How Far

How far my friends in the west
How far my diaspora classmates
We are one in the race of life
For we are all labourers
So how far my good people
Of work and eat in the field
Of labour
School teachers how well
Can the pupils grow into 
Elite podium
How well can the leaders of 
The crown do as stars
My fellow trees of good fruits
How well can the apprentice do
Life is not about how far we
Have gone but how well
We are doing
