What Heights I Might Have Reached By Now, If...........
If only I had listened
to my mentor's philosophical advice
If I had fixed eventually
my fickle mind
If I had set my sail
direct to my definite shore
If I had taken seriously
my speaking mirror - the circle of friends before
If I hadn't be a man
of by and by
If I had ignored those
bullying criticisms though quiet degrading
If I had considered all the '' IFs''
as my country strengths against adversities
Heaven knows what heights I might
have reached by now
But if these ''IFs'' hadn't be mine
in my mind
I couldn't be
shackled in modern-day slavery:
digging off affluent milk and honey
If I haven't enslaved by
foreign laborious chain
Hell knows how poor I
should have known;
a broken dreamer back
to my mortgage home
