ABUSED FREEDOM


Without you Dad, I might have become a child lost inside the cycle of this corrupt world

Dad told me before he dropped his last breath that not every music is worthy of being danced to

He said, no matter how melodious the beat is, be more concerned about the lyrics of the music

It wouldn't be out of place, to call him my "updated antivirus"

He taught me to remain focused on what is right, no matter how tempted life pushes me to rush out

The world has truly been taken over by darkness and many are still thinking there is light

When death took you, I thought, you are no more

Sincerely, it didn't take me a year to realize, you are so much here with me, as always

Your teachings have always been my reminder, guiding me from abusing my freedom

When you were alive, your teachings were seen  as a punishment but your departure changed my ugly idea and I knew, it was indeed a raw discipline, guiding me from misusing my freedom


Where are the teachings of the old? Where did they go?

We are now in a world, where every child is left to spread their wings as they wish on the surface of the sky without manuals to follow

Who shut down the door of discipline?

Where are the words on the lips of our forefathers?

Who got them replaced?

Who threw away that sermon-like words?

Who threw them away deep down the lagoon?

I saw Peter panting after he has tirelessly searched for those ancient words on the ancient mountain of his forefathers

Sad to say, those words have been replaced with beautifully laced tattoos

They called it madness, we call it Fashion

How did those ancient words suddenly disappear before our very eyes and we couldn't do a thing to stop it?

Who robbed us of our inheritance and seduced us into the total acceptance of their concepts?

Who threw away our morals and values?

No wonder, we are here abusing our freedom because there is no manual to be followed

The course of justice is no longer in safe hands because it has been murdered

Youths couldn't hold their freedom, all they ended up doing is abusing it

Freedom for justice has been replaced with corruption

To worsen it, only a few are well trained, the rest have already been corrupted before they reached the stage of maturity

Of course, you can't give what you don't have

Immoral acts are now being hidden under the umbrella of social fun

The course of civilization did come to pave ways for advancement in every phase of our lives

But what happened to our moral and cultures, are they all bad?

Another man's culture didn't only mix with ours, it is gradually brushing them out

Freedom earned, shouldn't be abused, it should rather be appreciated and valued

Freedom to fashion shouldn't make you surrender your mind, body, and soul to all the dictates of the fashion world

Where is your culture?

Why do you keep on murdering the culture, it took our forefathers their blood and sweat to erect?

What happened to our languages?

Freedom to the social platform shouldn't turn you to corrupt youths

It should rather equip your brain with the needed resources

Why do we keep abusing our freedom?*

Nothing is absolutely wrong with the freedom to civilization

What happened to our languages?

Freedom to the social platform shouldn't turn you to corrupt youths

It should rather equip your brain with the needed resources

Why do we keep abusing our freedom?*l

Nothing is absolutely wrong with the freedom to civilization

Why is another man's culture turned out to become an idol that is being worshipped?

If this goes on, another man's culture would have totally swept ours away and replace them with theirs

I thought you were meant to be the son of the soil, not a son of the world

Why do we keep abusing our freedom?

There is a limitation to everything in life

Let there be moderation in all that we do

Freedom didn't come to corrupt, it came to set us free

Manualize your ways

I love You
