By Zainab I. Musa

Life isn't a dream,
It's rather a stream,
Which if you can't swim,
It takes you downstream.

Life isn't a dream,
It's rather a reality,
Bringing your popularity,
Fading into deformity.

Life isn't a dream,
It's rather a play,
Which if you delay,
Soon you'll be slayed.

Life isn't a dream,
It's rather a race,
And if you don't haste,
You'll easily be chased.
