Realities of life

Preciousgift 2003 (Osun State)



Love is blind
That might be the reason
It's taking time
to find me



Experience is a teacher
best of its kind
with all its knowledge
It couldn't save
all of its student



After the night
Comes the day
What then should
We say of
 those that faded
With the night?



Death is an end to life
The grave is a bed to lay
Why then do ghost
Wander around?
Are their bed
Made of stone?
