I was washing the toilet yesterday when my sister called me to come watch a trending video on X. It’s a video about some people who raised a huge amount of money, five million naira which is equivalent to three thousand and fifty dollar for someone. Two parents, husband and wife cried out for help following the case of their child, Hallelujah who’s suffering from stomach cancer.
They were so lucky that people saved up that huge amount of money despite our economic condition and also with the help of a social media influencer. I guess the influencer started to hear different things from people about the money they contributed so they can help the boy beat cancer.
The social media influencer took to their home and asked them questions to know if the boy has undergone the chemotherapy session but unfortunately, he hasn’t.
It’s very painful and sad that his parents who called themselves pastors collected such huge amount from people only to use it for another purpose and not even take care of their dying son. Are they even parents at all? I was surprised to see that they didn’t take care of the child after the two of them have come outside to cry to the world about their dying son.
Who else can we even trust in this world? I asked myself. Why do people do these things? Why do people lie? This means no one can be trusted. I got angry and irritated by the video and just plugged in my earpiece into my ear to listen to a song that is good enough to calm me down and making sure that it aligns with my mood and what and how people have ruined this world.
I know this isn’t the life we all were promised but this is the way it is going. This is what we have turned the world into. I don’t want to be a part of this mess going on all around the world but it’s tiring to see parents who do not care so much about their child because if they really do, they would have used the money people contributed for them for its exact purpose.
I know I can’t teach you how to live a righteous life. I’m as well trying hard myself to make things right and do things the right way. This isn’t a piece of advise but in the world where everyone tell lies, people take others for granted just because those people love them, even good people have turned to users, I feel you can do so well by being a better person in the lives of everyone. That goes a long way and with time, you will realize that you have started to benefit from it.
Earth song is just the song that goes well with this mood and everything going on in the world but you, you can be a better person and I hope you become one alongside my humble self.
