Aken-bai’s- A Flow of Thoughts
Aken Vivian
Wariebi is an
avid reader
and
writer
and the latter
began more
frequently
since grade
school.
A
graduate
from
both
Rutgers and
Syracuse
Universities,
respectively,
she never left
a book nor a
pen behind. Today, a Poet and Advocate for the
most vulnerable, Ms. Wariebi finds joy in
inspiring and helping others in any positive way
that she can. Some say her Poems speak to their
heart and soul and for Ms. Wariebi life speaks to
her pen. Others describe her writings as life
short stories. No matter how it is felt, Ms.
Wariebi speaks to your heart and soul from hers
and hopes that all can find a little more light
along their journey of life in her work as she has
in her writings. She is originally from Monrovia,
Liberia and currently resides in the USA.
Be God’s Beautiful
This is the land of plenty
Where I live, where I call home
A land of plenty in a far different way
Then my former home
Well, let me tell ya
Both are mine
Both are keepers

As I stand here, I will tell you
I worship God
But let that not be for my glory
So I embrace both of my countries
Praising God in every which way,
Hopefully by example always
So tears fall and laughter doesn’t crawl
I simply pray while opening my ears to
hear God’s call
But it is how you interpret
You the listener, the observer
As for me, that is not my problem
And truly that is how I live with
everybody
Exhibiting the good, the best, not the
ugly from both lands
I believe that is how God would like it
One gave me a foundation
The other where my foundation grew
One where abundance had a different
meaning
One where abundance is defined
differently
But both home to me
None I can deny
Both taught me lessons and still do
Both show me life
In both there is love and shared sacrifice
Hate too, but that isn’t my style
