Pattern

When I entered the game house,the manner they sat, the subdued atmosphere, the way they were behaving as if there was burial on not world cup, I knew some forces were ahead of me to the hub before I got there.

"Do they asked us not to charge our wares yet?" I inquired of a fellow that busied himself with his phone you can easily see his mind isn't in it. "I wouldn't know, I just came" his retort without looking my way. I just asked, it's old story with me, the game house and the shadow group that love my dark face so much. We have history dating back to years on the same issue.

"You can ask those running here" he said, indicating their counter with his head. I went to the guy I knew is the second in control there and asked. "Am I free to charge my gadgets?" He eyed me and said no, not yet. But I knew what he meant for it's line I am yet to know if they knew they were over using . I had my eyes on four hours it takes most gadgets to charge, so I don't want to wait it out with them and that my decision paid off.

It's the tail end of June and I recalled the last time I saw light in my vicinity was first week of June and today is the 26th so I knew why I was in darkness for two plus weeks even though I kept them to myself. I wasn't asking about the light being off or time to charge being right for I knew the WHY behind both. I knew why thousands were thrown into darkness, I was that reason. It wasn't the first time or the tenth such is happening, it's a quarterly incident that dates back to 2022.

You know, the first time such happened, I never knew I worth that much in the estimation of some people with such influence. That was the first time I was deemed important enough for such to be my fate. When those halting events to make me go away from somewhere started in 2022 or late '21, I was discovering I had the wrong idea of myself. I was like "Why would some go to such a length to put a frown on my face?"

You know that thing some call equality can be a mighty baked lie that needs cooling some humans parades around and allow to swing like pendulum. Don't believe anyone hawking such. You know, even if something is straight like a rod or cigarette, you will see some that can't just get it round their crook heads putting one dark label on it talking second hand and first hand smoke when they see beside rulers there is nothing straighter than a cigarette. Humans are that way. These people will twist things, toil with that thing like a bad mechanic that believes everything needs tampering with it till they crush it and get it crooked. That is the phase this my community and those running it are in or found themselves in since I came back from far East Asia half a decade ago. They kept toiling with everything that is straight just to tell me how odd I am as if I am a wrong species of human on the wrong planet or something.

Incredible? Yeah that might be the right word there. Odd is how they view me here and went their way to impress it on me through these kinds of actions directed my way. I just can't imagine causing such emotional pain to thousands of young men that started two months back planning and putting their houses in order for this world cup just to get one over an odd man. Fucked are their heads for sure. Imagine throwing thousands into darkness to get to one odd fellow.

What then is the difference between these guys that reasons this way to those terrorists we read of that load their belts full of explosives and enter a plane running after one man in a plane with two hundred other faces they did not know? Queer souls controlling events this century and it's funny in a hard way realizing it's the elites with stand by generators that emit nothing like noise or fumes in their mansions that give this kind of orders to the power generating and distribution firms. So heart wrenching and acidic even knowing it's the brain this nation is run on.

I went there to charge my gadget because my old mother is getting worked up without light for weeks and she needed her toy to talk to people and she had been squabbling with herself, her spirit, me and her occasional attack of this wheezing cough is what I believe is as result of absence of light for close to three weeks now. Besides that, I don't mind. I have found a way of using scorn as a weapon against such behavior. You recall that saying from one fellow his name escaped me. "If you have anything you believe you can't do without, come let us know and we will come to let you know how you can get along without it" what other education do one need?

So, I didn't even wait to hear the rest of the manager's retort, I went straight to the store where one pays to charge any chargeables if there is no light. Four gadgets, all dead, costing 900 to bring all back to live in four hours. I gave the fellow my things, got issued a number that got plastered on the face of all you came with and I went straight back to that same game house, knowing them from previous encounters and they conformed to my estimation of them. Knew once I turn my back that someone will peep to see if I am gone and then restore rights and light to everyone inside there. So in my mind, it's where I planned to go and spend those four hours watching the highlights with eyes on the hours.

The first indicator that I was right was some passerby casting eyes into that game room even before I started hearing weaker commentaries. I put my head inside there, the two 20 inch plasma TVs that were off before were alive and world cup games on, the charging spot fully occupied. I must have stayed over five hours without realizing it.

Over here, cult acts are something else. Some will just troop in, into one establishment and start giving them orders as if they don't operate under any regulations or don't have leaders inside there.

"It must be really hard getting little things and reflex like tasks accomplished in your place" one fellow I was complaining to said last year. Of course it is. Some leaders are behaving as if they are luddites. A kind of neantherderian gene refuses to let them go.

Like everything we humans are used to, we believe like addicts joked on narcotics and alcohol that we can't go a week or a month without such things only for our helplessness to excavate something more important in us than those denied things you never knew are inside you.

Things I have overtime come to realize is a heart matter. The mindset you go to anything, the attention you give to it will determine how hard it will hit you. You will feel like wreck on the first day, muttering obscenities to self and everything including to your ancestors, the second will still be so but every thing negative reduced to manageable level, and if you one of those kinds that get themselves occupied with scribbling and rereading, you get yourself inured from any negative effect from such violations even you rant occasionally for fun of it.

Like those previous occasional light off incidents that affect the whole vicinity, I knew that my going there today would trigger light being restored to my base once nothing was wrong with it and it came to pass.

You know there is this thing invigorating about one getting his predictions right on many and it came to happen as predicted. Makes one feel as if he wakes up with God the father from the same bed, makes one feel so superior that what was meant as suffering turns into education.

Do I believe that if I had not gone to that game house to charge my things that they would not have restored light the same day? My answer to that is capital YES and your questioning is ignorance at work. It's been a pattern for years now.

It's been light for the better part of the day ever since. The leaders here are kinds you can easily ambush if that is your aim, so type that even the blind can read them with less effort from miles.
