Simplicity Poem by Henry Nii Ayi Cobblah

Sounds of shame
effect of immortality
sense of eternity
knowledge of the self impossed mind


man, a death of the flesh
spirit, a life of the soul
mind, an overflow ofemotions
life...vanity a it peak


labour of the flesh
sweat of the blood
gains of the heart
death of the flesh


in the midst of the skies
a dream it will appear
as life of the old is lived aright
and a new is well done


redefining creativity
crativity in the sense of the mind
minding the business of the heart
heart to show what the soul feels


labour to the unborn
yet born to predestination
gains i wonder who inherits it
laughter to the simiple mind


simple mind it is
of wisdom from the almighty
vanity all of life seems to be
under the sun, vanity it is


why the rush
why the toil and pain
is it because pain show gains
life and gains seperate, simple it is to live.
