I'm the mysterious wild cat
My appearance makes people's hearts stop and start
I flip in the dark like a black bat
I am the callous ripper of hearts.

As musty smells like mountain ash assail you
Beware, I am so close, the harbinger of failure 
I wear a gown striped with the colour of night
Streaked with brownish stains once bright.

My presence will dip you all into grief
I devour your souls and push you off life's cliff
I dance to the tune of anguished cries
Salty water dripping off your love ones eyes.

I'm immortal, I harvested your ancestors
My shining armor, red like hibiscus
I ascend with souls to heaven, then y'all mourn.
Like a shadow, I trailed your path since you were born.

I walk with bizarre intent
To deprive your lens,
I show you light beyond your darkness
I am the grim reaper, author of sadness.
#iamteazhy

I am a girl,
Living at will,
Despite what I feel,
Just have to live free.

O this life
Like a bee hive,
We just have to strive,
To soar like eagles in the skies.

Dear lord, Take control;
Lest the billows around me roll,
Attempting to take my soul,
From thy place of blessed hope.

For I am a child,
Searching for guide.

Title:- praises of the creator

All accolades belong to the all time sage

The fashioner of mankind


The eternal without  notable age

The single deity who sheds incense on we infant mankind

From you  alone we request for blessings

And you alone decree you excess mercies

 Ereziaye Emmanuel Harrison also known as JHOSE EMRIZ GRÂÇÎÔX is a young poet from Delta State, Nigeria
 His poem " Make Me Understand " was recently published on Facebook.

MAKE ME UNDERSTAND

I don't understand the letters you wrote to the Jews
If the words were much neither few
And the kind of words you chose to use
Without putting yourself in others shoes.

Make me understand why you think you're the holiest of all
That within you,
Perfection is sure
Without blunts and stunts
That you can run a thousand miles
Without a single fall.

Make me understand why you think
You're the best of all
That you're perfect without  flaws
Seeing yourself superior
Over thousands beneath that falls

Make me understand the kind of prayers you pray
But still yoked with unbelievers
Whom for long has wandered astray

Make me understand the kind of Christian you are
Roaming from shrines to the Alfas
Crying and pleading for kids
When for long God has made you
The mother of Kings and priests

Make me understand the gospel you preach as a pastor
Teaching us there's blessings in giving
But from you, others ain't receiving

Make me understand why you mounted securities by your gate
But telling us to pray
For the Angels to watch and guard our gate

Make me understand  why you don't give arms when the Poor and the needy stands by your gate to knock
For you to come outside to instruct beware of dogs

Make me understand why you called yourself a bishop
Building for yourself big shops and mansions
Forgetting the congregations
Who monthly pays their tithe
But still, their lives remain dried and tight.

Make me understand why you called yourself Imam
Preaching and teaching Quran
Yet behind the scenes,
Your heart is bloody filled
With the blood of man

Make me understand the kind of riches and wealth you owns
When helpless kids are crying daily at the orphanage homes
When beggars are daily roaming the streets
You drove pass, then to reckon
how beautiful and tasteful life is sweet

Make me understand
Cause, i still don't understand even as I weep when my tears dripped down to my feet
Why men are so wicked bad and stricts
Forgetting from the dust we came
And we shall return back to it.

Make me understand the letters you wrote
Make me understand so I can tell you and requote
To make you understand at last
That a day will come
When we'll eventually breathe our last

I'll make you understand
We're nothing but just a dust.
Make me understand,
And for me to make you to understand
We are nothing but just a dust.

Do we stay silent
Or raise our voices?
Do we give in
Or make our choices?
This is our chance.
This is our threat.
This is our choice.
And we're not finished yet.
We stand together
And await the light
This is our chance,
This is our fight.
Here we're standing,
United and strong.
We're not giving this up.
We're not moving on.
This is our voice;
This is what we came to show.
This is our choice,
And we're not letting go
This is our word.
You give what you get.
This is our world,
And we're not finished yet.
We stand beside you,
Ready to pay our debt
We stand united
Because we're not finished yet.
Children are born every day,
Waiting for someone to trust.
Dreams are dreamed every day
But left alone to rust.
Raise your voices; stand up tall.
You know this is unjust.
Make your choices; stand from the fall,
Because dreams are counting on us.
I know that you are scared to be strong.
You have every right to be.
Show the dreamers that you care.
Come and stand with me.
Think of our future; think of the truth.
Think of the lives we share.
Think of our beginnings; think of our youth.
We're all just a kid from somewhere.
Standing together, holding hands,
We all came from the same place.
Joined we are forever;
We are running the same race.
Stand with me; we're not through yet.
We are getting what we gave.
Hand in hand with me, strongest together.
This can all be saved.
This is like our lifetimes;
This is more than just a game.
This is more than just the money,
More than ourselves, more than fame.
Speak up for what matters,
Because now it does; this love is caving.
Speak up before we shatter.
Think of all the dreams we're saving.
There are kids like us in Texas,
Out in Utah, up in Maine.
There are kids that are the future Crosby,
Skinner, Matthews, Kane.
From the mountains, valleys, cities,
Suburbs, hamlets and countryside,
There are the children of this future.
All around us they reside.
On the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins,
The Canes and Minnesota Wild.
We often forget that before they were champions,
Each one was just a child
They once stood watching,
Dreaming with this light inside their eyes.
Together we can save that light,
And return it to more lives.
Here we're standing, grasping hands;
Here we're standing strong.
This time we're not giving in,
And we're not moving on.
THIS is our voice;
This is what we came to show.
This is our choice,
And we're not letting go.
This is the world we live in.
You must give what you get.
This is our word we're giving.
We're not finished yet.
We stand together, united.
This is our chance to repay this debt.
We stand beside you all, united.
We're not finished yet.

Death be not proud

(PART II)

Death!
The greatest disease that has no cure,
The greatest mystery of nature,
Indeed an invisible fighter with no fear.
Death is bitter,
Bitter enough to taste!
Why are we still alive,
When all that values have been taken by you?
Death be not proud,
A day of penance is coming,
When we shall devote our time
Watching you perish before us.
Oh thou callous death!
Who definitely will pity you in this peril?
For your sins are unforgivable!
Your grave shall become a hot place
For you and your sins to live in.
And there will be no place for you to run to.
Then our prestige shall rise upon you,
For tears that are so hot
Like the interior of a house set ablazed with fire
Shall run down from your cheeks.
Death be not proud!

Have you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit, making honor roll, or being picked for a team? Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated again.
You're Not Alone!
Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight, and then gain it back again!
The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it's not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it.
Getting Motivated
So how do you stay motivated and on track with your goal? It all comes down to good planning, realistic expectations, and a stick-to-it attitude. Here's what you need to do:
First, know your goal. Start by writing down your major goal. Your major goal is the ultimate thing you'd like to see happen. For example, "I want to make honor roll," or "I want to get fit enough to make the cross-country team," or even, "I want to play in the Olympics" are all major goals because they're the final thing the goal setter wants to see happen (obviously, some goals take longer and require more work than others). It's OK to dream big. That's how people accomplish stuff. You just have to remember that the bigger the goal, the more work it takes to get there.
Make it specific. It's easier to plan for and master a specific goal than a vague one. Let's say your goal is to get fit. That's pretty vague. Make it specific by defining what you want to achieve (such as muscle tone and definition or endurance), why you want to get fit, and by when. This helps you make a plan to reach your goal.
Make it realistic. People often abandon their goals because their expectations are unreasonable. Maybe they expect to get ripped abs in weeks rather than months, or to quit smoking easily after years of lighting up.
Let's say you want to run a marathon. If you try to run the entire distance of 26.2 miles tomorrow without any training, you're unlikely to succeed. It takes the average person 4 months of training to run that far! But the bigger risk is that you'll get so bummed out that you'll give up your marathon dreams — and running — altogether.
Part of staying motivated is being realistic about what you can achieve within the timeframe you've planned. Competing on the Olympic ski team is a workable goal if you are 15 and already a star skier. But if you're 18 and only just taking your first lesson, time isn't exactly on your side.
Write it down. Put your specific goal in writing. Then write it down again. And again. Research shows that writing down a goal is part of the mental process of committing to it. Write your goal down every day to keep you focused and remind you how much you want it.
Break it down. Making any change takes self-discipline. You need to pay constant attention so you don't get sidetracked. One way to make this easier is to break a big goal into small steps. For example, let's say you want to run a marathon. If it's February and the marathon is in August, that's a realistic timeframe to prepare. Start by planning to run 2 miles and work up gradually to the distance you need.
Then set specific daily tasks, like eating five servings of fruit and veggies and running a certain amount a day. Put these on a calendar or planner so you can check them off. Ask a coach to help you set doable mini-goals for additional mile amounts and for tasks to improve your performance, such as exercises to build strength and stamina so you'll stay motivated to run farther.
Reaching frequent, smaller goals is something to celebrate. It gives you the confidence, courage, and motivation to keep running — or doing whatever it is you're aiming to do. So reward yourself!
Staying Motivated
Check in with your goal. Now that you've broken your goal down into a series of mini-goals and daily tasks, check in every day.
It helps to write down your small goals in the same way you wrote down your big goal. That way you can track what you need to do, check off tasks as you complete them, and enjoy knowing that you're moving toward your big goal.
As you accomplish a task, check it off on your list. Tell yourself, "Hey, I've run 10 miles, I'm nearly halfway to my goal!" Reward yourself with something you promised yourself when you set your goal. Feel successful — you are! Now think ahead to accomplishing the rest of your goal: "What do I have to do to reach 26 miles? How am I going to make the time to train?"
Writing down specific steps has another advantage: If you're feeling weak on willpower you can look at your list to help you refocus!
Recommit to your goal if you slip up. If you slip up, don't give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on track.
Pat yourself on the back for everything you did right. Don't beat yourself up, no matter how far off track you get. Most people slip up when trying to make a change — it's a natural part of the process.
Writing down daily tasks and mini-goals helps here too. By keeping track of things, you'll quickly recognize when you've slipped up, making it easier to refocus and recommit to your goal. So instead of feeling discouraged, you can know exactly where you got off track and why.
What if you keep slipping up? Ask yourself if you're really committed to your goal. If you are, recommit — and put it in writing. The process of writing everything down may also help you discover when you're not really committed to a goal. For example, perhaps you're more in love with the fantasy of being a star athlete than the reality, and there's something else that you'd rather be or do.
View slip-ups as lessons and reminders of why you're trying to make a change. When you mess up, it's not a fault — it's an opportunity to learn something new about yourself. Say your goal is to fight less with your brother or sister. You may learn that it's better to say, "I can't talk about this right now" and take time to calm down when you feel your temper growing out of control.
Keep a stick-to-it attitude. Visualize yourself achieving your goal: a toned you in your prom dress or a successful you scoring the winning soccer goal. Self-visualization helps you keep what you're trying to accomplish in mind. It helps you believe it's possible. You can also call up your mental picture when willpower and motivation are low.
Positive self-talk also boosts your attitude and motivation. Tell yourself, "I deserve to make the honor roll because I've really been working hard" or "I feel great when I swim — I'm doing well on my exercise plan!"
Share with a friend. Another boost is having supportive people around you. Find a running buddy, a quit smoking buddy, or someone else with a similar goal so you can support each other. Having a goal buddy can make all the difference in times when you don't feel motivated — like getting up for that early-morning run.
If you're not getting support from someone when you really need it, you may need to take a break from that friendship and surround yourself with people who want to help you succeed. For instance, if you've been going to your friend's house to study together every Thursday after school, but now your pal is turning on the TV, texting friends, or gabbing on the phone and ignoring your pleas to get down to work, it's time to find another study buddy. You can't stay focused on your goal if your friend doesn't share that goal — or, even worse, is trying to hold you back. Seek out others who are on the same path you are and work with them instead.
Don't Give Up!
Ending an unhealthy behavior or creating a new, exciting one is all about taking responsibility for our lives. Finding the motivation to do it isn't necessarily easy, but it is always possible. You can stay motivated by writing down your goals, sticking to your schedule, and reminding yourself of what led you to set your goal in the first place. Change is exciting — we'd all be very bored without it.
Good luck in reaching your goals!

YOUTH FOR NATIONAL INTEGRITY



TODAY’S YOUTH – TOMORROW’S LEADERS:



Today’s youth of the nation are all tech-savvy, broad-minded and rebellious with vast ideas, who could mobilize people of all religion, caste and creed as the youth of India play a crucial role in promoting communal harmony which will lead to socio-economic constitutional changes in maintaining peace in the country, as the youth are the future leaders of tomorrow.



The youth’s education in engineering, medical, pharmacy, bio-technology, automobile engineering, R&D, management and in all fields of study, can mobilize people due to professional understanding in maintaining peace and communal harmony without interfering in issues like caste, creed, religion or ethnicity.



Tech-savvy youth spreads the peace, love and communal harmony thro’ social media tools like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, WhatsApp and blogs. Rapid changes took place through media postings then, after the conviction of culprits in December 2012 Delhi rape case issue. Nirbhaya Fund for survivors of gender violence started due to this case.



So, the above tools play an important role in bringing about social harmony.



Fine Arts play an important role in spreading the message of brotherhood and peace.



Also, young authors, writers, poets and artists come together to enlighten people of India about the secularism in Indian Constitution.



One can understand the culture at major cities like Mumbai and Delhi, that the youth cares for personal growth based on their talents rather than they do about caste or religion.



Youth having good jobs by virtue of their talent, can bring changes on people around them to maintain peace and harmony in the society without any negative mind set on caste, creed or religion.



The government has to work with the youth to bring about unity in diversity for the future of nation.
