Take Life More Seriously Poem by Kinyua Karanja

You need to take life more seriously
And focus on your goals and target
If you have nowhere to go in mind
any road takes you there, don't forget
Like an aimless feather carried by wind.

You need to take life more seriously
Think about your health and pleasure
Doctor has warned you about smoking
and alcohol saying you have blood pressure,
diabetes or asthma but you keep ignoring.

You need to take life more seriously
And give a little thought on your weight
Twenty five pounds you gained recently
You like junks knowing you are short in height
All over the body fats is now piling up quickly.

You need to take life more seriously
And set more time for your family
always on job trips and late in the house
And have endless job meetings daily
months you haven't met kids and spouse.

You need to take life more seriously
Start doing things that now you pretermit
The little things that used to spice your life
That add health to body, soul and spirit
For your well being, kids, husband or wife.
