The race of life


"The Race of life" by Blossom Monyei The race of life I am about to describe Where some has to work and strive While the others bribe. As the first car runs faster than the other With ease it crosses every border It wins every level Without any struggle. The second car lacked speed. And prays not to be defeated. To him the audience paid less heed. You only have friends when you have succeeded. The race of life begins at birth And most people give up too soon. There's nothing easy on this earth Unless you're born with silver spoon. You'll cross the finish line with hardworks Leave those oportuned, their money talks. Finish the race it's yours to fend. Never loose hope until the very end.
