DIDACTIC: "SCREW IT, LET'S DO IT" BY SAGEBOY ABDULAI FAHBUNDEH

Just screw it, let’s do it!

Gradually it begins from your exist 

And till entrance it holds on not.

It comes in one stage at a time,

And every stage makes the mile for the other.

Learning;

Think not of it as a way to unclean the brain, oh not!

Have the belief — it is a wiper,

The cleaner that sponges every dirt off the mind and forever keeps it ventilated.

Screw it, let’s do it.

And it progresses in the passage of time: Coming and going 

Like the news that brightens the eyes to glance at two in a stare.

Screw the process, let’s learn together.

Screw it, 

And build the hope that gleams and a dream that soars.

It shakes the tail and by no time it spears the move 

Whether old or young; rich or poor; learn!

Do not be a fool — learn and get the mind informed of the ignored.

Then you shall know the truth.

A secret that tells the dire depths of your ignorance.

The most that makes you a student;

So screw it! 

Get the heart geared to reach the latest.
