Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Elegiac Lyric

Building Strong Foundation

Building strong foundation is a game
find an edifice of beauty and admiration
pull it down and laugh heartily
let your engineers do the work of your mind
then celebrate and thank God for anointment

Best work done through time survives not
another builder comes to the stage
no structure is left standing in shame
they are given dignity by destroying 
then celebrate and thank God for  anointment

Do you think original Rome is alive?
Do you think original London is alive?
Do you think original Africa is alive?
Hey, look at the sky and the answer drops
then create more troubles to build strong foundation

Those that make history in this world
seem good destroyers of the present
when the present mourns their birth
the future celebrates their conception
then celebrate and thank God for anointment
