Bang!
I
was created with one purpose in mind
To
fulfill my destiny and be a sign in these times
Created
to live a life filled with equal opportunity
Not
racism, violence and fear- this is all so new to me?
There’s
so many moments that make life worth living
Like-
waking up each morning with your body still intact
Letting
your family’s love fill you with warmth is just a fact
That
concludes God’s favour over your soul
Allowing
you to call these humble walls home
Stepping
out into the day, you pray
No
harm may come to all who choose to call themselves your friends
And
stand tall
While
still remaining close to heart
You
soak in words from your soul mate, hoping never to part from-
LOVE
This
is what makes life worth living
It’s
not all about taking, there’s got to be some giving
Of
your time, money, an open ear, a tender heart
To
some soul reaching out for a hand in the dark
Don’t
discriminate against what you just don’t know
Educate,
evaluate
Aids
is no longer on show
Be
real about how you feel
I
feel it’s best to wait
Put
that ring sir on my finger, before you can eat off my plate
And
if you think it’s too late; better guess again
For
after sunshine there must come rain
Thus
from the cycle of life there can be- no refrain
So
live and be loved by this life you’ve been given
And
when it’s all over I’ll see you in heaven
Remembering
that when all this fades away
You’ll
have the guts to be like Bond and say:
“Come
life! I’ll gladly Die another day!”
