Faith or Fate

Cassava being spread outside

Housefly, having their rally 

Goats and hens doing an hide and seek,

a means to eat

We both want something to eat


But there i am

Being surrounded by flies

Like a police🚓 chase 

I look dirty


I am tired of enduring 

Or should I say suffering?

I just resumed from school 🏫

Happy to meet my parents after 10 months.


Ony arrival,I was hugged🤗

I felt loved, happy again

I was happy within cause papa was gonna purchase a new phone📱 for me

A promise he has made for a long time 

After enduring two second hand phones

One stolen,the second got spoil on my departure from school.👨‍🏫


Well at home,I felt treated like the prodigal son

Happy to be home again

Now my new phone was on my mind 

We did went to purchase it

Though we spent and hour or more 

To pick a place to purchase a phone at low prices

I was ashamed but I kept mute

After purchasing it,only to find out that It was purchased by loan or a money 💵from someone dad is close to.


It dawned on me how my life is

Dad Is getting older,so is Mum

And my younger ones

I must find a means to make money 

I am tired of enduring.


My parents are civil servants 

Yeah I do understand 

But what exactly is the problem,

I mean not having money

Is it the government,us,the job we choose

Our mindset,or what the fick I happening

Now I understand why some youths are into fraud

Yeah,I do cause maybe they have endured,suffered and endured


Back at school there is a business that I am doing 

Network marketing and online business 

It was cool,though I have been avoiding it for months 

But I had no other options since there was no 💰 

It was affecting my education 

But I pitied my dad and my self cause my CGPA is hecking low even when I didn't join the business,1st semester 

What will my CGPA for second semester be when I am into it.


If we had money will I complain 

There are lots of my mate at uni,that have their own lady bikes,some their business,some their own money,some rich parents

While some have none!,I mean none!!

I have been always thinking about papa's early rush to offic

e and mum's early rush to cook and prepare for her school.
