Life and Death Is A Part of This Life

Death puts everything into a clear and proper perspective, and yet – it is the very thing that walks through the gentle arms of this life. Each and every person does live with, and wrestle with the reality of a premature demise.

If any human being becomes inflexible to compromise for the greater good of all mankind – then the beauty of constant change becomes an ugly war where honesty will never reveal her true self.

The Nigerian Slaughter House

A very distant week or so ago the mad beast

Ran wild screaming and cheering about

The blood-lust that over took their soul,

And Satan agreed that to be pure and free

Is to slaughter the innocent men, women

And children – silence the innocent voices

Of tomorrow. The mad men

Armed them selves with machetes, hatchet blades

And other killing machines

To make sure death would be permanent

And swift. Half the sun was covered with heartbreaking blood,

And the Nigerian town’s people wept,

And as their tears fell to the blooded earth,

A cheer came from the mad men

And said we are the chosen one,

And one Nigerian man

Whom was cut and bruised  

From head to toe..,-asked God

To forgive all of the mad beast,

And God answered the Nigerian man’s plea

From the vast universe – fear not,

The innocent shall be remembered

From this day forth

And they will walk with me

Until eternity remembers them

As stars that light the universe

A billion times past the arms of infinity.

The Anatomy of Words

The astounding world of words have been around from the time before mankind was created, and when God the originator of all things infinite created man and woman, this gift he gave unto his creation to communicate the celebrated pattern of words. Between what is here and now, mankind has had a impassioned love affair with words, and it does not matter if you are a English scholar, or an everyday person, like it or not, the anatomy of words surround each and every person on this earth, but, it is up to each person to learn to love words, or just to accept words as ordinary things that do not matter very much.

The great harvest of words are like dreams that wake the sleeping mind – as if we recreate each and everything which connects us and the universe beyond the anatomy of a word.

Words are not just about definitions, words also play a big part in mathematical equations, and word problems. The definition of a morpheme (mor’fem’) according to The American Heritage Dictionary of English Language – Third Edition: Linguistics. A meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word, such as man, or a word element, such as –ed in walked, that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts.

This meaning poses a very powerful testament about the organization of words, and how they complement each other, and just like mathematical equations, poetry falls directly and indirectly into the definition “of a word or word element. Even though much of poetry is somewhat abstract in nature, the words are divided up “into smaller meaningful parts.”

Morphemics can be classified and listed fewer than two categories; the description, and classification of morphemes, which is the study of words, and the morphemic intricate structure of a language. Not only do words have significant meanings, but words resemble every facet of the human intellect. Global studies have found that any child can be taught to learn and comprehend the English language as early as one year of age. It is also a proven fact of in-depth intense scientific study – that young children are more adept to learn another language – even if it is not the original language from their birth-right.

Even though words can be micro-managed, the traditional language of words derives from many ancient archaic texts. According to The American Heritage Dictionary of The English Language, the meaning of a word is described as “a sound or combinations of sounds, or its representation in writing, printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes.”

Still, what is quite amazing; the word itself is quoted so many times within a sentence or a quote, in a word mathematical equation, which it would seem redundant for the word to appear in the same context – referring to the meaning and the direction of language itself.

The Anatomy of a Word

In every language a word is connected to another word, this simple – yet complex relation is how human kind relates to one another. And so, we should be extra careful to treat words as children that mature into wonderful things we grow to love.
