The Meaning

Muttering is not a solution
Grambling is not the key
Screaming is not a validation
Abbreviation is outdated

Life is meant to be lived
Tears are meant for cleansing of the eyes
Loving is meant for happiness
Strength is meant for growth

Opportunity is not a success
Challenge is not a competition
Love is not a mercy
Pain is not the end

Knowledge is meant to be utilised
Humanity is meant to be embraced
Determination is meant to be honoured
Courage is meant to be respected
