Hannington Mumo (17th November 1987 / Kenya)

Life is not a waste as many would want it to be.
Life is a purpose: God's aim for you and me!


Life is labor and dreams and visions.
You simply have to leave the world a better place
Than you found it when you joined its sojourners.


When the dawn chases the pervasive darkness of the night,
And the sun lazily rises in the East,
Know that you are up for a fight;
That you have to fight Idleness the million-horned beast.


And if you find life disagreeable,
Tell the Creator to send to you death's angel
And have them drink your breath,
And take with them both life and health,
And all you have is endless rest!
Bliss upon bliss! ! !
