A Buffalo Dies In A Town… by BizLifeE: 8:19am On Jun 19, 2016 |
A BUFFALO DIES IN A TOWN A buffalo dies in a town Where there’s no knife To those who know not their values Opportunities flash themselves A buffalo dies in a town Where there’s a need for meat By they don’t recognize that The dead buffalo is a bundle of meat – Opportunities come as a curse Peace often disguises as disappointments Prevention from worst experiences comes as delays A buffalo dies in a town Where they prefer to look for meat in the desert Acres of diamonds – acres of diamonds What we have we never appreciate A buffalo dies in a town Where it’s left to rot and waste We take no advantage of opportunities A buffalo dies in a town Where residents are complacent and sluggish On the other side the grass is always greener Conwell’s Acres of Diamonds! – There’s no pity For the rich man’s child Who’s overpampered and ungrateful To create wealth is better Than to inherit it A buffalo dies in a town Where things are taken for granted But tough times make people Tough, self-reliant and resilient More than being garrulous and loquacious Actions do matter Strengthening those persevering On the earth The courage to face the odds In the world And prove themselves by their effort.
