THE NEVER ENDING BATTLES

The battles of this stage
Like a weary war, just cause rage
Imagine humans battling with age
Some acting like many a cactus, using their wages to win a superior page
Some acting like gods using their gender for a superior stage
Some acting like creative artists to use their skin colour to their advantage
Some acting like poor pious pricky pests to use their religion to measure humanity and judgmentally engage
Some acting like lions using royalty to act like many a sage
Some acting like knowledgeable angels using their education to take over the world’s stage
Some acting like God’s love-children using their talents to others’ self esteem damage
What about the scribes of tribes who argue to apportion classes to others cage?
Why is wealth wielded like a sword to slay, cage and gauge?
We are all funny at this stage
Knowing six feet is the measure of our fate
Once we’re late

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. :)
