[hometext] => It/'/s so frightening how humans age. We all were born to die, but the speed with which we age is mysterious. How short the life is.....
[bodytext] => The Speed of Life a little cry in the ward announcing the birth of a new life piecing the ears of everyone Mother and child cry Midwives grinning smiles on everybody/'/ faces In Africa, some frown black, they call them witches The priest sprinkles water Baptism to cleanse and protect from the world So dark no one sees Thru the days the teeth grew the parents are happy Then they go off Cos they they are /'/milk/'/ First day in school a myriad of new faces Everything is simple an unimaginable love just in a blink yesterday/'/s baby is in teenage then he feels the parents are wicked hitting every of their words just like bricks he needs to crush high school is over he becomes an undergraduate The university, a land of freedom experimenting with all his thoughts..... People came around It/'/s graduation A new life began The real life, called reality...a "man" toiling everyday to make ends meet /'/Hustling/'/ to keep his head afloat Trying hard to be responsible new friends new colleagues new family now he/'/s a parent...
