The way we see sometimes

Sam madeyin 1991 (Ogun States)



Elephant is like a wall a largest land animal of the terestial
The second man touched it's round, yelled in unsure and scared,
 about smooth sharp tusk and declared,
"Elephant is just as a spear"
It was then the third turns handled it's squirming trunk incidentally and exclaimed "No way elephant is just like a snake"
Where it's sleep who can thread the same to wake.
Fourth man protested while stumbled at it's knees.
"The said creature was nothing but like a trunked trees"
The fifth man ampled and touched it's ear, and "shouted" the creature is like a smooth big fan
Lastly sixth one felt it's tail and argued,
"Elephant is just like a rope"
Our perceptions towards life and occurrences around us are paramount importance as a dealing man
We must all have a feel and rhythmic of life.
Everyone must have a share of the same other side of life regardless of age or status.
Narrowed mind outlook to life doesn't actually make life a narrow path to tread on.
And by negative and critical about life you're likely to develop heart related throes
That diminished you from cutting across anything horrizon.
