PUBLISHERS LIST…………………………………………...156 INTRODUCTIONHE RHYTHM OF LIFE is a book written in rhyme, melodyT, ofhow to be in harmony in a catastrophic, noisy and with sixty five chapters, probably the first of its kind.It talks about life and its rhyme, the rhythm and nuisancefilled world.The Rhythm Of Life is a tool carefully fashioned to live in tune, tone and line in a constantly changing musical world. As if, it all about music. The frequency, pitch and keys of the worldly keyboard; Living here requires an instrumentalist who is devoted to his instruments, be they musical or not. Well laid out plans, insights, resonances, and dance steps, trying to show the dancer how to man the dancefloor and the stage, in order to be a wonderful performer. This book hammers on wrong notes, poor dances, hard influences and bad rhythms killing the resonances of life. One needs, the dancer especially, which is the human and humans in question, to be properly enlightened on tunes of life, in order to sing and or dance along in a very melodious manner. A good singer can make a good dancer, but when one hardly sings or dances, one tend to perform woefully in a world of performing artists. Life is a stage, we perform, we leave, good or bad, with or without ovation. But it matters that we leave with ovation, especially when it is high. It is aimed at teaching, reaching, correcting, enlightening, helping, directing and redirecting the living to find their feet in this slippery and aged world. This introduction is purely in musical terms, depicting the name "THE RHYTHM OF LIFE"

CHAPTER 1: THE HIM I never enjoyed his cane Today, it is my sugarcane, I thought he was strict But he built me a district, He went to the extreme Just to make me supreme To me, it was affliction But truly an affection, He taught me also the negative Preparing me for the positive, I never really understood Today, it is my livelihood, He was not a millionaire But richer than a billionaire A seasoned educationist Generational philanthropist, Never went to teach with note Because he was not remote, The ground is filled with seed The world will never lack feed He is a set of tools And a pure wonder to fools, Not interested in fame Rather in good name Not a modern preacher Old and excellent teacher Not embittered by scandals Changed many rascals, Never intimidated by number Neither went into slumber,
