LEST I BREATHE NO MORE
Tell hope that war gives no notice
Tell patience that destitution
Knows no menace
Tell time,it diffuses too early
Tell time,I tried my best
To manage and utilise it for good
But destiny took me for a fool
I started crawling when my peers fly.
My teeth grew
When they welcome succession.
I started dancing when the rhythm vanished
I began to sing in the face of diminuendo.
Tell education it has much paybacks:
To my living and unborn wards
To my nephews and nieces
Lest I breathe no more
Tell success I've got its ore
But mentorship kept me raw
And I refused to eat my food raw
In my capacity:
I refined all that are possible
And made templates for my unborns
Who will tell time a new story
And show hope their deserved glory
Lest I breathe no more
Tell time,I managed it well
But mentorship made mess of me
Lest I lost the chance to wake up
Tell time,I managed it well
Tell the world I bade farewell
