I remember
New Years Day 2010.
It was a quiet and happy one.
I was surrounded by family in Austin, TX.
My nephew was sad
We couldn't get to stay the entire week.
We arrived 3 days earlier.
We slept late.
I woke up early.
Went to Mass.
And they joined me soon after.
I remember that quite vividly.
Here I am.
2020.
A decade later.
Still not able to keep down a job.
Or a man.
By my lonesome.
Living in Nigeria.
Surrounded by stupidity.
And archaic technology, people and processes.
That's what my life is now.
This is my life now.
What is it about this life
We cannot seem to catch a break.
We pray. We work hard. If possible.
We would work. Harder.
But we cannot. Do not seem.
To catch a break.
It's so...discouraging.
Troubling.
Our void space is filled with despair.
Really wanted to have a chirpy,
Inspirational
Believe in yourself
And life's possibilities
Blog post to start off 2020.
Such a cool sounding name, isn't it?
The Year 2020.
I love the way it sounds.
Would never have imagined it would be marred
By my Unemployment
Yet again.
How do we get out of this?
This wheel
Keeps going round and round
Get some, lose some
Always on a search
This time I don't have either
Personal. Professional.
None.
But believe in yourself, kids.
Your fate may be different.
