Poem
Frailty of Power and Strength of being Modest Whoever is doing business Eye for detail must have One could be doing dizziness Should one misbehave. * Our errant Town Councillor With all majesty endowed Needs a Social Counsellor To secure honour bestowed. * Not least unruly Preacher Who, from sin must reform, Would he not want a Teacher For nurture to conform! * Also the mystified Minister.... Who is here just by chance Orientation to administer And stir him from his trance! *** Why can’t us from student Modest, we lower or spurn, Yet, humble and prudent, Big self, one or two learn? * Demetrios’ *cry for wisdom Yearning not for power..... Wealth and the Kingdom, Will reward this Follower! * Humble and loyal as a Dog Dog, a Man’s best Friend; You may flog it with a log It won’t stop or relent! * When Solomon prayed Wealth poured forth. Anania an’ Saphira strayed They begot their worth! * From the mouths of babies Salvation forth will pour- He cursed wayward sages Who, Humility did deplore. * I learn it all from nature; + A bird at flight my Tutor Bird song gives me stature To serenade my Suitor! * Open vista of the waves + With briny water creases Idle mind mine it raves Praise of He it releases. * Love of mother leopard To its nimble litter.... Mine, would I not Shepherd To bow to the Creator? • With humble reference to Demetrios, the Epigram Icon’s Poem: SEDUCED BY. + Inspired by Mark Peterson’s Poem: NO WORDS JM 30th Oct’ 2013
