Odyssey
Odyssey
Banji Segun (Leaking _Penn)
If he's strong, let him be strong.
The hurricane blows away the hills.
If he's overwhelming, let him be overwhelming.
The bright moon still shines over the river.
If he's fierce, let him be fierce.
The scorching sun torches the earth dry.
Winning or losing doesn't matter.
Affluence and penury are transient.
Morning splendor fades at dusk.
He who hasn’t tasted the sweetness in the bitterness
Values, not the memories’ moments.
The oceans and the skies aren’t enough.
to count yesterday’s grudges
No one lives forever; only for a handful
Time is wasted; bargaining vengeance at pitiful sum.
He who will live will get battered.
He who won’t be battered; will barter.
It’s all a give and take.
Only through loss do we gain.
