THE LOST SOUL

You get to a stage in life where nothing matters anymore

The world has molded you into what it wants you to become;

DEPENDENT, UNSTABLE, LOW

UNENTREPRENEURAL, SAD,

THE UNTRUE THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE LIVING THE PERFECT LIFE

THAT JOB YOU THINK YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH

THAT MENTALITY THAT YOU CANNOT DO IT

THAT FEELING OF DOWNCAST

THAT ANGER TOWARDS THE WORLD

A BROKEN SOUL, A PIERCED HEART, A DARK AND COLD EYES, A HEARTLESS MIND, A CORRUPT MIND

A WICKED BEING and the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on.

At this stage nothing matters anymore, you take life as it is

It has eaten you up to the point you feel there is no repair

It has beaten you down, you feel there is no rematch

You’ve been trampled, you feel numb

You’ve been broken, you feel broken

If it were up to you to pull the trigger, you will do before a second thought pops up

You feel the chill……………………..

I wrote this piece yesterday, and it got featured on air a radio station yesterday.

It came out of an angry soul, a depressed young man

I looked at how bad the world has turned out to be, how crazy everything seems to be getting, how the society is heading for doom.

I looked at the captains of this country, world. At some of our leaders who have so far refused to show good examples.

I looked at the teachers of our primary, secondary and tertiary institutions.

I heard a disheartening story of a girl who got caught with her boyfriend in an obscure corner somewhere in school where morals are the other of the day and immorality is not condoned. What sweet words could he have said? Even if you had to do it, why not out of school.

And then I had to reflect upon the so-called fun we think we are having

The balling outs we all engage in, the highness, the low mode, and wonder how far the youths have strayed away.

Someway or the other, we’ll all be faced with a trigger, we can either decide to pull it, or dump it

Pull it and it all ends, dump it and pick yourself back, join the trend towards a better Nigeria

Toward a better world.

And then the presenter ended it with the words “Don’t let your life get to this stage, always remember you are a star.”
