NAIJA KREATIVES

UNTITLED  Light flickers at its approaching dullness, After blazing in the splendour of brightness, Diminished with weakening flames, And fierceness made crippled like the lames, At first, ravishing what it could, Until warmness gave way to menacing cold, Quenching with strength unable to hold. . The freshness of a start, Propelled by the urge to impart, To the soul, it was all it wanted; Perfectly summed up as request granted, But it begins to tell in strength, Straying for lack of concentration, Alas! The soul yearned not for this conclusion. . The light was bright; The soul had strength and might, Yet all went with a swipe, Too sudden the ooze and wipe, Draining with ease yet taking away its ease, Till you fret to release, The subdueing grip of weariness. *** Nsikak Jack is a motivational writer and Poet. An undergraduate student, Studying English and Literary studies at University of Uyo, Nigeria.

   I AM I am a lost tributary flowing into the marrow of life Meandering my pride in a lost voyage Daunted by the frown of a passing wind Rolled and tossed into the dying dreams of a pauper Sailing through my adversary liquor One shot to heaven Whispering a prayer for his gin to wash me ashore beyond hades A land where the shackles on tomorrow’s feet Outweighs the fairy tales of hamlet I am a hunchback of truth in a lie Carried on the lips of a widow Who curses the sundown that birthed me Still I will rise like the eleventh hour of Judas’ conscious Tell the gatekeeper at Eden The snail fear not the feet of the cheetah For in his wisdom he traded his beautiful hope for an ugly faith Papa’s drums are singing; Sabali! Sabali! The roasted corn will take you home Kingsley Kojo Antwi is an award winning poet, screenwriter and an entrepreneur.

THE TRUE MEASURE AND DEFINITION OF SUCCESS. The true measure of success is not the amount of material possessions one has but the way one live his or her life and the impact it has on others.

Many people only focus on material possession when measuring or defining success; that is wrong. Some people have the notion that they are not successful because they don't have a car, money or a degree and other things in life. If you are in this group mentioned, please go beyond yourself and touch someone's life positively then, your service and love will bring you true success and fulfillment. Success is truly measured according to the number of lives you have impacted. Few people know the true meaning and measure of success. Being wealthy or famous is not really being a success because we know many fa...
