To my greatest farmer that put the seed in the earth and to my greatest rain that make me fertile while growing up. He is the real sage i inherited everything about knowledge and wisdom, i can say perfection upon wisdom lay in him. He is well known wherever he reaches and he is ask to speak in his speech you find the two and at the end comes the solution. All knowledge and wisdom that i have been using and will continue to use comes from him mostly talking about history, discovery, politics, adventure and life itself but i won’t also forget my teachers and my boss and mentor @Aduagba Agaka who is now my captain in my ship sailing to island of perfection. Dear dad you fought, fight, fighting and will continue to fight for my success, you agreed in the acceptance of me being a writer, critics, knowledge seeker but don’t want me to be a lawyer but want me to be a freedom fighter.
Hail thee who brought me forth
Trained me the way i never thought
Took me to the entrance of the court
Just for me to know how it worth
You brought me up as a young sage
Not spending the night in the cage
Because many have did in age
Without knowledge they seek in range
Hail thee who quench my thirst
And make it delicious to be taste
It drop signify not to be a waste
Dropping in their midst in time of haste
Live long my sage king
Your soldiers guides not be sting
Your blessings flow from the spring
Which never dry for the melody to sing?
Dedicated to my lovely old sage DAD
You thought me that better late than never which will happen today. I am using this opportunity to say Happy father’s day may they live long to reap the profit of their seeds in goodies
