Great Season Of Reasons

GREAT SEASON OF REASONS

By; Nnamuchi Perpetua Ezinne


I have a confession to make...
I've been living with it for so long a time...

It wouldn't make sense if i keep it...
Cos a dime won't be the best; but the truth be told...

While i was growing up...
The whole experience during embers were blends of rainbows and bows...

Rainbows as a child, i had no responsibilities causing me sleepless nights...

I remembered how dad took me to the hairstylist where i slept overnight; to ensure i had a sweet bob cornrow look...

As tiny as i was, i could tell what love was all about...
The dresses, the shoes, the jewelries, the good and nice native meals we all ate smiling and chatting together both in the cool of the day and in the moonlight; made great sense...

The experiences are still like rainbows in my sweet memory bank...

Even if we had bread and fish to eat; we ate with gladness and great contentment...

Even if we had water to drink; we drank with grand style and with the spicy combination of happiness... and it didn't make us feel less...


But...why? Why?
Why the bows?
Why does everything keep changing for the worst?

Why will children be missing in the neighborhood as this time draws closer?

Why will adult be armed in the street to be tagged robbers in this season?

Why will everyone get too busy with the quest of having it all in just a blink without proper plans?

Why will you do odd things to make it happen; just to please people back at home and be left with freaky nightmares to deal with for the end of your lifetime...

It's true time is ticking...
It's true time waits for no man...
It's true we all have 24hours respectively...
It's true the moon and sun will shine for all to see...

But...wait a sec...
It's not too good when your shine is truly not shine but filled with loops of darkness before you faked out as shine....

And my confession is this...

Everyone should be happy no matter how your life maybe this festive season...

Be contented...

Pluck out greed from your being and replace it with love…

You must not be tagged robber to please people back there at home...

You must not be part of those that make children disappear in our neighborhood...

But...
You must be part of the community that will make love stay and never disappear...

You must always appear as a peace agent...

You must reason along with the season for good and not for odd...

Let's make this season worth it by redeeming the time...

By keeping in mind what the season is all about- which is love

Yeah, money flows in...
Money flows out...
And money will definitely never end...

So, replace money with love and happiness will know no bound this season...

Merry Christmas...
It's your great season with reasons to live and be glad in it.....

Stay blessed...
