A naughty fly left

Its humble beautiful home

To look for riches

It hovered around

The food of a helpless child

And ate to its fill

III

It saw excreta

And decided to eat some

It realised it stinks

It searched more for cash

And realised it has no safe

To keep any wealth

It resorted to

Live happily and eat well

It turned every stone

It saw a nice house

And dared to go in and search

But fainted early

It was killed by spray

Which was sprayed by the owner

It’s taste went with it

VII

So I say to you

The fly which follows a corpse

Ends up being buried

VIII

Love you and listen

Work hard and don’t be a pest

Pests die unnoticed

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. :)
