Beautiful Wit

"Does your granary hold ample treasure troves, gnomes ,curio, and gargantuan cruses to afford you asinine cheeks to lavish them?"

So says old grey beard that by the portrait of time the wreath of beautiful wit is hewn 

So soon as he was crumbly crouched in to a crotchety hilt

That he was crowed to stone the crow as the crow flies 

To avail himself gallantly beyond his crowfoot 

Not with the crystal balls of the crystal gazers 

Did he as a cunt cuckoo himself in cryptic heinously 

At the blind alley or rifted by cuffs of culdesac ?

What frequency of cumulative currency did they wield him currish curriculum to curry him favor of opulence?

Does the semantics able to decipher the contours of earthquakes when cyclones cutthroat the placid dawn?

A funky funnel at funky quarrying hardly surmise the dandified elements at their bequest of beautiful spring.

To dangle dampish dance on the pouncing birds

To reel the dead wood of the ensconcing deadpan,

At what fustian deed and fusillades did they deescalate?

Deep laid defecation of the illogical minds 

To defoliate and defuse the defiance of the broken gourds

At unseething the beautiful nuisances of unwary times

Those who deified those realms hardly bicker with the mainstream 

He was barefoot drifted from the pounce deification 

As he was at delirium distance beyond his seasons of dejavus.

Not the season of anomie to be deliquescent and delinquent 

To derelict enfanterribles and delinquent 

Ere the shitholes that turns stale at stolid and sombre lunges,

Was it not derogatory to despair the derring-dos 

With the nightmare of the season of dejavus?

Then the oscilants at this gyration of immaculate pulses 

Drivel devil may care at the dialogue of objective nemesis,  

Dewy-eyed dexterity at hollowed treacle 

Belowed the dialectics and the dialect of empirical but empathetic tongues 

Battling eyelid beyond the curated curio of dilatory deference 

Discourteous disconsolates with all the disc brakes of discolored discomfiture 

Disgruntled with disillusionment 

Still alarm to deface the efface of this beautiful eeries

Effete plows betrothed to the effervescence of the efflorescence plough

What sort of butchered effrontery is this tryst of eggshell paint or eggshell China?

To summon elation for the eardrum to dance to the tingling sensation of tympanic membrane 

And hawkeyed disdain not retroverted at amazing elixir of the insensate eclipses 

Garbages of emboldened embonpoint refrain from the tenebrous pawn

Emporium gallivanting to the eleventh hour 

Was like an eternity in the clownish crouch of his emended eager beaver 

Those who encode him could not withdraw his energy and frequency of the obliged storms 

Engineering idiocy at incriminated elf's

Dissimilitude at dissimilarity hung at beligerent distance 

Tenants of oblivious obliques and oblonged battle

To disturb dixieland when overtures of oracle is disarmed from the distressing rods

How come in the flights of the doghouse a sate rivets at the molasses of disjointed benumb

when the doggie is misled at dogleg and wanderlust like doggie 

Hardly banter to explore the dogma of windy gust?

Oh not baffled the immaculate conception of dogooders 

Fell at the discomfort of benignant trees 

Of the hardline clocks and jaundiced hard and fast aperture of the swollen doomsday 

And golden bliss was elongated as martyrdom avails 

The clamour and prejudice of fortuitous gloves and immaculate palms

Assuming the poltroon had disemboweled and disembark his wit

From impetuous bigotry of broken shards and broken gourds 

Night mare of successive recurrence might go berserk wanton in record time 

To grope with grapnel the disruption of broken gourd's grime at beautiful furnace 

Has there been any beautiful furnace in the atrophy of beautiful spring from broken gourds?

Far be it good as gripe may surfeit in distant bliss

To grill grind gross and grotesque the calumny of beautiful voices

Who silence them with utter rancor of themselves 

Where the heart blood not shed from the heatwave of the beautiful distance 

Gladdened at his orchards as the golden fruits endears themselves to harvesters 

In hedgehop fashion 

Not to pay heed to heebie jeebie in gelatinous smother

When grumpy and grumbling minds

Betray guipures of grundyism or refrain to enrobe themselves with its thick laces

For proprietary of decorum and insanity in public realms 

Nor wit purchasable in the grandiose bliss of harberdashery and bazaars of luxury 

As maybe trended like habiliments and assorted goods

The battle of wit is wrought at half cocked distance 

Mustured like the mustard from the empiricism of golden valleys 

Half wit they gallivant discretion they muse

At the clanging clamshells of belligerent distance 

At the portrait of time, shall be blessed with the wisdom of the writ and the wit.

Drastic hounds to gully the wretched abyss 

Behold the beautiful fortress returns with the glamour of beautiful roses.

Hamiltonian America.Chapter 11.BookWorm.page 5,6,7.....

"Among the many alterations which Lycurgus made the first and most important was the establishment of the senate which having a power equal to the king's in matters of consequence did ....foster and qualify the imperious and fiery genius of monarchy by constantly restraining it within the bounds of equity and moderation.For the state before had no firm state to stand upon leaning sometimes towards an absolute monarchy and sometimes towards a pure democracy.But this establishment of the Senate was to the commonwealth what the ballast is to a ship and preserved the whole in a just equilibrium."

"I know Lycurgus like Hammurabi a famous lawgiver from Asia among the ancient civilization and made considerable progress in legal freedom "

"Exactly.He did not evaluate the Lycurgus alone being promiscuous but also pay attention to salacious stories and peculiar sexual escapades and libidinous customs as reported by Plutarch."

"Sample please "

"For instance had unveiled a couple of them in the playbook a story in the ancient Rome where two naked noble men whipped young married women in a Lupercalia celebration.That the dirty women were particularly fond of such whippings as they imagined it aids conception.It was particularly funny when he says "how the young married women were glad of this kind of whipping as they imagined it helped conception". Lycurgus also endorsed permission of a husband by a bonafide man to impregnate his wife and also encouraged infidelity within rank and file of married women.Strange practices like allowing selected virgins and young men to go naked and dance naked Infront of married women in order to produce vigorous offspring at certain ceremonies were endorsed in the state tradition.

Intrigued by this story,Ron Chernow making a plaintful analysis later noted Hamilton went on to become the foremost constitutional scholar, unmatched secretary general in American history as well as the "protagonist of the first great sex scandal in American political history"

"To err is human..."

"Remember it was the victory at Saratoga that caused the french to recognize the American independence.Inspired by the victory were forced to enter into treaties both military and commercial with the virgin nation.This event was a time outspoken John Adams spoke and debunked great Britain as" the Mistress of the ocean".

The British thereafter replaced general Howe with Sir Henry Clinton as the commander of their forces in response to immediate entry of the French into the war."

"Was there any improvement?"

"Barely none and sometimes dangerous.I think Lee was better fighter.He even suggested ways for the British to win the war with just twenty five frigates and ten ships"

"It could slip into the fiend's control "

"It never did.He says"All that the English need to have done was to blockade our ports with twenty five frigates and ten ships of the line."He later told a french visitor they never did."But thank God they did nothing of short".

"Was Henry Clinton not worse than Howe?I said he had a better strategy."

"There was a plan to kidnap Clinton broached perfectly to Washington by Henry Lee.Clinton was quartered in Broadway house in New York with large garden overlooking Hudson and there every afternoon he napped in his little pavilion.Lee wanted to deploy men in clandestine mode sneak in at silent tide and kidnap him as he dozed.I think Hamilton was against the plan and rejected the plan when he says to kidnap Clinton"it would be our misfortune since the British government could not find another commander so incompetent to send in this place"

Do you know what Clinton did thereafter?"

"He must have heard of the plan"

"Probably.Just take a look at this fact.The moment he was awared mid June that a french fleet had sailed to america dread came upon him and sensed the possibility of partnering with Continental army to entrap his troops at Philadelphia,then he fled from the city and evacuated troops into the New York ...."

"Lazy soldier a less risky and more defensible position "

"You think so?Wait a minute.To Indicate that the troops would journey across new Jersey at tardier pace"

"Shylock.What's their numbers again?"

"A huge fleet.An intimidating nine thousand men with logistics and provisions that filled over fifteen hundred wagons with over twelve miles of stretched baggage train.They moved slowly down to New Jersey.With thinly stretched dangerous supply lines and the timbering forces, could be exposed to the firing lines of continental army .

With comfortable gain of disciplined army under Steuben's conspicuous leadership stewards, Washington decided to exploit the loopholes for convincing victory and showcased gains they had made at Valley Forge.

Don't forget he had just survived the Conway Cabal and now Charles Lee another general an experienced officer also challenged his fitness of authority."

"Was it not the same Lee captured in a British Tavern in late 1776?"

"You re right.He was released after fifteen months in captivity.A polyglot, mastery of four languages, eccentric bachelor two of his fingers were cut in the Italian battle often traveled with pack of dogs.He was nicknamed Boiling water and a divorcee once married to an Indian woman "

"It was the mohawks they appelated him"

"Exactly but was temperamental too like Washington.A rude and indiscreet person told Boudinot he had no confidence whatsoever in the military talent of Washington."General Washington was not fit to command a sergeant's guard"he says arrogantly to Boudinot.He ridiculed Steuben's stewards and Hamilton's effort at introducing professional order into the army.On June 24,1778,as Hamilton took minutes, Washington convened meeting on the possibility of pouncing on the retreating British army.Lee rebuked Washington's plan that the patriots could be trounced by the Europeans and sound petty to court trouble as french forces alight.Hamilton had labelled him a driveller but was gobsmacked when officers supported Lee's views and scoffed Hamilton.Washington later agreed to operate by consensus but decided to overturn the vote and strike the enemy.Lee resisted the plot but Washington called his bluff and decided to replace him with Lafayette.Only then did he back down and give consent to the plan and take command of the combat forces.

Now Hamilton often in motion as a liason officer to Lafayette reconnoitering fiendish lines and for days rode through murky nights to convey officers intelligence .Not until the night of June 27 did the British encamp in Freehold NJ near the courthouse not far away from the Lee's soldiers lying apart just six miles away with Washington three miles further away. Hamilton drafted Washington's orders to Lee who instructed him to attack in early morning and should not back down unless powerful reason to the contrary was given.The idea would be that from Washington position would then bring up the rear with the main contingent of the continental army.In the Washington's orders that Lee should battle the enemy slow down to invoke delay and afford time for the rest of the troops to join.

True Reflection

True reflection impacts 

True religion of the inner self 

Is your true reflection 

Indeed true reflection impacts 

Keep Silence

Keep silence always 

I know it is difficult 

Keep silence in tensed 

atmosphere 

Let it dictate the dimensions 

Of broken silence 

And when silence is broken

Tensed atmosphere creases

You risk chaos in the open field

Where nirvana flees

Return not tensed atmosphere 

When silence is unbroken reed

Of everlasting tranquility 

Keep silence 

Not chaos 

Salute your self

Salute your self 

Should they fail 

To salute you 

Spare yourself 

The contempt 

Of open mischief 

Let sun interred 

In your aura

Bequeath 

To thee

The everlasting bliss

Teach the truth

Teach people the right way

Teach people to know the truth 

And leave the rest to history 

Humans are bound to believe 

Their prejudice 

Frozen in the ice glazier 

Of their ignorance 

Tis bliss to the ignorance 

Tis discretion reap from

The downpour 

Return Of the Spring time

Shrieking pales in the morning crows at noon grimaced cruises of fallen claws 

As fallen claws bemoan fallen tides

Temperature of forgone momentum 

Bizarre adventure of the golden valley 

Where daring ados of bewitching sport

Misfire the cranky pales of lost spring time 

The golden rapture of morning tides

Cannot go away 

Where the tempest of balkanising mounds

Balked in the dastardly crotchety acts 

Of the repugnant wishes and aromatic bitters 

Gluts of wilderness sands return into the spring time 

With the dross and the gloss of morning tides

Not the forlorn shrieks could bring back the forlorn roses of the golden hills 

We return to spring time as gallantry 

Permits the talon of her craft to graze

Let Spring time return to glide beyond empyrean heights 

O mother nature

The cockrows as the morning crows

Morning dew balloons as the momentum

oozes

Clouds of broken waves blitz across 

The gust of rushing streams in silence deters

The hunters'grazing grounds beyond hunting quest

Plow in the radiance of groveling sun

The sunset chokes its temperature from the gullies of sunrise 

The two jolly fellows in the maintenance 

Of nature's balance,

Across their radius confines light and darkness 

Economizing strategic balance of nature 

In alignment to the wishes

Of mother nature 

O mother nature 

Who has taught thee to think

As the humans do

The Balance Of Existence

Timbrels and cymbals though

 sound dirty 

With fierce sounds and terrifying waves

Cannot be recalled upon their outburst 

Setback cannot hold back the  fury of sounds

Once it breaks the ugly mould of silence 

The silver shinning velvet by burst

Clinging clanging belling ruptures

Cannot be recalled unless it fizzle out

By the nature of tingling tintinabulation

Sound hath fury beyond compare 

No waywardness in the disposition of sounds 

No bargain for the price of sound

It trickles beyond your imagination 

To burst the gong into open air

Sacred rites of broken veil unleashed 

No one is safe when it distills the tingling sensation 

Everything live by sounds and age by sound

Everything rise by sound and pale by sound 

The primacy of sound we cannot deter

Unheard sound never dies even though 

It teases heard sounds to demise

The best invention of silence is death

It is invented to quell the power of sound 

That it may instill orders by nature 

And restore balance and maintain balance 

You can make that noise as you like 

But the demise of all sound is real

Undeniable, non negotiable and irreproachable 

Let the sound blast without end

Some day silence the foundation of culture 

Even as culture the foundation of existence 

Would restore the balance of power 

But I shall not be deterred

And with unheard sounds an everlasting noise

With influence felt everywhere 

I shall not be silenced forever 

Banter For Rewards

Banter is good 

A therapy of the mind

But not with barbarians 

Like yours

Should banter

To grow discretion 

Adjust your mindset 

And banter with superior wit

In due time 

You shall grow discretion 

And banter 

Could get you 

A reward.

So banter for reward 

Is a good time investment 

Where Is Your Beautiful Fortress?

Where the monument is your fortress 

And the garrison your stardom ;

Where the prison wall is free;

Where the womb is unfettered 

Not broken up by crevices of divorce 

And prejudices of nuptial knot;

Where golden words come out of the psyches of not a narrow minded ilks of psychopaths;

Where open spaces and close spaces are not endangered by specious ilks of claustrophobic and agoraphobiac argots;

Where lost streams of the rivers and  streak of lightning haven't found their way back to resonance;

Where tireless striving for freedom fail to debunk sacred oaths and reach moral perfection of umbilical freedom;

Where the deserted minds keep creaping not into the sand dunes;

Where above all roses of the sky cling to the granary of golden hills for everlasting relief.

O brethren where is your beautiful fortress?

Hamiltonian America.Chapter 11.Bookworm.page 2,3,4..

"I think he just turned twenty three when he started this debates with Clinton struggles for power between the states and the federal?"

"Exactly.He was in control of civics rules spouting civics lessons to state governors under his commander in chief who relied on his views for most political projects.The congressional committee report of a proposed army reorganisation was also handled by him when Washington sought his views and advice on the matter .Then he enumerated list of potential abuses that should be curbed and that only officers to be court-martialed must be officers who overstay their furloughs by ten days.He not only recommended surprise inspections to keep watchdog on sentries alert but also the method and pattern of doing so,in the manner that they should sleep.He was detailed when he says " : Every man must have his haversack under his head and if the post is dangerous his arms in his hand."A martinet with unbridled taste for military discipline.He cited condition for hundred lashes of Cain to be administered to a dragoon who permitted his horse to be ridden by another person.."

"And the condition..?"

"That such use if permitted must be in notification to the regulatory officer.That such permission to ride his horse by another person should not be allowed without first notifying the inspector general."

"So that constitute the basis of lashings"

"Exactly,to "receive one hundred lashes for such neglect".

"Panache and thorough!"

"A great martinet indeed.See another marvel and very evident in March in the way he contemplated the political future of America when commander in chief assigned the role of negotiation with the British in respect of the prisoner exchange.He was seconded by Elias Boudinot for the delicate task.Nobody was eligible for the negotiation than Hamilton having constantly interrogated diverse Hessian and British desserters . Boudinot was his former Elizabethtown mentor and commissary general of prisoners in general.Against the opposition of many in the Congress who wanted the negotiation to fall and prefer to blame the British instead ,he wrote to Clinton baffled by duplicity and says " it is thought to be bad policy to go into exchange .But admitting this to be true it is much worse policy to commit  such frequent breaches of faith and ruin our national character ".He was determined to fabricate a concrete structure for the united states by taking decisive steps in the most beligerent manner on the battlefield.

A Prussian army with dreary face shortly after he penned the report on army reorganisation emerged at the Valley Forge.He was Frederick von Steuben though the inclusion of the honorific 'von' was somewhat fictitious.Nevertheless he claimed to be German baron from a military family and an aide to Frederick the Great.At his own expense, migrated to america, rejected every pay until the patriots triumphed.Under Washington he became provisional inspector general specialized with the mandate to foster army discipline and instill discipline into the force.He spoke french as lingua franca and bunch of English though sparingly and it made him closer to bilingual Hamilton and John Laurens who doubled as interpreters.The age gap between him Hamilton twenty three and the forty eight years old was like father child gap, still they became friends united by french and fondness for military science.

He taught the amateur troops at valley Forge how to march in formation , natural parade,loading of muskets, fixing bayonets and dishing out horrendous nightmare of sparkling orders,much endeared to the army through his bounteous polyglot expletives, aristocratic bent and colourful display.

Hamilton was direly fond of him especially in the way he instilled monumental discipline into the continental army and was awarded the rank of Major general for the great effort.A young private spoke fondly of him when he says:"Never before or since have I had such an impression of the ancient fabled god of war as when I looked on the baron.He seemed to me a perfect personification of Mars.The trappings of his horse the enormous holsters in his pistols his large size and his strikingly martial aspect all seemed to favor the idea".Not only did he completely overhaul the army but also overhaul the army "blue book" or drill book or drill manual so to say . Hamilton like Laurens was fond of the drillmaster when he says"The baron is a gentle man for which I have a particular affection"though chastised his fondness of power and significance nevertheless worked magical transformation of the continental army including their elan.He later told John Jay it was through his bounteous techniques that singlehandedly thorough discipline was introduced into the army .Little wonder he too rose in rank and on may 5,1778 he was recognized as major general.

Frankly speaking the winter encampments was a different ball game entirely for Hamilton availing every opportunity to radically grow his knowledge equipping his mind for the greater task ahead.Henry Cabot Lodge subsequently wrote of him .He says"force of intellect and force of will were sources of his success "Ransacking the book of history Ron Chernow had found traces of extensive intellects from his days as artillery captain blank pages behind playbook as Washington's staff filled up over hundred pages testimony of his extracurricular studies ransacking the rest of the world for books and history of the rest of the world.His self improvised autodidactic nature was unveiled as an aristocratic versatile man of knowledge skilled at considerable proportion of philosophy having read all known and unknown philosophers.His playbook unfolded his versatile spirit of biblioglot as America's first polymath had browsed thr history of Bacon,Hobbes, Montaigne and Cicero together with the historical facts of big nations like Greece, Prussia and France.What an herculean task for the chief correspondence to the commander in chief after a frame breaking draining correspondence assignment still have spare time for self development and really applied them for lucrative purpose.He was never tempted to jettison the British experience as expensive or outdated as virtually all Americans do detested British political system with great disdain not considering the possibility of learning from the system to improve the virgin clime.While Americans dreamed of brand new society devoid of any traces of European civilization he was constantly learning from the British society to improve the structure of the new nation.Je often thought the new world must learn from the old world."

"Which other books did he read?"

"First Malachi Postlethwayt's Universal Dictionary Of trade and Commerce "

"Oh that book an almanac of learned politics,contains georgraphy, economics,layered with essays on taxes,money, banking, public debt."

"Yeah"

"I first saw it in the library of Congress "

"Exactly I saw it too.He guzzled the contents and quite interesting someone was reading such book and others during the looming chaos of war with a lot of psychological traumat in addition to his own recurrent ailments.To me it was magnanimous work of arts.He later hailed the dictionary as the ablest material of political arithmetic including his philosophy about manufacturing that later came with Patterson's industrial revolution was shaped by the book.Just one book shaped the American history.Can you believe that?"

"We don't read in Africa that's the problem"

"Not likely going to change soon.You don't blame the leadership for that I blame the followership for that.See what he was doing as clerk far back at St Louis.He thoroughly developed himself learnt to speak french mastered couple of skills and read extensively.Little did he know would be quite useful when he migrated to states.Was it not surprising such great foundation made him a leader?"

"I quite agreed you must evolve the true foundation as a follower."

"A good follower makes a good a good leader "

"And vice versa "

"Exactly.The book also gave him a glimpse of mixed economy perhaps for the first time in which government creates an enabling environment for the individual freedom and entrepreneurship to thrive.The pay book also exposes the rudimentary knowledge of future treasury secretary on finance."

"Uhmmmmm.interesting"

"I read the part when he says 'When you can get more of foreign coin,the coin for your native exchange is said to be high and the reverse low."

"Let me see that book in your hand where you did sketches of the speeches and write up"as he stood up from the large stone to collect the voluminous item"

"Read the underlined text"

"Oh this is Hamilton speaking..."

"Yeah read it"

"It says ' The continent of Europe is 2600 miles long and 2800 miles broad""Prague is the principal capital city of bohemia the principal part of the commerce of which is carried on by the Jews."

"See the tables on infant mortality rates , foreign exchange rates, population growth,trade balance.,..."

"I saw it including the aggregate economic output of different nations culled from the same dictionary...."as he stood up and returned the book to him and return to sit down and yawned.

"Definitely was a good student of history too"

"See he broached perfectly the books of antiquities for political precedents the muse he used to set up framework for american judicial precedents."

"Quite substantially read."

"He believed a leader should not pander to popular whims and their actions instead should dictate the trends than the other way round.It was motivated by the First Philipic Of Demosthenes.Let me read this you did not see this.He says " As a general marches at the head of his troops"so should discretionary politicians and discreet leaders "march at the head of affairs insomuch that they ought not to wait the event to know what measures to take but the measures which they have taken ought to produce the event."

"Incredible forest of timely foresight"

"See almost fifty one pages of playbook notes contain studies from Plutarch such as Plutarch Lives.."

"He had read Plutarch too"

"Exactly,see extracts from six volume edition of Plutarch 's Lives"stood up and moved closer to him as he endeavoured to stretch the book closer to his eyes and then returned to sit after illustration standing agape.

"No doubt this guy brought readership culture to america.Often fond of interpreting politics as an epic tales of lust and greed from Plutarch Lives and raves of those who plot for powers.So he was fond of Plutarch's biographical sketches being the main motivation of his political theory rooted in the study of human nature the same doctrine that his executioner Arron burr later used against him in 1804 when he was murdered in a dueling match.He broadly examined the construction of clergies,debates and other institutions created to govern the people and the society.He wrote also of vital checks and balances in power to quell anarchy and despotism when he wrote about the life of Lycurgus:

Ultimate Nemesis

Time the ultimate luxury 

And the ultimate nemesis 

The beauty of existence 

The womb of history 

The womb of existence 

Never smiles but often frown

A stern face and a driver

With no back to return 

Moving in clockwise direction 

Not anti clockwise 

Or counterclockwise direction 

Time is strange

We think 

Is our friends 

How we were wrong 

Our greatest fiend

If you use it well

You still for you shall grow

Old

Not like the angels of black power 

If you fail to use it well 

Your colossal failure 

Is guaranteed 

Under time 

The winner and looser

Are all looser 

He who gains looses

He who looses looses

The later a double loss

What a strange time

Time Never forgives

Yesterday is gone 

Today is half gone

Tomorrow is to begone

In the nearest dawn

Who shall not begone too

Soon

When preparedness stirs

Your consciousness 

Of the value of time

Every time is precious 

And scared as they go

And hardly forgive 

Time hardly forgive 

For it will never return 

Back from its flight 

It never goes back 

It never goes behind 

To take your orders

To return back to your doorstep 

Time never returns 

And because 

It never returns 

It never forgives

Better you see your time well 

For it never forgives 

When you squander it

Know the Man

Take a soft bow

When you barely know a person 

Know your neighbors 

Acclimitise with strangers 

Behold 

You do not know a man 

Until 

You live with him

I repeat:

You do not know a man 

Until you live with him

Try know the man

Who is the real man?

Try to know him

And you will forever 

Manage to save yourself 

From danger

Only can you know the limit

Always try to know a man 

I Do not Have A Grave

I do not have a grave 

To stand and weep

I am the spirit of eternity 

I am the flight of angels 

I am the mouthpiece of the distant heavens

And the nature wit of galaxies yet unknown 

That brings the sun on ripened grain

And immaculate glows of autumn rains

Where a million winds that blow

On diamond glints that glow

Whose morning hust upon uplifting sands

The beautiful songs that guzzling sounds of chirping birds 

Across the board of rushing waves and roaring fires

Pant to sing in the sunshine of sunsets 

Distilled into sunrise 

I live forever the only soul with no grave 

And abode the court of the super most high

Above the super heavens.

Luck

Luck is the thing with lucks

That lurks in the luck

And favours the tunes without favor 

And never stops luck at all times 

Vale of tears turns not awry

But tears of joy and happiness 

Luck is the thing that favours the bearer

Regardless of the stingy nightmare 

And luck must be the lurk

That prevails at all storms 

That could grace every little bird

In the face of every disgrace 

Luck never fails in the chilliest lands

Distilled in the aroma of favor unlimited 

Luck never fails in the strangest sea

Nevertheless its magical charm 

Might not repay where preparedness 

Is a fugitive in the flight of its hallowed shores.

Holy kismet

A valiant feet of despair pained all griefs 

The pulse of one adulation's gallantly etching 

In a rapturous feathers of undiluted love

An inward gust of divine energy and extra natural zeal

Not by the turpitude of mortal steam

But the majestic plow of grandiloquent predestinatination

That all mortals are destined to be 

What they should be prior to earthly alight

Hail and hark the powers of holy kismet
