Live And Let Life Poem by Felix Emeka George

People say common sense
Like sense is common as sand on the seashore
Like rocks every where on earth
And so I ask,
How common?

There is a scarcity of sense to know that men from the horizon have no superior customs
Taste is no superior
But like debris, we discard our customs
Like the cloths, not all fabrics in nature is good for the sun
Let the people's tradition be for them to suit their history and environment.

I say
If your tradition is the cause of conflict
then my mother's soup is more edible than yours.
I stand to defend my ego and integrity
The ways our leaders and dealers buy and sell our Antiquites hurts my soul.
Tomorrow is till pregnant
Wait and see
Expect the messiah coming in vain
