The Race of life by Blossom Monyei

"The Race of life" by #blossommonyei
The race of life
I am about to describe
Where some has to work and strive
While the others bribe.

As the first car runs faster than the other
With ease it crosses every border
It wins every level
Without any struggle.

The second car lacked speed.
And prays not to be defeated.
To him the audience paid less heed.
You only have friends when you have succeeded.

The race of life begins at birth 
And most people give up too soon.
There's nothing easy on this earth
Unless you're born with silver spoon.

You'll cross the finish line with hardworks
Leave those oportuned, their money talks.
Finish the race it's yours to fend.
Never loose hope until the very end.
