DEPRESSED BARD II (MY PRAYER)

Down on my Kneel

Ready to settle my bill

And to get a new deal.

I'm a brood of viper,

I have sent souls to you,

Through my skills as a sniper

While many I have subdued.

Like the tax collector,

I bow my heart before you, my creator.

I'm a severe sinner

And a villainous trickster.

I was born in a city of "NO LOVE",

Everyone is enemy of peace

That's why my neighbors care not for the decease

Hatred has sent souls above.

That's is the story of my crooked life,

I deserved to fall on edge of knife,

To transcend to afterlife,

And asked you why you sent me to wildlife?

Lord, my candle vanish like smoke; my bones burn like glowing embers.

My heart is cursed and it dried like grass in wilderness

Fill me with your living water and soaked my bones in the fountains.

Dear Creator, I live amidst hatred and anxiety,

Morning bread and drinks are eaten with sobriety

My night's meal is mixed with ashes and poison.

Send your peace like rain and your manner fall for me.

I work tirelessly like a clock

While my peanut is eaten by gaint hawk.

Families and friends stood against me like Goliath

Everyday becomes working days including sabbath.

Dear God, my goal and success has turned to nightmare

All facet caged my life in snare

Those fowlers are glare

They unspared suffering on me.

Down on my kneel

Humble like a sheep

Dear God, Answer my orison

That is my reason

For my gloomy face at this season.

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...
