IRONY OF LIFE
People betrayed me because of what I don't have
Now they have what I want but can't give it to me
Kindness is who you are not what you have, take note
Common sense is not common but discrimination is
Discernment is the guild of a wise man every dawn.
Think different from others staying unique amidst
Behaving in a reasonable way without condemnation
Taking good decisions reach intelligent conclusions
In a world of instant gratification and dishonesty
Strong moral principles refuse to change to fit in.
People laughs and bully the man with driven purpose
But comes around when it's beneficial and nourishing
Supports you when they see growth and bountifulness
Despise when you start creating boundaries not bonds
Unaware of the trauma's their ridicule did to the soul.
Police station closing by 10:00pm for security reasons
Traders, transporters are now the watchmen of the city
An engineer is now working as an accountant in the bank
Criminals are now the leaders and rulers in our country
Men of integrity are now slaves and prisoners of the law.
Apprentice portraying as master and masters now apprentice
The only fire station in the city was burned down by fire
Power holding company of Nigeria using Gasoline Generators
Brothers are now strangers to themselves because of money
Mediocre spirits had been great oppositions to great mind
Non believers are now preachers and leaders of religions
A pilot resigned due to the fear of heights, unbelievable
Show compassion, offer support, and refrain from judgment
Always an unspoken initiation every person is undergoing.
