UGLY PARADISE






Just like that, garden of eden has been turned inside out. Who thought the once haven will be  made a hazard? It makes me so sad. Here I was, thinking innocent souls don't deserve to be here but somehow, they are here because  they have no other better place to go.
Want to know  a jaw dropping fact? These souls are the ones who turned this haven into a hazard and have the guts to complain about their discomfort and safety.
Yes! Just like that we've made a place that was once more beautiful than we could ever imagine, a kingdom of filth. Our clean waterbodies now  have a colour I can't even tell, due to  numerous disgusting things we have proudly and comfortably  put in,because we live in the present and don't care what happens in future.
How can trees which provides oxygen! Oxygen!
Wait, not any mere gas but OXYGEN! Be cut down without replacement? These same trees protect soil from erosion and provide shade. Hm! How can we not think of the future? How can we not see what our paradise is turning into? I think of this and get low-spirited.
Our once beautiful surroundings now polluted with plastics and waste, despite the availability dustbins around and/or in various homes all because  of a certain attitude and where that was learnt or adopted remains a mystery to me. Obviously, this attitude hunts us but I'm surprised not much has been learnt from it.
I didn't live to enjoy life in this paradise before all this happened but I won't sit and adapt to these changes. I want that paradise we have abandoned and I know you do too so why don't we get it back? Let's do what's right and take on our old positive attitude. And until we do all that, future generations, I'm sorry.

ARE WE THERE YET?

We crave for prosperity ,gender  equality ,freedom ,justice ,green pastures. We talk about each with  strong  force and anger ,but our attitude towards bringing all to reality is lackadaisical. Why is that so?. Are we waiting for someone to work on it for us? We haven't  reached our goals yet ,why have we relaxed? People still suffer ,others die because they don't have enough resources to survive and its now like we don't care anymore. We are comfortable with the current happenings because we want to be. We are just settling  for less. This is not the Africa I learnt about growing up. I know Africans wouldn't give up without a fight but here is the case nothing  similar  is being thought of. The fact that some leaders do not even believe in their people  and some people not  believing  in their leaders saddens my heart. What happened  to unity? What happened  to individual  prosperity?.Why is the rate of poverty ...

LITTLE DROPS OF HEAVEN

Clearly, there is heaven on earth. You want to know how I know? Well, there are times you feel alone, times you do something great without getting an applause, times you help better the lives of others and they end up being ungrateful, times you win by the skin of your teeth, yet you don't value your efforts. We obviously allow ourselves to feel that way because we expect too much. We were placed on earth for a purpose, so, we should do our best with happiness and pleasure. You know that great feeling you get when you do something you are into, or something that influences someone or something positively? yes! That feeling. I call it little drops of heaven. It doesn't come as a result of a comment or an applause or the number of people around you. You trigger that feeling with no external factors. Imagine you do something you love everyday, Imagine you work towards archiving something you long to posses, each day. Just imagine, have You?....little drops of heaven. Wel...

A PIECE OF BLACK

 I don’t know about other colors, but I know there should be a piece of black in all of us, just a piece. Without it, many people will suffer, others will starve, some might even die. Well, black here refers to all our negative attitudes. Yes! Our negative attitudes, and one of them is a piece, selfishness. We are drowning with people we are supposed to save, dying with people we are supposed to heal and crying with people we are supposed to cheer because we do not have a piece of black at that point. We are to first lay a good foundation for ourselves and later make ourselves better in order to help others reach their goals. Just like in an operating room, there are no guests or visitors allowed because the patient is going through transformation. If a house you are in catches fire to an extent, you find means of getting out then, you go for help for anyone in there, but if you try to save everyone at that point, chances are, you are all not going to make it. There are s...
