What Is Your Sign?
Have you ever met any human being
Who does not know their sign of the zodiac?
We all pretend not to believe in astrology
Yet, we all know our astrological signs
What is your sign? We ask each other
Whenever many of us buy newspapers
The first thing we read is the horoscope section
Do the zodiac signs influence our destiny?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
Do the stars above determine our happiness?
Do our birthdates decide our fate on earth?
Then, how come twins born on the same day
Have different destinies and lifestyles?
Do you credit your success to your birthdate?
Or blame your failure on your astrological sign?
People born under the same zodiac sign
Are said to possess similar characteristics
It is also said that our zodiac sign determines
Our compatibility with other fellows
Whether this is true or not, in most cases
We still decide who is or will be our wife, partner
Husband, spouse, soul-mate or companion
If we end up making an erroneous decision
And our relationship end up in a divorce court
Shall we blame astrological incompatibility?
Or blame our shortsightedness and all the stars above
Many believe that astrology can compute probabilities
Therefore, nothing is carved in stone or infallible
All things been equal, it is worth looking into
Enjoy your life, good luck and happy destiny

Are You A Good or A Bad Person?
Everybody likes to be called a good person
All of us will prefer to be labeled a nice human being
What have you done to be called a good person?
What did you do to wear the label a nice human being?
Have you done any favour to anybody today?
Have you assisted somebody this week?
Have you helped anybody this month?
Have you done any good to someone this year?
When last did you give money to the homeless?
When last did you show generosity to a beggar?
When last did you donate to a charity cause?
Have you ever suggested a better way of doing things?
Have you ever given an advice that improved someones life?
Have you ever made a recommendation that saved money?
Have you ever made a suggestion that saved time?
When last did you buy something nice for your parents?
When last did you present a gift to your wife or husband?
Do you have to wait for an anniversary to be generous?
When last did you volunteer for a good cause?
When last did you perform or do something
Nice and pleasant for your neighbours?
Now you ask who are those neighbours?
Your neighbours are your wife, husband, partners,
Sons, daughters, co-workers, friends, associates,
In-laws, parents and those fellows near your house
Are you a good or bad person?
Before you provide a very honest answer
Look at yourself in the mirror
Search your soul and do a self-analysis
Are you a good or bad person?
Now it is time to answer

In Praise Of Teachers
We are all indebted to our teachers
These are the teachers who taught us
all the things we know and do today
Now you ask who are these teachers?
Teachers are the instructors, trainers,
tutors, coaches, lecturers and professors
from the kindergarten to the university
Teachers taught us how to read and write
They explained how to search for the logic
behind every statement and argument
Teachers demonstrated to us in many ways
how to approach problems and solve them
Whenever we make mistakes and commit errors
Teachers always remind us that there is
nothing to be ashamed of because
we are still apprentices and not yet masters
Sometimes, when we are depressed
our teachers are always there to motivate
us with sweet words of encouragement
They taught us that the world we live in
is a planet which rotates and revolves
That on this planet there are two-legged,
four-legged and multi-legged creatures
That human beings belong to the two-legged
species and have many colors and languages
Our teachers taught us that one man can
make a difference in the world we live in
Men like Abraham Lincoln, Mao Tsetung,
Lenin, Mandela, Mohammad Ali and Bill Gates
Our teachers are sources of inspiration
Can we live without teachers? You decide!

Life And Death
It is said that there is a time to be born and a time to die
Many ask who decides how long we live on this earth?
We all know that no human being can live forever
Can we humans prolong our life on earth?
Human beings have the power to make choices in life
The choices we make in life can determine our longevity
Surely, the food we eat can lengthen our lifes span
Eating the right food can enable us to live longer
While eating the wrong food can shorten our lifes span
Occasionally, we are the architect of our own misfortune
A drunk driver who died in a motor accident
has nobody to blame for his or her untimely death
A drug-addict who fainted and died in his or her twenties
can only blame himself or herself for the premature death
Some ponder do our zodiac signs determine our lifes span?
Reality reveals that zodiac signs do not decide our longevity
Historically, people of the same zodiac signs die at various ages
Even twins who arrive on this earth on the same day
Will never depart planet earth on the same day
Few speculate do marital life lengthens or shortens our life?
There are various arguments for the yes and the no
It also depends on the type and kind of partners we have
As well as the quality of life the couples experience
Others ask do where we live determine our longevity?
There are many who die prematurely in some places
because they lack access to superior medical facilities
There are those who experience untimely death
because they live in poor and unhygienic environment
We must recognize that deaths resulting from natural disasters
such as earthquake, hurricane, tornado, tsunami and floods
can be beyond human control irrespective of all emergency planning
Wherever you may be living on this earth, please enjoy your life
Stay happy, contented and think of all the goodness in the world
Julius Babarinsa
