ONE THING WILL KILL A MAN

The world is so filled with so many things
That becloud our existence as human
From the day we grace this world
And it follows us all throughout
Our lifetime here on earth
 
Some are so in haste in life
Of not wanting to cast a second thought
Of how and the manner they are living their life
Some are just mere existing but are not living
One thing of a truth will definitely end  man
 
But do you what that is
No one knows but is never far fetched
Of what will surely end mankind
One surest way is the deeds of mankind
And that is one thing that will kill a man
 
What shall it profit a man?
If such a man gains the whole world
Travel all over the world
Read all he can read and learn
Have this degree with achievement and accolades
 
And such a one dies without
Not having a relationship with God
What a wasted life wasted years
Of what will it be said of you
When it all be said and done
 
Eternity is too far to be toiled with it
Is never a child’s play but an urgent
Need to seek a quick redress
Is better now than to postpone it till tomorrow is worst
One thing will kill a man
 
The world
The flesh
The love of money
And then man’s pride over what he has acquired
Over the years
