A Lament: We Will Get Ourselves There

When a child is born , some are born rich and some poor. That’s a lie nobody owns nothing when they are birthed. Despite being born in two different families both the children possess clutched fists. They say inside those fists are wanders.

People have heard this several times and if l proceed I will be preaching a no different message.

I am not going to preach , I am not good at that.

I am just going to tell the truth and the truth is that everyday a child is born in different places .

It might be inside a car , wheelbarrow , private hospital , public hospital , under different circumstances. Each without a choice but to embrace such circumstances.

What doesn’t kill you gives you strength,

I believe that they are all born with power ,

Power to defy adversity and create beauty of their own ,

They say that all that is well ends well,

All which begins good ends perfectly ,

Who proved that ?

Who said the future of a soul is defined by the riches of the fores ,

I believe that every child is a manifestation of where their parents couldn’t be,

But you have heard this before , if I proceed I will be preaching  again which is something I am bad at ,

I cannot promise anyone that all will be well ,

The future remains right where it should be ,

In your hands ,

Some mould it as soon as they open their fists ,

Some throw it away ,

For some we are history in creation ,

For some they are creating mysteries ,

Never pin the blame on those who brought you up the day you fail ,

Especially if they tried to put you up there ,

Like wise never tell a rich person that it was bound to be easy ,

When they succeed ,

Only God knows the effort they placed.

However I am aware and not ignorant to the fact that life will never be fair for us of ordinary backgrounds,

 Especially when they are trying to break into higher places,

If the clothes don’t fit they say it is not meant to be ,

But only God knows that it is all we have ,

The society is not right ,

All the time it remains ,

Up for up ,

Down for down ,

But still the heart yearns,

To be right at the top ,

And tell them it took not only my believers but my doubters as well ,

To make it up here ,

The truth remains aloof ,

Odds can define you ,

But it only takes those who are courageous enough to defy
