DEATH LIFE NATURE

NONE SURVIVES

Hunting Hawk

I

As fowls search for corn,

Hawks search for chicks

Eagles search for fowls

Some snakes search for eggs

Forgetting others’ search for snakes

II

As plants draw water, air and sunlight

Sheep and goats search for plants

Cows search for plants

Even dogs search for some plants

Forgetting others search for dogs

III

As cats search for mice

Lions search for cats

Tigers search for cats

All wild cats will never mind catching cats

Forgetting those they dread await

IV

What’s the point?

Aren’t they all edibles of humans and earth?

Some saucepans boil most in their hot fury

For human satisfaction

V

If I consume you

What ails you ails me

Death consumes me

And the earth swallows me

What will be the point?

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. :)
