Haaaaaaa ...... people are going through something sha.

It feels as if a pain wind just decided to blow through and is not sparing anyone. What exactly is going on?

You turn to the right, people are bleeding pain, you turn to the left people are sweating desolation, you stay put in the middle trying to make sense of the insanity, people stare on empty ....

What is wrong with this picture when we need to be seizing each day to savour and live through.

Why are people cradling despondenc­y? Is it the breakdown in the fabric of societal values that is the cause or what are we missing here...Many got religion but forgot God in the process, they puff the talk but alas everything else got lost in transit, they decided to toy with the Maker forgetting that a Creator can run roughshod over his created if he chooses to.

Many got moral outrage forgetting that no one is spick and span on the morality train but for grace that we are not consumed. They are the ones who keep tabs on who is sleeping with who (minding other people’s business is their favourite pastime) forgetting by default to remove the boulder in their own eyes before wrestling the speck in the eye of another.

Many have developed a complex so superior you wonder where they have their brains hid, because it can’t be working surely if any feel herself/himself better than the other, I have seen money befriend and applause heightened only to see both head for the door at the drop of a hat, how does anyone befriend fame and fortune, not realising that they can never be loyal friends, but ignore the human beings that mean so much to the Potter?

Arrogance and pride are worn on like skin, gone are the days when humility and simplicity endears, a little achievemen­t and people masturbate in public, what is wrong with us?

On a good day what you’ll find is a market place gathering of whose inanity is bigger because surely sense does not boast where the average cannot eat.

What about this season is making us lose everything that makes us human, we walk on undaunted as many tug at our collective conscience begging for crumbs, we shrug them off as their smell is putrid we claim.

People, seriously we need to stop this right now, and right here !!!!!! we are fast losing the plot, from the yachts to the private jets to the sprawling mansions, to the designer rave and the pepper them gang chant. People are dying, no money, no food, no shelter, no medicals and we continue to tease them with our affluence, resetting their values increasing the stench.

And then when their curses reach many, we wonder whom we offended, stop ...... how about the neighbour you just walked past indifferen­t, there is an adage that says that kindness finds her mate. We may think we don’t need anyone, but it’s not always in the material people, one day some day you will need a Good Samaritan or your child might, what then, when karma decides to enslave you.

We need a reset, seriously, on the things that matter, the things that endure, surely we are aware of seedtime and harvest. Na wetin you plant you go reap oooo.
