I have been on a roller coaster ride, on a bid to survive; I have been on a Rolla coaster ride with destiny gallivanting by my side. I have inherited an empty barrel with grease saturated at the bottom and I have worked night to clean it out to get it back on track and propel it to the top, and now the river is flowing and the fire is burning. There is no good news if you are really in tune, you make the news, I make the news, and they make the news. The news making process is long and tedious; sometimes we have to stand on top of the desk or position a camera inside the tree so that the crucifix can see you and me. It has been a Rolla Costar ride with love bouncing up and down my side and the Gymnast giving it all that she has got to make it to the tedious top. She kept springing up and flipping over on the trampoline in pursuit of her long awaited dreams, she held firmly to the cross bar and parachute seven feet up in the air for the third time and stayed in position for s few second and land safely on the ground to maintain her balance; the crowd raise to its feet with a sudden roar to celebrate her fleet. She has passed the threshold and now she can stand up bold; she did a little jig until the audience was still. It has been a Rolla coaster ride in pursuit to stay alive, the military is pushing the wheel barrow with a soft target and a lantern they have given up and fell flat on their naked backs. They shout and scream, jockey for position and consult the devil in the dead heat of the night to win the roller coaster fight but my guarding angel was glued to my side. This daily imperfection and midnight unprediction are waiting in the wings to cover their sins and me standing over here wondering what is in it for me grappling with this painful misery and just when I thought of it the door open and everyone cross over on my side. When your face is on the ground and destiny have you bound get on the soccer field and run with the ball with all your zeal and if you are not satisfied with that, just join the cricket match and hit the ball with all that you have got and make a triple century to take the team home to victory You can go on a cruise and be amused, join buffet line and eat something that you have never eaten before, then go to the book store and read my cookbook and you will see how fast the economy grows. It has been a Rolla coaster ride but I have survived.
