is Life worth living
Ajah Ikechukwu Emmanuel 1976 (Owerri)
Life is a stage
Of actors and actresses
Antagonists and protagonists
Of positions and stations
One above the other
Life is a platform
Of exhibition and examination
Presentation and performance
A center of attraction
Action and attention
Life is not Canaan
Rather a phase
A step to afterlife
Life is a gift
Willingly given
To be regiven
Sleep over that
