Greetings friends, In today's edition of music inspiration, I will be walking us through this beautiful symphonic track by Cobhams Asuquo, which he released in 2014, titled ordinary people. There are different kinds and categories of people in the world today, some are good, while others are bad. Some has made exploits while bothers has not.
Nonetheless, we keep witnessing how job insecurity, unemployment, natural and synthetic disaster keep intensifying. Consequently, it's either war and threats of war in the west or evidence of kidnapping, governmental infidelity, and embezzlement of public fund from those occupying public positions here in developing countries.
However, I trust that these things and lot more was probably what resonated in the heart of Asuquo eleven years ago to have come up with the melody, ordinary people. I trust there are lots of inspiration that could be grabbed from this lyrics even without much expression.
Personally, I have also posed the question; to what end shall wickedness end in the world? I trust that this has no end because the world operate in a dual mode, where we have it that good and evil works hand in hand.
Down here in my country Nigeria, after checking on the profile of most political fraudsters who syphoned what belong to the masses in the guise of serving the public, I tell myself that eternity wouldn't pardon these men. I'm not against amassing wealth so long as it's made in a decent way, I'm not also living too frugal against exhibiting a demeanor that kicks against the pretty works and provisions of nature.
Consequently, there is a high demand of ordinary people in the world today. Nonetheless, who are ordinary people? From my point of view which I believe was also what ran in the heart of Asuquo when he raised this song, ordinary people are those who are in the tussle for the wellbeing of all, those who wouldn't cheat the poor and fatherless in other to maneuver their properties, those who are stands in the gap mediating and interceding for the less privileged, and those whose right have been denied from them. These are people who love without discrimination and also do the right thing without fear or favor.
On the otherhand, from my exposition and observation of ordinary people, we would understand and also concede to the fact that these category of people are scarce in the world, we may only have them one in a thousand. In other words, it means that ordinary people are naturally in high demand given the bantam number of them that exist.
We need ordinary people, we need men and women who would give themselves for exploit given our ordinary nature. Consequently, from Asuquo's chorus, he said:
And if we have a world of ordinary people
Extraordinary things
Will happen through me and you
This is indeed a rational statement, when we exhibit our ordinary strength, the results become unequivocally and immensely extraordinary which is the nitty-gritty as Asuquo underscored. To further reinforce the extract of this chorus, every strategic ordinary input, leads to extraordinary output anywhere in the world.
In conclusion, the world and humanity at large is in dire demand of ordinary people who will be used for extraordinary work, however, we must make ourselves available for the benefit and good of all. Thank you for going through.
