Solomon Grundy

The title of the article shouldn't look strange to us at all cos it's a popular nursery rhyme back then when I was in nursery school. I was just sitting down quietly when the song popped up in my head and I had to deliberate on it as to why it happened and finally, I could deduct a powerful meaning from it and that's what I am about to do now.

The nursery rhyme goes thus;

"Solomon Grundy",

"Born on a Monday",

"Christened on Tuesday",

"Married on Wednesday",

"Took ill on Thursday",

"Grew worse on Friday",

"Died on Saturday",

" Buried on Sunday",

"That was the end of Solomon Grundy".

What I could deduct from this was that everything that happened to Solomon Grundy is the typical mirror of what life is.

We all have our birth date and that's to say that there was a day we were born into this world. The day we cried why are we in this sinful world? The day your parent and family were happy that their family is blessed with a bouncing baby boy/ girl. This is exactly the way Solomon Grundy was born too.

After we are being born, a naming ceremony was being done to give us the name we are bearing today. Solomon was christened on Tuesday and so are we too, it was a day we were given names in the Christian way, the Muslims also has what they called theirs.

After being christened, he started living as we do now and he got married. Many of us are also married just like Solomon and that's what is expected of us all. Although many choose not to get married and that's their choice, there's no crime in that but the majority of people that I know will surely get married just like Solomon Grundy.

After getting married, he fell sick and the sickness got serious and he died as a result of that. I never pray for any one of us to fall sick but some people died as a result of sickness too. What I want us all to know from this is that we all are going to die. We might not fall sick before we die, it might be a peaceful death but death is sure for everyone.

All that happened in the life of Solomon is just a representative of how life is, it's death that will end every one of us and we should be praised for that. Like I have said earlier that I would only write about what I was able to deduct from the poem and that's what I have written. How life is and that's how it's.

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate your effort in doing that. Don't forget to thumb it up if you like what you read, thanks in advance.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.
