Life's Testament
After winter comes summer
After rain, sunshine
Life's complexities are entangled
In an unending race
Laced with sorrows, bereavements
From the fields of sharpville
And the ruins of Biafra
To the burnt, harrased oil wells in Kuwait
Every day is a puzzle, hurdle
Which we, made in the creator's image,
Must unriddle
Our shame does not lie in failing
But in not trying
Our strength lies in our continued hope
That the crowing of cock at dawn
Holds a brighter future
For our generation and generations after!
