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.
