Your Journey: Itinerary


"I woke up late today, I missed my early morning prayers" He thinks, still, his face faces the ceiling, thinking about things that carry much less weight, taking his time like an extra second is promised.

Clearly, it's been stated for him not to drink, to abstain from such degrading habits, but he does it anyway, he does it to "Fit in" he does it because he will "repent later" like he could see later by the horizon. 

They sit and waste hours talking about others, like they are perfect. "Oh my God, Shannaynay is dating Shanikwa now" they say, as they high-five each other. Like they were perfect, like they wouldn't if they could. 

He finally saw the light, so he doesn't roll with them anymore, they are "sinners" he says. If only he understood, what good is knowledge if you fail to share, if you fail to educate.

It's time to pray, FIFA, 2 minutes left, "it's just two minutes" who gave you two minutes? A guy died in a conference, siting on his chair, after sipping some water.

Let's go to the club they say, you live but once. So if we all die, what? if not our deeds will we remember, I believe we'll all be occupied with thoughts of going to heaven or hell, not thinking "Oh, at least I had fun in the club" None of that.

Most love to dismiss such as "Mr. Preacher man" but no one is preaching, it's just there to save those it can. Never think that you are being judged, all you have to do is: Remember to think, always. We all need constant reminders anyway.

She's looking at the mirror, seconds after she stood up from watching Entertainment TV. "I am fat" she says, so she walks down the narrow corridor, her brother in his room playing First Person Shooters. She walks to the self, pulls the drawer and takes a couple of drugs, "My life is pointless" she says, as she swallows them all, hoping to change to a more "presentable" body.

Life is a journey, and your itinerary is on your hand, it's an open ticket and the plane waits for no one, ready or not, it will take off.

When you die, your so called friends and "family" will fight over your stuff with no shame. Use your head while you still have time.

When u die, those that care will pray for you and move on, many others will come to your funeral to eat free food.

When you die, count how much clothes, money, make-up you will carry to your grave.
