Chasing The Rain Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Chasing The Rain

Rating: 5.0


I've seen an antelope searching for okra,
He is like man toiling to succeed with his valour;
Weepings of oppress`d flows as runnels,
And no comforters to be their channels;
But better it is, A man who die at birth,
Happier he's than eyes not contented of wealth;
Why? , they saw no evils done in`s world,
No fear O` death for men of old;
To count what's lacking in vain,
All`s like chasing the rain;


I read upon table `f my heart,
Meanin`less! As vapour from the earth
Solomon had treasures, All gone too useless,
Of what use`s wisdom, when he died so wiseless;
Love's deceitful, cherishes's foolish,
And what do pleasures accomplish?
If Man amasses marigolds, rare rubies,
Than any great kings and provinces;
When we're gone, What be the gain?
All's trouble to spirit, trying to catch the rain.

Many saw I that wrought hard and labor, Toils to succeed, jealous of `s neighbour; Weepings of oppress`d flows as runnels, And no comforters to be their channels; ... very fine poem and thinking. tony
