A Crazy Day

A crazy day 

Masculine in the stature
Outstanding in reaching out
The goal crawling to the pilot point
How slow like a snail it seems
And it looks so blur like a dream

Crazy day,  oh thou crazy day
When the legs seem faster than cars
And the pocket seems too deep of emptiness 
When determination remains the only belly food
And the hustler looks like a fool

Oh the crazy day of many wants
When phone works but battery fails
The interview fixed but transport fare
Garri  available but in search for sugar
The day we wish,  never to remember

The day you were told you've gat nothing to offer
When all roads seem turning round
And your spherical earth seems rectangular 
Squeezing a round hole in a square peg 
A crazy day,  full of tears

When a man couldn't profess his love 
Being of a low personality, low self esteem 
When the shoes look like a boat
Suits then are better called rain coats..lol
A crazy day of tattered hair,  empty belly

But the dream has lead  great men far
Sharing their stories in achievements 
They all have tasted bitterness in some ways
And never gave up in their race 

The crazy days are inevitable 
For gold shines but must pass through fire
Some will swim oceans to the other side
Many will climb mountains to reach the goal
Different strokes for different folks

Oh,  the crazy day
Thou temporary crazy day
You make a man stronger
In failure,  to learn success
Transformed within a seconds

Cherish your mistakes 
Embrace the days of your hustle
Work hard,  think smart
Pray hard,  hold on to your faith
That your crazy day,  will soon be over
