From My Soul, to Life, and the Society I Love

By Oluwafemi S. Balogun

If we rise, we rise together as a team, and if we fall, we fall together as a
team. Thats exactly the message I try to convey, in this masterpiece of
poems , short story ,and letter to the world. Even as I belief in collective
responsibility in order to effect positive change, I repeat this theme quite often,
in the sense of what I want the world to get out of this work, and many of my
work that follow through. Expediently! If anyone is to have unique meaning for
this work. Please change every I in it to You that way you will know, it could
be about you, and not about me .Even though it is From my soul to life, and
the society I love it is a message of peace; love ; struggle; sacrifice; building of
character, and harmony for all Gods children, were all Gods children .Thank
you, and God bless you.

Dedication

First foremost, I Dedicated this book to GOD who for one grants me gracious mercy to write; And secondly, to my dear mother who cares for me with her heart, but right now, as I speak, she suffers severe pain in the hospital due to an unfortunate car crashing into her office. She is twelve thousand miles away, and I am not sure if she is being treated with the best care.

LIFE

I SUFFER TOO

I suffer too much, so, I know what is like to suffer.

Often times, I strive to summon courage to move on.

So far, I have nothing to worry much about,

Since, I know suffer brings out substance.

If you never suffer, then you know nothing about success.

Stay focus and you will sustain in the fight much longer.

Don’t standstill if you want to stand tall,

So much so, that, you can skyrocket in no time.

With some stamina of Sundance I shall overcome.

Stop stunting if you want to last a life time.

Slow and steady,

You will always see the end of something new.

If I DIE NOW

If I die now what will the world say about my worth!

If I die now what will become of the memory of me.

If I die now what will God say of me that I do.

If I die now, what will be the change I help correct,

Through God that corrects me.

If I die now where will I be,

Is it with GOD or with the gods,

If I die now where will I be carry to,
