Laugh and live
Frown and drown faster
But joys and toys give
More years to a master
...
The boulder in my eye
Blinds me to the innocence I insult
When mad blood in my brain I consult
Exaggerating the little fly
...
Wheels of fortune to my tune dance
I spin wheels at a sedate speed
Ensuring I don't feed greed
Lest in the wrong direction I glance
...
Squeeze your feet in my shoes
Feel the hurt heaving in my heart
Heal the hurt that from my heart can't depart
No matter how much I dare to scatter the blues
...
The thrill of a deal
The drill of a seal
The shrill of happiness
Mean far more to hearts than the sulkiness
...
The key to our happiness lies in hearts we uplift
When burdens of life crush traces of bliss
Hearts no longer find in fractures of the fleece
Hearts knew for sure would grant them a lift
...
Pots and pans
Spoons and forks
Colanders and corks
Thrive in kitchen spans
...
Africans, quit messing up the plot
Wake up and seize the time
Quit swimming in the pastime
Of dreaming, screaming and streaming a lot.
...
Fifteen thousand I paid
In a hopeful move to secure a job
As up and down swung my bob
Deal's done, the crook said
...
Very wide open your eyes
Seizing your opportunity
Unfurling your dignity
As your soar into scintillating skies
...
