CHANGES IN JOURNEY OF LIFE
a. Human life in every facet is prone to changes
And the changes can either be gradual or rapid
The realm of contemporary jungle is full of challenges
If one fails to make one’s foundation solid,
One will fall victim to wind of change in the trail
Life requires improvement to make changes positive
Those who fail to improve are bound to derail
And lack of improvement makes changes negative.
b. In journey of life, changes occur in both files
The gradual change in the downhill is called deterioration
It becomes rapid when individuals are exposed to vile
If one fails to make u-turn, it will lead to retardation.
c. The uphill is equally marked with slow and rapid changes
Unlike the downhill, the slow change is called rehabilitation
This occurs when u-turn is made towards positive challenges
If one continues in the struggle, it will lead to reformation.
d. The stages of change in both files are endless
Nature designed the journey as continuous process
The downhill is more like abyss of ignorance
And the individuals are marked with steady decadence
The systematic renewal in the uphill is equally unlimited
And at every peak, each of the individuals is elevated.
e. The changes in the downhill reduce individuals to nothing
It causes the drove to become like jetsam and flotsams
The future for each in the file is quite unpromising
And existence is covered with shadows of dreams.
f. Strange wind from nature causes changes in the realm
It becomes hazardous when one degenerates into flotsam.
g. Obum was among those that got swept in the jungle
Mediocrity showed that in reality he was perishing
And he felt it when life started floating like particle
He did not even know when he started deteriorating.
h. One of the prophets of light saw it like revelation
He saw it at first with an inner purblind eye
But when the Spirit came, things became clear in vision
He saw the entire drove floating like dust in the sky.
i. The prophet saw wind of change and believed not his eyes
He heard the Spirit asking, “What did you see?”
And his answer was, “I saw men like floats in the sky”
The Spirit took him to a place near a great sea
And there he saw things clearly in the revelation
He saw Obum hanging like lofty fool on high place
And shortly, another wind came blowing him down in ruin
It came like storm and sent him down the abyss of decadence.
