Edward G Poems

It took me a while to know your game
You don’t let anyone easily make a name
Complacency and temptations are your ancient tools
To beat the wisest and make them look like fools
...

Every Sunday after church, there is so much that I decide
But by mid week, I have already changed the sides
My resolutions to be blameless and just
Often fails to the world’s attractions and lust
...

It took me millions of years to give a climate that suits thee
But you took just 100 years to ruin it, and made it so rough
By drying my rivers, poisoning my seas, polluting the sky and cutting my trees
It's time for action and change, calling me ‘mother' isn't enough.
...

People wait for Birthdays to celebrate it in a special way
But the joy and happiness quickly withers away
They praise you with just lips for many things and qualities
Never meant from their heart, but were just modern formalities
...
