He faced a challenge 
That forced him to use all his abilities
But doubt clouded his judgement

Gen Y and Z- one cryptic crowd!
Manage, by text, to Laugh Out Loud!

The KISS Principle!
When ‘rich’ think life’s their oyster, ‘cultured pearls’ establish worth,
and ‘folks who pray’ think heaven’s theirs because of ‘selfless’ acts,
