Food for thought
To be frank you get to shape your destiny with the events that happen in your life. Wishes are for those who are lazy. I know that there is a big difference between wishes and prayers been faithful and being lucky. Do you really have an idea of what the future holds and would you prepare enough to make it come to reality. Great men have walked on the surface of earth and some are still yet to be born. No matter how great you are just know there is some who will definitely use the height of your achievements as his footstool.
What you become doesn't actually have a formula or a particular dimension i have heard of men who chose their paths regardless of what their families forced them to be. Do you know it is not easy being what you want to be, people want to see you fail so they can tell you " I told you so". Let the spectators keep watching at times the show doesn't end on time especially if it is the kind that is filled with intrigues and suspense. Do you think a truck pusher never wished to be your president, a doctor or a lawyer. Every man has aspiration and is motivated by something. Every man has a price some prices are way off the extreme.
Some men are pushed to the path that later leads them to greatness, some are so lucky that they don't ever wake up from their dreams if they happen to be living it. Some are forced to become the mentor you want to have, some live the simplest lives that inspire generations to come. Who do you call when you speak of these saints that carved their names on the eternal tree that never dies. Do you think you can ever get to that podium can you ever make up for the things. Your mentor can be someone's dad or mum what happened to yours. Do you feel they failed to lure you to walking in their parts. I have never been afraid to live my life how I want it or say the things I feel should be said at that moment.
Talks about the future scare kids that never want to grow old, I am talking of people who are still living their second childhood. Some play away their youth and try to make it up when they become adults. Am from a country where people are carried away by the things of now, most of them never want to leave behind a legacy. Live now and let the future unfold itself. What happened to the dreams Enahoro, Zik, Awo and Oba ovoramen had to a country free from interference. Correct me if am wrong I wish we were honest and never took the shortcut to run away from the problems we are facing.
My people don't be deceived by people you think mean you well, at the end they only turn you to their vessels should I say robots because the quickest way to get to mind control is using little things they cant afford. Food means a lot to a hungry man and a token seems like a fortune to a pauper. We cant always be equal but ask yourself what do you want to live for, if we have been warring would we still be existing. I cant hurt you because am like you am black and I am a Nigerian. We should all swallow this simple truth that we never wanted to be one. It has happened and we should learn to blend together and carry each other. I want to be your brother and I want to eat from the plate you eat from, share a cup to drink water.
We must face reality and see there is a slim chance of another World War on its way i just pray it has nothing to do with religion. Let us move on and fight to keep the peace we all pray for. You and I are the ones responsible if the government has failed you and I there are so many ways to air out your pains and fight the oppressors and keep praying. In the end nobody will live forever, you will die one day and join the ones you have killed to live. Till we wake up from our slumber and become united and face the dragon we have feed to keep us safe, the same little lizard has grown into a monster that we all are scared of. I want to live and die as a Nigerian I was born this way and am proud of her even if she makes me want to run away sometimes. Violence only begets violence peace is hard to find but we can always keep searching and holding on.
