Down the memory lane of my secondary education
I go wandering once again
Back to the hills that made me a gentleman
I go to learn once again under the tutelage of Kwabotwe
At the start of the gentle steep hills of Kwabotwe
Stands the beautiful magnificent edifice built by
The MOBA ‘83’ year group known to us as the PATO
In front of this formidable edifice stands Atlas,
The endowed and proportioned Greek titan carrying
The whole world on his shoulders with all his muscles strained to its limit
Deeply imprinted and engraved on my mind
Is the boy Jesus carrying the entire world in the palms of His cute hand
Relaxed and smiling with no minutest muscle strained
The first part of these two scenarios depicts how humanity struggles through
Life with all the fears of the past, problems of the present and anxieties of the future
Humanity carries loads of problems with all his/her muscles strained like the Greek titan Atlas
Whereas the savior of the world promises that
Come unto me all you that are weary and heavy laden
And I will give you rest…because my yoke is light
Philippians 4:6-7 summarizes it best that
We should take all our anxieties and fears to Him in prayer and supplication and thanksgiving
And he will in turn grant us the peace which surpasses all human understanding
Today instead of carrying all the problems of this world on your feeble shoulders
I recommend you carry them to Jesus who is willing
To always exchange his light load with yours for no fee
