If I could, I will be optimistically optimistic that I should,
and guess this piece would have had a better and more reassuring title like ‘heaven
is good’. Life is painted in black and white and if you are not careful and
vigilant enough, it just might offer you a couple more stripes. I’ve seen, I’ve
heard and awakened it and above all, I’m pregnant with an ever burning desire
to live it but the day to day hustle and bustle got me stuck in between doing
right and wrong.
Who is to blame for all these misfortune? God created the
world so beautifully and however went on to create man in His own image but we
chose to eat the forbidden apple, leaving the shawarma to burn. Now, there’s
nothing ‘Eden’ about our gardens anymore, what we have are just flowers
surrounding our drive way with not even a single fruit to pluck. So I ask
again, who let the dame snake in?
Well, I guess we should have been more conscious of the
creepy creeping creature and gather up some boiled eggs and throw them all over
the place, hoping it chokes to death. And Eve they blame for all the infelicity
but I say Adam must have already been thinking of owning a surname as ‘Sandler’
and that’s why he decided to eat the dame fruit. But then, I guess it’s a little too late for
regrets and pointing accusing fingers because the remaining four actually
points back at us so why don’t we stand up to do something to make a difference
individually to the life of the man next door.
As a matter of fact, I’m really baffled by a couple of
stuffs and only hope someone out there might have the right answers. You know,
we all ate the fruit and instantly gained our sight and became wise so why can’t
some solve a simple arithmetic. And also on the other hand, we were made to
understand that Adam and Eve knew they were naked and rushed to cover
themselves up with some leaves immediately they ate the fruit so why do we
still find some ladies out there walking about the streets naked all in the
name of a fashion trend, I guess they must have eaten the leaves and not the
apple itself.
Crazy right, that’s what I thought, but then I wouldn’t allow
that derail me as I’ve got my eyes locked on the head of the nail and with
these words I’ll be hammering into us the essence of today’s inspiration and
hope I reach out to a soul or two. And
with that said, allow me to quickly make a wish list in my head and hope with
that I’m able to relate to you all some of my concerns and maybe they just
might become yours too and together we can make a change and make the world a
better place to live.
You know, I hate to slap the taste out of anyone’s mouth but
if I could, I would have the president of this beloved country of mine get back
in his uniform and rule again as a military leader, reintroducing the ‘War
Against Indiscipline” that was first introduced in 1984 and have those so
called untouchables locked behind bars and their stupid legacies can rot in
hell for all I care. They are nothing but a total disgrace to this country and
everything we stand for. People fight to cast in their vote so that they and
their children can have a better life but it’s their private jets that are
landing and their containers taking turns at the sea pot and yet they expect us
to keep our mouth shut.
Well, I don’t know about you but my voice must be heard
because it hurts to see an elderly man who must have served the country all
those long years in service, still mounting the gates at our local stores and
neighborhoods, when provisions should have been made to enrich them for the
rest of their lives. Our mothers doing petty jobs just to survive and there we
are cruising Lincolns and Bentleys, cursing our heritage. It’s an unforgivable
abomination to suffer so much for a child who grows up to forget us and I pray
that wouldn’t be our portion. If I could, I would have our fathers and mothers
take trips to the Bahamas and we all can return back to the farm to cultivate a
better tomorrow. If I could, I would stop piracy so that our hard working musicians,
actors and film makers can begin to enjoy the fruit of their labor and
royalties payed to them for their outstanding work.
Nigeria is fast taking on the world, what are you doing to
contribute your own quota? Are you involved in some internet scam and
destroying the image of this glorious country? Well, it takes only a while for
time to catch up with you and when it does, you’re sure to vomit every pounds
and dollars you reaped a fellow human off or you can as well right now just
follow my lead and choose to stay clean. We’ve all made some wrong choices at
some point in our lives but how long do we intend to keep acting ignorant when
we know the truth. My brothers and sisters, if I could, I would bring back our
girls and bring back the glorious days when the world was afraid to get toe to
toe with our senior national football team, what about you?
