MOMENT OF SILENCE - NYAKNO BENSON

MOMENT OF SILENCE

To all our lost ones

To our lost selves

To our lost time

To our lost resources

To the lost ideas that would have birth amazing success

To the lost time in wrong relationships

To all the online business scheme that took all our money

To all the effort wasted in school studying the opposite of our passion

To all the plans that got shattered by laziness

To our deficient leaders in an underdeveloped country

To all the political promises that were never fulfilled

To the never completed and abandoned projects by our leaders

To all the ladies that lost their dignity because of discontentment

 To all the men that wasted their future pursuing vain fame

To all the strong women who are not feminist but optimist

To all the strong men whose daily bread is from a days job

To all those who committed suicide because they had no reason to live

To all those living with no hope for tomorrow 

To all the abused and rejected

To all who are physically alive but spiritually dead

To all those who fought dangerous diseases and never survived

To those who survive with scars and dents of rejection

To those whose absence makes no difference from presence

To all the dead visions and dreams because of low self esteem

To all those who suffer colour discrimination

To all those who were lied against and jailed to death

To the rejected old parents with witches tag

To the rejected kids on the street with bright futures

To the childhood play that has deformed our today

To all the childhood dreams and pursuit that never and will never come true

To all those who lost their fortune for youthful lust and fun

 To all the people we lost because of our ill lifestyles

To all our social media friends we ignore

To all those who missed their blessings because of pride

For all the time we would have given ourselves but we’re forming busy

To all those without plans for the future

To all those enjoying status quo and comfort zones

To all those blinded by religion and doctrines

To all the skills we learnt and never completed

To all the promises we made and never kept

To all those who lost their jobs and businesses in this pandemic

To all those who will graduate from this home school with nothing

To all those who locked down to fat growth rather than knowledge growth

To everything and to everyone we’ve lost

To everything and everyone we’ll never get back

Pull off your headdresses 

Meditate, reminisce and reflect

Let’s observe a moment of silence
