LET ME LIVE ON...(GOODNIGHT MICHAEL & WHITNEY!)

Am so so down this morning..I woke up to a very rude & shoking loss of a beautiful Angel, an astonishing idol, a charming sister, an honest singer & diva, a soul-shaker & mover, a very romantic lover & true friend Whitney Hostney...It's very painful..I found love d day I became a poet, but just like Michael Jackson, Whitney shaped my whole understanding of dat strong human romantic emotions & how to truly deliver these emotions..(and dat is...("LOVE'')...Once again, I feel like a part of me has just left since Michael did that June..bt yet l'd always keep u rgt here..in my Heart..Whitney!..I'd miss d electrifying voice of dis beautiful Angel no doubt! I love u but God loves u more..& may God bless ur soul Whitney..as u Rest In Peace & until we meet again!...Goloba Adeola ( 12th February 2012)

 
It's a year now that...Aaahhh!....it breaks my heart to know that I'd be missing Michael for the rest of my life...it's a great shock to me and it really hits so bad...I am devastated!...Speechless...

I am dedicating this short poem to the memory of the one who has had an indescribable impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, myself inclusive...I see him as an indefatigable mythical legend...a HERO in its true sense and I really want to remember him for the many great achievements he has had in his life before this time...one of them is Uniting the whole world true his music and charity...especially bringing comfort, self-esteem, and hope to the children around the world...I grew up with his songs and felt substance in every of his works, and feel like my soul is gone with Michael...He's a great man...and He would live forever with his Legacy...Goodnight... and Rest In Perfect Peace Jackson! 

My deepest condolence to their families and fans all over the world... 

GOODNIGHT MICHAEL...REST IN PEACE WHITNEY!!!

LET ME LIVE ON…

Pls…let me live on…
When sudden darkness fall upon the sun
That my toils shall never be in vain
But I know how hard it’s to keep the pain.

Let me go on…
Like a shinning Ode on a Grecian Urn
Where beloved ashes must always lie
That, visions of them, shall never die.

I utterly beg of you today
That tomorrow when I go away
All the muses I’ve put on slate
Never shall see the wrath of fate.

I say, do not my labour betray
To have your duty delay
But to let me go on’n’on…
Even if I am gone.

I be certain that when I’m done,
I can from great beyond carry on
As Homer, Shakespeare, Solon’n’Milton’th their pen
Before they all retired to their quiet den.

Let me go on…
On’n’on the way of Leon
That my creativity reach immortality
And go on this way till eternity.

So, let me live on’n’on…
Even if darkness fall upon the sun
That my toils never shall be in vain
As I know how hard it’s to keep the pain. 

This song (poem) by me was my H@felt dedication 2 Late Michael Jackson and now 2 Whitney coz they were d most precious gifts God ever gave 2 me in undasting d true meaning of LOVE & LIFE in its wider perspective..I truly love them & will greatly miss them 4 d rest of my life!

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU LOST YOUR MIND TO SENSELESS JOY?

“In every community, there’s work to be done,
In every nation, there are wounds to heal,
In every heart, there’s the power to do it.”
----Marianne Williamson

Sometimes we’re so much immersed in worldly merriments that we let loose in extreme eating, drinking, singing and dancing riot. In those short-lived moments, we completely forget the troubles, the sorrows, sadness, pains and anguish we had had to go through in our lives.

We had quickly forget the stress and disappointments that had dealt a deadly blow on our hopes and aspirations, our goals and objectives to make life better for ourselves. We had been oblivious of the costly sacrifices we had made to come this very far in life. All these have suddenly fizzled away our sense of awareness that we already have fractured bones and bleeding hearts. That great and difficult challenge still lay bare before our naked eyes. That we still have enough fences to scale ahead of us.

However, little did we know that our overzealous and funky merriments could be shattered in a flash when the consequences of our irrational excitements strike us like a thunderstorm in the dead of the night.

Hunm…what a pity! “Alaaru to n je buredi, Awo Ori e lo n je ti o mo…” or how else could one explain the unspeakable irrationality behind this thoughtless overexcitement on festive day or any other assumed special day, when we are supposed to give thanks and show lots of gratitude to God for sparing our lives; when we’re supposed to sit down and go on a very deep sober reflection on how to cope and overcome our problems and troubles in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead until we finally get to the end of a smooth and beautiful road? NIGERIA, am I making sense?

But for me, I had for a very long time made a promise, an oath and covenant that I shall never allow myself to be tempted into such a senseless fun until my fractured bones are mended and my wounded bleeding heart healed…coz there, the power to do it lies.

BUT OUT OF MODERATION IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF SENSE!
