THE ART OF WAR

Tearing my skins apart

Ripping my bones about

Shattering our faces

With spores and loop holes

That is the Art of War

We are with LIFE

The Art of War is always designed beautifully. Think about all Wars that you have heard off, it is not only done shooting each other, and bombing each other till the last person or a country surrenders. An Art of War is designed with great technicality but all this beauty in it is all in deceit.

You see, when we were growing up in our different primary, at secondary and tertiary institutions, I must say that we knew nothing then. Some of us took our Education with passion while we others was just doing it with levity. I don't know if they were aware of what Life will dictate.

Concerning our parents then, when they held us in counsel, beating us and discipline us, we didn't know that life's lessons will be harder. And sometimes, we look at ourselves while putting on a worn out jeans, a shirt that sun has blasted it's colors with unmatched pair of bathroom slippers. Then we realise and exclaim "Wow! I didn't know this was what daddy and mummy were drilling down my ears". Ah! Just look at you now living in regrets. Well, I will say it is never too late for you, be it a lady and a guy.

You see, this Nigeria of today isn't as it is back in the days. Or should I even say the world at large has taken many step in retrogression.. But my sister and my brother, wetin Naija dey tell una be say " you better take life serious once you realise that you are responsible or else, Life  will show you how to take things serious at a latter time.

Most of us enter different groups that adds no value  to us. Cultism, Prostitution, Clubs every day of the week, fraudulent acts, drugs, beer parlours and addiction to sex just to mention a few.. There is something I’ve come to realise in life, money that you didn't get with your hard working attitude, can never lead to prosperity. Life will eventually make you sweat to get it.

I’m just worried for the next generation. If life can be this hard for our own generation. Well, the next generation are the ones that I am directing this letter to.

If you are realise  that things are hard to lay hands on, you had better sit up, take things serious and concentrate on getting good grades in school. But if you are still gyrating all over, I bet you, Mr life itself will teach you in an harsh manner.
