BOOK COVERS
Quenching thirst for knowledge starts with learning.
It grows a deep desire to broaden our outlook to attain a future best.
Our noble dreams from humble beginnings, set us apart to go beyond;
And, make us strive to be high above the rest, but with caution.
The novelty of easy life can sometimes undermine our determination to succeed.
Some of us who thrive in extreme poverty become warriors
As we uphold our ambition in fighting for what makes sense of our self worth.
We work hard up the ladder with a great deal of struggles as we cross the bridge of many challenges.
In doing so, we equip ourselves with preparations
That begin with the right attitude, firm resolved and tough discipline to gain proper education.
I see myself in this lady looking tired and exhausted
Blanketing in knowledge her thirsty soul has quenched in peaceful contentment.
Once upon a time...
In my academic endeavour
That didn't even bear fruit
For lack of professional practice.
I ended up being a Poet!
