Thought Of A Tortoise Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Thoughts are mixed with any
Of the feelings and emotions constitute
A magnetic force which attracts other
Similar or related thoughts within
If only I have legs that can walk
As fast as that of humans, I could
Have run around the world.

If only I have no house on my back
I wiLl walk faster than the pride ostrich
How I wish I have a human brain
I would have rule the world with ease
If only I could fly like the birds
I would fly so high to all parts
Of the world making light that wiLl
Sustain mankind, then I will decorate the
Universe with a glorious fragrance of hope

If only I am not a tortoise but a parrot
I would have sing to the world a melodious love song
That wiLl change the heart of animals called man
If only I am a lion, I could have rule the world
But now I am a slow animal, it makes no difference
Like humans who wish they could but could not in the long run.
