ENJOY LIFE TO YOUR BEST

DID I DESERVE TO DIE?

Hey you! Yea you!
Oh I get it, you simply can’t hear me! You can’t even see me and even worse you don’t have a clue am here! It’s me, the child you’ve just stepped on.
Rather, the pool of dust you spilt over when you cleared the way to carry my mom’s un-recognizable body. Do you realize? I was just turning a year old this Tuesday. I was too small for anything to have remained of me!
I was never to see my birthday - not even for my first year! With my life cut short so early, I can’t help but ask. Would I have been a great person? Would I have been the savior to my people? Would I have seen another land? Would I have been rich?

My existence, would it have assisted someone?
If someone had done his part, or another just said something if you had just stopped my mom from siphoning the oil, would it all have been different?
Would I have been given a chance to dream?
To at least try even if it means that i would fail in life. I can’t help but wonder.
If you had done your part just when you had the chance, what would the story be now?
Maybe it’s the government, maybe it is the people. I hear the debate from the ground where my unrecognized ashes lie. Maybe it was my mom, who made the mistake. But mom loved me so much it can’t be her fault.
Maybe it is the government for giving mom no option but to live in such a place at this very time. Or maybe it is the economy that made everyone suffer such that the villagers continuously siphoned the oil and this day mom thought it was her day – just for once!


Or maybe it was the pipeline, who failed to check the pipe that continuously leaked for so long that mom this day got just greedy enough to join mama John - our Neighbor, a move that killed us all, even john my neighbor’s 3 yr old boy. Maybe all of this was by chance; it was no one’s fault.
Maybe, just maybe!!!!!

Whose fault it is does not matter to me, that much. Why it had to be me is what bothers me most. Why so many had to die at once. I can’t place blames after all I am was less than a year old; I have not enough reasoning capacity to blame anyone. What I think I can say is a lot of maybes. Like maybe I was born at a wrong time, to a wrong mom, in a wrong place, with the wrong neighbors but happened to be sleeping just at the right time on mom’s back!
A day to remember, a past to reckon with
Why did it have to happen? And this way?
Memories burnt away. People, Belongings, some never to be forgotten others never to be remembered.
We can never be more aggrieved and sad than now, never more painful a memory than this can we ever have. We can never convey enough sorries and condolences. The best we can do is mourn together.
Which is why I have nothing to say than,
GOD KNOWS WHY!!!!

I could walk a thousand miles,
Just to see your perfect smile.
My love will always stay pure and clear,
In defending you I do not fear.
Forever and always will we bond,
No matter what may tend
I Will stick with you to the end,
Our hearts and souls will always blend.
While people might think were playing pretend
i will stand to defend
You in my mind and you in my heart,
Nothing can ever break us apart.
I give you surety we’ll never part
Combined as one,
Our life, Our Love, our bond,
Will Live Forever

Life is a tree and we are the components .every component is so important that without it life will never be the same again.none of us is useless and on the same note none of us is everything .we all mean something to each other and whether we like it or not are incorporated into someone elses life .Whether by fate or by will others actionsn affect us .The theory is simply this no one can live alone and still be independent .THIS is why we must live cautiously and sensitively cause you never know who is being affected by your deeds at any time .
