REFLECTIONS


1. This life we all live in,

Like drunks in an inn,

Spewing gibberish and nonsensicals,

Caring less about been economical,

Here, where humans die like flies,

After scavanging the earth like mice.

 

2. Here, where humans kill for lands,

Planting fatal charms in mere sands,

Where they return as maggots food,

As manure for plant as much as they could,

They drag lands and devour their kinds,

Not minding changes occur at all times.

 

3. Envy, hatred, bitterness and jealousy,

Sums up man's existence and autopsy,

We have become monstrous beasts,

Terribly rising menancingly from the east,

It's a dog eat dog society globally,

Man devour his kind eventually.

 

4. Go to places of business and work,

Man, is always with one another at war,

Some sit on peoples happiness and promotion,

Mocking peoples tears and painful demotion,

Here, where money is helplessly worshipped,

Man is not ready to get these vices nipped.

 

5. Oh! what a short and troubled life!

 Man is not ready to help his type,

We are all desperate for one thing or another,

Man can comfortably murder his mother,

And behead her all for this money,

Oh! what an unpreditable journey.
