the Marketers

-
Revenue and remuneration
Salaries and Employees

Distribution
Selling
Production

A different opinion
Where are the profits?
Who are the profits?

Where have they all gone?
They are not missing
yet cannot be found

the economy drowns
Yet the economy grows

Feeble minds lament 
Active minds breakthrough

Are leaders to be blamed?
Is society to be considered?
Who is to work?
You! You! You!

Wait not for
an economical bloom
Wait not for Leaders

Vendors, we sell
and watch our
profits fly away like 
an aeroplane

Profits, do land
Where?  We do not know

Is it a dream or
Is it corruption?
that we invest
and gain nothing
that we sit under
the hot sun and bargain
only to obtain nothing

that in our offices
we meet suppliers
then, bankruptcy

Miscalculation
Misplacement
Anachronism
Malapropism

Errors occur
they remain
Effects produced

I weep not
Cry more
Grape vine

Worries upon worries
Influence and distraction

Some seek the Spiritual
Others, mental options
and the worst emotional
engagement

but in all these

Chaos
Conflicts
Losses
I seek the ultimates

My education and God.

Pedestrians walk
without a thought
of an accident

Drivers drive
being careful
to eschew harm
even death

Marketers do their
part to boost

Children, school or not
do their parts
Adults, work or not
do their parts
Criminals, no matter the
location do their part

It's your choice to be
one of these Marketers
C'est votre choix pour être un de ces commerçants.

we are all MARKETERS!

JEWEL, a poem based on Wole Soyinka’s «The Lion And The Jewel »

It’s time to start the revolution! The decision to decide lay with me Yet I wasted so much time What was I thinking? Laugh to scorn You bloody excuse of a man A dream With a mean A mission A misplaced vision The trauma of losing Gasping for freedom Without even pushing Indeed, I chose An option disgusted Unacceptable But it’s culture! It is what it is Don’t oppose What I want But if you cannot If you’re not willing It’s called Sacrifice I will stand by my culture! My name is Jewel. Why based on Soyinka’s play? The Lion and The Jewel is a play written by Wole Soyinka. The play places emphasis on the traditional norms and customs that govern marriage. The  Jewel, Sidi is faced with having to marry a learned young man, Lakunle, who is from the city and feels he knows it all, and a King, Baroka, who is highly culturally inclined. Reading the play caused me to think deeply about the choices that we make in life. At a point, I was very angry with the

(National Institute on Drug Abuse, Drug Facts,2012). Marijuana is usually smoked in hand rolled cigarettes. It is also smoked in blunts (emptied cigarettes that have been partially or fully refilled with marijuana). Users of the drug mix it with their meals as well. Over the years, many professionals have labelled the drug as very harmful. However, this same drug contains Tetrahydrocannabinol which is useful for treating some medical problems: Marijuana can be used to treat glaucoma which damages the optic nerve and causes loss of vision. Also, Marinol a legal and safe version of medical Marijuana has been available by prescription since 1985. It is no surprise that a plethora of states across the globe have Legalized Marijuana. Hence, when Kofi Annan, the Former Secretary General of the United Nations raised the issue of the legaliz
