Remember Poem by EZEKIEL HARUNA DANBAKI

Remember

Rating: 5.0


You whose eyes do not stay long in one place
Whose mouth is busier than the nose- spitting refutable lies
You whose legs wander all day in rumour mongering
You who finds peace today but ensures your neighbour finds none tomorrow
Remember, nothing lasts forever
.
You who already possess a full stomach, yet would gladly take from the beggar's bowl
You whose fat hooves step on hungry toes in your mad rush for glorified positions
Who fight to be kings, who chase after emptiness
You who for wants of rubies testify against an honest man
Remember, nothing lasts forever
.
You merry wife of many husbands, here and there sharing your cakes
Sweet darling of confused women, in your loins lies a mighty force
You who wears your clothes inside out- always deceiving- your inside never matching the outside
Remember
Though we rush to fulfill our desires
Kick and bite to gain glories
Today we live and shortly we die
Remember, we are worms' stool
I repeat, nothing lasts forever
