Epistles of Capt. Chiwetalu.

The preacher said-
At every point, we must give thanks to the lord for the life we have.
I wonder if I could ever be thankful for a life like mine-

What is life to a man with no value?
What is life to a man with no gold?
What is life to a man that fails to fund his habits or that of his missus?

I'll tell you.
Life is hell to a man like that
When he kneels to pray-
He prays for mercy-
A quick death is better than the agony and shame-
He endures-

So tell me wise preacher-
How can I be grateful for a life like mine?
