COMPLACENCY

Trees on rocks

I know you fear no sand pest

And you are famous

Because you are unique

But don’t be complacent

Trees on rocks
Don’t act immortal
Remember there are strong winds
Which can break you in twos
If it can’t uproot you

III
Trees on rocks
Complacency is burst bile in chicken for chicken meat lovers
Who wants to taste that through carelessness?
Certainly not those whose buttocks
Have tasted hard rocks

So trees on rock

Cherish your leaves

Don’t only think of your roots

For leaves can help serve

As your wind breaks

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. :)
