While you're sleeping, others are not, they're hard at work, planning, trying to find ways to use the resources they have to make a better living. They’re planning, trying to discover all different ways to get your attention, to make you focus on them instead of yourself and everything else that matters.
They plan ways to make sure that the wealth of the country circulate among themselves while you suffer in your silence. They leak minister’s sex videos, while paying attention to that, Chinese open police stations of their own in your country. They show you R1.8 billion loss on VBS bank, labeling it as the worst crime to ever happen while hiding 100 times that of Steinhoff’s looting. They let you access everything with your phone on Daily sun, while they force you to subscribe to read about things that really matter on the Times knowing exactly that only few would do that.
They even plan how they can make you sleep more, find ways to make your sleeping habits even more comfortable, giving you reasons to lie down more often by designing beds that are so comfortable you feel like boo held you the entire night even when he/she’s not there. They go as far as making pills to help you get there when you find sleep hard to come by. They even make very warm blankets to keep you in bed a little longer especially when your laziness takes control of you, but don't be fooled, they don't love you. They’re probably creating a conducive environment for themselves with no new competitors. They keep you in bed to stop you from forming part of their world, the world of hustlers and innovators.
You work so hard, 8 hours a day or more, however, while you work, others are not. They're researching, trying to find ways to utilize your money, to make it work for them while making you think they're doing it for you.
While you’re busy searching for answers, studying all the books you can find, others are not. They're out there to make it difficult for you to use the knowledge you acquired over the years. They're busy hiding all the answers you're searching for. They told us to go to school, just when we thought we got that under control, they demand experience to support the theory they taught us.
They create apprentices, learnerships, internships, and any other less paying jobs to delay you to reach their level. Don’t be fooled, they don’t do all that because they love you. It’s just their strategy to underpay you, to get you in debt before you can make it there. To delay you for another couple of years before you can afford to have money that will allow you to think of other ways to grow.
They tell you where to buy, how to buy, they even bring the store to your doorstep, but barely give you more ways to make money sitting in the comfort of your home if it won’t benefit them because to them you’re just a consumer. You don’t deserve to know more than taking your money and give it to them while they make you think you’re doing a great thing.
Poor remain poor while the rich are getting richer because they do everything in their power to keep you in one position. They create countless TV channels to keep you in front of the TV all day long. Even on the go you focus on your TV ignoring so many things, by simply converting your own smartphone into a “PVR in your pocket”. When was the last time you made a conversation with a stranger? When was the last time you learned something new from the stranger? barely. But you know where to buy everything because your TV tells you, but barely suggest you should start your own thing.
I don’t know about you, but until I get to fly my own boat, park my plane in my front yard, You ain’t gonna catch me sleeping ever again. For once in my life, I wanna keep my eyes on the clouds, instead of keeping them on the road because these supercars ain’t doing it for me anymore. I’m simply attracted to the stars, I can’t help, nor stop wondering how my garden would be when I let them shine facing up like crops in it, when I own them all
Freedom means I can sit on the table and negotiate with whoever irrespective of the skin colour, but one day freedom will be reminding them that they’re not from around here, reminding them that they are responsible for the struggles we went through when I watch them beg for jobs as we do
Maybe I’m simply attracted to things that are beyond my level reach but I know for a fact “Impossible is nothing”
“It’s all about one day at a time, one day at a time”
