Live A Good Life Poem by Raimi Babatunde

As people are born
People also die
As people come to the world
People also leave

You did not choose your birth
You did not choose your colour
Neither did you choose your country
Lest your continent

Your life is a movie
Filled with intrigues and fantasies
Highs and lows inclusive
Just as every movie has an end
How will yours end?

Are you good person?
Maybe people see you as a bad ass
Can you boss recommend you?
Can your school attest to your character?
Maintain a goodly character
It is worth more than silver or gold

One day the movie will come to an end
You shall stand before your Creator
The film will be replayed
Just like a book
Your book will be opened
What will be said of you?

Dear Friend
Live a good live
And you will never be afraid of tomorrow
You will never be afraid of death
So that on your memorial
We would not have to lie.
