PARDON FOR POOR PERFORMANCES

PARDON FOR POOR PERFORMANCES

I am so sorry for the things I should know
that I didn't know.
I am so sorry for where I should go
that I didn't go.
I am so sorry for what I should do
that I didn't do.
I am so sorry for failure to richly grow
the way I should grow.

Since I failed to know
as much is required of me to know;
I was unable to flow
like I should flow.

I know too well that I am not the only one who suffers for my inadequacies. Status/state and manifestation of every person affects several others both far and near.

In view of this;
I humbly request entire human race and particularly, those whom at some points my shortcomings had cost something to forgive me.
I am deeply remorseful for not being there when I should or not living up to expectation in anyway.

I seek pardon for responsibilities I didn't take and potentials I left dormant in me.
I seek pardon for opportunities I didn't maximise and resources I had wasted.
I seek pardon for pleasant possibilities I didn't activate and unnecessary stuffs I made possible.
I seek pardon for pledges I didn't fulfil and promises I compromised.
I seek pardon for trials/temptations I surrendered to and relationships I made to face the brunt of my lapses.
I seek pardon for his, her, their and your shortcomings/failure from whoever is affected.
I seek pardon for solutions I didn't provide and lives I didn't give a divine touch.
I seek pardon for massive success yet to be recorded at convincing everyone everywhere that no evil is necessary.

Perhaps;
9/11 2001 bombing of WTC and Pentagon,
21 September 2013 Kenya Westgate Shopping Mall attack,
14/15 April 2014 Abduction of 276 Chibok school girls in Nigeria,
and several terrorist operations across the world wouldn't have taken place.

Perhaps;
the world wouldn't have experienced series of attack, mutilation and killing of people by people for ritual purposes in countries where such evil practices occur.

Perhaps,
corruption wouldn't have been a stronghold in many nations where it is already a norm.
 
How I wish hand of time could be turned back to save innocent souls brutalised/lost to diverse evils across the world.
How I wish I could invent a device built to automatically avert negative occurrences everywhere.
How I wish before tsunami came to China or hurricane katrina visited some parts of USA or drought occurred in East Africa I could do something to prevent such disasters.
How I wish I could provide a pill that when taken, people will automatically lose appetite for wrong/evil deeds and empower them to do only what is right.

If all of that are/seem impossible, I believe there is more we can do to bless our world provided we are willing.

Oh, yes!
I am ready,
I need access,
I crave for  divine abilities.

Let Holy Spirit groan for a quickening of my/our brain.
Let there be an angel's touch from the Throne of grace.
Let there be pardon for our collective failures at making the world the very best it should be.
Let the sun rise to shine on us and brightens our intelligence.
Let the rain fall to refresh our soul for all around excellence to make us more efficient, firmly established and always in control - diligently inspiring and empowering every people to make life and living the very best it should be.

Then, all of us (of every race, origin, language, background, gender, class, nation, political affiliation and faith) can play together in the sun or rain and go to sleep with closed eyes without fear of the other.

After winning this pardon for our poor performances;
May we all take initiatives to exceed the legacies of John Bardeen (inventor of transistor), Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of telephone), Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of World Wide Web), Orville & Wilbur Wright (Co inventors of first aeroplane), Mary Anderson (Windshield Wiper), Thomas Edison, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, Benson Idahosa, Myles Munroe, Obafemi Awolowo and the likes at adding value to human life everywhere.
