The Foolish World

THE FOOLISH WORLD

By Chimamkpam Onyenezi

The Igbos have a saying, "Uwa wu otu mbia"

It means that, in this world, there is just one life

That is why we must all be cautious of this life

I also say, that this world is truly "Ikpu Wigous"

All I'm saying is that we all really have to focus

After this world we suffer in, there is yet a better one

But going to the better, depends on how you lived in this one

How We Killed The World.... 2

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  ― Martin Luther King Jr.

#We steal from our parents - and even others - then we go and blame God for allowing thieves and armed robbers to plague our cities and roads.

#We cheat on exams and cause problems in the real world because we are unable to apply knowledge that we do not have - then we go and blame God for not preventing unproductivity and the fall of the economy.

#We cheat on our partners and spouses - then we go and blame God for not killing all the sinners so that we would have peace.

#We kill people with insults - slowly and steadily.... demeaning their spirits and torturing their minds - then we go and blame God for letting suffering exist in the world.
