Who Is Fooling Whom?

Beggars or Paupers and Racists or Terrorists

Let me state clearly that giving alms to beggars is not charity.
True charity is when you help the beggar to stop being a beggar and become a worker earning a living and also contributing to the social and economic development of his or her community or society.

The hypocrisy of feeling good when you give alms to beggars on the street is all bullshit and rubbish when you fail to change the beggar and alleviate his poverty.

If I see a beggar, I will ask him why he is begging and what can I do to help him so that he does not need to beg again. Like giving the beggar a seed grant to have a means of earning some money or capital for the survival and welfare.

As far as I am concerened it is wickedness if you are rich and you know a beggar at the corner of your street and you keep on giving him alms everyday without addressing his problem to change his miserable condition. If you give him enough money to start a lucrative trade or give him means of employment and later you see him begging again, please get him arrested for he is not a beggar but a fraudulent crook and rogue. Because begging can be a sort of chicanery.

There is too much hypocrisy in the world. And the most annoying is White Hypocrisy which is even worse than racism. Because these white hypocrites in the Republican Party and the rest of America are even worse than the KKK or white supremacists. And I am going to wage war against these White hypocrites who pretend not to be racists in the open, but they are indeed racists in their hearts and souls. Racism is as evil as terrorism. There is nothing different from the White racist and the Islamic terrorist. So, it is sheer hypocrisy to see White racists in America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa condemning Osama bin Laden and the other Islamic terrorists. Because they are both evil and the same agents of the devil their master.

Whosoever does evil
Is of the devil.

The white racists in America have forgotten how they attacked and murdered thousands of innocent black people and now they are condemning Osama bin Laden and his devils?

Racism and terrorism are twin-evils.

Poverty can provoke the poor man to become a terrorist.
An armed robber is a terrorist.
Every criminal is a terrorist.

Why did Osama bin Laden dodge from becoming a suicide bomber?
But he encourages thousands of other muslims to become suicide bombers.
Leadership is by example, let Osama bin Laden become a suicide bomber and die in their next suicidal terrorist bomb attacks.

Who is fooling whom?

Anyone who disagrees with me is an ignorant fool. And a moron.

It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.
- William G. McAdoo

Psalm 72

Psalm 72
1Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

2He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

4He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

5They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

14He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

16There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

19And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Hello My Love! Long Time No See, Long Time No Call

I am missing my sweetest.
Because, I have not seen her for over a month now and when I called her number, she was not available and she has not called since the last time she did two weeks ago. And I told her I wanted to withdraw into my shell for a while. And she agreed.





I love her.
That is why I am missing her now.
I am wondering how she is faring?

I have sent her text messages.

Hello my love!
I am missing you every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
The thoughts of you fill my heart.
Long time no see, long time no call.

Verses From The Scarlet Tears of London

On Islamic Terrorism:
In AD 624, The Prophet Muhammed announced the Jihad or holy war.
“ I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite off their finger-tips off them...slay them wherever you find them…”


Sunniya,
I got a suicide note yesterday.
It was from your brother Mustafa.
He is going to blow himself up on Sunday.
He mentioned somewhere in Gaza.

But why?
Oh, Sunniya! Don’t cry.
Mustafa chose the way to go.
The terrible deed has been done.
And he is gone.




As British Charge 11 Suspects in Airliner Plot, let me remind all the Islamic terrorists and their fellow Muslims that...
God has not called us to be suicide bombers
God has called us to be peacemakers.
God has not called us to be messengers of death.
God has called us to be messengers of life.
God has not called us to be messengers of falsehood.
God has called us to be messengers of truth.
God has not called us to be messengers of hatred.
God has called us to be messengers of love.


On the beauty of the Hijab and Burga:

She came in silken veils
Like aurora in her sails.
And the siren fled at the scent of her chador
The hood of her candor
My beloved Princess Sunniya
She is the loveliest damsel in all Arabia.


On Adultery:

Is only the woman that is always caught in adultery?
What of the man?
Or did she commit the adultery by herself?
The hypocrisy and injustice must stop.



Some verses from Scarlet Tears of London:

Faces stained with blood
Grimaces of agony
Petrified as they stood.
Too numb to bear any acrimony.

Oh, my beloved London
The pride of the English Crown
Let me wipe away your scarlet tears
The scarlet tears of your bloodshed
Though you are heartbroken.
But, you are not forsaken.

The Insect Knows That There Is No Silent Night



Sorry I am no fancy poet
And sorry again, my name is not Moet.

God knows that there nothing like silent night
Because no night is silent.
Except the composer was deaf
And couldn’t hear the sound in the thicket
The chirps of the crawling cricket
Crawling on the leaf
As the nocturnal insects crawl about
The stridulating Bessbugs and beetles
As they go about their night hunts
Chirping in the moonlight.

The insect knows that there is no silent night.

The Case of JonBenet Ramsey and Other Tragedies

JonBenet Ramsey (Courtesy of the Washington Post)

This harrowing tragedy of the JonBenet Ramsey is just one out thousands of the most gruesome horrible and terrible atrocities going on around us as I have once blogged on the dangers of our ignorance.

JonBenet, a regular participant in child beauty contests, was found beaten and strangled in the family home the day after Christmas in 1996. Male DNA residue was found in her underwear, but police never reported a match for the sample.
Washington Post


In another tragic case, a child was raped and murdered in the public toilet while members of her family were nearby outside the toilet. How did the male predator find his way into the female toilet?

What of the rape and murder of helpless and powerless girls in Guatemala City?


Police found that the Ramsey family had given more than a dozen keys to the house -- to maids, workmen and others. Scores of neighbors and family friends were interviewed.
Washington Post

Why would they do such a foolish thing as quoted above? Distributing a dozen keys to strangers? Even maids are strangers? Because, you don't know what evils they do behind your back! Do you know how many children have been abused and violated by housemaids, neighbours and even tutors whilst their parents were not paying attention or absent?

When God warned us not to trust anyone, he wasn't joking.
You cannot trust anybody with your child, wife or husband.

I hold parents and the law enforcement agencies and the government responsible for these preventable crimes.

We must keep eyes on our children and women 24/7. And we must police our residential areas 24/7.

Ignorance kills.

God Has Not Castrated Me


Yes, I am a Christian.
I believe in God and God has made me whole
To live my life to the fullest
To experience the pleasures of his love.
And not to deny the beauty of my body.

Yes. I agree.
Fornication is a sin.
But not an erection.
And Saint Paul said we should confess our sins to one another.
And the Lord's prayer said, God forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
So, any Christian who pretends to be without sin
Is a liar and is ignorant of the truth.
As for me, my faith is my strength.

She saw my stiff erection and cringed.
"Oh, no! You are dirty minded."
Who is dirty minded?
You who already jumped to the erroneous conclusion.
That every erection is for sex?
So, even a month old baby boy with an erection is thinking of sex?
You ignorant humans are the funniest creatures on earth.

Can you be wiser than God who created sex?
And knows why a woman should have an orgasm?
Or why Orikinla should have a potent erection?

If you ask me to make love to you
And you are single and free to choose whom to love
My dear I would be glad to make love to you intoto.
It is better to love you than to hurt you.
What is the opposite of love?
Is it not hate?
God forbid me to hate you.
So, let me love you as many times as you would enjoy my love.
Because, I was born to love.

I thank God for my erection
For God has not castrated me.

Redeem Israel, O God, From All Their Troubles!

Psalm 25
Of David.
1[a] To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

4 Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;

5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11 For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

13 He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.

18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.

19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.

22 Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!

Footnotes:

Psalm 25:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

Psalm 25 (New International Version)

N.B:
The nation of Israel shall be redeemed by the grace of God and not by the Peace Resolution for Lebanon Unanimously Approved at U.N.. And all the enemies of Israel who don't want Israel to exist don't deserve to exist. And those enemies who say that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth shall be wiped off the face of the earth. Because, God will redeem Israel from all her troubles.

Whosoever does not want you to live does not deserve to live.

We should live and let others live in love, peace and unity for the common good of humanity.

Scarlet Tears of London Circulates As London Escapes New Terrorist Bomb Attacks


My Scarlet Tears of London is dedicated to the memory of the unfortunate victims of the terrorist bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005. And as the book is circulating, London is being threatened by another terrorist bomb attack. The terrorist plot has been foiled and I thank God for saving us from these diabolical enemies of humanity in the masquerade of religion. Again, they are British Muslims living among their fellow British citizens in the UK. And you wonder how they could be so wicked and so unrepentant!
It all began with a tip: In the aftermath of the July 7, 2005, suicide bombings on London's transit system, British authorities received a call from a worried member of the Muslim community, reporting general suspicions about an acquaintance.
Washington Post


See Plot to Bomb U.S.-Bound Jets Is Foiled. The 24 Suspected Conspirators are the devils among us.
Scarlet Tears of London and other poems in English and Spanish is worth reading to see my poems on London 7/7, and the psyche of the Islamic terrorists. I also composed poems on the tragedies of Hurricane Katrina, the Asian Tsunami, the unfortunate wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fate of Israel in my "The Rape of Judah".

For more details of my testimonies on the existential realities of life, read my Scarlet Tears of London now on Barnes & Noble

People who bought my book on Barnes & Noble also bought the following:
• Gone Lisa Gardner
• The Prophet Kahlil Gibran
• Inferno Dante Alighieri, John Ciardi
• Paradise Lost (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) John Milton, David Hawkes (Introduction)
• The Iliad and the Odyssey Homer, Samuel Butler (Translator)

I have read Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet since 1980 with John Milton's Paradise Lost and of course I have read Homer's classics.

I am very glad and grateful to God that my book is going places globally.

My Love, These Words Are Not Enough

For My Aussie Sweetheart Keshi

Open wide the alluring colourful petals of your heart
To welcome my soul to the heaven of your being
And let me spread my wide wings over your bosom
As I cleave to the solace of your warm embrace
The warm embrace of your pollen grace
The pollen grace of your sweetest essence
The sweetest essence of your innocence
In our dance of nuptial romance
As you feed me with the sweet nectar of your innermost heart
I am immersed in the ether of your immaculate spirit
Enveloped in the rapture of our eternal bliss.
And there are no words worthy enough to capture the drumbeats of my heart
In the celestial cadences of the heavenly minstrels
Singing of the eternal covenant of our divine communion.

My sweet Keshi
These words are not enough to clothe my enchanted passions
The enchanted passions of my elated spirits
The elated spirits of my heart and soul longing for my sweet Keshi.

Scarlet Tears of London Now On Amazon.com



I give thanks to God as I tell you the good news that my latest book Scarlet Tears of London is now available on Amacon.com. And I am not going to tell you the values and virtues of my poems. But God knows that I am only his vessel of the essence of the romance of our existence in the universe. If you read any collection of poems more universal than Scarlet Tears of London, let me know. Because I believe that we should all live in common empathy with humanity. We don't have to wait for catastrophic events like 9/11 or London 7/7 before we feel the pains and sorrows of those suffering and dying in other countries as the tragedies in Israel and Lebanon have put more salt into the open wounds of terrified Americans and Europeans who felt very safe and secured in their Western comfort zones and tourist resorts until Osama bin Laden and his gang of suicide-bombers invaded New York, Madrid and London. Most of the so called Western elites were very ignorant of the pathetic lives of the wretched of the earth in Ethiopia where over 200 are now dead from floods or the bloody rebellion in Sri Lanka.But the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan also informed them to write bestsellers and discover the unknown and unsong geniuses in developing nations that as I blog, the Girl Blog from Iraq is being adapted for the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe arts festival. Fringe? I hope they don't mean the lunatic-fringe elements scattered all over the world. And anyone from our world who has not made it to Hollywood does not deserve their frontpage like Mel Gibson and his misunderstoood Jewish blues.

This is my second book to be released since the beginning of this year and I believe that God will give me more grace to publish two more of my unpublished books before the New Year. I want to publish all my unpublished books in the next three years.

The only way you can encourage and boost my morale is to buy my books. Because, I live and work to raise funds for charities in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

I cannot publish all the thousands of compliments I have been receiving on my poems. But let me publish the most recent compliments from three of my friends in Nigeria, America and Malaysia.

~~Congratulations!!! I know you will go places.

Cheers and good luck with the sales.

Emmanuel.

~~Congratulations my friend. I will mention this in
my next monthly newsletter :-)
Dave
http://www.fatherdave.org

~~I am so happy for you and I am thrilled to hear that Scarlet Tears of London is finally in Amazon. That is a great thing!

Yes, all the glory for the Lord. We have His blessings and things are turning out well for you and me.

Congratulations!

Best Wishes,

Felicitations

Chika Onu directing Glamour Girls.

I went to Port Harcourt yesterday to celebrate the 50th birthday of Mr. Charles Onu the younger brother of Chika Onu, one of the most accomplished directors in Nollywood.

I had a good time at the party hosted by the celebrant in his mansion on Orominike Street in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. And I returned to Bonny Island hours ago.

Chika Onu is one of the very few Nigerian filmmakers I respect and I can work with. Because, he is straight forward. And since he relocated from Lagos to Port Harcourt, we have been meeting to deliberate on our projects. I have decided to work with him on the production of my major film "Oma". "Oma" is only the working title. Chika has won many highly coveted prizes since he won the 1975 J.F. Kennedy International Essay Award.

Chika Onu directing The Flute

I told Chika Onu that if South Africa can win the Oscar, Nigeria can also win it. And we agreed to take up the challenge of making films that win us the most coveted laurels in the film industry. And I need executive producers to produce "Oma".

For You My Beloved



My love.
Have you heard the Song of Songs?
The whispers of the Spirit of life
Swaying to the heartbeats of love.
In the ambiance of romance.
As we rhyme to the cadence.

Tomorrow Is Pregnant

I have been away to Port Harcourt and Lagos on working visits and couldn’t even see my sweetheart Linda whilst I was in Lagos.

The black and beautiful Nneka was mourning the sudden loss of her father and I did not even have enough time to comfort her. I was meeting with her aunt when I was told that Nneka’s father just died after brief illness. And her father meant a lot to her. I miss the passionate days Nneka and I spent in her aunt’s Hot & Spicy fast foods restaurant on the Bajulaiye Street in Shomolu, Lagos. The secret coded languages we taught each other made our romance very special.

Then as I was arriving from Port Harcourt this morning, I met Loveline a young Nigerian actress and my friend at the Nigeria LNG Jetty on Bonny Island and she told me that she was leaving for the funeral rites of her grandmother who brought her up since she lost her mother when she was only a child.

I have just lost money in an art exhibition I organized on Bonny Island, because only few people came to see the artworks and only two paintings were sold. The Adages, Images and Messages Art Exhibition was well publicized and every resident of the Nigeria LNG Residential Areas got a notification on the art exhibition.

The art and crafts exhibition featured the oil on canvas paintings in “netism” by George Condi of the Nigerian Army, Mhyoung Barracks, Lagos; oil on canvas paintings of Ebele Ukaegbu; acrylic on canvas paintings of Wilfred Nnuji; abstract installations by my humble self; magnificent jewelries made of beads and gems by the highly gifted Helen Cowan of the legendary King William Dappa-Pepple royal family of Bonny Kingdom; crafts by Gina Oby Attisso and the traditional African art and crafts of the Oladiti twins from Ibadan.
