For When He Can Read by JigsawKillah(m): 3:15pm On Aug 23, 2020 |
if i passed you these words myself i did it passing you a near empty glass with beer droplets running riot at the bottom led by the tilting of your young fingers guide these droplets into your mouth like a mound of your favourite dish for a peer do i consider you to be different generations, but same times know my father passed these to me but in different terms, mere words a term i later came to regret for it birthed my very first disregard though no fault of his, my father was smart and when he did speak was it in parables in coded words that needed no hacking like hiding a password in plain sight in simpler terms will i pass this down in more simpler terms do i charge you to pass down same orientations for not teaching was how we stopped learning whatever you do in life, my good son there are a billions of rules governing it but one fundamental rule should you not skip endeavour to enjoy yourself let not the wailings of sad people nor the happy shouts of successful peers wear you down - treat all the same as you will a pinch of salt for doing more has been known to be the grassroots of distress no, the hurts will come still your only duty as a man is to be strong do not cower to feminine admonitions or succumb to external yearnings if you feel the need to soak garri in the presence of rice, do you a lesson i never understood on time again, due to no fault of my father's for i was a slow learner, i was told an opinion i have gone on to rubbish son, know your numbers for while you must enjoy life numbers will take you everywhere around the world, with respect for it's numbers that will ensure you chase your dreams and stay happy it's not a priority, but essential nonetheless lesser value than water, greater than opinions for poor people don't have opinions just thoughts trickled down from the rich irrespective of how i end up, i guarantee you your daddy is rich in his own way conformation is an abomination unless it is to achieve a goal or interest your hardest test may this be be rest assured you will be fine what you do never sell yourself short, dear child you are a Lord of all things demand for what's yours, for wiser men have said closed mouths starve lastly, do not stop reading for so doing will you be self aware know your deity, know your history know your rights, know yourself ©Jigs Lionheart 2 Likes 1 Share |
