One of the creepy ways to generate excessive attention, creating a buzz and making waves in the dog-eat-dog world of ours today is death. Arriving at the door steps of known and unknown individuals is your ‘gist’, even though not written (yet), you already have a full album comprising of good and untalkable acts you engaged in while you were alive. Who would stand for you to analyze facts from fabrications, truths from falsehood?
It is a scary moments that allows one way communication as your stories are tabled. Sadly, it’ll be among both intellectual and simple-minded, your peers and associates, your favorites person(s) and even those you hate talking to about yourself. In their garments of speech freedom, many with disparaging comments, with few compliments, they recollects memories and moments with you.
Arguable, I believed all those who had seen faults and mistakes alone in others must be unblemished, faultless and exemplary. Definitely, they were created too perfect that they make no mistakes. Unless you fall in that category, I see no reasons why you must think you have a judgement to pass on others.
It baffles me a lot to see how humans action contradicts their beliefs and common knowledge about death. They will tell you, “everybody will die one day” like they meant it, but all is tongue-in-cheek. Of course i blame non as the creation of the world is supplementary to forgettery which exist to ease pains and unbundle agony.
Which is why, when you still exist, don’t live your life to please others, your happiness is a top most priority. What you are scared of being called, the comments you hate and the opinions of others will still be passed on you when you will have no power to speak out or defend yourself. So don’t live a life on what people will say when you are gone, after all most of them are forgetful, live a life on what life will say about you.
Letter To The Ghost
Dear corpse, I writes to inform you of unprecedented events that unfolded following your demise. Immediately your soul left, the announcement was made, and the respect you valued most was taken away immediately.
They advance to bury you below the ground or preserve you, all to ensure you don’t stay for too long in their midst so you don’t become smelly. Now, you become a burden everyone tries to get rid of.
Now you do not matters to the world again, someone else has to take charge and ensure you are gone completely. If you are lucky, you will be granted a day honor after so many years you’ve lived, otherwise, you passed on silently and unacknowledged.
After some moment of sadness, clarity returns and the fog is lifted, your memories fade away bit by bit, inch by inch, gradually and thoroughly. And now you exist only on a frame pinned against the wall (if lucky).
Your years of hard work, properties gathered in sweat and dust, a lone battle of success, will be scattered without sweat, among others.
It is unfortunate how the system was designed, maybe it is for deep thinkers to understand and realized the vanity upon vanity, the pointless and waste of space of how we take life. But better still, you might want to make a change on how you live again, in your next life (possibly)
The immediate past President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari (late), your have lived, achieved, made history, and leave just like everyone of us will join you one day. I seek for you, your creator’s
Rest on………
