Life says I am here from the womb and it says am done in the tomb
Really what a compound of life content where everyone is a human being
Practicing survival of the fittest each day and night
Overcoming ups and downs
Lifting heavy weights like hydraulic jack
Where dos are don’ts and don’ts are dos
Indeed, this is life.
Is it true that everyone knows what to do?
If you don’t know try to
Otherwise no bread will be offered to the lazy
What a bright morning sunshine
Workers go to work; scholars go to schools and everyone to their respective fields
If you don’t belong to one belong to one vital
It’s not me its life!!!!
Failing to work be ready to yield sand
If you don’t attend school get prepared to attend ignorance as your core-course
You break the compound rules you get punished within or prison
You follow you pass vice versa you fall
Today we cry, tomorrow we wipe
Suffer now enjoy tomorrow
That’s what life suggests not me.
Entertaining options are there but look how unfair this is
Only those who have money in abundance are allowed to enjoy
While the low earners only satisfy their basic needs
It’s sad for the poor in this life since they work on hand to mouth basis
And fair to the rich but let’s not be greedy because
Life is life.
