I SAW LOVE WITH MY EYES! By KEMKA S. IBEJI

I SAW LOVE WITH MY EYES!
I bled through my eyes
They call it tears
It flowed down joy
I saw love with my eyes
And now I see storm

I was slapped by love
And tears gushed down
I never knew love had such hands
Harshly sweet
But they feelings are cool
I could cry everlasting
Give me more of this slaps
That I may never stop crying

It forgave my wrongs
Paid me kindness for all my wickedness
It soothes me when I'm hurt
Hurt by my failed bad intents against it
It tells me to stab it
If only there lies my joy
What a being so absurd
Is this love?

It gives me peace
It gives me hope
It gives me strength
It gives me power
It gives me authority
It gives me pleasure
But I've done all to hurt it
It gives more and more good
It minds less

I saw love with my eyes
Now I see blurred
It's my sight across tears
What a wonder to behold?
It now seems I'll be possessed
I think by the spirit of love
Take me away
I've lost all essence
Now absorbed in love
It absolves my sins
Let love be me and me love

Now I'm going to be a slave
It's in my volition
None bade me do this
It's my cross to bear
Let me serve thee love
That I may have peace of mind
Let me follow thee love
That I may walk in majesty
This is my soul torn open

Oh thou love
Whence wilth thou dispossess me?
Whither thou takes me?
I've lost fear with thee
Do to me as thou wills
But let me out once in a while
That I may walk the paths of sanity
To swim in the streams of filth
Sanity or foolishness?
Only lovers will tell

Let me dwell here with thee
But give me breath to say
Just this to all humans
I saw love with my eyes!

THE OUTLAWS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND THEIR ENABLER: THE AREA BOY CALLED OBA OF LAGOS Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Rilwan Akiolu  Till that area boy called Oba of Lagos is thrown into prison for his criminal calls during several election periods for the killing of Igbos in Lagos and his threat to murder Igbos in Yoruba land, that crime of segregation against the law of Nigeria, by some outlaws in the southwest, will continue. The law asserts that all Nigerians are free to live in any part of Nigeria and exercise their rights and enjoy their privileges as well. Just saying that an Igbo man can't vie for the governorship of Lagos State alone is a crime punishable by the laws of Nigeria. But what? Each election period we see plenteous crimes from all fours of Yoruba land with recklessness mindless of the law. But the federal government has always looked away. But a Yoruba man is ruling Nigeria which covers Igbo land. Is that conquest or something else? The problem that will consume the entire country (Nigeria) will start from here. The Igbos suffered the most grievous genocide in the history of Ni...

LET US CLING TO THE OLD SCIENCE TILL MODERN SCIENCE CLEARS OUR SUSPICION OF ITS ILLEGITIMATE GIFT TO FEMINISM IN THE SCIENCE OF REPRODUCTION Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
In Philosophy of the Sciences, a school of thought led by Karl Popper held that the methodology of the sciences is "Conjectures and Refutations".  But in a general consideration of philosophical methods, we recall a vibrant philosophical methodology called Dialects. Most Philosophy Scholars refer to this method as the Socratic Method. But as an African Philosopher who has the right foundation of Philosophy and have joined the unraveling of the truth of Africa as the cradle of Philosophy and, inferentially or consequently, civilization, I do not bless the crime of Western Philosophy and their jaundiced history with attributing or ascribing that revered philosophical methodology to an intellectual thief as Socrates. No! I therefore prefer to deal with DIALECTICS. So in Dialects, and attending to the application of philosophical super methodologies on the sciences, our intellectual surge adopts a logico mathematical super saunter that moves from thesis, through antithesis to syn...
