You Did Not Know
When you were born, you never knew you would expire
Expire because life is never eternal on earth
Earth where people move, stop, sit and proceed
Proceed with others or alone
Alone or with others, we see the environment
Environment becomes our best friend
Friend human is never eternal
Eternal he is not in everything
Everything can make life complicated
Complicated, you cry, moan or feel irritation
Irritation can affect you in myriad ways
Ways motivating or demotivating you
You, because you did not know the truth
Truth learned to discourage deceit
Deceit causing people to clash and depart
Depart from others as you did not know
Know your self well and who to befriend
Befriend a good woman to avoid endless cries
Cries kill men because they did not distinguish
Distinguish between good and bad marital choice
Choice to pray for a good life partner
Partner who can engage and motivate
Motivate you toward your Maker and your self
Self to value your living entourage
Entourage depicting your real existence
Existence because you are well cognizant
Cognizant to kill the “I did not know” syndrome
Syndrome making you cry and shed tears
Tears because you did not identify
Identify what you should know.
