Poetry: Commonwealth of Learnedness

By Oscar Apuge
Commonwealth of Learnedness

Two dozen thoughts of learnedness flank the eyes
For what learnedness espouses surprises even the unlearned Isles
In this commonwealth where everything lives dies
Leaving no condolences upon the heavy laden eyes
Oh, truth upon the wings of learnedness dies.

In this justly equitable commonwealth
Flies learnedness in sane madness
Yes, beautifully spirited saneness, nay, madness
Perhaps, such a camouflage; and a whited sepulchre
So has the leaderboard of my just commonwealth.

A commonwealth
But not common wealth
For what is common loses its health
Into the thin air of commonness
And everything becomes a mess.

Learnedness is, but no indication of prattlement
In a ship where justice, truth and practice reigns
Yes, they are learned, and want us learned
As learned as they are, they prowl like lions
In an assembly of liers
Pardon, nay liars but liers who lie on golden beds
Roaring and growling
Upon heavy_coated attires
Hopping like frogs over one another
Hissing and gnashing teeth, neighbour against neighbour
Like serpents that have caught over
The million tongues of swallow
In an eventful dance style of delibrating learnedness
And of heavenly duel one cannot bless
After happy sorrow of duels
Comes pleas of incoordinate incorporation
A blathered screen of euphoria
An arena in this common wealth
Of learned bicameral skulls

As experienced as the officer
The seaman, overrides his judgement
Should the captain be shrouded
With mystic skills of competence?
Should he loose the grip of his captain band
And lose his captainship among his seamen?
A  soldier with mere skills without practice?
Yea, no, in this wealth that is not so common
A soldier with mere prattle skills
Skipper who uses driving for skippering
A captain blade
Moulded with cicatrices of just corruption
A commendable forgery of reputation
Of mastery and qualifications
Ah! These are the voices aboard

But, should this be true?
Could this be reality through?
Oh shame, dost thou show thy name
Upon the borows of fame
Why? Fameworthy it is to mention
A news so pleasant even to an unlearned ear
Such is the news which defines all ears fools

Oh, how the Sun watchs from below
The sanity of learnedness that takes place above
And rains down rays of smiles
Upon the blind wise fools

Again, how has the mighty serpent of old
Grown suddenly so
Like a tree planted by the seashore
Like the Cedars of leban
Hundred cubits in length
Fifty cubits in breath
Thirty cubits in height
Say Noah's masterpiece
So large like a first generation vaccum tube
Whose magnetic drum consumes
A thirty and six million files in a commonwealth
Where learnedness is, but no Indicate
Of saneness, but of monstrous fame and corruption.

What sort of ignorance and consensual mumuness
Escape the wisdoms of these wittics
To spray such foul fragrance
Upon a not-too-foolish nostrils?

Look again, through the rays of the sun
And you shall find therein, this commonwealth
Herbivorous gorillas turned into cockroaches
Desiring papers instead of herbs
Six points and eight a million papers
By one innocent herbivorous animal.

The evil that men do lives with them
Not after, lest, the innocent inheritors rejoice

Alas! From where come this?
The Sahara desert
Come the rays of nakedness
Of one speck of lecturing stone
But for the goodness of high pedestals
Upon weak hyenas?
Shame, shame, I mean fame the pillars
Of learnedness, comes such foul fragrance
Nakedness for scores.

The Peculiarities of the Izon Language

By Oscar Apuge
Peculiarities of The Izon Language.               Phase One: Notice an interesting aspect of the Kolokuma dialect: it does not end words with a consonant sound except the nasal "n" as seen in the following examples: kpain---quiet main-----disappear/vanish moun---hunger asin----blood dein---night erein---day kpiin---extremely dark dunuin---argue, etc. It is important to reiterate that only the "n" consonant appears to end a word in Izon language, all other consonants must be followed by a vowel. Examples: emi---available eterete---circle desi---jump bara---hand, etc. This is the reason why any native user of Izon would usually and subconsciously add a vowel to English words that end in a consonant. For instance; English      Izon realization box---------boxi, bokisi drum--------drumu, duromu yam----------yamu egg-----------eggi bread---------bredi, biredi iron-----------ironi(aiyoni) Thus, the typi...

Differences

By Oscar Apuge
No two things really look the same in every aspects. Such statement is true even with the mist identical twin in the world. We are all uniquely and gloriously made by the Creator. Life's good and interesting simply because there are different places, peoples and things in the world. So,  don't look down on yourself at all. Don't even let others successfully look down on you. They can never be you, and you can never be them. Take a look at the following poem. It will teach you something: a new mind set ablaze, determined to achieve greatness and success. Only do be too wise in your difference. Always be open to instructions, good counsels. God bless. Differences Difference is what makes life interesting to everyone. Familiarity will only make it a boredom. Differences are the apples of uniqueness which crown the eyes of each human being. And no two can ever be the same no matter how hard is the metaphor. Difference speaks loudly, in that it renders even identical...

Why You Need Water Early in the Morning

By Oscar Apuge
Water is one of the best gifts of nature. Everything that has breath needs water and in the right quantity and quality. Sometimes, we say that the only liquid that has no overdose measures is water. Trust me, you have never heard or rarely been told someone is sick because of drinking too much water. What you would hear at best is that such a person is I'll due to lack of water. Having said these, what is the best thing to drink on an empty stomach every morning? Priti Chaurasia has adviced to drink enough water for peak energy and health. It’s important how we start our day. During the night while you are sleeping, you become dehydrated. You not been drinking anything for hours and your body needs to be re-hydrated. Also, your body has been working hard in repair mode and the digestive system hopefully has had a rest. We have done a mini fast since our last evening meal. In the morning we are breaking-the-fast. I attended a health seminar in my church the early part of last y...
