Life by Timi Sanni

Life
Of skinny children with empty bowls
Of moguls dressed in gilded attires
Of ancestors long gone
Life, of right and wrong and that line in between
You’re the air we breathe,
the blood that flows through our veins
You’re the moment,
a preparation for an eternal tomorrow
Your course and cycles push us to the edge
Your big hands break us time and time again
And in delicate fingers mould us back to shape
We born kings must toil and fight
And strive and struggle
Through the changing horizons
with eyes so keen
Searching up above, for your heavenly shore
