DAILY DROPS - Tobi Best
I sing this song to life
My muse and indispensable wife
Into success I must dive
To great heights I'd love to grow
I have gone to and fro
To the east, west, north and south
Even from the ants
I have sought knowledge
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold
So, Yeats told
And this we live to behold
Like Esther dined with Ahesuerus
We all aim to be prosperous
Saying we are more than conquerors
But to ourselves remain dangerous
Seeth thou a man dilligent in his ways
Before kings he shall stand always
Mankind shall sing of his praise
And under his feet shall be mere men
What dreadful fate to befall them!!
Who can't face the Lions den
But love the title of a rare gem
And continuously proclaim
I have a dream! I have a dream!
Without a stream?
A realistic stream of consciousness?
