A SATIRE OF PAIN

The baboon wears pig hair,

Wears squirrel clothes,

Wears penguin feathers,

And keeps snake countenance

But when it is offended at any count

It screams aloud and says without shame:

“It is because I am a baboon”

The chameleon blends all colours

With every change,

Behaves like a statue

When chaos wakes,

Acts like a bird

When it reaches their midst but screams the loudest when it is pecked:

“It is because I am a chameleon”

The lion eats dog food

And wags its tail

It speaks human language

And hunts for them

It behaves like humans when it has its world

But when the dog is missing and all eyes blame it, it screams the loudest and says aloud:

“It’s because I’m a lion.”

Hypocrites!

Stop ridiculing your world!

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
