The Man That Will be a Genius



-when a man lines up his name
-with the mark of
-trustworthy and honesty
-when he clothes himself
-with the garment of
-purity and pace of humility
-when a man's character of
-past labelled as reliable and dependable
-when his spoken words
-can be accepted
-at all times any where
-as a legal tender unverified
-when he walks in the street
-and his loins was well knitted
-with inviting odours of life
-to the noses of on-lookers
-when he hates to live with money
-and abhors the sweet tastes of wine
-take note of that man
-he is not and ordinary being
-he is a genius that bathes
-in the secret chambers of life
-where the men of integrity
-were born with a customized name!
