We Only Live Once WOLO
WE ONLY LIVE ONCE – WOLO
We came into this world with nothing. So nothing shall we leave with
We were born and bred with the word, so the word should be our bread
What are we fighting for; the money, the fame, which will all pass away?
Our lives on this earth are limited, so why the greed for all this money
Today you are the richest man on earth, tomorrow you are gone without knowing what happens to the rest
You rest on gold plated king size beds, tomorrow you only rest in peace
How I wish our lives were like batteries; replaceable and rechargeable
But no, We Only Live Once. WOLO
Today you choose what to eat; I like pizza, pineapples and Shawama
But tomorrow, you are just a feast for termites in that 6 feet
Whether rich or poor, the criteria is the same 6 feet
Whether ugly or handsome, same 6 feet
When you are gone, a thousand words won’t bring you back
A thousand tears won’t beat your heart
So why live a life to please a thousand people
When one hungry soul needs just a meal
You eat 3 square meals a day, but tomorrow you are a manure for the clay
You drive with pride in that ride
Having no idea if there are tarred roads after death
Who said money is the root of all evil? The Bible?
I’m sorry, greed is the root of all evil – for the love of money: that is the greed
You wasted a million dollars on a painting instead of donating to refugees
There is a saying: charity and generosity are easy when you have plenty
So if your many is little, does it prevent you from giving?
Cos there is more blessing in giving than in receiving
Stop deceiving… yourself
We fight to gain what we can’t take with us when leaving this earth
Not even our cloths or that pair of shoes
Remember, We Only Live Once – WOLO
