Analysis of I am living
Okafor Emmanuella 2000 (Anambra)
I am living yes I am living
I came into the beautiful space so innocent and mother provided all the necessity.
Days turn into weeks
Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Yes I a full blown adult and yes I am living
Mother thought me skills
Basic Education gave wonderful hope
Pastor prayed for prosperity
Now I am in the labour market
And I am still living
I gave in the best to interviews
Searched the internet for means
I returned back in the evening weary
There are wonderful opportunity out there but are quality.
Are you in the elite list
Then I am still living
