University Of Life Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

The precepts of living joyously still remains our concern
For what we give precedence goes to discern
How ginormous our merry and melancholy will be in turn
At the university of life we encounter hoards of pratfalls
Yet strive to maintain cheerful cheery countenance amid all
Gingerly suppressing the painful pains and stressful strains.
Pragmatically we observe how our plans are scuttled
And scruple to get every obstacle and shortfall battled
Carefully amassing and rekindling our visions for the morrow.
Amid the raptures and fortunes of the university of life
Let's relish the moments for felicity runs rife
Amicably blending with our wishes and expectations.
Herein we possess monumental moolah and wealth
Yet paradoxically, yearning and chasing better health
A reality, a situation and a verity that amazes.
When i see that cute baby carried in the papoose
I seethe with unshakable hope and no chance i loose
wishing that baby a promising future and mercy in perpetuity.
Transform a soul, shake a conscience, hold a hand
Adorn yourself in humility and make your chances grand
For it is so small the abode and world we are in.
