DETERMINED FREEDOM

Still fresh in our minds like it happened yesterday, those words whispered into our ears by our late Father.

"Michael and John, fight for freedom even if it's going to take the last drop of your blood, don't stop until you find your freedom"

Here we are, looking so dirty like a set of pigs that just finished romancing their clean bodies inside a wet clay

Now we are left here wandering on the street, where we are heading is anybody's guess

We would have loved to confront Death and ask why did he do that? why did he take away the man which our lives depend on?

These are set of questions ringing in our minds like a national anthem as we journey on in life

Michael and John sat down very close to a Mango tree after walking aimlessly on the surface of the earth, their walk looks like they have covered half of the universe, it's an expression of how tired they were

Michael couldn't contain his feelings, all he ended up doing was to break down in tears like a man who just lost the love of his life

John was there, acting as John the Baptist, I must admit this, he was a courageous man, he moved closer to Michael and encouraged him with a blow delivered to his cheeks

Does that sound like an encouragement, a blow dished out to someone's cheeks🤣🤣🤣?

Hey brother, be strong, you wouldn't achieve a thing by shedding crocodile tears, those tears on your eyes wouldn't take you anywhere, you see brother, the only encouragement we need is ourselves

No one is out there to brace us up or help us in fighting for our freedom, it will all be done by ourselves

If we don't raise up our hands, how would we be noticed?

If we don't stand up, how do you think, we will be counted, blood!

Honestly, those words like that of a warrior really did some miracles to the brain of Michael, I guess Michael's brain became a born again brain

Michael's tears suddenly welcome laughter, imagine tears mixed with waves of laughter all on the countenance of Michael and brightly expressed to John

John's eyes too suddenly turned to red with a ray of laughter sparkling around his cheeks

Two brothers stood up gallantly like soldiers with tears mixed with laughter on their dirty faces and gave each other a firm hug

It looks like they have suddenly forgotten they are nobody, especially those living words left by their father before surrendering his soul to the realm of the dead " fight for your freedom, even if takes your last drop blood"

Truth be told, they didn't forget, they came to realize that in gaining their freedom, they need to leave the ugly memories of the past behind and take those lessons from the past in fighting for what they desire to be in future

Hey pal, there is no one out there who is ready to shoulder all your responsibilities, the only person who can help you is you

I LOVE YOU
