The Myopic Changes Of Life Poem by AMADU KAMARA

The Myopic Changes Of Life



The world takes a u-turn by becoming unbecoming
And society becomes vulnerable to the greed of men
With lost of culture and search for unending savagery.
Clans no longer act as one because of followers of
The trend of the world whose culture billows
In the breeze like a waving flag.

Human thoughts are self centered around them
But not ahead of them causing lost of societal values.
Justice as a speaker for the entire populace
Becomes inflammable with corruption
And society wallows into an instinct of barbarism
Where the shameful becomes shameless.

The immemorial of time reminds us of early man
Using animal skin as clothing to hide his shamefulness
Whilst the memorial of time explains the inability
Of modern man to develop sense of shame and pride
As a weapon to protect one's esteem
And henceforth we claim to be civilized in an uncivilize society.

We failed the scripture; our guide and ruler
As a home decoration on our shelves
With harden ears to respond to its call.
We toil for our insatiable wants and
Forgetting that it's all vanity
With gains today and loss of tomorrow.

There is an undisputed fact that there
Is one world in which every human is
In his or her own world with a right to
To life and wrong to the inevitable
advent of death. For the grave is human's
ending of all his or her beginning.
