Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Free verse

Silent Earth

Earth in her silence moves
in her slow speed but covers
long distances in no time

No one has had the wisdom
to measure the distance
the earth has traveled in life
since her birth day in time

Earth does not boast around
blowing its achievements in air
demanding for her name to be
in newspapers and journals

Her birth day never celebrated
but she is mother of the living
the perishable humans, chimps
dangerous, destructive to earth
have their birth days celebrated

Yet humans say they have a lot
in their computers of discovery
is this the wisdom of ignorance,
or ignorance of wisdom at work?

Again humans, I’m amazed 
in their celebrated intelligence
never mark universally, existence
of God, the Creator of cosmos!
but fight and quarrel for Him!
Yet the silent earth moves on!
