                                                      THE HUMMINGBIRD’S SONG



Early in the wee morning I sing,

I sing with joy,

Joy from deep within the heart,

A heartfelt love for the new day.

I sing the hummingbirds song , I sing like an Indian  goddess.



In the midmorning I sing,

 I sing as I peck on aphids,
Aphids that fill my stomach and give me renewed strength,

Strength that replenishes my soul.

I sing the hummingbirds song I sing like an Indian goddess.



In the midday sun I sing,

I sing as I dip my beak deep down the beautiful flowers for nectar,

Nectar that reminds me the sweetness and essence of life,

Life that every creature desires.

I sing the hummingbirds, song I sing like an Indian goddess.



In the afternoon heat I sing,

I sing as I flap my bright beautiful wings in a pool to cool my body,

My body that dances with joy on the branches,

Branches unfamiliar but that I still call home.

I sing the hummingbirds song, I sing like an Indian goddess.



In the evening I sing,

I sing in the nest and praise,

Praise for the days life and the days blessings,

Blessings that I have seen sunrise and sunset too, and I tomorrow I hope too.

I sing the hummingbirds song I sing like an Indian  goddess.

  OPINION In a world of free things nothing is free have you ever thought to yourself? And now since everything has a price tag how worthy is your opinion in the modern world then? Man is an animal, a social creature de facto, but what is it that makes him see his own independent value noble from the rest of his race? Could we assume that stratification is some normal order of the universe we live in? It’s not only among man that exists ranks but in the whole of the animal kingdom from bees, mites to even lions with each set of class or rank performing a specific role or task in most cases. In business terms we may term it as specialization. As far as history can take us through books we get to learn of the partisan nature of man and his organization ethnographically.   At no point have we ever seen man rely on his self solely. He hunted in groups and lived in caves as family. It is this group politics (affair) that has led to development of society and advancement of social struct

  A WALK INTO TIME, A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME.   It’s 2021 and I am going through a thought in time but I don’t know how long it has been or how old it is the moment I’m reviewing this. Were it wine it would have grown richer in taste, darker in tone and would now be able to raise the taste buds by sheer anticipation at the mention of the name. If it were Italian gorgonzola or swiss cheese the bucks would’ve gone up steadily. Sometime back a couple of months or years ago if I am not wrong didn’t know then that I know now. A thought flashed through my mind and I thought it could be brilliant idea that could make a TED talk (I rarely listen or watch them because of reasons best known to me). It was about time. The thought slipped into the blues but till today about now it still lingers in my subconscious mind as it has come to prove. I hold curious views about the subject matter for very complex reason that I cannot be able to substantiate physically. I don’t know how I may validate t

Dear college faculty I need to understand myself How I wish my college faculty n others changed it from community studies to self/individual studies. We should or should have spent more and a lot of time discovering and understanding ourselves rather than studying society. Society is me and you. Unfortunately we do not understand ourselves so how do we understand others? The self is greater than the masses because the self can change the masses( through collective action) . However the masses can't change the self if its not ready to. The masses also shouldn't change the self (except if the self has no positive values) because it is the self that dictates the values that are accepted by the same society as right. If we understand ourselves: our souls, our mind and our hearts then we will no longer follow the masses blindly but we can make the masses follow us due to freedom of conscience. We all desire to live in a Utopian society. But first a
