(Rhythm And Poetry) I can'ever do, I can'ever breathe, I can'ever stand without you Lord, You're my life, you're my heart, You're my start, you're my end, You're my crown, you're my gain, You're my all Lord, I was doomed to hell But you saved me, With your blood I was cleansed, You redeemed me, From the snares of my foe, You freed me, In the shadows of death, God...you guard me, What will I do? What will I say? What will I plan? What will I gain? What will I pray? What will I claim? 'Cos without you I'm nothin'   The Plain Stylus,  © KAYODE AYOMIDE TIMILEHIN

     Grrrng! a noise echoed through the room as a snoozed alarm rang for the umpteenth time. Bode jerked up suddenly from his bed as if stung by a bee. The time read 8:25 am, testifying to his serious lateness. Today, he commences his first MBBS exam (a professional exam which qualifies medical students to proceed to the clinical aspect of their studies). He rushed down to bathe which he finished in no later than ten minutes. He then set to prepare for the exam which has been scheduled for 9 am in the morning taking his time to dress up neatly and smartly. He nonchalantly strapped on his wristwatch and discovered that he has about twenty minutes left to the exam time. 'There's still more time', he consoled himself before setting out into the streets.       As he hit the asphalt, he discovered the neighborhood being silent as the grave yard with no signs of a bike coming any sooner. Reality dawned on him that he would unavoidably be late for the exam wh...

      Being a medical student is faced with diverse academic challenges and responsibilities, most of which are tackled with the level of stuff in the cerebrum; the Intelligence Quotient and the company of friends, the crux of which are the superomedials .       According to the anatomical terms of relationship and comparison, superomedial is a combined term which defines a structure which is nearer to the vertex and to the median plane. Its relation to the medical lifestyle is hilarious yet sensible. Being a rookie in medical school, a lecturer once said in an introductory class that 'If by the time you check the score board and you discover that your pals are far below you, leave them during study time and find friends who are superior and can help you'. A fellow class mate however shocked me with the fact that its actually 'superomedial' friends.       Who are the superomedials?       Medicine and Surgery, as noble and ...

      I wandered far away,   Nonetheless a reprobate,   The Trinity all at bay,   Typified an hypocrite,   I had gone AWOL,   Enslaved an incarnate.   HE found me then displaced,   Restored me all in place,   The life I once lived,   In reckless abandon,   HE offered to me,   A great asunder,   Paid a price of none,   But released it all to me.   HE was slapped, bruised,   Pierced and killed,   All because of me,   And HE died, rose,   Gone to Heaven,   All to gain for me.

Through the pin drop silence, Incessant beeps were being heard from bedside monitor machines, The operating lamp above strongly illuminating the room with its powerful beams, Air conditioners working tirelessly to ventilate the windowless room. A couple of surgeons seen round a bed, An IV drip on a frame dangling above their heads, Tactically severing and suturing, With cold steel in their hands, Their acute vision invariably alert, And perfectly honed manus in action. On the patient they worked, Doing their best to restore the dignity of man, To the initial constitution and psyche, In the bowels of the Homo sapien... The Plain Stylus,  © KAYODE AYOMIDE TIMILEHIN

Petite and tiny, Cute yet small, Lovely and glossy, Is the light little pen. Tiny as it is, Small but mighty is the perfect definition,  For in it, It holds the power, To life and death, To riches and poverty, To command and obedience. The absolute delight of a poet it is, To freely express volumes, Of experiences and imaginations, To regents and the masses.                 The Plain Stylus, KAT.
