Paying For Greatness Poem by Viola Akhigbe

If greatness is something that's on your mind
Here's something that you should bear in mind -
There is a price that must be paid
For the greatness that will be made
You can pay now and then play later
Or you can play now and then pay later
If you pay now, you may pay harder
If you pay later, you may pay higher
But any which way and whatever you say
You still will pay on a sure fated day
Yet if you will choose, I'll say this to you
The earlier you pay, the better for you.
