Man's Immortal Sculpture Poem by omar ibrahim

Man's Immortal Sculpture

Rating: 4.5


Don't try to carve your name on waves of sea
Because you precious time will go in vain
Do not assume that waves in place will be

Look for immortal stone that have no stain
To carve your name and show your precious slog
That is the Blooming toil with fruits to gain

You must be wise or you'll be lost in smog
Our God has showed which is the wrong and right
No wave can crush a stone enclosed with bog

To carve the hardest stone you need great might
You must be patient if for God you yearn
That's why on scenic sculptures they spot light

Then since you run for nearest profit earn
Don't ask yourself why did you lose your turn

An interesting attempt at the set form and a reminder just how difficult it can be to both rhyme and make sense. The line 'No wave can crush a stone enclosed with bog.' is most interesting, as it seems to be saying, to paraphrase, carve your name on a stone, encase it in mucky ground and no wave will break it. A stone 'that have no stain' would soon pick a few up from a bog!
