Dear Life

Dear Life,

What does it take for one to be on the good side with you? Is it not enough that you have taken so much already? Each day I wake up and think to myself,”What have I done wrong?” but sadly I do not have the answer. I look at the way people get stressed over the money thing. Why did you have to make it so? People struggle just to find a meal for a day, not knowing what tomorrow will bring, is a rich thought, many don’t  want to find out.

A woman, who ought to be a pillar of the family and a respected person, is forced to sell herself, just because she can’t bare the site of her beloved children go hungry… just for a simple meal! You have made most of us hopeless, lacking the will to face another day, because we have nothing left to live for. Tell us what you want so that we may give it to you.

Why is it you have blessed some of us, yet we can’t appreciate you. We have almost everything, yet we still yearn for more. Why is it so? Guess only you have the answer to that. We have it all, yet we squander it all on useless things, each time failing to realize the difference we might make. Just a little may go a long way.

That difference everyone has been singing about, but has never been seen, then that must be our punishment. We are still waiting for the one who will open our eyes and finally see, see what the likes of Mahatma Gandhi saw when he refused earthly possessions for spiritual fulfilment, Mother Teresa, chose to live with the miserable, sick and dying cause they needed help. Sadly they aren't here to share with us… blind we shall remain.

What’s with our political leaders? Yes we vote them in, every term in hopes of a better life, better infrastructure, more jobs, less crime. But it remains just that…hope. All they do best is get fatter, I bet to fry better once they visit the fiery pits of hell, bicker like people in a market place without a purpose. When will they stop and realize that we are dying…our hopes fading…our country slowly being divided into two tribes… the rich and the poor.

But when all that happens, we still have the strength to endure and persevere for we have an ever present source of strength…GOD. We believe he has greater plans for us…today…tomorrow or after 30years… HE knows what’s best for us, even though we are too blind to see. Our prayers to HIM, is our own way of talking to our father, our helper, our strength.

That’s why dear life, I will always be ready…no matter what you throw my way, I see that as a hurdle and prepare myself to jump over it as high as I can. So whether we like it or hate it…we have to endure you and learn to live with you.
