Thoughts of Life

Dancing to the beat of the song To the rhythmic sound of the gong I watch them dance along As they act right or wrong They really can't tell If the journey be short or long They spend me like money Sucking out my juice and honey Wish they new I'm a journey Their deeds are a phony I shake my head, it seems funny My heart cries to them learn I beg you learn In me lie lots for you to earn But I respond only to your yearn Use me well and grow You reap in me what you sow What you own you owe When it will end you do not know Swimming with the tide I watch them glide along Carelessly they let me slide Unconcerned that night comes And the great beyond beckons Poem written by Ogunfowokan Kolawole
