I found a fly
Not sure where it came from
It’s a little irritating
But even the fly has a life
Do you?

No matter the race, colour or creed, a good man knows how to treat his lady well.

He asked me what do you think a good man is? The one who prays 5 times a day? Hell no. Those are fakes.

We talked about generational gaps. Largely the boomers are at war with the X-ers.

Am I enjoying life outside academia?
Yes, alhamdulillah thanks to my currently wonderful hubby

[kermit @thekermit007]

What’s life outside academia?
It’s kinda like a zoo but with snipers without cages.

So I told myself “don’t you dare mix business with religion” after 7 months of initiation into the corporate world.

The highest wisdom is realizing that true strength is not in resisting life but in embracing it fully rationally, yet spiritually.

[kermit @thekermit007]

Someday
We learn
When the sun sets
Time churns

Life a cycle
Death a surety
Bodies temporary
The soul eternal

The mind a tool
Powerful a gift
No beings alike
Unique the thoughtful

This life waste not
Opportunities for goodness plenty
Poverty no excuse
For Charity is Universal

[kermit @thekermit007]

Being nobody
Is a blessing

Being somebody
Is a curse

Being kind
Is an advice

Being nice
Not all the time

Being bold
Has its perks

Being wise
Takes time

Beauty is bountiful
In the eyes of the beholder

Such are the stakes
Of women and men

Beauty may be hidden
Or it may be open

Surely those hidden
Is a gem uncontested

Beauty isn’t flawless
Balanced with fondness

Character unchallenged
Attributes of those noble

[kermit @thekermit007]

Life a sum of experiences
Learning an institutionalised curriculum

Memories a collection of sentiments
Reality a world full of illusions

Truth becoming clearer
Play of those insincere

Family a choice a destiny
Fate a sentence already written

Destiny unchanging
Wisdom becoming

[kermit @thekermit007]

Give thanks
Life live
Be wise
Such is life

Start small
Climbing up
Falling down
Getting up

Friends aplenty
True ones few
Tough times strike
Those true stay & fight

Shoulder-shoulder feet-feet
Instruments created
Created to achieve
Achieve excellence
Living humbly
Small are we

[kermit @thekermit007]

Felicity
For good times
Looking forward to
To better ones

Defining family
Friends and acquaintances
Better with partners
And true friends only

The sundial churns
Time ticking
Life passing
Making memories

For there comes
Felicity in thoughts
Happiness is born
Deep within

[kermit @thekermit007]

Enough
Is enough
Let live
Let be

Once said
Twice over
Third out
All over

Let go
Forget
Move on
Life renew

Stay strong
Middle age
Time to think
Start again

Be nice
Be just
It’s only even
Not pretending

Go ahead
Fall again
In love
Live life

We see
They say
Third time
Too late

[kermit @thekermit007]

If only u see
The tragedies caused
Changing lives
Hardening hearts
Breaking families

If only u thought
That message could spark
Before saying before responding
Thinking twice more maturing

Let it go let it be
Pain comes reminding
Of a life which could have been
Only if only be

[kermit @thekermit007]

Grateful
Are the pure hearted
Whence hardships abound
Succour comes swift
By patience it affords

Be grateful
In good in bad times
In relevance insignificant
Both ways blessing collides

Gratefulness
Feeds the soul
Manifest in words in deeds
Of the body & mind uplifting
