LAW & ORDER
 
Where there's no law
there's no sin
Ancient wisdom forewarn
then it hit me with an enforcer's truncheon
a string of letters - law and order
two powerful words indeed until
I realized it's significance
like the encroachment of the last days
of a wild goose chase as we race
the juxtaposition of a great two monolith
standing side-by-side like antonyms
in the hands of the enforcer.

A law is a mallet
in hands of the judge
crushing those who are against the law
the law is for order but
surely the order is not for the law
when the bottom rung of the societal ladder is in form
while the top takes a formless ameobic geometry
And they say 'do not kill'
yet the enforcers fires the first bullet
shun sharp practices
yet corruption is like the dish
that stains the lips of our leaders
like a toddler caught in the act.

the law is not order
when the plus 170 million natives stay in line
while the boss breaks every written creed in the books
after all he has the law on his side
embellished in all kinds of name
'impunity''the amendment'
because let's face it
a law that is not sacrosanct is no law
a law that is not built on timeless principle is no law
a law that empowers the servant against his masters
or a ruler whatever the title is called -
against those that employed him is no law.

who is the law?
who makes the law?
who makes the law for the enforcer that makes the law?
I truly do not know
but one thing I know -
the law of natural order
the law of Kharma
the law of and for all mankind
the law that brings balance and equality
the law that brings order indeed.

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID AIR FRESHENER (…best DIY formulations ever)

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID AIR FRESHENER (…best DIY formulations ever) If you’ve ever lived close to a land fill, you can probably tell the volume of rain about to fall just from the poignant moving air that hovers around the land fill and it’s environs. The neighbourhood smells really bad, stale and un -fresh. On the other hand, if you have been to a park to relax especially when the tree flowers are in their blooming season, you might be greeted to a cozy array of fragrances. I particularly love the strong scent of the Frangipani flower. Odours are quite powerful and they sure do much work than science admits currently. In fact, in addition to other senses, humans have survived through the ages by relying on the sense of smell. The senses collect loads of information the brain then processes. Without them, the brain is just an intelligent machine with high potential yet without the necessary external connections, it is useless. We associate odour with everything – the good, th...

The topic of sexual violence still remains largely ignored even in this age. Sadly, like every public health challenge, denial only worsens its menace. It carries patriarchal, misogynist and gender bias undertones. It thus becomes pertinent to acknowledge the scourge of sexual violence in our national and cultural life. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes sex violence as " any sexual act or any attempt to obtain sexual act , unwanted sexual comments or advances , acts to traffic or otherwise directed , against a person's sexuality using coercion by any person regardless of their relationship with the victim in any setting including but not limited to home and work ." The root causes of sexual violence are complex and like many other crimes, it may not be completely explicable or understood by a single factor. However, one of the most underscored factors associated with sexual violence is the subjection of culture. It is noteworthy that the diversity...

The Story of Two Friends and Bear

-
  Source:  www.ImportantIndia.com Reviewed by:  Dedoyin Tom and John were two friends. One day they were passing through a dense forest. John said, “Friend, I am afraid there are wild beasts in this forest. What will we do if a wild beast attacks us?” “Don’t be afraid, John,” said Tom, “I shall stand by your side if any danger comes. We shall fight together and save ourselves.” Thus talking they went on their journey. But suddenly they saw a bear coming towards them. Tom at once got up the nearest tree. He did not think what his friend would do. John did not know how to climb a tree. He had no way of escape. He was helpless. But soon he took a plan. He fell flat on the ground like a dead man. The bear came up to John. It smelt his nose, ears and eyes. It took him to be dead and went away. Then Tom came down from the tree. He said to John, “What did the bear whisper in your ear?” John said, “The bear told me not to trust a friend who leaves his friend in danger.” Lesson Le...
