THE LOUD AND EMPTY

12-01-2017

There are those who stick two fingers in the air like Pa Awolowo but don't understand the rudiments of politics.

There are those who wear skinny pants and burn paper like Felá but can't put themselves in the line of fire.

There are those who try to sound eloquent like Ojukwu but don't have the gonads to start a bush fire not to talk of starting a war.

There are those who look and swag like Barry but whose high sounding words are weightless.

Whatever you do, whoever you choose to admire and have as your sinoatrial node, be convinced that what/ who isn't an original cannot be the original even if the genes rhyme.

Some folks want you to live in this age with outdated thoughts, they want you to grub on grudges decades or centuries old and want you to die for their own ambitions. They may claim to have marched with MLK but may have never really known the man. They want you to fight your mother's battles and carry on your back perpetually like a baby the hurts and hate she may have actually let go.

If you follow Fela, MLK, Zik, Adaka Boro, Barry oko Michelle etc, make sure you actually comprehend what they stood/ stand for but still ensure it's devoid of toxins.

Not everything you read from supposed intellectual sources is solid, don't be easily swayed by anything. Ensure you ask questions and do your own studying.

Do not even take this or anything from me so serious, crosscheck things for yourself and cut down on the hero worship going on in real life and Cyberia.
