THE BEST IN US.

I am a candle that lights up at my brightest. But slowly you see me melt, you see me die, but you dont put the fire off. You let me burn because you thought it was beautiful..to watch me die. And I might have gone, the lone candle that was left melt in awe. It was probably my best shot as the only sweet smelling and bright candle in the market. You not only remembered me in darkness but also burnt me down. Am gone..gone forever. Probably you will get the same but not with the same finish. I was wonderfully made. And glowed with success till the last glow. I illuminated the room like a sharp idea in a geniuses mind. Geniuses who make it high up in life. Not necessarily through their secular success but experiences and also self belief. Not everyone stepped in an educational set up but they did superbly well in their lives. Life experiences and trials educate us much...more than the tycoons kids who get dropped each glorious morning from their benzes to world class schools. Apart from the books that teach them history and the current world, they actually dont know how the world is out there...how angels can be beasts and beasts as angels..it all depends on how you define the two anyway. The small girl on the street close to the sewage smelling gutter selling plantains knows more than a teenage young man in his late twenties. She atleast appreciates that from the money she gets she toils and attends afternoon classes..nice blend I would think. As lucky as she is, she already knows what life is all about and still emerges best in class. The teachers and trainers never associated themselves with her..what would they get from her and her parents anyway. Bitter, isnt it? Not to my surprise she performs best in her finals and all leading firms are on their toes with their bestdeal scholarships. Her future is made. She is the type who will actually build orphanages and training centres at an affordable fee for everyone in the society. Her experiences must have taught her alot. While the benz young man thinks of getting a silver ring for her temporary young girlfriend, she creates projects and initiatives for fellow youth. She is the type our society needs. Some people are just misinformed, they watch American hiphop, movies, songs and dances and before we know it they start sagging pants, daydreaming and acting like one. They forget that the American you saw is not a real American. The real American boy and girl works day and night to make sure America remains the superpower. Yet you there yapping about premier league, political sides and tribal sides. Really??? Thats the much we can do to build our society. Our fathers failed us..why not us? Its high time we all wake up to reality. Its not about your individual self, at the end of the day your society still stands a chance. We are all same..our thinking and attitude towards life should not differentiate us. Change starts with us. The countrys success starts from individuals success. Leave a legacy that you will be remembered for. We cannot all get nobels but we can still award them to ourselves, that at last you did something worth the sweat. Its not too late..though the school structure helps alot but our socialization is key to our transformation. Like a smile, best of characters are an epidemic and bad ones too..Make the best out of the choices you make!
