REFINED BABOON

He had thoughts confined

Kept mute to be refined

Like a monkey in a heavy suit

His sweat formed a river

That run into the sea of the public

Whose fishes gulped and swam

Loving the newness thereof

Unbearables fetched it

And sent it to another river

To introduce the sweat which initially acted

Like sea water

They traced to see the source

And realized it was from a monkey

In a very heavy suit

And so it was that all seas heard

Of the thick hairs being baked

By refinement

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. :)
