Wax, Flax! Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Wax, Flax!

Rating: 4.0


Birth,
Naked!
Exposed to life! ! !
Entering into the world.

Wax, flax!
Oil and soil,
Thirst and drink,
Trying to grow up;

Wool and linen to cover your nakedness!
Faith and hope with the muse of peace and love;
Growing up! !
To face the odds of life.

In the days of your youth!
Trying to understand the teachings of your Parents! !
With the muse of your neighbours;
All about love and life.

In righteousness and judgement when the right thing is done!
With servitude and attitude;
Uplifting righteous morals! !
Growing up positively.

Children should understand the importance of teaching of their parents. In reality parents help in uplifting righteous morality of the children. An excellent poem is very brilliantly penned...10
