Breath: the Symbol of Hope

BREATH: THE SYMBOL OF HOPE

In situations & circumstances, a man must grow,
perspiring until when the storms will eventually go.
Irrespective of hardship & what he goes through,
a man must hold fast to what is profitable & true;
his tenacity & will to succeed must penetrate 
the impediments that make life fluctuate. 
When your clan swims in riches and plenty,
And you flush down the drain with no penny,
think of many who accumulate wealth diligently
but couldn't spend it cos the grave open-mouthedly 

swallowed them up in victory & left them with vanity.
Benevolent spirits only crack when swayed by anything.
This is absolutely irrefutable and objective verity.
A living dog is better than a lion death-bound 
and hope isn't hard to find where breath is found.

May it be that your breath is your symbol of hope;
So grope to succeed and cope with your life scope.
Don't elope too long with your feelings,
but watch your steps and your dealings
'cause it's your doings that saves you from ruins.
