Rival Watch

Yesterday am born,
Today weeping,
Gone into with happy heart.

Here we say it’s in life
Wey no get formula,
No balance.

What you have,
What you don’t have,
Where our elders reside.

When their performance is over,
Being good and good,
On the eternal stage.

Now they weep,
I laugh,
Did my live matter then?

.The End.
