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!
