Get a Life... by Dele Farotimi

Get a Life..

To live forever, be prepared to die,

To live on purpose, be shorn of fear,

Devoid of fear, we cease to care,

For the scions of men, we live sans fear,

Fears are chains, designed to bound.

Faith, the breaker of chains woven by fear.  

Dele Farotimi
