Realism

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)



opinions are like noses
everybody has one
like freedom; we all want to have fun
you don't want to die
but bought yourself a gun
in the kingdom of life
everyone is entitled to a wife
you have love for God
but hates a brother
you can respect the air
and mock your neighbor
but do remember
that rewards comes not from prayer
but what you labor
our fantasies comes into reality
unless there is possibility
for without opportunity
fhe potential is a mystery
and what is the use of the opportunity
without the potentiality
