My Mother - Prove your mum is very much Fantastic. Here's mine.

Motherhood has always been one challenging period, whereby compromises could lead to very fatal consequences. From house keeping to children upbringing, they have to master it all, in spite of people beliefs on gender roles equality, the fundamental roles of a mother should not be forsaken. 

A successful woman-hood, can only be proven by the taste of it's fruits; 'The Children', proper upbringing is what is needed to achieve this feat. My Mom has has been very successful as a woman, I wish to show you how she did it. Here's a poem I wrote;



"Don't let anyone see your kokoro";

I slid out, flushing down;
Prepared to breathe in my first air;
Felt the world out there as cold and endless;
An endless world of giants;
I was carried by the same palm;
Cuddled by same set of fingers;
I decided to stare at who grants the hand;
IT was so tall and always smiled, and regarded as a 'she';
I always cried when I felt something was off;
I was tongueless to express my feelings;
She got me to an extent,  but never really got me tho';
I was forced to gulp milk down my throat;
For everything pain caused;
I lived further breaking the boundaries of dumbness;
And learnt some few basic utterances, I needed to know;
It felt like casting spell, it worked like magic;
I was led further along life's course;
I never knew how to live life well;
She led me through, even through the dark times.

As I was becoming giant-like;
She was became first everything ;
My first Teacher,  Knight,  Healer,  Pastor, Cook..;
Haha,  yes she was my first Cook;
My one and only confidant, she proved herself worthy;
She taught me basic rules to survive;
She fought ceaselessly to keep the wolf from our walls;
She handled my grossest wounds, performed various surgeries;
So well,  I remembered not the pain after she tends;
She taught me there was only one supreme being;
Giving us food to eat and cloth to wear;
She made me love amala, she showed her prodigy in soup making;
She and Dad led me all the way to writing this out;
They enrolled me in the best school and granted me all I needed.

She granted me the right to live right;
She is my Mother;

Spotlight.

A fantasy love poem. I held on to the bar and glided through its slide; It came past the fire and I pushed past the rocks; I passed through quaking fears and broken dreams; I came to a point where all hope seemed lost. The end seemed never coming; I saw it thinner and thinner into the forest; I ran out of vigor and almost dropped my hold on; But your voice sounded and reinforced my hope; When the slightest slumber sufficed, your whisper woke me; And hastened my way towards the spotlight; I had to get into the clouds, I need to be with the stars. At a time I was drawn towards the mountain; A very high mountain, it touched the clouds; Feeling ecstasy and terrified amidst the birds that cheered; I got to the top with only little time to live the moment; And was sent down towards the ground with brute force; I fell from the bar, and lost my grip, free falling; I tried to scream and call for help, But the air forcefully ; Pushed my voice far into my lungs, I coul...

Cytoplasmic Time?

Can there be anything as Cytoplasmic Time? "Since the intracellular and interstitial procession of actions and reactions occur on a different scale relative to our time-frame. Does this mean that the cytoplasmic environment is characterized by a distinct time scheme, and what effect does this physical character have on the biological environment and its physiological metabolic procession?" I am a penultimate student studying Biochemistry of the University of Lagos, Nigeria. With my depth of knowledge in Bioscience, I haven't left my keen interest in the physics of nature. I have pursued my interest progressively and attempted its further integration into the Bioscience world. The interdisciplinary nature of science for sure has helped further in homogeneity of its established facts and laws. Critical Thought and the Logical relation of facts have also been my major sturdy skill, and it has majorly helped my study, even in this. Towards the end of ...

Recess: A Prime from the Future. From the Old Futurism archives.

Good day Everyone, I decided to do something quite unusual today, so I logged into Mind-Sumo , and made out for the post that won me my highest win yet; that was about two years ago, and I was one of the top scorer. Its been a while since I have taken up a challenge, and so $44.50 is yet my highest win. I'm not really particular about the money, but what exactly made me top the charts. The challenge goes thus; What experience would you want to send long distance from person to person? Prompt : Imagine you leave New York  City in January and fly to Miami. As you drive into the city, the breeze carries the salty scent of ocean air into your open window. The warm setting sun paints the horizon pink and orange against the rows of palm trees. In the city, you follow your nose to a food truck by a park, where you eat an arepa and listen to a conga band. If only you could share the full experience with your friends...
