Nobody is a nobody

Nobody is a Nobody

by Finayon

I’ve discovered that destiny always fetches out
who had been despised by society.
Rejected, refused, and abused by the Elites.
Divinity is a specialist in choosing to elevate
those people the society called ” Nobody.”

I’ve observed that a child who no one wants to identify with,
from nowhere, just stands out
in the families by the hand of divinity.
It’s a mystery beyond human comprehension,
the sovereignty of divinity.

Somebody said, ” Divinity uses Nobody.”
Those who think they are mighty or strong,
are silenced by the sovereign acts of divinity.
You may own a billion-dollar company today,
remember, someone, had the same yesterday, and tomorrow, another will.

So, there’s nothing to brag about.
From dust to dust, we will all go.
The man who was born with a silver spoon is not better than he who was not.
It’s just the mercies of God we all enjoy daily.
You may be in the limelight today; tomorrow will be another’s turn.

The table of life turns.
The table can turn tomorrow.
And most times, it turns on people you least expect to be anything in life.
That is why we all must be humble, achievements regardless.

Humility is everything.
Be good to yourself.
Be good to your neighbor.
No matter what status you attain,
Nobody leaves the earth with their wealth.
All the noise ends here.

The eye-opener is to know that in the world beyond,
everything we did counts.
Sometimes judgement starts here, even now.

A wise man never proves to know….
Wise men want to learn more.
‘cos life never stops teaching.
A wise man is humble.
Respect to all who had gone through trials and never gave up.

Knowledge is on the increase
Wise men keep learning.
Men and women who keep learning last long
on the scene when they make it to the limelight.
Men who had gone from nothing to something dominate and dictate the pace.

People who are untested by life
Get into wealth and become a disgrace to family and society.
Those who had suffered, who know what it takes, who paid the price,
keep good behaviour when they get to the top.
They don’t forget where they are coming from.

Those who paid the price stay careful,
and treat others right, with dignity and respect,
because they know anybody can become somebody anytime….
They don’t look down on anybody,
No, not for position, profession, gender, colour, religion, or race.

So don’t look down on that child, that woman, or that man because of their present circumstance.
Life is like a flowing stream,
“Life goes, life comes.”
Nobody is a nobody.
