Motivations on grades you put forth

oludare Joshua

Maybe it is not by your will.

Or maybe it doesn't turn out as per your wish.

Maybe it is by what you read.

Or maybe it is about what is decreed.

Maybe it suits your expectations

Or maybe it switches by your  aspiration.

Maybe it is because you had sleepless night.

Or maybe it is even not by your might.

Maybe it is because of tutorials and trials.

Or maybe how you get captivated by handouts.

Maybe it is because you were serious enough.

Or maybe your habit of reading is worse.

Maybe you were counted among the lucky ones.

Or maybe you just have all it takes to be the one,

With the best of the grades among your mates.

Maybe your motives leaves you out of choice.

Or maybe you were really not being serious

Because you are an accident scientist who wants to be a thespian.

 

 

 

Now, if you are here to stay.

It's advisable, while the sun shines, to make hay.

Mayhaps, the result is bad for you.

Or mayhaps,  the result is just pronounced good.

But your look already gave the proof.

Same way everyone has done their best .

Whichever way the result comes, all is well.

You have really done well yes!

Put the doubts to the bed.

Pray, readmost importantly play too.

This is not the end for me and truly not for you.

Certainly not all of us are born with a silver spoon.

 

 

As you play by the grades, please plan for your way.

Nigeria, today might not just need your grades.

Unemployment is on the rise if you will use your brain.

Engage in petty stuffs be it just a trade.

 

 

It is better to start now because now is the best.

Try get things done perhaps during the break.

Try learn some new skills.

Before you later turn the other cheek.

Nigeria is so fucked up indeed.

A first class holder yet, roaming about on the street.

Countless time I weep.

Oh lord, when will things be refixed?

Please, please learn some skills and I wish you knew,

Tomorrow will take care of itself but today is just one of the clues.

Our future lies in whatever of now that we do.

Try get good grades and try learn sweet skills.

That can sustain you prior or after NYSC....
