LIFE SOCIAL

NEGLECT, SISTER OF REGRET

Air rose from the sea

Stretched on the shore

And proceeded to town

It visited the trees

Greeted the shrubs

And fanned beings

III

Even animals were fanned

All were satisfied

And hailed air

It was branded important

Then its job became a cliché

Complacency set in on earth

They neglected air

Air did it all to be remembered

But no, it was not to be

It went back to the arms of its mother

The sea trained air

And it became winds

VII

Winds rose from the sea

Stepped out as tsunami

And had air’s revenge

VIII

It felt indifferent when it saw the ruins

But blamed it all on neglect

Beings saw that neglect was sister to regret

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. :)
