Unfolding

                The mirror of time reflected to me the thorns of the summer of 2014. The moment when the thorn dug deep into the skin choking the heart to weep in sorrow was at its pinnacle. The silence that haunts the ears and the words that pierced through the soul. Memory is kind to give me the story again as it celebrates its year old wound and scar. But the man of today saw it as a fitting scene to happen as the ride between the couple gets more intense. Never a day did this beautiful melancholic relic pass through my thoughts with a silent stride. I bear the impact of the apple falling from the branches.                 My mind brought me to the spectre of the war where I lay wounded after the dagger had struck me to the bone. The music had its abrupt stop when I was listening to the melody. The quick pause caused my ear to resonate in dismay, longing still for the song to play.

Investing money to have a title that creates all the more class distinctions among humans and moreso, in terms of salary and fluidity in promotions has led a slight derogatory remark on the word itself philosophy.(If I got it right, sophistry is the accurate word for it) The case is different to those who will pursue a doctorate degree which is purely philosop hy because in this educational system, we have become irrelevant to the demand of the times, especially that the world needs someone to cut steel, assemble pipes and spice up pork chops. We have become totally irrelevant in a technologically oriented world. The queen of all sciences is pushed into a corner where the industry needs us as a number in a TOR. As a queen, we sit flat on our bottoms while the world pleases us, but monarchy now appears as passe and we shall be dethroned soon. Our expertise (as how our title def
