Friends, we live in a world in which the unpredictable wind of fate drives us in unexpected ends,
A world in which the restless seas of life drowns even the skilful of captains,
However, in the face of these situations which tend to obfuscate us,
We should not treat with negligence,
The fact that the key to our destiny lies in our hands,
What a world! One characterized by irony!
In this jungle, brothers, no definite trend is typical,
We therefore are architects of our own lives,
For some folks step into it wretched, and depart affluent,
Others tread its path wallowing in luxury, but get passed the finish line as beggars,
Still in this jungle, brethren,
While some fellows die from the pangs of hunger and poverty,
Others have so much as to cast them to the dogs,
What a world! One that typifies sheer contradiction!
TO BE CONTINUED...
