TIME.

Breakfast and dinner

They seem to be passing away so fast
They come when we are lonely but leave so fast
They don't wait for lunch and dinner
They come for breakfast and leave at noon

But their adversary come and stay for long
They wait for lunch and dinner
Even though they aren't welcomed

If not for the birds at night
They would never leave
 The birds come to our rescue by singing melodiously
Making the lamentable moments leave

But sadly they still come back at noon for lunch and dinner

Birds birds birds
Sing sing sing

No reply

The birds has refused to sing
Oh oh oh Birds
Why
Our lamentable moments
They have refused to leave

Our melodious voice aren't helping
They have lost their melodious tune
They are hoarse
They are rauque
They are rauco

Oh why  now
When we need them to sing
The sad moments away

They've refused to help
We are left alone
We are to make our own decisions

We are left to sit with the lamentable moments alone.

THE MEANING OF GRAMMATICAL NAMES AND GRAMMATICAL FUNCTION(S) A  Grammatical name  is the name given to a word, phrase or clause depending on its function in a given clause or sentence.

Why Are Degree Holders Poor?

 Picture of a jobless man.   Recently,  I  came across a post on whatsapp which i think that I should share with every youth and young adults.  It was written by Gbenga Adeba Gambo( The Guardian Newspaper ) “If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity, but you are not sure you can do it, say yes- then learn how to do it later!”- Richard Branson SCHOOL rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules, life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you would be at the top of life. The world is filled with poor graduates, but rich opportunists. Kevin Ngo said: “If you don’t make the time to work on creating the life you want, you are eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.” Your certificates and degrees are meant to
