THE FATE OF MAN

 

This bone was once in luxury,
Leaving and living in mansions,
Traveling from here to there,
Drives exotic cars, with tinted glasses.

After acquiring all degrees,
With proofs of certifications,
After extorting the people
With truthful lies in business.

After intimidating faces,
With ill-gotten wealth,
With the facial expression of arrogance,
It will still end in the grave. 

After the millions, billions and trillions,
Whether naira, dollars or pounds,
Empty handed will a man return,
To face eternal judgment.

After the hustling and bustling,
Under the scorching sun,
And in the mocking rain,
Man must sleep in a grave forever. 

One by one, we shall all return,
To account for our deeds in flesh,
Yehweh will pay everyone,
According to one\'s thoughts, words and actions.
