Like a Curse

1. When someone has been

Leading in a career for long,

And God becomes tired with the

Person he will raise new person to

2. Replace the person. However, this

Raised person to replace the one time

Champion would be faced with many

Obstacles from the person who has

3. Been ruling and leading in the society.

He may send hire assassins to eliminate him

If those people were unsuccessful in their

Mission on the person, the person would

4. Employ other means to get the person

Stop the person from rising. And as this

Person does this, the emerging star

Would find means of dodging that,

5. Keeping himself alive and while

Doing this, he would not be stable,

He would be running here and there

While he is doing this, things would become

6. Difficult for the person and then

People would start thinking that the

Person is under some spells or curse

Because life would be miserable for the person.

7. In another instance when new things

Are being introduced into the community

Not many people would approve the thing,

Some people would be afraid of using the thing

8. However, there are people who would

Still want to try the usage of the new thing.

While trying the use of the new thing,

People would be looking at the person

9. Suspiciously, and may not want to

Relate with the person in what she or he

Is doing. When people start moving away

From the person, things would become

10. Hard and tense for the person

Such that he would start thinking that

He may be under some forms of curse

And demonic spell which hinder his

11. Progress in life. If he does not

Have strong determination during this time

When people eschewed him, and he was

Without a dime, he would become depressed

12. And may be thinking of committing suicide

If people are not close to him to be given

Him words of encouragement to maintain

His estate and keep believing in what he

13. Believes on and himself. At this

Moment, the naïve, the ignorant of the

Way that the person is taken would

Consider it that the person is under a curse.

14. There was a person who having

Traveled to another island discovered

Something new in the island, and he was

Determined to bring the new innovation

15. Into their island. On getting to their

Island the people did not appreciate the

New innovation which he has brought

Into the island. Some attach it to the

16. Work of the devil, some say it is

What the gods have spoken about that

Would lead to destroying the world

Thus, ensuring that they tell people not

17. To follow the path of the person

For he has deviated from the normal

Standards, ways of living and steps of

Their fore parents. This man was

18. Greatly disturbed by this. Even his

Wife who supposed to believe in him when

Others do not believe in him did not believe

In him she follows the paths of others

19. And would repeatedly tell her husband to

Renounce and jettison what he has brought

Into the island since the people have said

They neither appreciate nor want such

20. Innovation in their midst. The man

Talked to his wife gently and asks her

To believe in him even if others cannot

Believe in him for he believes that

21. Like the ancient adage in the land

That, “it is the ignited fire in the house

That would eventually roast to dryness

The wilderness animals”. But his wife

22. Would not listen to him, no thanks

To what the leaderships of the town have

Commanded all the people of the town

To be doing for the man, for they have

23. Said he is an erring indigene of the

Land whom people should distance themselves

From, no one should have dealings with him,

Anyone who have dealings with him and he

24. Is occupying a position within the island

Would be removed from that position and

Ostracized from among them. This rule thence

Make those who have the minds of trying to join

25. The man flee him. Things became difficult for

Him because he was pioneering what the people

Of the island do not want. Worst aspect is his wife

Who distanced herself from her lover.

26. People started looking at him like a cursed one

Because they do not believe in what he has

Brought into the community. It would take

Years before they start appreciating his works.
