ENLIGHTENMENT MESSAGE

In this world we live in today 
Everyone with their taste or aim
I'm not in it to impress
But to impact with balance 
If you can't contact or concur 
Then you're not an alliance or can't relate
So why the debate or hate, when everyone is not mate!?..

I'm here to leave a legacy 
Not just properties 
People achieve properties with deceit 
But greatness comes with discipline 
Bankruptcy takes away all properties 
Even when you passed it down
But legacy can't die if passed down
Unless for a selfish pursuit for power or position.

Whatever you do take your time 
Always pay the price of diligence 
Be accountable and honest 
Don't portray to be perfect 
We all make mistakes 
But the ability to make amendments 
Will determine your contentment
Because nothing blooms all year long.
