Reality
Ifunanya Mary Mmaduabuchukwu 1999 (Anambra state)
Forty days ahead,
Kept growing into an achievement,
Age just a number that gives years to life
Lives are lost as age begins to decrease.
Numbers are just a hand full of words with no meaning,
Months kept on the division of years on earth,
Weeks remind us of number of years yet to come,
Days bring about the second,minutes,hours,spent on every occasion,
Lives are lost day by day,
New babies are born,
Generations come and go; time travels,
Death is inevitable.
