Confidence

I am always on course 
Living life with no remorse 
Life is like a push and pull force
You only get back what you toss

That which alters not the thoughts,
Yet gives it a try and confidence should be a better fate!

A must to interpret!!
It's all a must for the sun to smile!!!!

approach a politician
he will preach patriotism
that you die in peace
here in Africa
