Lifes Brief But Fascinating

LIFES  BRIEF  BUT  FASCINATING.
I  was  in  need  of  sweet  potatoes  and
Rich  tomatoes,
I  visited  the  market  square.
So  many  people  with  different
Scents.
Tents  all  over, in  different
Paints.
Goods  are  purchased  in  sets.
You  must  pay  before  collect.
I  noticed, despite  the  crowd
There’s  convience
Quantity  of  goods  still  at
Large  lengths.
Mans  wants  has  no  rest,
With  various  races  on  the  earth.
In  this  square  there’s  no  friend,
I  am  here  just  to  quench  my  taste.
Don’t  loiter,
Buy  what  you  need  first,
That  should  be  your  quest
In  avoiding  regrets.
We  must  all  go  home  to  rest,
Against  sunset.
                                                                                                  HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.
