I want to be a lawyer
No a doctor is richer
I will rather be an engineer
Maybe a carpenter?
Good education I must get
Books upon books I must read not to forget
Certificates and accolades I have taken home
The cities of the world I have seen, even Rome
But then I die

Bright red lipstick here
A dab of powder there
Don’t I look just pretty?
Not just a beauty I pray thee, smart and witty
Men always at my heels
All heads over heels
They call me sex on wheels
Oh how I live such lofty dreams
But then I die

All the money I must have
Who cares let the people starve
Vacation trips first class
No okada, I must to buy motor
Wealth is all I seek to amass
Maybe even play a little lotto
Would you stand in my way, I am a senator?
Keep talking of corruption worthless janitor
But then I die

I am running around
Faster and faster than I ever thought I could
To avoid death’s blow; an unsealing wound
Death mocks me still; it’s not yet in the mood
I want to escape this inevitable fate
I am but human; I must go like my mates
Tarry a bit oh merciless servant
Defeated in battle though gallant
And then I die

This poem simply seeks to escape the
inevitability of death in a man’s journey in life.
Despite the books, all the knowledge of the
world, the greatest beauty, all the wealth
acquire, nothing ends it all but death.
