There is a famous saying that goes
"Taking a mans livelihood is akin to killing him"
It never made sense as a child
But now as I moult into adulthood
It does.

'Money makes a man'
But what happens when man can not make money?
What happens when a man runs after money
But it flees from him.
Does he keep chasing or does he stand still?
Caught in my dilemma whether to chase or be chased,
I am left holding on the the very source of my little income.

I plead,
as I feel it slowly being taking away by forces beyond control...
'This is all I have'.

Israel Olorunnisola
