TOUCHING THE AIR by Oladayo

Image result for touching the air
Walking down the street on a cold night
Struggling with thoughts with last might
The cloud heavy with threatening rain
If it rains then it'll add to the pain
Fear of brothers from elusive world
Who might think now is the time to strike

Oh! Am so lonely in this world
Except for the sound of thunder strike
Can this get any better?
Cos have tried but no reply to the letter
All hope seems gone and lost
But making it I see as a must

Gentle movement of the air
And the rushing sound of river
All reminds me that there is hope
And when it comes, must I be in a hole?
My spirit is broken, my heart is shattered

And what I know not is that
Not all smiling face has a beautiful heart
But each time I hug myself in my hope
And the air whispers that I can cope
Not minding the fear or despair

All I could feel
is that i am TOUCHING THE AIR.

****Making a man**** Hurry d baby as fast as u can,  Hurry him, worry him, make him a man. Off with his baby clothes, get him in pants,  Feed him on brain foods nd make him advance. Hustle him, soon as he's able to walk,  Into a grammar school; cram him with talk. Fill his poor head full of figures and facts,  Keep on a-jamming them in till it cracks. Once boys grew up at a rational rate,  Now we develop a man while u wait, Rush him through college, compel him to grab,  Of every known subject a dip and a dab. Get him in business and after the cash, All by the time he can grow a mustache.  Let him forget he was ever a boy, Make gold his god and its jingle its toy. Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath,  Until he wins-nervous prostration and death.        --PENMIND
