Selected Fables

By Kelvin Eloho

A FOOL AND A WISE MAN

A wise man, walking alone was being bothered by a fool throwing stones at his head. Turning to face him, he said: "My dear chap, well thrown!  Please accept these few francs. You've worked hard enough to get more than mere thanks. Every effort deserves it's reward.
But see that man over there? He can afford more than I can. Present him with some stones: they'll earn a good wage. "
Lured by the bait, the stupid man ran off to repeat the outrage on the other worthy citizen. This time he wasn't paid in money for his stones.  Up rushed servants of the other wealthy man; and seized him and thrashed him and broke all his bones.
In the courts of kings there are pests like this, devoid of sense: they'll make their master laugh at your expense. To silence their cackle, should you hand out rough punishment? Maybe you're not strong enough. Better persuade them to attack somebody else, who can more than pay them back.

Jean De LA Fontaine (1621 - 1695)

The True Light

By Kelvin Eloho
Never use the word to interpret your experiences, the word is more real than your experiences. Judges 6:12-16, the angel called Gideon a mighty man of valour, even though in verse 15 he complained about his state but God saw him mighty. It's our responsibility to make our life conform with God's word. There's an inheritance for us (Col 1:12). He picked you up & qualified you. As a child of God, you're not in bondage. You were "made" free never to return to bondage. You're the deliverer (the Savior), you don't need no deliverance.  Obadiah  1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's. The New creation is Superior to Satan, the common man is subject. We're now in the kingdom of his dear son, here you have all things . Refuse to use a different light to look at yourself. God made you in his class. Don't let another light deceive you. You could see a white material as r...

Impossible's possible

By Kelvin Eloho
Impossible is temporary. Impossible is a dare. Impossible is a boundary. Impossible is a limit. Impossible is just a level. And it's just a word. Impossible's waiting to be proven wrong. Impossible respects the limit breaker Impossible is gonna be the past It's a matter of who's gonna make it past Impossible's today, possible's gonna be tomorrow. Between Impossible and possible's just time. Besides, the word says I'm possible.

The next inventor

By Kelvin Eloho
Though I love facts, I go for fiction. Cos we're to bring it to verity. The fictions of the past now the reality of the present. Burdened minds brought those dreams to reality.  I want to create your tomorrow. The mind of an inventor. The shadows of the future all around us. How can this be? Time shall tell. But we shall not wait for time. We've got to device.  Burden your minds, bring to reality fiction. Bring brass tacks animations of life. Be the next inventor.
