Nagging Thoughts (a Poem) by Dripy(m): 10:59am On May 02, 2016 |
I wrote this poem in 2012 during my service year. Its relevance now cannot be underestimated considering the state of the nation. All rights reserved @Joshworld. Feel free to criticise. NAGGING ThOUGHTS Who taught the cockerel how to crow Who taught the he-goat how to bleat Who taught the lion when to roar Or gave the hissing sound to snakes If they all learnt their sounds from birth If they can do well without school If they can strive to feed their own Oh man why would you fail at all? With all books yet fail to learn With all learning no knowledge to show When will you learn to get it right Saving your world from damnation No food to feed our own again No house to shelter from the cold No air to breath, its all poisoned To stay alive is just by grace Why don't we try to put it right? Why don't we try to solve our woes? To die and rise is to die twice My people this is all I have to say. |
