Analysis of Another L.I.F.E.
Everybody lives twice,
but only when you live right.
YOLO is really a mere word,
provided you're on the right path.
Saying that Steve Jobs is dead,
will be an assumption that Apple doesn't exist.
Or claiming that Thomas Edison is no more,
when lights are constantly shinning above your head.
2pac Shakur departed decades ago,
yet we still play his songs cos they lift the soul.
He is still with us, with his lines repeating,
his songs banging, and the whole world listening.
You're feeling hot and need to chill,
you turn your AC on and there you go.
How dare you say that Willis Carrier is still.
No, he's there, right in your home.
Kobe Bryant, God bless his soul,
the 18-time NBA superstar.
it's sad to say he passed too soon,
but he still lives on, inspiring many youngsters.
People will die without breathing air,
do you now see that Carl Wilhelm is still here?
He had discovered the oxygen we take,
when we're losing breath and our lives at stake.
How would you have traveled overseas,
in the fastest possible way?
the wright brothers brought that ease,
and that's how you know they're still living today.
Why do you think it's titled 'Wakanda Forever'
if not because of Chadwick Boseman?
That gem's life is one to remember.
Go on, cross your hands to show you're a true fan.
No doubt Karl Benz did us good,
when he made the very first car.
you turn on your engine and there he is,
just in place to take you far.
Don't tell me you don't listen to Whitney,
the 'I Will Always Love You' crooner.
the singer so gritty and pretty like a finny,
she'll always be here, though she left sooner.
The 'King Of Pop' as he 'is' called,
inspired Chris, Usher and lots many more.
It is true his body left the world,
but his songs, those moves are hard to abhor.
See how gorgeous you look in that dress,
with your sewn piece of just a cloth.
wouldn't you say that you're impressed,
how B. Thimonnier's idea was well thought?
"Please Sir, tell me, what time is it?"
and the first place you look is at your wrist.
A L Breguet passed in the 1800's
but that thing he did is still in existence.
It is The Lord that gives a purpose,
and every man has He given one.
But it is left for us to follow,
with faith and grit to reach our goals.
