“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.
Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?” ― Brian Tracy
“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.” ― Socrates
“The world says: “You have needs — satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don’t hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more.” This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

you are a chameleon
we all know
your principles are on
beach sand
ever changing, ever moving.
you
are never stable
are an example
of a mirage
here today
gone tomorrow.
it means nothing to you
to change your words
or jettison your principles.
it means nothing to you
to dissemble or tell lies
of what use is “fixity”?
of what justification
is being principled?
why do men need
to be certain of you?
is life itself not ephemeral?
tarry a while, tarry a while.
mr politician of no fixed interests
chief madaru of no permanent friends
chief Ojelu of mean expressions
the communal interests
are not yours,
your interests are
the only viable one
your interests and your
interests alone
tarry a while, tarry a while.
while you acquire
everything for yourself
without thinking of others
have you asked
whether
you will take anything away?
when your interests
keep changing
have you asked yourself
whether you are leaving impressions
behind for your offspring?
tarry a while, chief, tarry a while.
it is not how “chameleonic”
you are that matters
but
your standing for something.
stand up for something
politician
it pays you in the long run.
tarry a while, tarry a while
