In my little perspective, I use to describe life as a market one comes to buy or sell his commudity which when it’s closure time struck, everybody will go back to where he comes from. The following day, if you are absent (in the market) few will ask of you, next day, fewer than first day, and so it’ll keep going till a day which no one again will ask of you.
Question: what meaning does that questions ask of you are? Nothing in my view, this is also my teacher’s view toward the term HISTORY. He writes a poem manifesting his thought titled: “What Does It Matter”
The poem:
Let it be known by all
You are without a name
You came into the world
With no proper appellation
No clear reference point
What does it matter?
Approbation or opprobrium
To you all is brutally vain
Of what value is history?
To your decomposing corpse
To your soul devoid of faith
That is why I flatly ask
What does it matter to you?
-Mustapha Muhd
My fellow good people. Think of what leaving history matter to you. Once again, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
