Life Is Not a Rush

Life is not a rush"
I see too many religion,
All over places,
Yet I feel less love among the people,


I see people with lot of knowledge,
But few with wisdom,
Wonder why the scarcity?
Or is wisdom a ghost?


I see too many people,
With high level of class education,
They earn largely,
but yet lack happiness,


We fly to see,
What is in other planet,
While we lack the understanding of nature,
On earth,



I see men banking money,
They are too rich in money,
But they got no common sence,
They lack moral education,
Above all no peace of mind,



Oh gave me the herb,
Let me live long,
Too much advance medicine,
Yet we suffer from strange illness,
We work at last to pay for our health,
Like a game from the begining,



In an African uptown 
I see too many mansions,
In defferent colours and shapes,
Few families of the so called v.i.p,
dwell in this community
liveing in a high luxurious lifestyle,
They Party hard,
 like there is no tommrow,
Yet the salary of is gate men,
Are no where to be found,


Easy slowly,
I know some one out there is in need,
Steady slowing,
Life is not that hard,
Dont gave up,
Don't run faster than your shadow,
Don't shake hopelessly,
Cos life is not all about money,
Don't rush to belong,
Don't rush to be rich,
Don't rush to be famous,
No! don't rush, cos you will faint,
Where hope will never recognize you,
Where shadows, 
just pass you by,
Without a word,
Eyes looks, but lips closed,
Life has enough to offer to all,
But for greed,
We rush,
If you honestly 
you love yourself,
You got to know that,
Life is not a rush.
