Literature / The Plights Of Young Black Male by SparklingSpark(m): 12:23pm On Dec 31, 2013
...the world of OURS
like filths in the GUTTER
most times I can't help but WONDER
is there hope in the wind for a BROTHER
a lone tree in the wilderness left to SUFFER?
even worse, it has to give shades to the OTHERS
all the goods, the rich's GOT IT
the poor's dreams/hopes trunked in his BUGATI
we indeed need a better PLACE
a fair PLAY by the nature in this GAME for all to put a smile on the FACE
cos nothing worse than exist without LIVING
the wind pipes get you sneeze just so you're BREATHING
it's worthless loosing the air on pile of WISHES
from afar, we see the better ends but never cross the BRIDGES
if this were WAR, it's the poor's LOSS and the rich's WON
they keep the trophies while we kill each other over the CRUMPS
but we could help by being smarter than being DUMB
cos nothing's left for survival but the good hearts that BOND
Literature / Dear Mama by SparklingSpark(m): 2:30pm On Nov 18, 2013
I grew up to know you a ‘magic’, although you’re not a MAGICIAN.
You solve life’s countless, complex equations better than world best MATHEMATICIAN.
Sad as it is, I have to pen this down that though I share with my Daddy same DNA,
he left you on your own and biology remains the only platform on which he fathers me till DATE.
Don’t blame me if I treat him like a total STRANGER.
Cos when I was vulnerable, he never was there to offer me defence from the impending DANGERS.
Stranded on welfare, as a lil kid, all I wanted was hot plates outta the KITCHEN.
Mum, not only would you provide, you’d strive to serve them with some piece of CHICKEN.
And when the food store grew slim, running out of 'em GRAINS,
you'd rather go hungry than to see me suffer the PAINS.
Such a touching memory, the trauma you went through the days I fell SICK.
You'd grow THIN and WEAK, cos till I get well or HEALED, you wouldn't run other BIZ nor even EAT till I'm back on my FEET, even if it ran from days to WEEKS.
Growing up, I met my whole weight on your feminine SHOULDER.
Born a superhuman, I grew super fast, got my feet on the ground as a real SOLDIER.
I thank you for the extra love and care that you GAVE ME.
Cos as I wage the life's battles, the lessons you taught me with wisdom have all SAVED ME.
I wish I could readily and completely take the pain AWAY,
you mean the world to me, I can't wait to see us greeted by the brighter DAYS.
You're a Queen, you deserve the CROWN,
I promise to make you PROUD,
and before the whole world, I’d stand you out in the CROWD.
You'll own everything that’s MINE,
Like the diamond, figuratively, your possessions will SHINE.
Words can't express how I feel; my regret is having only one life to make the PROOF.
And as you've taught me to be 'transparent', I just hope in me you can see all these THROUGH.
Dear Mama, YOU'RE APPRECIATED...

He deserves to win because he was the one who did the search on the final count, others were just watching...

[quote author=noblezone]

I need explanations on the violent and bloody methods of spreading Islam as carried out by Mohammed and Usman Dan Fodio (in Nigeria).
I want to know why other people are slaughtered by slightest and even misguided excuses by moslems.
I want to know why moslems are usually free in a place densely populated by other religions but other religions cannot be that free in place densely populated by people of moslems.

Christ had been cartooned and mocked severally, it was not an issue, but the darnish cartoons about Mohammed made the moslem world so thirsty for blood.

Christ teaches us to forgive those who wronged us and even help them if they are in need. Mohammed insists on "an eye for an eye".

i don't understand Islam. I served in the North Zaria to be precise and we lived in fear throughout. What other religion has so much violence embedded within her members?

I need explanation for the Reinhard Bonke riots in Kano.
I need answers for the behading of Akaluka.

I am confused on why some people had to die because there was an eclipse of the moon.


Let me begin by telling you that no one amongst all humans could ever be as accommodating and enduring as these two prophets you just mentioned. Christ (PBUH) was once wrongly insulted while preaching the gospel and he never uttered a word in retaliation and when his followers asked him why he didn't answer to the unbelievers' abuses, he replied "everyone has what he's had to sell, that (abuses) is what they have and this (sharing the gospel) is ours which we are selling." Likewise, Mohammad (PBUH)was once stoned and badly injured when he attempted to go and seek refuge in a town after the deaths of his uncle and wife, so as to continue his call unto God. Soaked in the pool of his blood, God sent an angel to him to ask if he(Mohammad) would like his offenders punished for their evil act and he replied "Oh God please forgive them for they know not what they're doing". The list for these acts of endurance and forgiveness goes on endlessly.
Now to offer you clarification on the issues you raised;
First Mohammed (PBUH) never resorted to 'violent and bloody' methods to spread Islam, the truth is that when he was making his glorious calls unto the one and only God, his people (people of Mecca who were idol worshipers then) did not only disbelieve him but frantically and brutally tried to stop him from talking about God. Now the point is, though the people were at the liberty not to accept his message (and the prophet was not to force the message on them), they had no right also to stop him from preaching (the words of God which came from God and thus made his exercise "the work of God"wink. This they continued and followed with series of threats and eventually, brutal attacks. His reactions which in-turn led to full blown conflicts with the unbelievers was directed by God Almighty to preserve "His Words". It should be noted that the prophet was being defensive of "the words of God" from the unbelievers.
Secondly, we all have heard or read about the crusaders of this world and their activities, that has not justified any condemnation of the generality of the christian kingdom as religion of violence, brutality, hostility, terrorism, etc, because there are some actions that are primarily incited by individuals' ways of thinking which could be contrary to the teachings of their religions.
Finally, it is pertinent to note that Islam teaches and preaches PEACE and FORGIVENESS a great deal. This I can give you a full note on if chance permits. Thanks.

Let it be known that Christians still own and run their businesses in countless number of churches in the northern states of the country (with numerous new ones springing up at present) despite the incessant bombings. What happens if all the churches in such states were to be demolished based on this ideology (I find it difficult is actually the Gov.'s motive though)of putting a stop to the spreading of certain religion (Christianity)?
ISLAM is of God and no one, I repeat no person or group of persons would by any means be able to put an end to it.
And I hereby challenge whoever deems it fit to come up with constructive and reasonable argument that's contrary to this view.
Please whoever wants to comment should show good level of maturity by avoiding unnecessary insults, then we could even take up meanings and virtues of ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY side by side for the benefits of other followers of the two religions.
