Something Is Missing Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

Something Is Missing

Rating: 5.0


Great efforts, great rewards
Sow big, reap big
The language used in speeches and banners
In school, at work.

It lures everybody to action
Labour indefatigably
Even when fatigue shows pearl gate
Our reward is big we muttered.

We learnt the irreversible art of time
To dig deep into the future
And never wait for pals
For success gate is narrow.

We learnt the hypocrite of nature
To make people live symbiotically
And destructively to another
For success need con.

I have learnt from men
There relationship solidified
By lies and deceit
For successful man is surrounded by men.

I have learnt at the university
What i ought to know and not known
Dance the song of profession
To belong to a path in life.

I rued my labour, my shoe yet unpolished
Sword sharp not to pierce poverty
Oh! something is missing, GOD!
Except God build the house...

it doesn't matter how we try to generate formulas for success and fulfillment in life, the most important thing is GOD. and our world is falling apart because we are trying to put Him aside in many things and see how we can make it right, but it still doesn't work that way. a very thoughtful piece. nice job.
