What a world! Many a time, many will say
To them, enjoyment is the life
To them, brightness is the cloud
Full of shining sun, beaming moon, twinkling stars
Whopping with joy, what a world!
To someone, darkness is the cloud,
Full of corrosive sun, burning stars, moody moon
Whopping with sorrow, what a world!
Mourning is the world, mice were the friends,
Bins were the fridge, rubbish dump was the market
Mosquitoes were the girlfriends.
It was always night, and the night last forever,
The day comes once in a blue moon or by mistake
But one night, I woke up to a day light
Motivated but motionless, moved but muted
What a mysterious marbled mansion!
Seeing is not believing. "Welcome to heaven's house"
The magnanimous magnificent most high ushered me in
HE gave me everything, HE charged me nothing
I ate cake in ten mouthfuls, and poverty was caged
I drunk milk and I became the milk of human kindness
I see the sun shining, the moon beaming, the stars twinkling
It wasn't always night but poverty is the darkest blindness of all nights
Heaven, what a beautiful world you created!
Thank you, but I'll never forgive you.
