Lessons Learnt In Life
I was always told to master my craft.
A lucid mind will flare the future.
Education is sole motive.
So my time I devoted.
Ambitious to succeed
pass expectations.
My drive will pave
my path to
swim in
gold.
Born
into
poverty,
I aim to die
in prosperity.
I guess God's plan differed.
Chose not to stop stray bullets.
Notably the one in my chest.
Too late to see that As can't stop strays
and my revival won't stem from degrees.
