A RICH MAN IN A POOR VILLAGE by Chidiebere Okoroji Alexander

(FOR YOU Literary Collection)

The obnoxious use of the word RICH especially when attached to a MAN makes one confused. That callousness in man's making! Those despotic and egoistic prowesses— Manufactured to mare the very good nature of few. My comprehensive analysis of a self inflicted pains laboured for a man whose actions are influenced by pity.


With this believes, you find despondence as a corresponding effect to the outlined and pragmatic narrative that place one man above another. A disease have to spread for its epidemic structure to overtake its occurrence nature. This saying can land one to hell. This saying will never ring a bell but is well! One good man with pure hearts is as rich as a rich man in a poor village who will never help the dying, the sick, the starving and the jobless in the village. These rich men are pricelessly useless and their hearts as though regarded by many, as a heart of gold— that's when publication becomes the people's way of expressing fear and anger instead of pouring it out, they engage in the aforementioned statements of praising the latter. Such profanity built on insane regards for societal values even when they languished in strength and words because of the unavailability of common needs such as clean and free water, street lights, empowerments and other social assistance from this over praised empty-minded rich men. A Village will be a home for few who have decide to accept their fate and fare on what's available to them.

When our consciousness awaken and we see these people as we see ourselves, helplessly! We will start regarding everyone as same. The world won't fall if we decide to overlook some certain rich people and go about our business as if they don't exist just like they too will not notice our existence. From the way I see things, Riches or wealth doesn't make anyone important, is just a gesture that place one monetarily nothing less and nothing more. If rich men had good hearts, most villages will be a Safe Haven, but my guess is different. We can't say these words for sure, we've been deceived to think in that line and keep those thoughts abreast but in the end, those thoughts are falsely placed to make us believe these people are pertinent to us. This is just a "make believe". We should rather go about our lives just like they go about theirs and everyone will be fine without having to think one is greater and more intelligent than the other in fact, most rich men I have seen are so dull, although, becoming rich requires smartness for sure, but some of them lacks common sense and can't decipher between good from bad, right from wrong, fair from just or otherwise.

I wrote and published a story titled "My Village is now a Town". This story tells about how a community of villages stood firm and took their future by their hands and built their community by themselves without the regards of the rich among them cos, men of noble and social class aren't noble in behaviour. They are mere figure who only class themselves because of the wealth attached to their names. There's nothing so special or specific about these people, they are and will be what they are. I have strong believe that people's orientation will take a grasp on life's purpose and meaning and value to things and this will help most of us find sanity somewhere else instead of hoping on Rich men to save the day!

This piece of write-up is rather a protest on the subject matter which states that, If people depends so much on rich men because they aren't financially sufficient — that cant really change their status or put them in a better state of mind. Any kind and honest rich man must remember home and help build a better community before coming out. But when the case is different, one should question the wealth. I can't write more on this, the question is directed to The Rich man in a Poor Village!
