Transparent Life Poem by Babatunde Aremu
Transparent Life
It is rewarding to be transparent
There is an enduring joy
In living with open mind
A man with two faces
Is like a slippery python
Though beautiful without
Is poisonous within
What is the use of life
If a man's is beguiled with deceit
If my face is holy
If I pretend to love
If I am outwardly generous
Yet my mind is filled with vices
Then my living is worthless
Only those are transparent
Can fulfill divine mandates
Absolutely great poem! ! So transparent and open to the Divine. Being open and honest invites trust and you never have to worry about covering up lies or hiding deceiving ways. Thank you for sharing your poetical thoughts. RoseAnn

I don't know about the divine, but it is truly hard to live with a mask. One can lose oneself. So it really is better to be honest with your feelings and actions. A lovely poem.
