DESTINY OR FATE?
There he sat, wondering why he was broke
If being broke was funny, he would never be out of jokes
There he sat thinking, hand on his chin
The world seemed to have stopped, at least for him
It didn't use to be like this, he wasn't always sad
Until death came from nowhere and took away his dad
Uncles and other relations came and took all their properties
Accused his mother of murder and all sorts of atrocities
And so they left the house, empty-handed
He, his mother and his 2 siblings heavy hearted
He knew in this journey called life, he had approached a bend
He knew all would get better, it was far from the end
But nothing was really moving, everything was stagnant
His younger brother had just gotten a girl pregnant
Final year in the university, trying hard to cope
Still being optimistic. So high were his hopes
All he wanted was to give his mother a reason to smile
He knew he would do it. Though it was going to take a while
Still sitting down thinking, he finally let out a sigh
He decided to do the best he could and leave the rest for the Most High
And so, the mother had all her hope in her son
She knew one day, he was going to shine brighter than the sun
Graduation soon came, he came out top of his class
The 1st First Class student of the department, he broke the record like it was glass
Fortunately, he was called to work for a big company
With a huge salary, a car and a house to accompany
Taking his bath excitedly on that Monday morning, he fell in his bath tub
Sadly, he died the day he was to start job
His mother died of shock. In him was her faith
Is dying at such a time his destiny or is it just fate?
