An Aye For a Nay
Sometimes its an aye, aye, aye
Instead of saying nay, nay, nay;
Patience is a virtue
So hold it, can you?
If you can then go, go, go!
Life goes on the way we like it to.
They said, 'wait till you become
so be it;
And when it's you who'll reach the climb
give't a break:
For what's worst than being pricked with broken shards,
Is to teach the child to read "radar" or "kayak" backwards.
Life is not about the sex, the gap, the age
Neither about the work, the duration, the stage
Nor about the color, the culture, the race and language
For if we talk about each other's differences
We're not far from comparing a rooster to a hen
When the only fact is they're both chickens.
Life isn't about who's craddled last or first—
There's but only one solution to your hunger
So as to queench your thirst.
Now see, where did we differ?
In stands? In ideologies? Or once career?
No! It's just pride and prejudice, brother and sister.
Life goes on the way we want it to
If you can't, for the first time, don't push it through
Slowly, set it free; don't be jealous
And when you're already ready; don't get nervous
Give it another try
And that's the time you'll surely say— Aye!
