SELF MADE? A Poem By Mztrchukwu by MztrChukwu(m): 10:35pm On Oct 13, 2015
Man speaks:

"All I got is the gift of my hustle,
The sweet fruit of my muscle
I owe nobody nothing
He who preach giving, aint hustled nothing.

Yea, I paid my dues in sweat
Worked it all while Clothed in thick dirt,
The same drops of sweat watered my garden of toil
Harvest came, I gathered a haul

Though, I was born with a silver spoon
mum had to sell it to see me through school
'cos Dad fought till he breathed his last
I'm reminded when I think of Heroes past

Life from then became every man for himself
We hustled as kids till the clock struck twelve
Mum couldn't do much with half a dozen mouths to feed
Barely could she afford the next day's meal

Still, I never gave up!

Inspired by the splendour and grandeur of the wealthy
I swore to myself to get money in plenty
While my peers busied themselves with cunts
I stayed focus on getting all my wants

Traded my fun moments in the struggle for wealth
Got so much cash in return, I could pay off death
Can we say this was God's blessings?
Or rather this was a product of life's lessons

A true application of common sense
Got me seeing the world in God's lens
I'm self made! Man-Made Man!
Lone member of the One Man Clan

I'm the Adam in my garden of eden
Surrounded by plenty and more to spend
The genesis of my exodus from poverty
Started when man pikin almost chop potty

Sour memories of the hustler's pain
Justifies my living the life of cain
Enough! Bleep being the Abel
Who send me when I dey smell?

I ain't giving shit! Sharing is a curse
Nobody deserves a dime off my purse
I fought my way to the top
Now you say you wan come chop?

Una papa!

While you rot in your misery,
Ponder my wealth as a mystery
"He's greedy" you keep whispering
I keep smiling at treasures piled to the ceiling

E no fit pain me"


God responds:

" Oh! Fool! I command you Stop there!
None of these shall my holy ears hear!
Enough blasphemy lest I strike thee in anger!
It is the MOST HIGH whom you SLANDER!

It was my earth, you toiled in sweat
The very sweat you claim to have sourced your wealth
Yet! You seem to easily forget
I gave you pores to sweat!

How you have forgotten, I gave you hands to work!
And the very lips you've tainted with vain talk
Though You have spoken in blasphemy,
Your words can't deny me my Glory

I AM GOD! I MADE YOU
Never was there a man-made man
I formed you in your mother's womb
It is on my very ground you stand!

You were born with nothing
Except the thin layer of flesh I wrapped your soul in
And after you're dead from bluffing
You'd leave the same flesh to rot in your coffin

Your brothers suffered while you lived in plenty
Your pets grew fat while their pots stayed empty
Refrain now! Else your soul be demanded of you
In my wisdom, I created hell for ingrates like you

I blessed you to be a blessing!
I prospered you to show mercy
Every dime you earned was for the benefit of many
Yet you withheld and never gave any.

How dare you!

You called it all a product of life's lessons
Yet you, couldn't see it all in the light of my mercies
You forgot your toil was to teach you humility
The pain you felt was meant to teach you pity

My unfathomable Wisdom planned it from the start
Your journey from birth to right where you're at
Every experience you had was to glorify my name
Your testimony was meant to put the devil to shame

Repent now, else you shall feel my wrath
In a blink, I could take everything you've got
Remember!
not a penny you've saved
Shall escort you to the grave

Quit being greedy!
Share to the needy!
Obey my command
And you shall eat even more of the land

For every measure you give,
even more shall you receive
Multiplied are the days you shall live
Thus saith the Lord, I AM HE THAT GIVETH!
