Life, Without Poem

Dinging and dangling like a wretched bell

Life without poem is like a wild cell

No freedom of emotional thought

Boredom will bid no farewell

Deep and wide like a venomous well

Life without poem is a paradise hell

No feelings to flaunt

Then loneliness has quell

Famished and hurted like an arrogant dumbbell

Life without poem is plate of seashell

Dangerous to teeth and tongue

Hunger hunts us like pastel

Forbidden and wanted like a criminal

Life without poem is like we rebel

To our righteous Fidel

Yet Our principled heart repel

Life without poem is a enjambment

Every line and stanza scattered like lost sheep

No Shepard to compel

Their artery is dispel

Single and burden with life castrophe

life without poem is like a poor widow

Caring for children with the junkies she sells

Life made her antipersonnel

Praying and praising in evil chapel

Life without poem is a seer with demons foretell

They believed what their eyes marvel

they were thrown into eternal Helle

Life without poem is life with no hope

the heart has no white friend to commune with,

the pen will felt useless at sight of war

And it ink will be forever cage in eggshell.

Hot and dangerous for all personnel

Life without poem is like a wilderness

No living will survive without drinking from well

Wildernesses will only make them unwell.

Dull and dun like a sucking child

Life without poem, fools fill the earth

No word of wisdom will pass

Hombres will move in light of foolishness.

Dark and dull like a demonic cell

Life without poem full of darkness

No candle to light our world

Everyone will move in total darkness.

Corps Member Tackles Unemployment in Gombe with Fish Farming Training

A bold new project aimed at transforming the lives of 100 young people in Gombe is underway, as Ishaq Abdullahi Shehu, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps member from Kano State, turns his agricultural expertise into a community development program. The initiative focuses on modern fish farming techniques designed to combat youth unemployment and boost local food production.

His program centers on the innovative Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS), a method that recycles water through mechanical and biological filtration to allow for high-density, sustainable fish farming while minimizing the use of land and water. Gombe, like many parts of Nigeria, is grappling with the dual challenges o...
