Our Future Career
Will I be a cleric or a pastor?
I
I think of be a priest in Catholic Church,
All allies & helpers cry
Yes, my fiancée said I dared not,
I awe her logic of rejects me to be a man of God in church
Will I be a judge or a lawyer?
I
I think of a lawyer for leadership
To solve the problems in amicable ways
To be call my lord like Jews with Jesus
My darling was not happy
Will I be a soldier or prison guard?
I
I think be a prison specialist in authority
Or an intelligence expert in the army
Any, not all cry for me, it is a horror able place
I exited outer; I stare at sky minus the dust dipping into my ogles
Will I be what and what?
I
If you all junk my careers
Tell me what'll I be I question the space?
Then the soft voice in the sky
Yes, I know it in your lives
Will I be a father or guardian?
I
I will not tell you.
Think your career in live
I turn but none is there
However, a voice says to be a pastor
will be a tax collector or accountant.
I
I think of a lawyer or judge lives
Who will be worries for those criminals?
Yes, as lawyer is target by criminals
Their friend executed by judge via lawyer not judge
Will I be what on this world?
I
Yes, I hear her voice jiggling
Yes, she is joking and calls me pastor not a cleric
Nevertheless, she didn't know
All pray for others needs now
For such name aren’t allow in our society life
For young person to be a priest
I held up and what I’ll be call while I’s thirsty
I turn to uncle for advice
Yes to give me more in live sincere
However, aunt was not happy for career
Being solider is like a death row
Who will dare go between the border of Russia & Ukraine?
Marine soldier will dare
A coward likes you and me
Therefore, i am a mogul to be rich as others
That is wrong career in ours
Will I be a farmer or woodcutter?
I
Be farmer not shopkeeper
Grand mama wishes me as farmer.
Yes, mother wishes me as pot maker
Grandpapa wishes as chief or president.
Will I be a song composer or piano player?
I
Being singer is best then being a composer
Be a writer then being a spear master
Moreover, the voice says yes! Yes, be a writer
Yes be a writer in your live
Will I be a priest, a writer, a poet or a song composer?
I
I wish to be a priest, to be a novelist and poet in lives
And a lawyer beside me; as a writer, poet are like critic
So all things to God
