Tales of Bed _ Merit and Demerit (comic-tragic though)
That Word Bed is a basic and essential
tool in the livelihood of any individual. That is why that philosopher uses the
illustration of “as you led your bed, so you lie on it” to outline the affair
of life. Which is why it’s pertinent to get-in the right track and use your
materials well while building your bed, so to help you sleep comfortable thereafter.
Meanwhile, talking about the benefit
of bed; it can curdle you more than who you think s/he is the one curdled most.
Even in our crying moment it never forsakes us just like people we think will
curdle us till the end. Dear bed, thank you for always being there for us in
good and in bad just like the way God always did for us. As thy say too much of
everything is a disease which made me to understand that such law does not
apply in seeking Gods kingdom. Don’t allowed it usage turn to life disaster.
Isong Imaikop You hear! Referencing Dad. As he always does while coming back
late some days:
Dad: Old Man! Old Man!! Old Man!!!
Me: Snoring…. Zzzzzz
Dad: At the door of my room; Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!
Me: whispering without his notice. Ooooohh!!! This man has
come back late again and be disturbing me. And I answer in my dreams with sluggishness.
Yes, Daddy.
Dad: Report yourself with immediate effect.
Me: Standing up from Bed moving my legs as I’m doing instant
jogging with vibration over my body. As they say “Iyad Esit Okpo Ebot Ikpana
Uyam. Meaning even if a billy goat is angry during price negotiation, it doesn’t
stop the owner-buyer’s transactions. Hence, I move.
Dad: I want you to sit and wait for me while eating.
Me: In my mind. Oh! My goodness, are you for real this man. Not
like I am the one feeding you. Why would this man be disturbing me at this odd
hour of the night? Hmm! Okay.
Dad: In his mind. I need to know if he has eaten. So he asks;
Ama Adie Mkpo? Meaning have you eaten?
Me: With Baritone voice answering; Mma Adia! Meaning Yes, I
have.
Dad: Come let’s eat to affirm if truly I’ve eaten.
Me: Up Nepa!!! Then my little secret was revealed.
Dad May Your Soul Rest On. Being at alert was your lesson
even while on bed which fellows with compassions.
But to me, do I know as natural as I was that I’m under
construction? But compassion was his tools for restoration of his love. As they
say; Beat a child with the RHS while using the LHS to curdle For a Balance
Equation, Mathematicians can relate.
