Move On Poem by Mbusya Wa Mbusya

Don't let yesterday haunt,
Or people malicious taunt
Accept changes and move on,
People lose bets and live on,
Bargain is not a fixed affair…

Life must go on;
People must die, others born,
Grief mingle with elation,
Every minute be spent equally,
In freedom or incarceration,
In antagonism or brotherhood-
With lust and division,
Spirit torn in commitment with elusiveness,

You lose what you have,
So others may have
You gain what others had,
What they lost in attempt to cling to-
Challenge is a discount for entirety,
Struggle is completeness for attempt.

Merry- today
Love- today
Forgive- today
Live passionately today…
…and die a happy person later on

Tomorrow one of us may abscond hurriedly and never be found.

Hold dearly to friends,
Respect enemies,
Believe in yourself,
Never hang boots on shelf-
In distress;
You'll find many people to talk to,
Few will listen,
None may console; move on…

Should your heart fall prey
Bow down your face in cry,
Wash guilt and pride,
Walk by the river side…
Note the volume of water rush by,
Pass away, and its place taken by another, till time unprescribed the banks runs dry…

Because life is instalments of changes
