Man In Care Poem by Abel John

Man In Care

Rating: 0.5


O man, art thou perfect?
Made of perfection,
Man in perception cultured.
The eyes and mind none
could nurture;
In uncertainty and errors
life's ventured.
No man's born blank or
filled to the brim!
No! Not one born by
insemination,
Bred behind Eden with the
knowledge of good and evil
for extenuation.
In tongue, the power to
make or mar.
With the arms lies the
strength to strangle,
And give life a torture.
Son, in this is your friend!
Let him in your radar for
unction,
Till be ripe for rapture:
Thou art man in care!

O man, art thou with
desire?
Will power, in the head of a
fool, poisons like viper.
But with wisdom a million
stones to toss.
All my days I've desired to
be like him:
The measure of dust that
invented aeroplane;
The one head who's the
father of faith;
Before every eyes, a man,
translated through heaven's
gate;
On chariots of fire strolled
the streets of gold,
And in its mansions dwells
day and night.
Even within this habitation:
The strong admiration to
grow into whom I wasn't,
Burning desire to become
whom I couldn't, never'd
die.
On this road there're people
to lean for paces.
Learning's sure to come but
in phases;
And in mentors is the catch
to light our faces.
Amongst men is given all
life would offer.
The knowledge you seek is
baked in another.
Son, of this friend let not go,
As you gaze in expectations,
Till be right for
manifestations:
He's thy man in care!

O neck why art thou stiffen?
A hundred turns can't
chasten this lad!
For he would look in their
hands for what's not there.
What he seeks is right,
Where he peeps is nought.
A look within lights the path
to nudity;
Nuisance's bore in threads
of heredity.
Their fingers are buried in
manicure;
Feet sold to pedicure.
To the beats of life they
dance as amateurs;
For their flat bums are
stocked in furnitures.
'Age-tie' hasn't enough
luminosity,
But iron sharpens iron.
Dare look not away!
Son, this is a fellowship of
the ring!
Let her see through your
eyes the glory to reveal,
As she's impacted with the
gift of integrity and zeal,
Till be light to be celebrity:
For thy man in care!
