Waiting

I was promised a dance and I intend to have it 
I will wait for the music to match the steps I have planned out 
While turns are taking 
I am waiting

I hear the notes from the band 
I heck will play them at my free time 
The sways and plie's 
The counts and the flushes
Patiently my feet must match the count

And when the conductor moves his Baton 
I know that gesture all too well 
Raising to take this dance 
And the pianist misses the score 
Saving the situation the conductor calls a medley

And I was ready to take my dance 
my feet was counting 
But now I stand like one tired of sitting but not waiting 
But the sheet has to go one more round 
Before I can step out again to claim my dance

But I know this well so I can tell 
This time will come 
This dance will  be danced
I know both the dancer and the conductor 
The crescendo is around the corner

Here it is. In time 
As the metronome clocks in 
In the husk of my counting tongue 
"May I have this dance? "

Hiccups

My biological trigger 
The motion that controls my body 
And leaves me in doubt if who owns me. 

If it is just what it is then I am safe, 
But when it happens in life I can't say.
For what made a poet of me?

I can't say I am, 
But this hiccups of life have sent me
to a refuge I for a while ignored.

For now I have rhymes, lines and time 
And the refuge for posterity I yield 
For if your eyes see this, you have my soul. 
When the hiccups are over 
As they always pass 
I will be the same, like before meets after

Yet in learning I have gained 
That I can in Providence lay, 
That won't be hurt or dismayed.

Now I have written, but not informed 
Yet I have for a fact grown 
To be humble to cry no for hiccups

But for hiccups

Growth

I remember my first 10 
All it was for was sweets and chewing gum 
It was over before it came.

I remember my first 100 
Now that was for more, 
And from where I paid my first tithe. 
A crisp 10.

I remember my first 1000 
With excitement and fulfillment 
A gift, but with empowering abilities 
Before it became a note.

I remember my first 10,000 
Yes I saved the 1000 
In the pocket of every worn trouser 
Before I could get a bank to pay them for my save.

I remember my first 50,000 
That came after series of loses and gains 
I learnt to deal, work, sweat and till. 
And the sms alert said this...

I remember my first 100,000 
Now that was a victory! 
My progress for a candy crushing child to a man with a vision...  
Away with the perks we often target

I await my first million 
It might have grown before you read this note
In some chest locked safe 
But be sure that I have never stopped growing.

The Confidence of Ignorance

The Confidence of Ignorance


1) The confidence of Ignorance, relates to everyone who has ever been content with not knowing.



2) Ignorance is a virtue. if well managed, It can produce limitless possibilities.



3) Ignorance is: a lack of knowledge,understanding, or education : the state of being ignorant.



4) Ignorance can often be misunderstood as a negative trait well far from it. Ignorance’s trait only relates to what it produces.



5) The state of not knowing refers to a knowledge of Ignorance.



6) Knowledge of Ignorance is in itself knowledge.



7) when you are aware of your Ignorance your situation is half resolved. You are on your way.



8) Knowledge will only be profitable when it is applied to deficiency.



9) e.g sitting in a nursery one class might make you the best student in class, but you would not have improved yourself.



10) you will have to know what you don’t know to know what you need to know.



11) however, so many people are ignorant about their Ignorance. Now that is bad!



12) Being ignorant about your Ignorance makes you confident to your own detriment.



13) This confidence brings about arrogance and pride as opposed to the Humility of one who is aware of his Ignorance.



14) When you are Informed about your Ignorance you begin to move towards information.



15) This movement towards knowledge is wisdom.



16) with an increase in wisdom, productivity becomes an end result and not a goal.



17) You need to lose the confidence of Ignorance to move into your happy place.



18) there is Fulfilment in Learning, and greater excitement when it is relevant.



19) so lose that ego and admit that you are not informed about everything and get admitted into the school of curiosity.



20)On a lighter note; curiosity kills cats and not human beings.
