Life

April 12, 2013 An ode to LIFE (AGBON) The yesterdays, The todays and even the uncertain morrows In accordance to the law of nature Are in a state of a perpetual flux. The many stages We have Experienced Thus far, Buttress and assert the karmic theory Which states that 'whatever goes up will be reversed so It can be reached'. Our decisions and indecisions Are guides, navigating our paths towards Its designated fate, For a man is wholly free when he is dead. Oh! How true and dedicated many remain To life's hustle Amidst it's bellow mysteries And power tussles. Which arise as a need mistaken For peer pressure, For to sew a clothe, a tailor Must first take a measure. Agbon You are cheap but yet priceless, Harsh like the fate of Ikoka men after the curse. Sour Sweet like the taste of the Otien fruit And indifferent to man's plight. Agbon A statue should be made in your name Because your fairness knows no bound. For if you were biased, Only the few rich will survive Whilst the poor, animals And the trees will go into extinction. 'A wise man lives once And leaves while dying. While a fool dies several times And regrets even while living.' Godwin Henry Osaigbovo Pa Shakespeare
