BY GLORIA O’KOYE
War without logic,
Is like planting seeds without knowing,
The seasons in which the seedlings
Will rise and thrive to the heavens.
War strictly on emotions and passion,
Is like showering the seeds
With overwhelming resources
Without strategy.
Too much water, sun and soil
With no calculations can cause
Undetected diseases to destroy
A seed’s crucial foundation.
A society that follows social media justice,
Is doomed when things get real.
Protection warranty behind twitter fingers,
Keyboard warriors,
Would defeat the right to remain silence
During mischief court hearings.
Without teachings and common sense,
Fear tactics will prevail.
If one enters a movement to find love,
To make friends,
Dangers of destruction are at hand.
Those will come natural
But can never be promised,
How many organizers fall victim
To the matters of the heart.
They gradually forgotten why they were in
This the first place,
This journey can be lonely throughout.
An elder and veteran with years of
Political warfare once told the emerging
Youth,
This war is not for the faint of heart.
You must use logic,
Must use your head.
The heart,
Is the reason to push
But it can never lead without the brain
And a plan.
Or be prepared to lose the war in a
Quick pace,
This life has no space for childish games.
Remember the people need to win!
