WHAT A WORLD!

Friends, we live in a world in which the unpredictable wind of life drives us in unexpected ends,
A world in which the restless seas of life drowns even the most 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 destinies lies in our hands,
What a world! One characterized by irony!

In this jungle brothers, no definite trend is typical or fixed,
We are therefore architects of our lives,
For some folks step into life wretched, and depart affluent,
Others tread its path wallowing in luxury, but get past the finished line beggars,
Still in this jungle, brethren,
While some fellows die from the pangs of hunger and poverty,
Others have so much as to cast to the dogs,
What a world! One that typifies sheer contradiction!

As we sail along this open sea folks,
We realize that while some maidens seek a spouse no matter what they like look like,
Others emphasize appearance and looks,
More so, a lot more others are after fame and fortune,
Also along these waterways called life,
We observe that while some women wet their pillows at night for a lack of a single offspring,
Others have not stopped counting,
More over, others have had their health jeopardized by obstinate progeny,
What a world! One typical of dissatisfaction and unfairness!

Finally fellow country men, as some of us plod through the vegetation of this thick forest, downcast,
We should not make light this indispensable principal of life;
Life can either be good, bad or worse,
But we can choose to affect life, and be happy, or be affected by life and remain sad,
We are therefore a product of our attitude,
Attitudes, yes attitudes; they either make or mar us,
For while some see the forest as a place of equal opportunities,
Where the top is open to all who persevere,
Others make endless lists of why they can't make it,
What a world! One pillared on attitude!
