Difficulty
At times you smile and be kind
Then a shiver turn you angry
Combat the anger to a difficulty
The extent of which confuses others
That plunged them into the ocean of hatred.
Do not hate but forgive
For you may be the next victim
The good of who none will see
So forgive
For you loose nothing thereof.
Muhammad Sani Yahya
