One Day
One day
One day you are born as an infant
As you cry others were in celebration
That a new child is born unto your family
Innocently sucking your mother’s breast
As you felt a haven in the warmth of your mother’s body
Being cuddled as she caress you with admiration in her eyes
Just one day
And one day your mental awareness will be awaken
As a boy with new physical appearance
Desiring a sense of belongingness
As a girl with developed breast and hips
With curved figure and feminine features
You’ll be the toast of the town and of all other girls
One day you and your friends will talk about the female
Since opposite sex attracts
As the female talks and gossips about the boys
And as female you will share what interests you about the boys
And as male you will talk about what attracts you to girls
One day you’ll be so conscious of the way you look because of them
You would do every thing you can do for them to notice you
You will desire intimacy with others and others would, with you
You will desire to express your feelings and others would, with you
You will desire to tell a special person how you feel about them
And you would have a special person who always thinks of you
But one day all these'll change and
One day you'll think of how to create your world in your head
And structure your world with your hands
And feel your world with your heart
Its either you learn a trade
Or learn to trade with your talent and acquired skills
One day you will make a choice to either
Earn a-paid-employed job or Become Self-employed
You create what people want or you want what people create
You sell what people buy or you buy what people sell
One day you'll earn income with your acquired skills as services
As you think of how to make money in business
Just in one day…you start being conscious of life this way
And become awaken to why you are here
And make choices to why you must be there
As you realize the place you where
You adhere to your dream as you are going somewhere
Knowing that going somewhere is better than nowhere
So one day you’ll be aware that life is your choice
As you decide to give birth to babies or/and dreams
And just one day the celebration will end
And the next day the mourning will begin
That we have gone back 6 feet down to "Rest In Peace"
From this uncertain world with its uncertainties
And those who celebrated with us from our birth
Are mourning and crying with them for our death
Just one day all these will take place in life
