At 40

At 40 A fool at 40 A fool forever We say in Africa This stand so as it is 365days by 40 equal to a lot of Deferents Life stages At 40 Life begins at 40 We also say in Africa That so true when You are of yourself At 40 Life is about a choice Your choice create your world In this life At 40 is just like a number Just how long you spent here It don't make you worst or better Only show more of who you are At 40 A world at 40 So many dreams once You had at young 20s So many accomplishment You once believe you can do Before 40s As life now goes so fast Too many confusion So now at places At 40 still many life's More like no life in them Still hoping wishing dreaming Worst of all working to no Closer achievement At 40 In a government so many trust So we get educated With lots of certificate of identification The world is ours we where told From the young age That a motivation of too many Young dreams Time pass till at 40 Yet we still only but waiting Waiting for the outcome Of all we live to dream and hope for Still in the so called third world Name Africa At 40s we can't avoid to escape The evil Shower of our gangs So we live with out minding What the age say At 40 Age is just a number We also say in Africa On this note All of the above means Be yourself to live your life even At 40

So many lines that I know are true of my own life. But those of the African gangs, what a shame, how repressing it must be to live under their influence/laws. At 40 one should be in control of their own life.

Richard, did you just turned 40? At 40 I started living, at 40 I started working with children. At 40 I went back to college, I love the end result. At 64 I'm still growing with a lot of wisdom of knowledge. Blessings dear friend and happy birthday
